https://bmpd.livejournal.com/2974493.htmlVCS of Russia received another four front-line bomber Su-34
PJSC "Sukhoi Company" (part of the United Aircraft Corporation) in its press releases of November 20 and 24, 2017 (here and here) reported the transfer of the next batch of Su-34 front-line bombers to the Russian Defense Ministry as part of the implementation state defense order of 2017. Both press releases state that "the planes took off from the aerodrome of the Novosibirsk Aviation Plant named after V.P. Chkalov (NAZ) and went to their location."
According to the bmpd, it is about the transfer on November 18 and 24 of the Russian Civil Aviation Administration in total four Su-34 bombers built by NAZ (branch of PJSC "Sukhoi Company") under the state defense order of 2017. It is known that two of these machines (supposedly handed over on November 24) have red side numbers "01" and "02".
It was reported that two aircraft, handed over on November 18 (release on which was issued on November 20), flied the same day "to the place of permanent basing in one of the garrisons of the Far Eastern Military District." In turn, it was reported that two planes were handed over on November 24 that they "flew to their place of permanent deployment - to one of the air units of the Western Military District." The parts to which these Su-34s should arrive are not yet identified.
It should be recalled that earlier NASA had transferred eight military bombers Su-34 - four in the party on May 22, 2017 (planes with red onboard numbers "24", "25", "27" and "29") and four in the party on October 16, 2017 (airplanes with red onboard numbers "30", "31", "32" and "33"). All of them entered the 277th Bomber Aviation Regiment of the 303rd Mixed Air Division of the 11th Red Banner Army of the Air Force and Air Defense of the Eastern Military District at Khurba airfield (near Komsomolsk-on-Amur, Khabarovsk Territory), allowing it to complete its complete rearmament from bombers Su-24M2.
Earlier, the 277th Aviation Regiment received 16 Su-34 aircraft during 2016 (cars with red onboard numbers from 01 to 07, from 09 to 12, 14 and from 20 to 16, 23 "), which entered the regiment in four batches from May to December.
Although the 277th regiment received 24 regular aircraft, however, it is assumed that the next two new Su-34s, transferred on November 18, 2017, also became part of this regiment.
Sent on the Russian Air Force on November 24, two Su-34 aircraft are likely to be used to arm a new aviation unit in the Western Military District.
All Su-34 aircraft built in 2017 in the NAZ were manufactured under the contract with the Russian Defense Ministry from February 2012 for 92 such aircraft. With the delivery of the new four Su-34s on November 18 and 24, 2017, the total number of aircraft of this type, transferred to the VKS under the contract of 2012, reached 66 units. The first two Su-34s under this contract were transferred to Novosibirsk by the Russian Air Force on December 24, 2013, the next 18 aircraft - in 2014, 18 more aircraft - in 2015, 16 - in 2016, and now 12 - in 2017. Up to the end of the year, another four Su-34 aircraft should be delivered to the VKS in the account of the 2017 program.
With the transfer of these four bombers to the Russian military aeronautical station on November 18 and 24, 2017, the total number of Su-34s built under all contracts, including seven pre-production and pre-production models, reached 110 units.
The 277th Bomber Regiment became the third regiment of the Russian Air Force, re-equipped with Su-34 aircraft, after the 47th mixed aviation regiment of the 105th Mixed Air Division of the 6th Leningrad Red Banner Air Force and Air Defense Command of the Western Military District at the Baltimore airfield (Voronezh), which received 24 Su-34 units in 2011-2013, and the 559th bomber aviation regiment of the 1st mixed aviation division of the 4th Krasnoznamennaya Army of the Air Force and Air Defense of Russia of the Southern Military District at the aerodrome Morozovsk (Rostov Region), which in 2013-2015 years 36 units down the Su-34.
Ufff .... last month bmpd said that the 4 Su-34 had board numbers Nº30,32,34 and 35
Finally , when the 4 photos were available, the numbers are 30,31,32,33
It seems that when he do not have enough data, he invents them
The planes usually do not come with the regimental emblems painted from the factory, those emblems are painted usually in the ARZ´s or in the same regiment
Nº02 with that emblem is probably serial 07-06 , Nº02 of the 277 BAP (feb-2017) https://russianplanes.net/id204954 (may-2016) https://russianplanes.net/id189982
One second regiment in West , South or East MD probably will have higher tail numbers, 50, 51... or 70,71... and also there will be an opening ceremony.
More planes for existing regiments cannot have numbers 01, 02..... There are already 4 Nº01´s and 4 Nº02´s in the RuAF
The only regiment where Nº02 is reasonable is 2 BAP Chelyabinsk
It is better to wait more photos and realiable information
so we are at 103 units and we expect 26 more (another 4 until the end of the year)
103 aircraft of series, but now the prototype Nº46 has received the Nº46 and registration of the Air Force RF-94487
The base of Voronezh is about to reopen after almost 6 years and the Air Force Academy is operational again. The Nº04 RF-92252 of Lipestk was also transferred to Voronezh Aeronautical Engineering University VVAIU
Then , now if you count this Nº46 and Nº04 transferred from Lipetsk, then you have 104 "in service" , despite the VVAIU is a engineering academy not a flying unit
This is the parking of the VVANU , with 2 Su-34 , 3 Su-27 , 2 MiG-31 2 MiG-29 and other planes
