In July 2011, all 18 Su-30Ks returned by India were transported to the 558th ARZ in Baranovichi, where they were stored

... so why should they rot in the fields ... let them bring money ...

Pride in Angola right up to a lump in your throat! "The drum is good - the captain is bad." I wonder how much the USSR and Russia wrote off debts to Angola?

3,5 billion $ 5 billion, the rest was supposed to return with bills in 2016.

But they did not rot, but stood and stand in the hangars. I declare this as a resident of the city of Baranavichy.

... Maxim, I’m a little exaggerated of course, struck ...

[Jedi]

So I understand. I will not say when, where and in what quantity I saw Angolan flyers who came to "get acquainted" with the Su-30K.

What a difficult commercial scheme

[Vik66]

Did I miss something and Angola has already acquired an aircraft carrier?

I doubt it, but it’s hardly necessary for the purchase of aircraft))

[Vik66]

Yeah, in case you have to eat, hook on a palm tree ...

[Rebus]

Rather, the Su-30K is commercial.

Delivery-like Ford Transit

[Ustin]

I’ll tell you, in a terrible secret, the SU-30 K is not a ship’s, but a "commercial" one, well this is for information ...

Su-30K - commercial (i.e. for export). ship "Drying" Su-33 as I understand it (and so far the letters K or E have not been observed in their index)

It's nice to see the arrival of our technology in this country. I immediately remembered our participation in the war in this country (the 80s, who forgot). Then I had to manage the equipment of the airdromes (NII-33 and Polet helped). How beautifully the Cubans flew on our MiG-23. In three months, protvotnik aviation was completely destroyed. Raul Castro (I met him there) personally thanked his pilots. About the same as V.V. Ways yesterday thanked our military in Syria. Glorious were the times. The Americans were afraid of the USSR. I have the honor.

The 6 remaining seemed to want to sell to Sri Lanka.

[Ustin]

I don’t know. India and Sri Lanka have territorial troubles. What's the point?

You confuse my friend. For example, India handed them a patrol ship.

Maybe I'm confusing, but I did not see it all in the newspapers.

And what can be taken from Angola for these aircraft? And I see no difference between the old (Soviet) and the new (Russian) approaches in these matters. What is the meaning of these supplies? Give the black people a loan, write down the amount of the debt, and after 5 (10 -20) years generally write off and slip other pieces of iron?
And then they say that we have a very sensible foreign policy.
