Defense Ministry plans to sign a new contract for the supply of Su-34

A new contract for the supply of the Russian Air Force for the Su-34 front-line bombers will be signed this summer. The Ministry of Defense plans to purchase several dozen modernized aircraft, TASS reports citing a source in the military-industrial complex.

According to the statement of the news agency source, it is planned to conclude a contract for the supply of the Su-34 batch of the Russian Aerospace Forces, which have undergone modernization as part of the Sych development work.

The military department plans to conclude a contract this summer with Sukhoi Company PJSC for the supply of several dozen Su-34s with advanced combat capabilities to the troops. The aircraft will integrate the latest radio-electronic equipment created as part of the Sych development work

- leads TASS source words.

As the interlocutor of the agency explained, the Sych ROC was completed in 2019. As part of this modernization, it is planned to install suspended reconnaissance containers on the Su-34, and also significantly expand the range aviation means of destruction. As part of this ROC, it is planned to upgrade the entire fleet of the Su-34 in service in the future.

Su-34 is a Russian multifunctional fighter-bomber, designed to attack aircraft by means of destruction at ground targets of the enemy in operational and tactical depth under conditions of strong opposition. It refers to the generation of 4 ++ and allows you to perform basic combat missions without escorting fighter jets. It uses long-range air-to-air and long-range air-to-air weapons with multi-channel applications. Equipped with a highly intelligent radar counter and defense system. Flight range - up to 4 000 km, maximum speed - up to 1 900 km / h, combat load - up to eight tons.

The armor is strong and our planes .... in short, you need as many of them as you NEED!

[rocket757]

It’s just interesting, who appreciated it that way? those who are for or those who are against ...

[RideMaster]

Su 25 is truly our best attack aircraft (s)

[rocket757]

34 is not an attack aircraft, they are different in functionality, tactics of application, although some functions overlap.

[RideMaster]

This is a meme I made so local. It means that your post is completely zero in terms of informativeness. Why did you write it is the question.
I'm talking about your first comment above.

[rocket757]

I was just joking.
I never write enthusiastically about what is already clear.
About armaments in general, I ceased to be enthusiastic, for a long time, because most often you realize that it is scary, although technology can just be the height of perfection in terms of design work, technology and production.
Likely it comes to some in due time that you want a peaceful sky above your head ... at the same time you realize that it will not be yet, and the country SHOULD arm itself with the latest technology, teach, and prepare warriors for protection.
In short, such a "peaceful militarist" on a military site ... it happens.

Man, are you, or a real moron, or are you mowing under him? How did you start to blunt?

[rocket757]

As I understand it, the Su 34 is going to replace the Su 24, which is the same front-line bomber of the previous generation. Su 25 "Rook" attack aircraft.

[RideMaster]

Nevertheless, - su 25 is truly our best attack aircraft (s)
))

[rocket757]

According to reviews, the plane is good. Everything has its time, at the moment there is only one more such class. The American A-10 ... there’s nothing more to compare.

[Ax Matt]

Not about the Su-34 (it is out of competition and another class of aircraft in general!) In a sense, the A-10 has slightly better combat characteristics than the Su-25. The main ones: there are more suspension points and the carrying capacity is more (not by many), the weapons are more varied. The engines are spaced more successfully than those of the Rook (this is important for the attack aircraft). But the Su-25 has a greater upgrade resource, higher flight characteristics, and booking. Now the Supergrach has already gone into production (avionics, sights have been modernized ...) Then, as the Warthog has already begun to be removed from service (there are about 234 pieces left), although NATO still has no replacement for it! Simply, the resource has already been exhausted in all respects. The mattress toppers even tried to order removable light attack aircraft to replace them, but they realized in time: "they are absolutely useless against Russia" ...

[rocket757]

Stripes, who did not forget how to think, realized that having written off the A-10, there was simply Nothing to replace it with them and with all the others! so sho modernize as they can, that's all business.

In 1994 he found out about him from the magazine * Wings of the Motherland *, immediately fell in love with him! Handsome man! An interesting nickname is the Platypus!

[bessmertniy]

Beauty is not bad, but the main thing is the good characteristics and front-line efficiency that it has.

[Ax Matt]

Tupolev also said: A beautiful car and flies beautifully! With the characteristics and efficiency of the "Duck" the complete order ... is proven.

[Orkraider]

Welcome


And there is still a very interesting color))))

[Ax Matt]

"Platypus"...?! Ha-ha ... Well this is necessary ... DUCKLING !!! I heard a bell, but don’t know where he is ...

[Yrec]

It would be interesting to know the opinion of a pilot flying a Su-34 over Syria about this aircraft.

[V1er]

Good news! Good luck to our engineers.

[aszzz888]

In the framework of this development work, it is planned to upgrade the whole park armed with the Su-34.

And this is the second good news. Although earlier there were discussions on this issue.

[Nikolaevich I]

I just don’t understand why the Su-34 is stubbornly called the “4++ generation”! ? Well, I agree with "4+" ...

[RideMaster]

You understand so thoroughly what exactly the first plus means, and what the second? I envy you such specific knowledge.

[alexmach]

Nothing essentially means. Marketing conversations.

[Ax Matt]

Usually the generation 4 ++ is used to designate aircraft based on a 4th generation airframe (in this case, an integrated mid-wing on the T-10 / Su-27 base), but with a significant amount of composite materials in the structure, which reduces the RCS and with elements of the structure itself leading to an increase in stealth (keels, tilt angles of elements ... etc.) is "+", the next "+" in the modernization of avionics (AFAR, laser sights ...) and engines with a controlled thrust vector. This is brief. Only the following indicators do not reach the full-fledged fifth generation 4 ++: the impossibility of non-afterburning supersonic flight (cruising flight), the design of common contours and angles of inclination and the weapon attachment points outside the fuselage, which significantly "shines" the aircraft on radars.

[Nikolaevich I]

About the "generational difference" everyone screeches "who is into what much"! "Simplistically" we can say this: 1. generation-4+: as a result of modernization, the eroplan acquires some features, "gadgets", which are characteristic of 5th generation aircraft, but which were not (or "weakly" developed ...) in 4th generation aircraft generation ... 2. Generation-4++ ....! "Almost" 5th generation! Before the 5th generation, 1-2 properties of 5th generation aircraft are "not enough" ... The Su-34 has (?): 1. supersonic cruising flight .; 2. AFAR; 3. stealth stealth; 4. the ability to use missiles (RVV) with a range of St. 100 km ?? Why, similar in a number of "features" Su-30 belongs to the generation-4+; and the Su-34-to the generation -4 ++? After all, they were created in approximately the same years ... and, if my memory serves me, on the "base" of the Su-27UB! And one more "little thing" in confirmation of "who is into what" ...: the same Su-30, which is usually referred to as generation-4+, but you can also find articles where the Su-30 is called "generation -4 ++ "! I do not exclude the possibility that after further modernization, the "resulted" Su-34M and Su-30SM3 aircraft can be attributed to the generation-4 ++, but this is a matter of the future ... let's hope that the next one!

[Ax Matt]

I don’t have the habit of talking. I write what I taught at VVU. Although, you do not understand much at all ... confusion. Everything I understood: the Su-30 is frankly weak in terms of engines and radar (compared to the same Su-35). Therefore, 4+. And now he needs modernization. Which will be done. Most likely, after modernization (with imported components) it will be sold for export ... as an option.

[Siberian 66]

Finally, the intelligence container will be hanged. This was very lacking !!!

[svp67]

As part of this modernization, it is planned to install suspended reconnaissance containers on the Su-34, as well as significantly expand the range of aircraft weapons.

This is good, since very soon the resource of the now mercilessly exploited Su-24 will end and the entire "bomb load" of the front-line bomber will fall on the shoulders of the "duck"

[RideMaster]

Oh, this is the case, instead of unnecessary modernization of the su 25. As I understand it, the su is 34m. I would still replace the first su 34 then with these and at least a squadron of Syrians. Oh, somehow let not be stingy about my pension and give it to the Syrians)))

[bars1]

No, this is the Su-34NVO its main feature is the ability to carry reconnaissance containers. In fact, the replacement of the Su-24MR. Su-34M more thorough modernization. Work began in 2018. the first plane is planned to be lifted in air in 2022.

[Foxnova]

On the basis of su 34 it is necessary to revive marine missile aircraft

[askort154]

The military department plans to sign a contract with PJSC Sukhoi Company this summer for the supply of several dozen Su-34s with enhanced combat capabilities to the troops.

Finally, they will breathe at the factory. There were rumors about the refusal of the Ministry of Defense from further orders for the Su-34 (in the comments on the VO). Apparently, not everything suited them as a result of the "running in" in Syria.

[God save the king]

The last mass-produced front-line bomber in the world.
Why does Russia not switch to fighter-bombers, again "its own way"?

[Prjanik]

I think when it is possible to relatively calmly work cleanly on the ground, as in Syria, it is more convenient to do this with the Su-24/34, and not the Su-30.

[God save the king]

According to the developers, the Su-30 with an aiming container is no worse than the Su-34.

[Prjanik]

But the load he has a little less and no armored cabins, dumb at low altitudes.

[God save the king]

Loading is almost the same, the presence of an armored cabin for a high-speed vehicle is more of a disadvantage than an advantage: it won’t help at low altitude, it’s not needed at high altitude.

[Prjanik]

As a whole, if you take the Su-30 with a container, the difference is small, but in the future the Duckling would be worth upgrading precisely as a front-line bomber, and the Su-30 is universal, with the theory of replacing the Su-57.

[God save the king]

The duckling would be worth upgrading

Modernization is still understandable, but continuing to build and order this "unparalleled in the world" archaic is too much.
The construction of a mass series of a single combat aircraft (the same Su-30, with the theoretical replacement for the Su-57), would be the best option to increase the combat potential of the air fleet, which is now pretty thinned out.

[Prjanik]

Undoubtedly, the Su-30 / Su-57 are necessary for the war against a modern adversary, but imagine that you need to bomb the barmaley, and then the front-line bomber with a higher payload will be more profitable, rather than an ultramodern multi-functional fighter or strategic missile carrier.

[bars1]

The current Su-30SM are not capable of lifting 1500kg bombs (Su-35S and Su-34 can) And it is not clear whether it is possible to modify the combatant for this. Better to switch to the Su-57, and the production of "classics" should be stopped. Well, or leave only Su-35S

[God save the king]

The current Su-30SM are not capable of raising 1500kg bombs

Indian Su30s carry 3 "brahmos" (2,5 tons each missile). It is clear that not on standard suspension assemblies, but the very fact of a huge backlog is obvious, I think it will not be difficult to add 30 KAB-1500 to su.

Can I have such a photo? And while only 40 cars and with one rocket are planned.

and no armored cabins

But what's the point ??? Su-34 is not a ground attack aircraft. And at high altitude from the armored car, the sense of zero. But it would be possible either to lighten the aircraft by almost 1,5 tons, or to take more fuel and ammunition.

[Prjanik]

Yes, you can do a lot, and throw the stove out, outhouse, reduce the size of this cabin if necessary.

[bars1]

It’s easier to develop a new aircraft than to modify the Su-34 in such a way

[sivuch]

And there is no need to disfigure him like that. What you need - a radar with work on the ground is better than the current one and a replacement (or a very serious modernization of Platan

Well, recently one Su-34 in close formation drove another wing along the cockpit, if there were an ordinary lantern, it would most likely have been demolished. Or another example, in Afghanistan there were losses of Su 17 from the defeat of a pilot during takeoff from large-caliber rifles or machine guns. and during "Desert Storm" there were often cases of wounding of pilots by rocket fragments. So armor won't hurt.

Booking is justified only on attack aircraft (and then, not only the cockpit should be booked, but also all vital aircraft systems)
Why do not they put armor on the Su-24, Su-30, MiG-29, Tu-22M3 ???

[sivuch]

And why was it put on the MiG-27 and later phantoms?
You think that enemy missiles are either waving or blowing the plane to the trash. By the way, the "extra" weight is not one and a half tons.

Here, everything is transparent, Rudolph. Initially, the drill will be the shaman.

Within the framework of this ROC, in the future it is planned to modernize the entire fleet of Su-34s in service

[bars1]

It is clearly written that from the beginning new ones will be riveted, and then they will also upgrade combat units. Although they will certainly not buy reconnaissance containers on all aircraft. But the ammunition will expand.

[Shraik]

Quote: rudolff

A somewhat vague statement. Is this the supply of new machines for an improved design or the supply of modernized combat aircraft? It's just that I have repeatedly met such verbiage in statements and in fact, "delivery" meant modernization.

I also ask this question. But even if there is simply a modernization of existing ones, then this is also good. The army will receive a modernized plane, and people will work.

[East Kazakhstan]

With or without AFAR?

I'm afraid that without. A new radar is promised for the modification of 2022 ...
