A new contract was signed for the supply of Su-34 front-line bombers to the troops

The Russian Aerospace Forces will receive a new batch of Su-34 front-line bombers, a contract for the supply of aircraft was signed as part of the Army-2022 international forum.

The parameters of the contract have not yet been disclosed, so we cannot say how many new aircraft the military has ordered. Perhaps information about this will become known a little later. In the meantime, the agreement was signed by Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation Alexei Krivoruchko and Vice President of the United aviation Corporation Alexander Bobryshev.

A state contract is signed for the supply of Su-34 aircraft

- announced the announcer of the ceremony.

Most likely, the bombers will be produced already in a modernized version, since from 2021 all aircraft entering the troops will be in the Su-34M version. In total, by 2027, within the framework of already concluded contracts, the Ministry of Defense plans to receive 76 modernized Su-34Ms of a new construction, now an as yet unnamed number of aircraft can be added to them under the new contract.

The Su-34 is a Russian multifunctional fighter-bomber capable of carrying up to eight tons of ammunition, the aircraft is actively used as part of the SVO in Ukraine.

Also signed a number of contracts for the supply to the troops drones. We are talking about UAVs Orlan, Pacer and Eleron. This is confirmed by the Ministry of Defense. In particular, the military should receive drones "Orlan-10", "Orlan-30", strike reconnaissance "Pacer", as well as UAV "Eleron-3".

Great news! As never before this contract!

[Vadim237]

The main thing is that a sufficient number of high-precision aviation weapons would be ordered for these aircraft and others.

The main thing is that a sufficient number of high-precision aviation weapons would be ordered for these aircraft and others.

And the required number of crews were prepared.

[Corrosion inhibitor]

Yes, they are getting ready. This was planned four years ago.

[Zaurbek]

And when the plane is one, using the F15EX as an example, it is easier to train crews: one plane, one cabin, one pilots.

[Leshak]

Drones are needed yesterday and as many as possible. Well, the SU-34 will not be superfluous.

[Konnick]

The Su-34 is a Russian multifunctional fighter-bomber capable of carrying up to eight tons of ammunition, the aircraft is actively used as part of the SVO in Ukraine.

Actively ... well, stop talking already

[Zaurbek]

As they say, and patted them decently.

[KCA]

It looks like the new Kronstadt plant, and we won’t be bored in Dubna, it’s interesting that the former general director of Kronstadt was appointed general director of the Raduga MKB, the cooperation of these two offices can roll out something very interesting

[AlOrg]

But wasn't he fired for the failure of the release of orions? In this case, he can excel in the Rainbow

[cash]

pacer - garbage, unfortunately, it is not clear why they are still pulling it, here it would be necessary to disassemble the Iranian martyrs and rivet our own in their image, maybe we will finally start making engines ourselves

[KCA]

What is garbage and what are its characteristics inferior to Iranian what? What engines are on the Pacer and Orion? Rotex has not been supplied for a long time, but UAVs are shipped, do you know what kind of engines? So show off your knowledge

[kapitan92]

Quote: KCA

What engines are on the Pacer and Orion?

Actually it is one and the same!
Not so long ago, the Russian Aerospace Forces entered service with unmanned aircraft complex "Inohodets" with an aircraft for reconnaissance and strike purposes.

Product "Orion" / "Pacer" is the first domestic medium-altitude and long-duration UAV (MALE) that has passed all the tests and has been put into service.

March 2022

[KCA]

So yes, it’s just “Orion” a common name, including the civilian version, and “Pacer” is an option for the VKS, an application for certification for flights was submitted to Orion, I don’t know if they received it

[ramzay21]

The pacer, judging by the words of people who know him, is a very good strike UAV, but due to sabotage and pests in our Ministry of Defense and the military-industrial complex, it is still not in adequate quantities in the troops, and this is a problem.
In addition, our Defense Ministry, having studied the best foreign experience, should have formulated a requirement for attack UAVs and included in them control over satellite channels and created an appropriate orbital constellation. Then the strike UAV will be able not to fly within a radius of 200 km around the control station, but to fly thousands of kilometers from the take-off point and be controlled from a bunker in the Moscow region and without any control stations near the line of contact.

[KCA]

Yes, what sabotage, the plant has just started working, and before that there were only one-time samples, pilot production

[ramzay21]

We had models of shock UAVs long before the appearance of the first Bayraktar, there was money, there were productions, and the fact that these shock UAVs are not in the amount of at least a thousand in a country that 40 years ago had hundreds of Tu-143 UAVs is sabotage and sabotage.

[KCA]

TU-143 was never a strike, only reconnaissance

[ramzay21]

We had UAVs 40 years ago, and such advanced countries in the production of strike UAVs as Turkey and Iran did not even have UAV projects, this is sabotage and sabotage. Or do you consider it an achievement that Iran, being under sanctions for 45 years, did something that we could not?

[ultra]

There were models, there were no production capacities.

[ramzay21]

Come on! And where was the Tu-143 UAV produced in the 80s? We had aircraft factories without orders for 30 years, with teams of engineers and workers, it was possible to arrange production at any of them. Or is 20 years not long enough?

[ultra]

What is the point of comparing the industrial RSFSR and the industrially degraded Russian Federation?

[TatarinSSSR]

By the time these aircraft enter the Aerospace Forces, it will already be over and the SVO will end. I hope we win. And then the Special Investigative Operation will begin, which will impartially assess the actions in the NWO of all commanders who took part in planning and conducting the NWO,
especially such individuals as the director of the Foreign Intelligence Service,
commanders of the GRU GSh MO, early. headquarters of the Ministry of Defense, the commander of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation, the commander of air defense, etc. And as a result of a legitimate investigation, we will see the flown shoulder straps and even the deadlines for all those miscalculations and mistakes that were made, the cost of which was the lives of our military and civilians.

[Vyacheslav Ermolaev]

What a formidable and competent comrade you are. It is immediately felt that more than one special operation was carried out. I dare to ask which academy you graduated from and what title do you have?

[TatarinSSSR]

In short, none of your business.

[AlOrg]

If the CBO ends with our victory, then no impartial assessments will be made. Winners are not judged. But if not, then the heads of not only those who are listed by you will fly

[Zaurbek]

The NWO itself was badly battered and will still be battered by the resource and the number of what is now ...... And in a year, the plant made 15-17 pieces.

[spirit]

How does Hephaestus feel in real battles, taking into account air defense countermeasures? What is the effectiveness? Or was the Americans' bet on JDAM still correct?

[Zaurbek]

Yes and no here ....... For some objects it’s true ... for breaking out concrete catacombs somewhere in Avdeevka - I don’t know. But the fact that a gross bomb from Glonas is needed is not discussed. Like the 152mm gross projectile, as well as the 300mm gross projectile for the MLRS.

[Hey]

Most likely save again. My guess is that they ordered a little more than those lost during the NWO.

[Zaurbek]

If you look soberly, you need to replace it with the Su30SM2 + hanging container ... and do it in parallel at two factories.

[hell machine]

The army signed a contract for a light reconnaissance quadcopter in the amount of 1000 pieces, the first batch is already at the front.
Let it be Chinese cheap stuff ... but let each platoon have such
THIS IS HOW it should be, and not contracts - which will be executed in 2026, or even later

[iouris]

Does the Antimonopoly Service object? And the firemen?

[jasorgho]

It would be better, of course, to use the Su-30cm as much function as the Su-34.

on the su-30, add either a hanging container or special devices and software so that you can bomb and - that's it!
and so there are a lot of different aircraft in the troops, and those that can only bomb and don’t really know how to fight in the air.
if it were my will, I would leave in the fighter air force only:
* yak-131 - training and bombing where air defense is weak
* su-25x - bomb where air defense is weak (unify with the Yak-131 in terms of engines, avionics and weapons)
* mig-35 (29KUB) in the fleet
* unify the su-27 \ 30 according to the engine and radar and other avionics - the main fighter of the ZPV and to beat the enemy into the stone age
* su-35 (software upgrade with su-57) - advanced ZPV fighter

[Zaurbek]

Su30SM2 (up to the level of Su35S) + hanging container ...... and further with modernization with avionics from Su57.
And with such a Su30SM2, you can immediately change all Su30-34-35 .... before mass production of a new generation.

[Maxim G]

Why is this plane needed?
Everyone refuses this type of aircraft, we build...

[iouris]

We have no other planes for you.

[Maxim G]

Upgrading the Su-30, Su-35, MiG-29 in a similar direction to the F-15, F / A-18 is not a super task.

How much does the miracle cabin of the Su-34 cost and why is it needed at all?
And could not this money be spent on modern avionics for dryers and instants.

[Ratmir_Ryazan]

Everyone refuses this type of aircraft, we build...

Who are these people and what are they giving up?

The United States has 200 F-15S in a single-seat version for gaining air supremacy and F-15E in a two-seat version of a bomber fighter, a direct analogue of the Su-34.

[Maxim G]

It is not an analogue of the Su-34.

And the most modern F-15EX has a crew of one person, and is a multifunctional fighter, and not an unknown small animal either a fighter-bomber or a front-line bomber (in fact, the Su-34 replaced the Su-24).

[Ratmir_Ryazan]

And how is the F-15E different from the Su-34?

These aircraft are made on the basis of fighters, but in order to bomb and use high-precision weapons, a second crew member was added for this, and, unlike the Su-24, they can also use air-to-air missiles.

[Maxim G]

Is the F-15E currently in production?

[Ratmir_Ryazan]

Is the F-15E currently in production?

A new version of the F-15EX is being produced as an addition to the hundreds of new-generation F-35 fighter-bombers built.

We do not have so many 5th generation fighter-bombers and 4th generation bombers, except for the Su-34 3, we do not have, the Su-30 is used as a fighter.

That is why we are building Su-34s, trying to make them better.

[Maxim G]

The F-15EX has 1 pilot, and even more so there is no armored cabin, with a kitchen, a toilet and the ability to stand up.

[Ratmir_Ryazan]

The F-15EX has 1 pilot, and even more so there is no armored cabin, with a kitchen, a toilet and the ability to stand up.

This is still being built to replace the F-15S / D, and then it is possible that the F-15E will be updated.

Yes, he also has enough minuses, no kitchen or toilet, but he can take 11 ammunition on board)).

[Maxim G]

The F-15EX is a new modification of the F-15E, with an empty co-pilot seat. Aircraft of new construction.

The F-15Es in service are constantly being upgraded.

Nobody in the world has such a cabin, but we are not looking for easy ways.

Therefore, we will have both a fighter-based aircraft, with a kitchen and a toilet, and a new generation of stealth fighter with internal compartments, like in the United States and China (losing stealth, it is worth hanging weapons or a fuel tank on an external suspension).

[Ratmir_Ryazan]

There is no toilet and no kitchen on the Su-34, there are just two small tanks where you can just piss and that's it, while the F-15 pilot can only piss in his pants during a long flight.

At the same time, in the United States, despite hundreds of F-35s in the army, they continue to buy F-15s of new modifications and are not going to refuse F-18s.

Fuel tanks and weapons are not always hung on an external sling, but when it is necessary and safe in order to increase the range and combat load.

[Maxim G]

They fly with packets.

[AlOrg]

Well, how is the BE f-35 also not a pure fighter, but partly performs the functions of a bomber, though with guided weapons

[TatarinSSSR]

I agree with you. The Su-34 and the cockpit for it were designed as a strike aircraft for many hours of flights with in-flight refueling, for strikes at 800-1000 km in depth. For this, and a cabin with amenities. But in the end, it is used as a conventional air-type launcher - it took off, after 7-10 minutes already at the launch line, launched one or two missiles with a launch range of up to 200 km. and back to the base, 20-30 min flight. And all this cabin with novorotami is not needed.

[Ratmir_Ryazan]

Actual AK fire is 500 meters, but is it worth regretting that you have it if right now you have to hit targets at a range of 100-00 meters?

When the Su-34 operates on land, a range of 1000 km may not always be relevant, especially if the territory of the conflict zone is much smaller, completely different, for example, in a full-scale confrontation with NATO, when you need to work on naval targets.

There will still be a lot of conflicts, and no one can guess where and who will have to be bombed.

The pilots themselves praise the Su-34, including for the protected and comfortable cockpit and for the ability to hit ground targets. In my opinion, this is the most important thing, to build these planes more and make them even better.

[Maxim G]

The question here is why an aircraft with an armored cabin is needed, if you poke your head under MANPADS and mobile modern air defense systems - suicide, even with it, even without it, you need to drop bombs and launch missiles outside their coverage area.
Therefore, they abandoned both front-line bombers and attack aircraft in the countries of the West.

[Ratmir_Ryazan]

A number of contracts have also been signed for the supply of drones to the troops. We are talking about UAVs Orlan, Pacer and Eleron. This is confirmed by the Ministry of Defense. In particular, the military should receive drones "Orlan-10", "Orlan-30", strike and reconnaissance "Pacer", as well as UAV "Eleron-3".

And for this, it was necessary to wait for the start of the Army-2022 forum? Previously, it was not clear at all that UAVs were URGENTLY needed?

[Oorfene Juice and his wooden soldiers]

Parity Su-34 is how much? 12 pcs?

[Sedoy]

road spoon for dinner...

[FRoman1984]

The plane needs modernization. Not the one offered for the Sych project (Su-34M). It is necessary to reduce the empty weight, install more powerful engines (at least the same AL-41F-1S), thereby increasing the maximum combat load and maximum takeoff weight, and desperately install a new radar. None of this is offered. Good plane.

[Alexey-74]

Very good news!!! It is necessary to increase the Su-34M fleet, and of course the issue of UAVs is very relevant.

And the plane also needs a marine version for MRA with an Onyx suspension and an AWACS aircraft based on it, but not Sych, but with a deployable side-scan antenna.

[Vasilyevich Pensioner]

Real combat operations, and not the fight against ISIS, will make it clear what the troops need and what is missing. And about identifying the weaknesses of the existing one - this is even more important.
