Chkalov’s "(NAPO), finally, must transfer to the Russian Air Force a batch of five Su-34 front-line bombers in accordance with the plan of 2012. It is planned that on the same day this five planes will fly from Novosibirsk to the 7000th base air base at the Baltimore airfield (Voronezh).
The received aviation equipment will be part of the formed second squadron of the Su-34 air group at the Baltimore airfield. It is curious that, according to the Interfax news agency, "currently, specially equipped parking lots of aviation equipment have been prepared at the Voronezh aviation base, including special collapsible modules for storing new aircraft."
According to the plan, on account of the 2008 contract of the year for the production of 32 Su-34 aircraft, NAPO was to build 2012 machines for the Air Force in 10. However, in fact, December 25 will be handed over only the first five aircraft on account of the 2012 plan of the year, and the rest five will be transferred already in January of the 2013 year. Previously, under this contract, four Su-34 aircraft were built by NAPO and transferred to the Russian Air Force in the 2010 year, and six more - in the 2011 year.
