Venezuelan Air Force is considering the possibility of purchasing additional fighter "dry"

Venezuela is considering the possibility of purchasing a new batch of Sukhoi fighter jets in order to increase the combat capabilities of the country's Air Force.

According to Infodifensa, this was announced by Venezuelan Defense Minister Admiral Carmen Teresa Meléndez Rivas in an interview with the private television channel Venevision.

The Minister did not disclose the procurement scheme, which is under discussion, as well as the type of aircraft.

Currently, the Venezuelan Air Force is armed with 24 Su-30MK2В fighters, which are distributed in equal quantities in the 11 and 13 air groups.

In order to increase the number of aircraft in each squadron to 18 units, the Air Force command several years ago intended to acquire 12 additional Su-30MK2, but this purchase did not take place.

In July, 2012, Venezuela sent a request to the Russian Federation about the possibility of supplying Su-35 aircraft, but the status of this project is not known.

It should also be noted that in recent months, information appeared in the media about the negotiations being conducted by Venezuela with the French authorities on the possible purchase of 24 fighter jets "Rafale".

Comment TSAMTO

Given the current domestic political situation in Venezuela, the issue of such a large purchase can be considered only after its stabilization. President Nicolas Maduro must establish relations with the opposition in order to guarantee stability in the country during his presidency.

At the same time, it is quite obvious that the United States headed for the violent overthrow of the current government in Venezuela through another “color revolution”.

In case of opposition coming to power, the focus in the field of military-technical cooperation will be made primarily on the United States.

      Oh, I'm afraid soon this "democracy" will win there ... The situation there will be even worse than in Ukraine + explosive temperament and + huge US investments in protests and opposition. Well, plus a very low (almost complete literacy ...) general education level of most of the population. For which, too, many thanks to the same amers who ruled there for a long time. Maduro will not keep the situation in the country. Not Chavez. Well, except that with someone's help ...

    If the fighters order, it will be a strong move for them. And it is necessary to fight against opasia more hotly and eliminate this fifth column. And then they can ruin the whole country. drinks

    Selling our military equipment to friendly countries is not only a one-time payment -

    For their safety, they would have to host our military base, and by the nature of the Kosovo Amerovskoy. And then "Triumph" and "Pantsir" and "SU".
    And urgently.

        So can they amend their constitution, or can our lawyers work on the correct wording and justification on the basis of the existing one?

    Venezuela is full of voluntarism in the economy, and it doesn’t bring to good ... Maduro needs consultants on the development of private initiative and the production of consumer goods. We need cooperatives and cooperatives with the free sale of goods in markets and stores based on supply and demand. NEP. But the transition will not be easy.

    )) I won’t be surprised if they start talking about credit purchases again. And they buy from others for cash. Moreover, they pay with dollars, not bolivars.
