The total number of Su-30 ordered from Irkut has reached 406 units.

After the signing of the next contract with the Russian Navy for the supply of X-NUMX fighter jets Su-5CM, the total number of orders for the Su-7 MKI / MKI (A) / MKM / SM family produced by Irkut Corporation reached 30 units. This is reported by the blog. bmpd.

Su-30MKI (A) fighters of the Algerian Air Force.

According to the blog, "customers and operators of these machines are currently the Air Forces of India, Algeria, the Air Forces and the Russian Navy, and the Royal Malaysian Air Forces."

As for India, it concluded its first contract for the purchase of 32-x Su-30MKI and 8 Su-30K in November 1996. In 1998, the Indians bought another 10 Su-30K.

At the end of 2000, India organized a licensed issue of Su-30MKI in accordance with the agreement. Total was built 140 aircraft.

In 2007 and 2011 The Indian Air Force ordered the 40 and 42 Su-30MKI aircraft, respectively. Thus, her total order amounted to 272 machines. In 2007, India returned all Su-30K (18 units) previously delivered to it and received Su-30KI instead.

Algeria bought Su-30MKI (A) twice: in 2006 - 28 and in 2010 - 16 machines. That is all - 44 units.

Malaysia has signed a contract for the purchase of Su-30MKM only once: in 2003 on the 18 aircraft.

Starting from 2012, the Russian Ministry of Defense signed a contract with Irkut for the supply of a total of 72-x Su-30CM (for the BBC - 60 and for the Navy - 12 units).

Summing up, the authors of the article write: “Thus, to date, the number of orders received from 1996 for fighters of the Su-30MKI family has been: India - 272 units (67%), Ministry of Defense - 72 units (17,7%), Algeria - 44 (10,8%) and Malaysia - 18 (4,4%), that is, the total 406 machines. ”

Yes, and at MAX too ...

[molot1ok]

And they looked great on the "Open Sky"

[Giant thought]

The percentage of aircraft for the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation must be raised, if possible, fulfilling only orders for our Air Force.

[molot1ok]

Everything will be but not immediately.

[alexng]

For this year, Su-30СМ will have 60 pieces, and for 14 year, there will also be 60 pieces and so on.
Someone will tell you how much is planned for the 14-th Su-35?

[alexng]

And who is minus. Data from Irkut. Plus on 60 pieces per year Yak-130's, i.e. for 5 pieces per month for the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation Su-30СМ and for 5 pieces Yak-130. Who has the brains on the back?

[Sergei1982]

If I am not mistaken, the total number of orders for the Navy will be from 50-60 Su-30cm, at least there are such plans.

[alexng]

My son works there and works on CM 5 pieces a month, and next year they plan to take MC-21 (Yak-242) into the air. Plus, the load before the end of the year was given to the Yak-152.

[jaguar]

All of this is certainly fine, but India - 272 units (67%) of the RF Ministry of Defense - 72 units (17,7%) somehow bothered.

[severniy]

and we have remotes from their aircraft, with the function of self-destruction ...

[igor1981]

India is not our enemy, you can earn money on it and invest in new developments (well, in addition to issuing salaries and taxes to the treasury).

[Dreamcatcher]

What does it mean? India returned all previously delivered Su-30Ks (18 units) and instead received Su-30MKI. What shall we do with them? They are used, I understand correctly?

[kostella85]

Su 30K were leased, it was normal practice: both the Indians had planes, and ours had money for rent + orders. And these "second-hand", someone else will be prompted. This is how you need to work in the market - putting the buyer on your products !!! Well done !!!

[Semen Semyonitch]

Quote: igor1981

... oh?

[Juborg]

And what bothered that? As always, for their own or no capacity or no orders. We will continue to fly and fall into junk, like the recent MiG-31 and the Mi-8 branch.

[vtnsk]

There are "capacities" and "orders". Only sometimes there are no brains to understand what AVSuvorov said: one must fight not by "numbers", but by "skill." Therefore, Russia needs as many fighters (SU-30) as is necessary for the RF Air Force to perform its direct functions, and not a single aircraft more. Everything else can be exported ...
PS There were thousands of military aircraft in the USSR Air Force, and where is this country now?

[nfoma80]

What are you talking about? I don’t understand something and other thinking people did not understand, that is, you offer very skilled pilots (we always win not by numbers, but by ability) to fight on the best fighter of the second world Yak-3? The USSR Air Force had the best pilots in the world and it’s not their fault where the country is now. Do not shit nonsense.

I agree!
Our will not be enough! SMALL !!!!

[Sergeqr]

Like indians
Most likely the glider (layout, metal) flies better than others in their latitudes. That is, closer to the equator, not north. That's all.
It's okay - they will not fly to us, there are enough of them. Only if as migratory birds to their homeland (there is a mention of 18 pieces )

Well, in the light of the BRICS .. - even very good.
You look, and others will sit on ours))).

Sushi and Migari. Very beautiful video .

I do not know about you ..., but in our army they were called "phantomas" (from the MiG-25 and above). From the word "phantom", such as "ghost" ... because the first, after all, two-keel the Americans launched the scheme into the air on a supersonic ... We need to delve into the history of military aircraft ...

Well, the Su-24 .. - almost one on one with the F-111. The truth is, those phantoms have long been discontinued and flew a little. Ours did better with a change in the sweep of the wing.

But they stole from us a lineup of Tu-144 ..., on the "Concorde" .. - then the opposite picture turned out ...

But still
Tu - 160 native "bro" Tu-144) And flies!
With the union, I saw a landing of a pair of Tu-160 prototypes. Impressed ... )))

[Russian1974]

For almost 5 years now, 20 drones have been running the show that ours are not fools either! I love a fighter with people this is the XNUMXth century, so Russia has something hidden and it's a goss mystery to love !!!!!!!!!!!

There was not a very intelligible video with the flight of "this rook" But for a long time nothing has been heard about him. Let's hope we'll hear more.
By the way, I remembered. There was also a video with the export of the militia not very badly mutilated Crocodile. Maybe they’ll still fix it, there are lots of spare parts lying around in the fields.

[fox21h]

Yes, for myself there is so little, but on the other hand, thanks to these deliveries (to India), we still have combat aviation (more precisely, its ability to produce), namely the people who make it - workers, engineers, designers (the words are more relevant than ever - Personnel decide everything).

[vtnsk]

There is no "too much, little" military equipment, there is only the concept of "enough - not enough" ...

[nfoma80]

There is a concept: there is money, there is no money!

[Wiruz]

Su-35S is time to order. And for yourself and for export. And soon the T-50 is on its way. Who knows what they call him NATO?

[BOB044]

Probably they will call him the destroyer of gavnyuk.

[Saburo]

Officially, not at all, because after the collapse of the USSR, NATO no longer assigned codenames to our equipment. For example "Borey" has no official codename. True, this is largely due to the fact that no completely new technology was created during this time, the same Su-35 received the designation Flanker-E even when it was at the prototype stage and was called the Su-27M.

[portoc65]

We would also like to have more than thirty dryers .. although it seems to me that we have more fighters with fighters ... we need attack aircraft ... in short, everything that flies and shoots needs a lot ....

[Dimsanych]

And so, it turns out that since 1996 our company has been working for the Indians by 67% ... And for us it’s gulkin’s nose of such machines. We don’t need them, or a bad car ?!
It’s clear that we are earning, but what for ourselves?

[78bor1973]

It’s just that our Su-35, MiG-29, Yak-130, Su-34, etc. are also delivered to our Air Force. so it’s not so little, we omit about helicopters ...

[tomket]

Quote: 78bor1973

our Air Force also ships Su-35, MiG-29, Yak-130, Su-34, etc.

More or less in an acceptable amount while the Su-34 delivered. The rest I would call, in quantity for trial operation. So to speak, in order to identify defects and defects in the design.

[Ustin]

Oddly enough, exactly at the same time, the Indians began to work for us, and then Algeria and Malaysia were the result of this activity of the Su 30CM.

[Vitaly Anisimov]

Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation - 72 units (17,7%

I hope our cooler .. (export version) And most importantly, the money received will go to the development of our aviation industry ..!

[Wiruz]

I hope our cooler .. (export version)

Once it was the other way around ???

[Mooh]

Anything has happened. And the t-90 was not a good story with the MI-35. Yes, and Poghosyan seemed to be noted.

[Roman 1977]

And if you count another branch of the Su-30 family - M2, MK2, MKV, MKK -, Venezuela, China, Vietnam, Indonesia, Uganda, you get:
PRC - 76 MKK, 24 MK2

Venezuela - 24 MKV

Vietnam - something around 24 MK2

Indonesia - a dozen

Uganda - 6 MK2

Russia - 20 M2

Total ~ 200 pieces.
Those. it turns out that now the branch is Su-27 / 35. the most popular and manufactured aircraft in the world. Of course, I would like more planes to our Air Force, and there are big problems, especially with the lack of attack aircraft: we wrote off the unworn MiG-27 and Su-17 (of which there were very few in Chechnya, especially the MiG-27K and Su-17M4), so I had to drive the Su-25. The MiG-29, Su-24 and Su-27 of the earlier series are very worn out and debited, the ship Su-33 are also on the verge of decommissioning (it is not for nothing that they scurry about with the MiG-29K). It is not for nothing that they want to build a new IL-76 modification, they have nowhere to remotorize, and many have run out of resources on the glider. Machines with a decent remaining resource are capitalized by diagnosing a glider, partially changing avionics and other stuffing, but many devices must already be disposed of.

[Wiruz]

Those. it turns out that now the branch is Su-27/35. the most popular and manufactured aircraft in the world.

F-16 neighs what urine is (not patriotic, but true)

Quote: Wiruz

F-16 neighs what urine is (not patriotic, but true)

Guilty, guilty, wrong, got excited. Counted and wept
So Su-27/35 released: 809 Su-27 of various modifications + 272 Shenyang J-11 (Chinese unlicensed copy, ordered another 70) + 200 Su-30M2 / MK2 / MKV / MKK + 406 MKI / MKI (A) / MKM / SM + 35 Su-33 + 8 Shenyang J-15 (deck version for Liaoning) + 53 Su-34 + 24 Su-35 = 1807 vehicles.
And General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon produced more than 4540 cars, 2,5 times more.

[Sultan Babai]

I think it is necessary to compare with f-15

[sivuch]

But haven't the production of the F-16 been completed?

[Wiruz]

I'm waiting for the PAK FA to be serially assembled at the same factory

[alexng]

And what are they going to do in Irkutsk? In my opinion, the T-50 is going to Komsomolsk-on-Amur.

[Akvadra]

Faster! Higher ! Stronger! I want to add to this Olympic motto: More! Newer!

[Russ69]

Last year, when signing the contract for the first 5 aircraft for the Navy, it was said that the Navy plans to purchase several dozen. Now I don’t remember exactly, but like the numbers were called, in the region of 40-60 pieces ...

[jekasimf]

Damn.And I was seduced. I thought everything for the Russian army. Yeah. As well. Rolled up his lip.

[Serbor]

Yes, dear users forgive my ignorance, but someone can explain briefly and clearly what the abbreviations after the name of the aircraft mean. SU-30 K, MK, MKI, MKV, MKK, MK2. You can go crazy! How do they differ and do these differences have any significance for the performance characteristics of the aircraft? And which one is better. Or please give me a link to the resource.

[tomket]

I suspect that K is a commercial, m-Malaysian well, etc.

[vtnsk]

Usually "K" means - "ship" (for aircraft carriers), but perhaps it means something else ...

[Saburo]

I suspect that K is a commercial, m-Malaysian well, etc.

Exactly. For example, MKV is: Modernized, Commercial, Vietnamese.
The difference usually lies in the on-board equipment, many do not like our filling, so very often they put a foreign one, for example French or Israeli.

[vtnsk]

Basically - the importing country, since for each customer, on the basis of the basic version of the aircraft, a batch is manufactured that is designed specifically for certain operating conditions, which can vary greatly from country to country ...

I think that I won’t discover America: to ensure flights we need the appropriate infrastructure, routine maintenance, pre-flight training ...
Who will conduct meteorological surveys, assess the state of kerosene? Are there any related services?
There are many nuances, so I am not surprised that the rook, even in good working condition, is chained to the ground.

[arane]

But interesting! Temka for discussion!
No one doubts the importance of aviation in a war, but there are not many countries that have the opportunity to purchase and operate modern combat aircraft because of their high cost and the complexity of equipment, requiring highly qualified pilots and ground services! A network of relevant aerodromes, etc. is needed.

Now suppose that the good old IL-2 and Yak-3 appeared in the army of New Russia! their cost is not comparable with modern aircraft! After all, this could become a serious head for dill! airfield glade, helicopter shot down much easier due to the high maneuverability of the aircraft! machine gun and cannon weapons and bomb load, these aircraft carry enough!

Do you have pilots? what opinion?

[tomket]

Quote: arane

the good old il-2 and yak-3 appeared

If the appearance of IL 2 can still be justified somehow, or say in 2, then yak-3 what should I do? SHVAKom fear on nats.gadov catch up? Any such technique will suffer heavy losses from small arms.

[kostella85]

I am a delivant, but the opinion is this: if more or less modern attack aircraft are shot down by militias, then APU ILy will love to see the seeds like IMHO.

[arane]

Yes, I am also a delibitor in this matter, just trying to reason! maybe like seeds or maybe not! will anyone answer how the MANPADS rocket behaves when actively maneuvering a small high-speed target (and lightweight) at low altitudes (5-15) meters in urban conditions, in wooded areas, etc.?

[kostella85]

Well, on top of maneuverability, I do not know, it's still not the Yak 52, almost 5 tons, the same Yak has a little more than a ton. Yes, plus the guns are different there, rockets, equipment, .... The engines need some kind of modern ... Yes, and the speed there was about 400 ... In my opinion, the old women won over, let them rest in museums ....

[arane]

there is someone who answered!
Well, modern submachine guns can be delivered! YAK-3 helicopters shoot down! SHVAK by the way, also a good machine! and big losses from small arms, but look at the statistics of the Second World War! No more than then! no, with modern means of air defense of near radius .....
Just justify why it’s harder to shoot down a helicopter compared to a yak! if the helicopter does not have air-to-air missiles, it will have no chance at all in an air duel!

[max702]

These rarities will be thrown by any means of air defense only on the road .. MANPADS will not leave the slightest chance, even ZSU2-23 will be removed with a bang .. Alas, this is a waste of resources, as it turned out in a modern war, slow and low-flying vehicles have no chance .. What do you think mattresses and Jews hammer everyone with high-precision weapons from far away? Everything is simple with different tactics, the losses will be serious, and although these ammunition is very expensive, they are still cheaper than carrier aircraft and, moreover, crew lives.

[kostella85]

By the way, who's in the subject: our Air Force's theme of the attack aircraft is closed? As far as I know, "Rooks" are in service until 2020, or is the role of an attack aircraft assigned to SU 34?

[arane]

I actually suggested to reason, not to write stamps! Pzrk yes, no questions! but an attack helicopter, and any one, with a MANPADS is easier to shoot down than a fighter from the time of the Second World War! Nevertheless, the presence of helicopters does not shock anyone! ЗУ23 ..... getting in will be quite difficult! speeds are still not small! optimal artillery anti-aircraft systems! not strong in land, but ak-Xnumx will spray such a plane instantly! but they don’t have such systems!

[observer.ru]

For a year now, various government officials have been saying that aviation should be developed, that more aircraft should be produced, but the capacity is not increasing. So, only in the language of "blah blah blah". By the way, today too ...

[vtnsk]

And what about "today"? So far, I see another "pro-salipolymers" ...

[faterdom]

It is necessary to bring to mind and purchase PACF T 50 for the Air Force. Our weapons should always be the last generation, otherwise they will have to be created during the war, if we have time.

If earlier (7 years ago) at IrkAZ people were toying with foolishness - they went to "have the evening" (to make all kinds of sledges, tents, barbecues, and other crap during the night shift), now they thresh there, in fact, in 3 shifts.
Most importantly - people who can make airplanes, and production facilities. It comes to mind - for sure it will be possible to rivet as much as necessary in the shortest possible time.

-India is not a very beneficial partner for Russia in all respects ... -It makes orders for military equipment from Russia quite substantial .., but the payment system for these orders is somewhat different than, for example, with the same France and other states ... - India pays off with them, listing the full amount specified in the agreement ...
- But with Russia, the whole "payment" looks completely different ... - India constantly pays off part of the debt by supplying its goods (for Russia, these goods are not, to put it mildly, "essential" goods) ..; in addition, there is a very general system of "netting" (where discounts are constantly made for India); in addition, India supplies electronic equipment for Russian military equipment, which Russia is able to produce itself by launching and mobilizing its own production of office equipment (probably of a much higher quality, and even with the ability to quickly modify all this "its" electronics "on the go" in if necessary) with the observance of the necessary "secrecy" ... -In addition, within the framework of maintaining the "necessary military cooperation", Russia is forced to establish joint ventures with India (which also has a very "dubious character") when Russia invests money, on the development (albeit indirectly) of a foreign state, instead of developing and fully utilizing exclusively its own production capacities ... Russian military supplies (which then simply leads to "writing off" the remaining debt) ...-And so on ... and so on ...
-And what is it that Russia remains in the "dry residue" of the Indian debt ..? - Sheer nonsense ...
-And such a "practice" has existed for decades ... -And how much has Russia gained "money" and "got rich" from such a very long and "fruitful cooperation" with India ..?
- Yes, one sheer loss ...
