      The main thing is that Venezuela "allocate" this money not from our own targeted loans.

        You look! Venezuela is still alive and even very alive, since it purchases as much as half a lard. There was a rumor that, with a drop in oil prices, it ordered a long life (in the economic sense).

      Mattresses imposed sanctions against Venezuela, banning the sale of spare parts for the F-16 to the country, and they quickly found a way out of the situation by selling American planes and purchasing ours)

    It is necessary to sell, of course, but do not forget about our army.

      The Irkutsk Aviation Plant, part of Irkut Corporation PJSC, transferred to the Russian Aerospace Forces the next pair of Su-30SM multifunctional two-seat super-maneuverable fighters. The aircraft are designed for the 31st fighter aviation regiment stationed at the Millerovo airfield (Rostov Region). Today, the fighters left the plant and went to the place of basing.
      Thus, the number of Su-30SM in the Russian Air Force has reached 39 pieces, another 8 Su-30SM are in service with the Naval Aviation of the Russian Navy.

      Su-35 is still hard to go in production and operation. All previously issued and transferred to the troops planes then returned to the plant for improvements: there are many problems. This aircraft will definitely not become massive in our Air Force, i.e. he will not replace the old Su-27 fleet. It will be produced in small series until 2020, until the T-50 stands on the “wing” in full growth.

    Something cheap, 40 million for the SU-30. They come at almost that price, or again the “friendship of the peoples” to their detriment. Moreover, something not so strong is our “strategic” partner who in some cases suits us .
