fighters use in Syria -. This is the 6th contract for the Defense Ministry and the corporation “Irkut” – said “News” expert in the field of aviation Andrey Fomin. – In the Russian VKS arms for about 80 fighters of this class. In view of the new agreement Su-30cm will be the most massive fighter of the Russian army. The total number of cars will be 110 pieces.
How much cost procurement, the Ministry of Defence does not inform. However, knowing that the Su-30cm, adapted to the requirements of the Russian Ministry of Defense – the twin brother of the Indian Su-30MKI, created “Irkut” corporation to Delhi, you can draw parallels. According to Indian media reports, the next delivery of 40 Su-30MKI aircraft will cost India $ 3 billion. Our Ministry of Defence as the main domestic customer, probably a little cheaper.
Armed with India by 2018 will be at least 14 squadrons of these planes, a total of 272 pieces. The first contract for 30 Su-30cm to Russia was signed in March 2012. At the moment, these vehicles are in service with units of naval aviation, including the Black Sea Fleet

However, as the expert said, the choice of Su-30cm caused not. only the possibility of a quick delivery to the troops. According to their combat capabilities and flight characteristics of the aircraft considerably exceeds the Su-27 (on the basis of which it was created), recognized as one of the best multi-role fighter in the world.

With new board radar “Bars” pilot has the ability to not only use weapons in maneuvering flight at long range, but at the same time attacking one air and one ground target.
All of these characteristics have repeatedly confirmed in practice Indian pilots in international exercises. Thus, during the Indo-US exercise Cope India 2004 Su-30 had to confront the famous fighter F-15C. According to Indian and US media reports, the vast majority of mock fighting Indian pilots defeated the American pilots.
Later, Su-30MKI We won all the duels with the equally well-known US-made fighter F-16 Singapore Air Force. During the exercise Cope India 2005 Indian pilots on Su-30MKI fighters consolidated their victory over the F-16C aircraft, guided this time by American pilots. In July – August 2008, the Su-30MKI Indian Air Force, along with combat aircraft the US Air Force and France took part in the international exercise “Red Flag» (Red Flag), which military experts believe the most realistic “war games” tactical combat aircraft in world. And also emerged clear winner. In August 2015, the teachings of Indradanush ( «Rainbow») Su-30MKI your allies the British Eurofighter Typhoon.
The Russian Su-30cm in international exercises did not participate. For the first time they are involved in practice in the operation in Syria. The results of their work secret. However, judging by the interest in the car from both the Ministry of Defense of Russia and a number of military departments of foreign countries, they are impressive. Su-30cm bought Astana. And the Air Force of Kazakhstan in the near future are going to increase its fleet of Su-30cm fighters to at least 24. The same machine bought the Defense Ministry of Belarus. Today Minsk already has a squadron of Su-30cm of the 12 machines. The desire to buy this particular modification of the “dry” expressed Tehran.
