The
deal under which the warplanes are to be delivered by 2020 was signed
by Defense Minister Anatoly Serdyukov and Sukhoi General Director Igor
Ozar. This is one of the largest warplane contracts under the government arms procurement program and it will help replace all of the Su-24 bombers currently in service with the “4+ generation” aircraft, Serdyukov said. The Ministry will take delivery of 10 Su-34s in 2012,
all of them to be deployed in the Western Military District. Last year
six fighter-bombers were delivered to the Air Force. These come under
an initial contract for 32 Su-34s. |
