Russia to Export 220 Fighter Jets by 2010


Between 2004 and 2010 Russia may export as many as 150 Su-30 multi-role fighter jets and 70 Mig-29 tactical fighter jets. This is a forecast made on Thursday, August 5, by the Center for Analysis of Strategies and Technologies (CAST).

Ruslan Pukhov, the Center’s director told Interfax news agency which countries the fighter jets will be delivered to. The Center forecasts that 24 Su-30 jet may be delivered to Vietnam, another 24 — to Indonesia, up to 48 jets may go to Chine, 10 — to India, 24 — to Brazil and up to 18 fighters — to one of the Persian Gulf countries.

“The delivery of multi-functional Mig-29 fighters will be mostly to poorer African and Middle Eastern countries,” said Pukhov, pointing out that “the dynamically growing markets of South and Southeast Asian countries are mostly controlled by the Sukhoi construction bureau”.

How much does each jet go for?

[limey_defence]

I don't know but if Vietnam are getting 24 Su-30s then they must be pretty cheap.

37 mln for Su and 25-30(depends on modification) for Mig.

Kremlin's selling already absolite(well,relatievly,anyway) aircraft,for wich the NATO has answers already.
Balamut,you're the accepted(even by me) expert on Russian armament here,what's the next things after Su-30 and Mig-29?Well,I do know,that Mig-31(or something,pardon my ignorance here) is already an old news.Wich would make Mig-29 .....well,a piese of junk by Russian standarts.
I'm really WELL behind on the latest military tech,especially Russian,could you be a pal and clear that out for me?

Balamut, I don't know the exact type of MiG-29, but I imagine its 29M.
