Russian contract to boost Su-34 production

 

Sukhoi has announced a five-year contract with the Russian Air Force for production of its Su-34 strike aircraft.

 

Production is currently at a low rate at the V P Chkalov Novosibirsk Aviation Production Association (NAPO): one of the manufacturing units within the Sukhoi Holding Company. Two Su-34s were produced in 2006, another two aircraft in 2007 and a fifth in 2008. The aircraft that have been produced are currently undergoing operational testing that includes the clearing of a full spectrum of weaponry.

 

Analysts from the Moscow-based Centre for Analysis of Strategies and Technologies (CAST) regard the introduction of the Su-34 as "the beginning of a realisation of the technical upgrading of the air forces". Sukhoi representatives describe the aircraft in its current configuration as a "4+ generation aircraft that has a complement of onboard computers that provide for a state-of-the-art flight control system and the delivery of precision-guided weapons. Its full-authority engine controls and the option(s) of extending range with additional external fuel tanks or air-to-air refuelling put it in the class of a medium-weight strategic bomber."

 

Saludos!!
