MOSCOW - The Russian Defense Ministry has signed a $190 million contract with the Russian Tactical Missiles Corp. to equip 64 Sukhoi fighter jets with advanced air-launched weapons, Col. Gen. Alexander Zelin, the Russian Air Force commander, told reporters Aug. 21.

The contract is among the biggest Air Force deals in recent years, Zelin said in televised remarks from the MAKS-2009 air show outside Moscow.

Under the two-year contract, signed by Zelin and the general director of Tactical Missiles, Boris Obnosov, the company will deliver 14 types of weapons and install them on new or modernized Russian Air Force aircraft.

On Aug. 18, Deputy Defense Minister Vladimir Popovkin and the general director of Sukhoi Corp., Mikhail Pogosyan, signed a contract under which the Air Force will receive 45 Su-35S (NATO codename Flanker-E) multirole long-range fighters, 12 Su-27SM (NATO codename Flanker) fighters and four Su-30M2 (NATO codename Flanker-C) fighters for $2.5 billion through 2015.

Zelin said Aug. 18 that the Air Force plans to procure up to eight squadrons of MiG-31 (NATO codename Foxhound) interceptor aircraft. Each squadron includes 12 aircraft, he said.

That tin box with punchered tyres does not look anything like the craft in the vid.

its a concept model , not even a prototype

 

[kuku]

Still they should apply some concepts into a concept model, looks more like the work of out of budget art school students.

No way that thing is going to be a space craft.

MAKS 2009 winds down with warning for aircraft manufacturers
​

The MAKS 2009 air show closes this weekend after an unusually quiet event, dominated by domestic military orders. The government promised more cash for the industry, but there are strings with it.
The Russian air force struck the biggest deal at the show, with a record $2.5 billion order for new Sukhoi fighter jets. 64 aircraft will be delivered by 2015 under the largest ever order for new combat aircraft for the Russian air force.

The government also promised hundreds of millions of dollars in cash aid for combat aircraft makers Sukhoi and MiG, according to Director General, Mikhail Pogosyan.

“Nearly $500 million will be supplied to MiG to finance its suppliers, to guarantee its orders worth $4 billion."

But that funding came with a stern warning from the government for the new United Aircraft Corporation. Prime Minister Putin warned the industry it had to improve its performance, and stop signing loss making contracts.

The United Aircraft Corporation blames a backlog of debts from its legacy companies, but Deputy Industry Minister, Yuri Borisov, says there are other issues as well.

“The problem dates back to the 1990s. But its also due to inefficient management. So now state money goes to finance the companies liabilities, This debt should be restructured or it will be very difficult for the corporation to operate.”

On the civil aircraft scene, emerging airline, Rosavia, invited Airbus, Boeing and Irkut to tender for up to 65 narrow-body airliners for its future fleet. That deal could be worth up to $2.5 billion. And Russian Helicopters signed a memorandum with France's Turbomeca on supply of engines for its Mi-34 Sapsan light helicopter.

Fifth generation fighter image intrigues MAKS 2009
​

An image of the Russian fifth-generation jet fighter T-50 – now under development – has popped up at MAKS 2009 International Air Show as an ornament on lapel pins.

Until now nothing has been officially conveyed about the new jet fighter’s looks.

The image on the pins suggests that it is going to be a monoplane with widely spaced engines and two outward-canted fins, says Vedomosti daily, adding that it seems the jet fighter has been designed using stealth technology.

A source in the Sukhoi construction bureau has dismissed the label pins as “cheap Chinese fakes”, but another source in the Russian aviation industry says the images they carry have a strong resemblance to the T-50 jet fighter.

The fifth-generation jet fighter project was started in Russia in the 90s and is currently being developed by the Sukhoi construction bureau and the scientific development and production center “Saturn”.

It was earlier said that the T-50 flight tests could start as soon as November this year.

That has been confirmed at MAKS 2009 by the Chief Commander of the Russian Air Force, Aleksandr Zelin, who said that three T-50s are being assembled at a plant in Russia’s Far East.

Prime Minister Vladimir Putin who attended the MAKS 2009 Aviation & Space Salon on Tuesday said that the production of the fifth-generation jet fighter is one of the priorities of the Russian aircraft industry, and ordered the supply of necessary resources to assist the fighter’s development.
