I was doing some number crunching regarding combat aircraft upgrades and procurements for VVS until 2020 after reading various magazines, internet news and insight from knowledgeable persons. I didn’t even started touching transports and helicopters, though things are interesting in those departments too.
So, any corrections and updates from the more knowledgeable folks? Thank you.
