Be nice. They may yet have to bail out your government (nice grammar btw).
Engine placement & alignment vis-a-vis LEVCON and hence intake:
This picture shows the directon of the fan blades clearly.Their direction through the cockpit!In my opinion its impossible to see them from the front of the aircraft! Its obvious, air intakes and the engines looks different directions!
Testing of new options for the Su-34 will be completed in 2010
State testing of new modifications to the Su-34 will be completed before the end of 2010, ITAR-TASS quoted a source in the military-industrial complex. Testing of new options for the aircraft are held in the State flight test center in the Russian Air Force Ahtubinsk. As expected, some modifications may be allowed for mass production in 2011.
These are new types of missiles, air-to-air and air-to-surface missiles.Their trials will be completed in the fourth quarter of 2010.More details about the enlargement of the range of weapons Su-34 has not yet been disclosed. In addition, the already tested the upgraded high-turbojet bypass AL-31FM1. According to the results of tests the engine was allowed for mass production.
Another improvement bomber may become a gas turbine auxiliary power unit TA14-130-35, which will enable the launch engine Su-34 on the ground without the use of ground equipment.According to preliminary estimates, this plant will increase the autonomy of frontline bombers and expand the list of airports where they are based.As expected, all the Su-34, issued in 2011 will be equipped with an auxiliary power unit.
Su-34 in the long term should form the basis of frontline bombers.To date, the Russian Defense Ministry has ordered 32 Su-34, which produces the Novosibirsk Aviation Production Association named after Chkalov.From 2007 till 2009 the Russian Air Force had ordered four bombers.
Su-34 can reach speeds of up to 1,9 thousand kilometers per hour, and to fly a distance of four kilometers. The bomber is armed with 30-millimeter cannon and has 12 points of suspension of a hinged arms total weight of up to eight tons.

Russia and India for three months to sign a protocol on the project for the creation of fighter 5 th generation
June 2, AVIA.RU – Russia and India over the next three months to sign a protocol design documentation within the program to create a fighter 5-th generation, according to ARMS-TASS .
It is an important step in the implementation of this promising area of military-technical cooperation, the head of the Federal Service on Military Technical Cooperation, Mikhail Dmitriev, following the meeting on June 1 in India, Indo-Russian high-level monitoring committee in the PTS.
On the Russian side, according to him, at this stage of the project is ready. “The Indian side is still undergoing the necessary domestic procedures for the completion of which they will require from one to three months”, – said Dmitriev.
The creation of the fighter 5 th generation will deal with the Indian corporation Hindustan Aeronautics Limited and United Aircraft Corporation. According to Indian media, the drafting of both sides will spend a total of 8.10 billion. The joint project, according to experts, will surpass foreign analogues by the criterion of “cost-effective and will not only strengthen the defensive power of the Russian Air Force and India, but will take its rightful place on the world market.
It’s not meaningless, obviously hypothetical small scale conflict would involve air-forces, navy, with slightest chance of ground war. This is the place where we can discuss air forces vs air force or air force vs navy.
“Meaningless” is to strong word for someone who did not know that Israel is not NATO member.
Sorry Israel is a country which is supported almost today by its big NATO member brothers!
No matter these both countries are important for the middleeast balance and big brothers doesn’t wants war!
Turkey is a member of NATO, what is the NATO option if Israel launcheda a clear aggression against Turkey with conventional weapons / or Israel launched a nuclear strike against Turkey?
What will be the position of Iran and some Arab countries if Turkey attacked by Israel?.
After a nuclear attack of Israel what will be the position of the Turkish friendly Pakistan?
A meaningless thread, stated with the navies, than ground forces, latest airforce! A new TUAF-IAF airforce thread is more sensible at this forum for who wants to compare!
Its not possible a war between two nato members but if it is we can see such an WW3. In my opinion the war takes in more countries and nobody doesn’t want it.
Russia wins large contract to modernize Indian Su-30MKI fighters
India has placed orders with the Russian defense industry to modernize Su-30MKI Flanker-H fighters produced in India under the Russian license, India Today magazine reported in its June issue, without disclosing the sum of the contract.
The project codenamed Super 30 stipulates the installation of new radars, onboard computers, electronic warfare systems and BrahMos supersonic missiles on 40 Su-30MKI fighters, the magazine said.
The Indian Air Force currently operates about 100 Su-30MKI fighters and plans to produce another 170 aircraft in the next 10 years under the Russian license.
India has a long history of defense ties with Moscow. The current cooperation program comprises about 200 joint projects, including the transfer of technology for the licensed assembly of T-90 tanks in India, the production of BrahMos missiles and the purchase of Smerch MLRS by India.
The BrahMos missile has a range of 290 km (180 miles) and can carry a conventional warhead of up to 300 kg (660 lbs). It can effectively engage ground targets from an altitude as low as 10 meters (30 feet) and has a top speed of Mach 2.8, which is about three times faster than the U.S.-made subsonic Tomahawk cruise missile.
Established in 1998, BrahMos Aerospace, a joint Indian-Russian venture, produces and markets BrahMos supersonic missiles. The sea-based and land-based versions have been successfully tested and put into service with the Indian Army and Navy.
