I would like to see any pic of the Bat Hawk light a/c in use by the Wildlife Service of Botswana…
Can you direct me to any link? I´ve tried many times in the net without success…. I got every time the very same pic of the manufacturer´s demonstrator bird…
Didn’t they receive the 25th due to the one they lost last year?
Well, It was announced after that loss and by some high rank authorities both sides, that Venezuela would get 13 new Sukhoi A/C, one was intended for filling the loss and 12 to increase the fleet in order to create a second Sukhoi squadron reorganized with 18 A/C each…. Actually, nothing about that has been signed yet…
And the poor economic situation of the country have of course influenced on this…
An event of some note, the last Su-30 has been made @ Knaaz, and production of the type has now ended. It is the last of the 12 Su-30MK2 ordered by Vietnam in 2013:

-6 pre-serials
-79 Su-30MKK (77 for China and 2 for Indonesia)
-101 Su-30MK2 ( 37 for Vietnam, 25 for China, 25 for Venezuela, 9 for Indonesia, and 6 for Uganda)
-20 Su-30M2 for the VVS
