No MiG-35s? No upgrades for the legacy Mig-29s (rumoured to a so called “SM2” standarad )?:(

are you willing to pay?

Under the SAP 2011-2020, the Air Force will procure up to 70 fifth-generation T-50 Fighters, 96 multirole Su-35S fighters, as many as 100 Su-34 frontline bombers, up to 20 An-124 heavy transports, 50-90 Il-476 transports, and as many as 120 Yak-130 advanced jet trainers. The Air Force will also order 900-1000 helicopters, which includes 250 Mi-28N attack helicopters, as many as 120 Ka-52A and Ka-52K attack helicopters, 22 Mi-35M attack helicopters, and as many as 200 air defense systems.

I thought 476 has a new wing? :confused:
Why would it take so long to finish the first one if its the same?

Wing of 476 (aka Il-76TD-90A/Il-76MD-90A) has the same shape BUT different construction based on IL-96 experience – less wing panels, lighter support elements, much more. But the main thing about 476 is switch to paperless design documentation. Myriad problems with last one, deficite with experienced staff are main delay factors.

you must ask a guestion if industry able to produce Su-35S in numbers even with sufficient funding. KnAAPO for example is busy all around with several programs

117A was a parallel development with 117S with higher performance but much lower resource on a way to 117. 117A mockup was publicily shown during MAKS 2001 airshow by Putin’s written order recieved via Chepkin’s request to him. Engine compressor face was hidden from view via canvas. Tests started on T-10M-10 (‘710’) in 2005 but soon were stopped due to vibration glitches.
