RUSSIA REPORTEDLY DELIVERING SU-30 FIGHTERS TO NIGERIA
The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) reportedly has 12 Sukhoi Su-30 multi-role fighters on order from Russia’s United Aircraft Corporation (UAC).
Speaking to , the Deputy Director for the Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation (FSMTC) Anatoliy Punchuk said, “In 2018, Russia will supply 10 Su-30 aircraft. Thus, the contract will be completed by the end of next year.”
As per Sputnik News, two of the Su-30s were delivered to Nigeria in 2017. The variant was not disclosed.
Notes & Comments:
federal budget for 2016 – i.e. the Appropriation Act for 2016 – allocated $15.88 million U.S. for the of three JF-17 Thunder multi-role fighters from Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC). While likely an installment, the earmarked $68.76 million for “platform acquisitions … for counter air, counter surface, air ops for strategic effect and air support operations.”
In light of the recent news about the Su-30, the NAF acquisition budget appears to involve several combat platform purchases – i.e. JF-17, Su-30, and potentially .
With the Su-30 and JF-17, the NAF would maintain a ‘high-and-low’ composition, respectively. The Su-30 would likely be counted upon to provide the ‘strategic effect’ aspect of the NAF’s requirements, such as long-range strikes and maritime operations. The JF-17 would fulfill air defence and attack operations in-land over Nigeria’s territories and border areas.

UAC AIMS TO BEGIN EXPORTING MIG-35 FIGHTERS BY 2020
United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) is aiming to produce MiG-35 Fulcrum-F multi-role fighters for export by 2020.
Speaking to media (via ) at the 2017 Paris Air Show, which concluded on Sunday June 25, Rosoboronexport CEO Alexander Mikheyev said that he expects UAC to complete the MiG-35’s qualification tests in 2018 or 2019, from which it will be “accepted as a product for exports.”
As per TASS, the Russian Air Force (VKS) will procure an initial batch of 30 MiG-35. The VKS aims to have the Fulcrum-F gradually replace its existing MiG-29 fleet.
MiG Aircraft Company’s Deputy CEO, Viktor Chernov, was confident of the MiG-35’s export potential, citing “South and Southeast Asia, Latin America and African countries” as prospective markets.
The MiG-35 is the latest variant of the venerable MiG-29 Fulcrum platform, which is both the mainstay of the VKS as well as a popular Russian export since the 1980s, especially in the developing world.
Besides incorporating key improvements in electronics, most notably the inclusion of the Zhuk-AE active electronically-scanned array (AESA) radar, the Fulcrum-F also benefits from greater composite usage. This provides the MiG-35 with a substantially lighter empty weight than the legacy Fulcrum, resulting a longer operational radius (50% as per TASS) and payload (6,000 kg as per ).
Notes & Comments:
UAC has angled its MiG-35 pitch for the developing world market, which is flush with both legacy MiG-29s as well as even older fighter models from Russia, China, Europe and the U.S.
When it formally launched the MiG-35, the MiG Aircraft Company’s Director General, Ilya Tarasenko, the MiG-35’s lower life-cycle (30-40%) and acquisition (20%) costs over its competition as key draws for the fighter, positioning it for traction in the market.
The MiG-35’s will rest in competitive cost and flexibility in terms of subsystem and weapons integration options. The VKS fulfilling its commitment to supplant its legacy MiG-29s with the Fulcrum-F will be critical in that it would generate outside confidence in the platform and greatly help scale the MiG-35’s development overhead.
Currently, UAC is fulfilling a 50 MiG-29M/M2 order for Egypt, which ordered the fighters in a reported $2 billion agreement in 2016. The first Egyptian Air Force fighter was in April 2017.
