[Folder] Sukhoi Su-34, the Swiss army knife of the Russian army?

Little information is filtering on this future version; However, the following are known;
New shooting system Sh141M including radar V004M and computer K-030BM (we are not talking about a possible AESA radar at the moment)

Modernization of the K-102M Platan Targeting System

Modernization of on-board avionics

Increase in transport (from 8 to 9 tonnes)

The development of the Su-34M is a follow-up to the "Sych" project to increase the capacity of Su-34. A development contract was signed between Sukhoi and the Minister of Defense on December 29, 2012. This modernization is divided into sub-projects where the different elements are developed separately before an integration in a first prototype.

No date for the presentation of this variant is known, but it seems that the target of 2020 is envisaged for the presentation of the Su-34M. This would be fairly consistent with the fact that the current Su-34 order will expire in 2020.

It also seems that the Su-34 can be brought to the type Su-34M but no solid element can confirm this information so far.
