Question that has being bugging me for while. Why is Russia buy Su-35 AND Su-30SM at the same time? :confused: The Su-35 should be able to do everything the Su-30SM can plus more. Is it cost? Time needed to produce? :confused::confused:

Su-30SM main role will be ground attack , they will slowly replace some of the Su-24s alongside more dedicated Su-34 . Of course , Su-35 could do everything Su-30SM does and more , but they also cost more and for now they will be relegated mainly to air-defense . Also , Su-30 production lines need to be open for few my years (they may get more customers in the future , excluding India and their Super MKI ) and a good way to ensure that is some domestic orders .

Su-35S have a best radar than SU-30SM.
SU-30SM is Russian variant of SU-30MKI.

And why is Russia buy Su-30M2 then buy SU-30 SM ? what differences between them ?
M2 have no canards he seems.

Would like to see more pictures from MAKS 2013 if anyone has good sources. There's a lot going on over there, but everything's kinda getting over shadowed by the Syria crisis.

Forbes said:
Russia’s next generation bomber, the PAK-DA, will be loaded with the latest in hypersonic weaponry, the Defense Ministry told Ria Novosti newswire on Friday.

The PAK-DA is Russia’s answer to the newest stealth bombers being built in the United States by Boeing and Lockheed Martin . Equipping them with hypersonic weaponry just puts Russia on par with air defense technologies already being tested in the U.S.

Russian owned United Aircraft Corporation is building the PAK-DA, which stands for Perspective Aviation Complex for Long Range Aviation.

“PAK-DA will be equipped with all advanced types of precision guided weapons, including hypersonic,” the source told the newswire, adding that the bomber itself will be subsonic. Last week, Boris Obnosov, general director of the Tactical Missile Systems Corporation, revealed that Russia has developed a hypersonic missile. It’s fast, but doesn’t travel very far. Obnosov said it can only make seconds-long flights and is nowhere near combat ready.
