MOSCOW, August 21 (RIA Novosti) – Russia will deliver another batch of 12 Sukhoi Su-30MK2 fighter aircraft under a recent contract worth about $450 million, a defense industry source told RIA Novosti on Wednesday.
The contract was reportedly signed last week, and the Su-30s are expected to be delivered to Vietnam in 2014-2015.

“A similar modification, priced at $35-37 million per plane, had been earlier sold to China,” the source said. Russia has delivered a total of 20 Su-30 fighter jets under two previous contracts signed in 2009 and 2010.

Su-30MK2 is an advanced two-seat version of the Su-27 Flanker multirole fighter with upgraded electronics and capability to launch anti-ship missiles. Combat aircraft remain the core of the Russian arms exports. Sukhoi Su-27/30 Flanker and Mikoyan MiG-29 Fulcrum fighter jets, Mil Mi-24/35 helicopter gunships, Mi-17 combat transport helicopters and Kamov Ka-28/31 naval helicopters are among the best-selling items in the aviation segment of arms exports.

nice news. Russia media speculates Vietnam can buy additional 18 SU-30K from Belarus. But what about other projects such as subs and destroyers?

Isn't that an Su-30MKI, by the looks of the canards?

Su 30 MKI varies in avionics and other subsystems.

The aircraft is tailor-made for Indian specifications and integrates Indian systems and avionics as well as French and Israeli subsystems.[11] It has abilities similar to the Sukhoi Su-35 with which it shares many features and components

Good news for the Vietnamese Air Force .

Su30 is a very capable aircraft .

canards? With its improved avionics, the MK2 is designed as a maritime strike aircraft. You will see them more in the SC Sea.

There are many flanker versions which employ canards .

Su35 , Su37 and different variants based on MKI ( for Malayasia , Russia , Algeria ,etc ) have canards .

The one on the picture is not a MKI . IAF does not use such a camo .

The camo looks like a Russian one .

2 SIGMA ships for $670 million USD is a much better deal than the 4 Gepards for $600 million USD. With the 2nd SIGMA built in Viet Nam, we will acquire modern warship building technologies. Being able to build the ship structure is very important because we can speed up the time to complete the project unlike the Gepard project which the Russian drag out for 5 years and we could not do anything about it.

nice warship from the Dutch indeed. Do we get any discount?
