What About : 40, Su-35 BM for Stratageic Forces Command ( India ) ?

I'd rather have 6-7 B-2's for SFC.

You seriously think that US is going to sell the B-2.Besides they are very very costly to operate.

Well we can approach them and try our luck.

As far as cost is concerned, I'm only talking about a handful of them and it's not like they will be in active service.

They will be in the hangars most of the time and used only when needed.

They'll never sell it. Besides, countries capable of producing strategic bombers never export them. Not even to allies. And let alone the B-2.

Best option is to develop in-house as far as strategic bombers go.

They won't be selling F-22s in near future, asking for B-2s will be far fetched. What we can ask from them is B-1s. That sounds reasonable.

A long range stealth bomber like B-2 is a security threat even for the US, they will never sell it. Forget it.
 
"They will never sell it."

...well isn't that what we used to think of the nuke deal nearly a decade back?
 
Here's the toilet onboard Su-34.

That's a toilet on the Mir Space Station actually not the Su-34.From what I know the toilets is placed between the seats and is similar to the ones that toddlers use.Also it's not as spacious as you think it is.
 
SFC has to operate a plane that is maintained by IAF.

IAF has time and again said that they plan to reduce the diversity in their fleet.

Going for Su-34/35 is sheer madness. Just add the MMRCA numbers to account for 40 fighters for SFC.

Buying something is one thing, creating a credible support infrastructure is quite another.

But making infrastructure is good for technological capability
 

That is a original Su-35 or S-27M used by the Russian Knights not a deep modernisation Su-35BM/Su-35S that you are talking about here.The Su-27M/Su-35 was a prototype only.

There's a pilot in Su 34 using the Toilet.It's in between the 2 seats.
 
Su-35 has less radar cross section among these.

Then we should have it as both can used for ground attack

P.Q.: why Su-35 have least RCS while nose of su-34 is more shaped like a vlo aircraft
