Former military pilot and Russian blogger Fighter Bomber on the new Algerian Sukhoi Su-34ME

📽"As everyone has noticed, the orange-colored Su-34E jets are equipped a bit more interestingly than the aircraft currently in service with the Russian Air Force. And we have a law that we cannot export weapons better than those we have ourselves.

How is this possible?
I think it’s very simple.

Alongside the production of the Su-34E, from now on all "decoy" Su-34 supplied to the Air Force will be equipped like the Su-34E.
In the last batch, I saw nothing new, but, on the other hand, there have not yet been deliveries to foreign customers.
There will be. "Soon, damn it."

Or, alternatively, they will build just one and transfer it to the Air Force.
And the matter closes automatically.

At whose expense? Hard to say. I think at the expense of UAC itself.

Will they modernize the entire Su-34 fleet?
I don’t think so. Nobody really needs it, because I quote:

-"Will it be able to carry a greater number of UMPK (Universal Intermodular Guidance and Correction Kits)?"
-"No."
-"All the best!
Best regards..."

But don’t be scared, we’ll make it!"
