Se rumorea que Argelia y la India tambien estarian interesados en el Su35.
Por no mencionar los "anciliares"... por ejemplo, que en equipos EW los F-15 recientes sean ampliamente superiores, al punto que los clientes de Flanker pret-a-porter hayan optado invariablemente por productos Israelís (MKI) o Franceses (MKM, MKA) porque simplemente los Rusos no producen hoy en día nada equivalente.
También es cierto que los rusos se han negado a exportar sus sistemas Sorbtsiya-S, ofreciendo en cambio el Gardenya y derivados, que al decir de algunos usuarios deja bastante que desear.
Pero el Sorbtsiya está bastante generalizado en la FA rusa, creo que no solo equipa a los 48/60 Su 27 SM, si no a modelos más antiguos también.

Sí, pero no se trata de que tengan el equipo con ese nombre, si no la última versión del mismo. Que me consta que no, debido a la escasez presupuestaria rusa que aún supone tener la mayor parte de la VVS desfasada.
Sería un error creer que, porque se llame igual, el sistema Sorbtsiya de la gran mayoría de Flankers rusos sea un sistema actual.
Buenos dias Orel, como sabes tu cual version de el sorbtsiya poseen o no los SU rusos, me gustaria saber si sabes cual version vino con los su-30 de Venezuela, saludos
The Future of the Russian Air Force: 10 Years On
Commentary by RIA Novosti military commentator Ilya Kramnik

The Russian Defense Ministry plans to overhaul its air force fleet. According to various media reports, the Ministry wants to buy at least 1,500 aircraft, including 350 new warplanes, by 2020. The fleet would include 70 per cent new equipment at that point, said Air Force Commander-in-Chief Colonel General Alexander Zelin.
The state of the warplane fleet which forms the backbone of the Russian Air Force's combat potential remains a major military problem. Russian military aircraft are 25-plus years old, on the average. Consequently, the warplane fleet may shrink considerably in the next 10-15 years. What aircraft will the Air Force wield by 2020, and will the number of planes be enough for national defense needs?
The Defense Ministry has now signed contracts for the purchase of 32 Su-34 Fullback advanced fighter-bombers to be delivered by 2013, 48 Su-35 Flanker-E fighters by 2015, 12 Su-27SM Flanker-B Mod. 1 fighters by 2011, 4 Su-30M2 Flanker-C planes by 2011 and 12 Su-25UBM Frogfoot combat trainers.
This year, the Defense Ministry intends to sign a contract for the delivery of 26 MiG-29K Fulcrum-D fighters by 2015. Additional contracts for the delivery of at least 80 Su-34s and 24-48 Su-35s are expected to be signed. In all, the Russian Air Force is to receive 240-260 new aircraft of these types.
It is hard to say much about the specifications of another 100-110 aircraft, due to be manufactured primarily after 2015. They will probably include 25-30 MiG-35 fighters, another 12-16 Su-30 combat trainers for Su-35 squadrons and 40-60 Sukhoi T-50 PAK FA (Advanced Frontline Aviation Aircraft System) fifth-generation fighters. The T-50's subsequent official designation remains unclear.
Naturally, these 350 fixed-wing aircraft cannot completely meet Air Force demand for new equipment. Operational warplanes will therefore have to be upgraded in order to maintain air force combat capability and adequate air fleet standards.
Speaking of revamped aircraft, by 2020 the Air Force will have about 100 Su-27SM/SM2 fighters (now about 50 in service), approximately 80 MiG-31BM Foxhound fighters (now about 10 in service) and approximately 100 MiG-29SM2/SMT fighters (now about 30 in service). Moreover, the Air Force will operate almost 150 upgraded Su-25SM ground-attack aircraft and probably 50-60 Su-24M2 Fencer-D tactical attack aircraft.
The range of strategic bombers will remain the same. The Air Force will continue to operate 16-17 Tu-160 Blackjacks, 60-64 Tu-95MS Bear-Hs and 60-70 Tu-22M Backfires. Virtually all of them will be overhauled.
The Russian Air Force now has about 2,800 aircraft, including nearly 1,500 warplanes. The air fleet is expected to decline still further. Virtually all un-modernized aircraft will be scrapped at the end of their service life.
Consequently, the Air Force will have some 1,500-1,700 fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters, including only about 800 combat-ready warplanes. The number could increase if additional state defense contracts are awarded. Options are currently being considered.
Is this enough or not? The industrial world, including Russia, the NATO countries and the United States, continues to scale down its air forces. This is an objective process. The number of newly procured aircraft does not equal the number of planes currently being decommissioned, most of which were built in the 1960s, the 1970s and the 1980s.
Such reductions are motivated by some objective factors, including the end of the Cold War and plunging industrial world defense spending (relative to GDP), and subjective factors, including vastly superior modern combat equipment efficiency rendering it unnecessary to replace older aircraft one for one.
A comparison of these statistics with foreign air force modernization data shows that Russia will retain the world's second-largest air force after the United States in the next 10 years. Due to slow air fleet renewal rates and the delayed adoption of fifth-generation fighters, the U.S. Air Force will have to reduce the number of its fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters from 5,000 to 3,000-3,500, including 1,700-2,000 warplanes.
At the same time, we should not forget that unmanned air vehicles (UAVs) will supersede warplanes in some spheres, primarily reconnaissance missions, in the foreseeable future. However, this is an entirely different story.
