PKS of the Russian Federation received the first Su-35C Party this year: how many of the total cars in

"This year this year the party of new multifunctional fighters of Su-35C was transferred to the Ministry of Defense of Russia. Aircraft 4 ++ passed a cycle to the place of service, " - said the press service" Rostech ". According to the Public Procedure Plan, the United Aviation Corporation (UAC) should be supplied by the Su-35 to Russia by 2028. Although, according to unconfirmed data, there is a likelihood of continuation, as well as a possible increase in order volume, journalists said.

According to official data, the UAC has produced a total of 151 Su-35C fighter. At the same time, the Czech company Spaceknow, which is engaged in the study of satellite images, noted that before the full -scale invasion of Ukraine in the UAC at different times could be observed from 11 to 16 aircraft, and by April 2022, 19 cars were built. By October of the same year, this figure increased to 30 finished aircraft located near the assembly units of the enterprise.

"Satellite images taken in September showed that the manufacturer has 31 Su-35 aircraft. The last picture, taken in October 2023, shows 29 aircraft ready for flight," the observers write. Meanwhile, Czech experts point out that it is quite difficult to establish the exact number of machines produced, because the lens is most often inadvertent planes or those that are stored. A study by the American Center for Analysis of European Policy (CEPA) offers an intriguing view on this topic.

According to their research, in recent months, Russia has been constantly collecting about 30-35 new Su-35 aircraft-this means that theoretically, Moscow boasts an arsenal of 114 such machines. At the same time, CEO of OAC Yuri Slyusar said that at the Komsomol plant, where planes were being produced, the production line was upgraded to satisfy the order of the Ministry of Defense.

However, the growing loading of production facilities sets a difficult task before Knaaz management, as it is necessary to improve the skills of current employees and to attract new personnel in key working and engineering specialties. As a result, that the pace of aviation production does not decrease, the company must hire an additional 800 specialists. We will remind, according to Forbes, the possibilities of the park of Russian PCS have decreased to 700 fighters and stormtroopers.
