More Su-30s for China
краткое содержание: еще одна заметка про то, как китайцы у нас хорошо закупаются
According to Roy's Russian Aircraft Resource, 1/27/03:
China to Buy Another 24 Su-30 Fighters from Russia
China will purchase a huge batch of SU-30MKK fighters from Russia. As Rosoboronehksport has reported, the contract was signed last Monday, the value of which is nearly 1 billion dollars.
As Interfax is reporting with reference to the sources in the defense industrial complex, they will deliver 24 fighters produced at the Komsomol’sk-on-Amur Aviation Production Association to China.
The fighters being delivered to China will be adapted for operation against maritime targets. This is the fourth contract for delivery of Su-30 combat airplanes to China. The first three were concluded in 1999, 2001 and 2002. Russia was obligated to delivery 40 Su-30MK in accordance with each of these agreements. The cost of each contract is estimated at 1.8 billion dollars.
The growing deliveries of Russian arms to China are irritating the United States. This is becoming apparent, true, not in official statements, but in the publications of the local press. Recently, for example, The Washing Post warned that the delivery of Russian submarines “is increasing appreciably China’s capability to blockade Taiwan and to challenge American dominance in the seas surrounding China. The U.S. is the chief supplier of arms to Taiwan, the same as our country is the main exporter of military equipment to mainland China.
