Irkutsk Aviation Plant of the United Aircraft Corporation (PJSC “UAC”, part of the Rostec State Corporation) manufactured and handed over to the Russian Defense Ministry new Su-30SM2 fighters and combat training Yak-130.

“In light of the current challenges, the industry acts in solidarity with the Ministry of Defense. The Coordinating Council under the Government oversees ensuring the needs of the armed forces in equipment and compliance with delivery deadlines,” said Deputy Prime Minister – Minister of Industry and Trade Denis Manturov. “In addition, everything is being done to ensure that our industrial enterprises, including those included in the Rostec aviation cluster, continue to develop the technical base, be provided with Russian machines and equipment, and rhythmically increase production volumes and output rates.”

The Su-30SM2 fighters represent a further development of the aircraft in service with the Russian Aerospace Forces and the Russian Navy aviation. The new machines received an improved complex of avionics. Thanks to the modernization carried out on the instructions of the Russian Defense Ministry, the combat capabilities of the aircraft have increased. In particular, the range of detection and identification of air targets has increased. New high-precision weapons of destruction of air, land and sea objects at a range of several hundred kilometers have been introduced into the fighter aircraft armament.

The Yak-130 two-seat combat training aircraft provides basic and advanced training for pilots of modern and promising combat aircraft, including supermaneuverable fighters of the 4++ and 5 generations.

“As part of Rostech, we continue to fulfill our obligations under the state defense order. Today, another batch of machines is in production, which will be handed over to the customer by the end of the year,” said Yuri Slyusar, General Director of the United Aircraft Corporation. “As for the transferred equipment, the upgraded Su–30SM2 fighters have proven themselves to be effective and reliable machines to meet the tasks of the Ministry of Defense.”
