Speaking at the MAKS air show in Moscow, Gen Aleksander Zelin said five squadrons will eventually be armed with the two-seat type, with each to have 24 aircraft.

The Russian defence ministry's procurement plan for this year includes 12 Su-34s, and production activities at Sukhoi's NAPO plant in Novosibirsk are gradually picking up.

Orders have been confirmed for 32 Su-34s so far, with seven of these having been accepted into squadron service and a handful more being used by the defence ministry's weapons-assessment units and industry.https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5WWtWFHIbS8VS5he1yEHHL5oZUvVV5CqWyNGo0KNVMIRxRu2zkdYlF_JqX7ojR4XENkq1z9CNC26lx4gn8skb7c13NWMYo1Bz8rtXT4j8wdNJixpOZDCL7g1OQqjlarKZG_5K1tmuWpuw/s1600/Russian_Su-34_Fighter_Bomber_2.jpg
