Would make sense if Turkey was involved in increasing the numbers, it would maybe not be possible to buy jf17 for Turkey but if Azerbaijan bought more and stationed them in here temporarily as a stopgap measure under a unified command, that would make sense.

Following the adoption of the Shusha Declaration, the Greeks are also considering this possibility:

"...in the event of a military clash with Turkey, Greece should also consider Azerbaijan as a potential adversary, primarily its Air Force and special forces.

This provides additional capabilities to those Turkey already possesses, both tactically and strategically. For example, it provides the Turkish Air Force with even greater strategic depth, allowing it to launch airstrikes against our country from Azerbaijani territory with in-flight refueling, even if we destroy critical air targets—airports in Turkey's interior—with strategic weapons—the ammunition of our Air Force and Navy.

The Azerbaijani Air Force also operates MiG-21, MiG-29, and Su-25 fighter jets, which our country has never encountered in aerial combat.

On the contrary, as we saw from the Air Force's participation in the Turkish Anatolian Eagle 2021 exercises, the participating Azerbaijani aircraft, namely two MiG-29s and two Su-25s, will be training with Turkish F-16s, so they will be familiar with the "tactical behavior" of these aircraft on our country's battlefield.

Furthermore, the Azerbaijanis have two batteries with approximately 200 Russian S-300MMU2 anti-aircraft missiles, which Greece also possesses, with all the ensuing consequences.

The same applies to Qatari Rafale fighters, 12 of which, according to the recent military agreement between Turkey and Qatar, will be stationed in Turkey over the next five years.

The above concerns should concern personnel and political leadership before it is too late."

According to Russian Осведомитель, Azerbaijan wants to purchase 45 Su-35s for $4 billion, and wants to integrate Turkish/Israeli weapons/subsystems onto the aircraft. if the deal goes through, 45 Su-35s + 40 JF-17 Block 3s will be a very powerful force

That's weird, why now? They don't really need the planes if jf17s are arriving and what do they need to appease russia for currently? That many planes would make Azerbaijan disproportionately powerful for such a small population and economy, it would be costly to maintain with a gdp of 75 billion

Don't believe it. It's impossible. The Russians are too late. We would have bought these fighters 10-15 years ago, but not anymore. Spare parts for previously purchased military equipment and ammunition – yes. But nothing more.

I've been watching the Russian Air Force since the first day of the war. Neither the Su-35, nor even the vaunted Su-57, have achieved anything in the skies over Ukraine.
The Israeli Air Force took control of the skies over Iran in 36 hours. The Russians haven't been able to do that for three and a half years.
The actions of Russian military aviation in Ukraine are a complete failure.
As is their entire military campaign.

Russians can't use Su-35s properly because they don't have proper munitions for them, attach modern AESA + Targeting Pod + access to NATO type guided munitions, then you have a monster on your hands, thats what India is doing with their Flankers, they have Litening targeting pods and developing their own munitions to use on the aircraft.

Many countries, to avoid dependence on a single supplier who could, at the most critical moment, cut off arms and ammunition supplies under some trumped-up pretext, purchase them from various countries. But no country buys weapons from its potential adversary. None of us would even consider the absurd idea of buying weapons from Armenia. Right? But Russia poses an immeasurably greater threat to us!
We had no choice before.
And now we do.

Iran, Armenia, and Russia pose a danger to us. Iran and Armenia are Russia's allies. Considering that the Air Force is the most important component of any army, it would be unwise to rely on Russia for decades to come.
