[Test7]

Multifunctional fighters Su-30SM enter the Air Force under an agreement with the Russian Federation and the rearmament program of the Armed Forces of Kazakhstan. “The Su-30SM aircraft will significantly increase the ability to cover troops and objects from air attacks, and to detect and destroy air and ground targets. Thanks to them, the combat potential of the Armed Forces will increase, ”noted Commander-in-Chief of the Air Defense Forces, Aviation Lieutenant General Nurlan Ormanbetov.

The Su-30SM is a Generation 4 two-seat multipurpose all-weather super-maneuverable fighter. It combines the functions of two types of combat vehicles in service with the Air Force: Su-27 and MiG-31. The deliveries of aircraft from the Irkutsk Aviation Plant began back in 2015.

Today, many air bases are already equipped with them. The flight and engineering personnel of the Karaganda aviation base underwent complete retraining in Taldykorgan and at the manufacturing plant. They received the appropriate approvals for piloting, operating and servicing aircraft of this type.
