| “We
are holding negotiations on all three aircraft and hoping to sign contracts
at the show,” Rosoboronexport cited head of the company’s
delegation at Le Bourget show, Sergei Kornev, as saying.
Kornev did not provide the details of the future contracts or specify
the potential buyers.
The 50th Paris Air Show will take place at Le Bourget exhibition center
on June 17-23. The world’s largest and oldest aviation exhibition
puts together 2,113 leading players of the global aviation industry from
45 countries this year.
Rosoboronexport will promote over 100 types of military products, including
aircraft, air defense systems, on-board equipment and munitions at the
show.
The Su-35
Flanker-E multirole fighter, powered by two 117S engines
with thrust vectoring, combines high maneuverability and the capability
to engage several air targets simultaneously using both guided and unguided
missiles and weapon systems.
The aircraft has been touted as "4++ generation using fifth-generation
technology."
The Russian Air Force is due to receive 50 Su-35s
by 2015, according to various reports.
The Ka-52
Hokum-B is a modification of the basic Ka-50 Hokum model.
It is armed with a 30-mm cannon, Vikhr (Whirlwind) laser guided missiles,
rockets and bombs. The helicopter is also equipped with two radars, one
for ground targets and another for aerial targets, as well as a Samshite
nighttime-daytime thermal sighting system.
It has a maximum speed of 350 kph, a flight ceiling of 5,500 meters, and
a range of over 1,000 kilometers.
The Yak-130
Mitten is a highly maneuverable aircraft with an extended range of about
2,000 kilometers (1,250 miles) and a maximum speed of 1,060 kilometers
per hour (600 miles per hour) in level flight. It can carry a combat payload
of up to 3,000 kilograms (6,600 pounds).
The Yak-130
has been chosen as a basic aircraft for Russian Air Force pilot training.
The Irkut aircraft maker and the Russian Defense Ministry signed in December
2011 a contract for the delivery of 55 Yak-130 jets by 2015.
