There is a rumor that Egyptians were displeased with quality of Su-35 and that also play part in cancellation of the order. It is because Russia basically didn't develop new fighter (what would not explode like Su-57) from times of Cold War and most of they designs are basically repacked Su-27. While with Su-30 it make sense as Russia lost bulk of its Soviet industry and it was still decent in the early 2000. Su 34/35 were promoted as next gen fighters, but they were basically only slightly modernized Su-30. When potential clients realized that they drop the deals. Especially after previous permanence issues with Su-30. Iran also is disinterested with Su-35 as they operate F-14. Even if Russia try push them. The more interesting part is why Russia didn't use it for the war? That could explain a lot.

[@Nathan-vt1jz]

Probably a combination five main factors (my guess at the beginning): 1. Russia is focused on making weapons for the war against Ukraine. 2. Russian weapons are slow to arrive and lost prestige with their performance in the war with Ukraine. 3. Competition from Turkey, China, and other countries. 4. Sanctions on high tech equipment (such as semiconductors). 5. China and India are producing more of their own equipment.

Another critical aspect is that military vehicles are heavy investments in time and money. Aircraft require constant repairs, if you can't get supplies via either a unreliable supplier or because your supplier cut you off via a war (either the supplier needs the parts themselves or you are at war with the supplier) , your air force gets grounded within a month as planes wear out without replacement parts They are costly, an SU-57 is 40-50 million USD which is alot of money to waste

[@RedXlV]

Russia's biggest export customers by far were China and India. China no longer needs to import fighters from anybody else, and India is working very hard to get into that same position. Not to mention, India has always bought from anybody who's selling, rather than locking themselves into eastern or western hardware. Meaning that any time they look for a new fighter that, India has solicited bids from the US, Britain, France, Russia, and Sweden, and picked whichever jet they thought was the best deal. And in their most recent big contract, the Dassault Rafale beat out the MiG-35. If the MRCA competition had gone differently (and faced just as many delays and legal challenges afterward), Russia would've been exporting dozens (at least) of MiG-35s to India this decade.

[@zeljkopopovic2662]

If India has kept her cooperation with Russia. You would have by now plenty of squadrons of 5th generation FGFA produced by INDIA!

[@Lomhow]

for real, French military industrial complex is printing money thanks to Russian failures

[@stephenbuck1280]

The reason is simple. Russia’s biggest customer China is producing its own planes now and India wants to diversify its suppliers because its main strategic opponents are China and Pakistan, both of which are aligned with Russia. France is aggressively pushing its planes to many of Russia’s potential customers and the US has much better products. The Russian arms sales are even more challenged when it comes to armoured vehicles and other heavy military equipment as there are many more producers now such as Turkey and South Korea. This is a major challenge for Russia as any future weapons development and manufacturing costs cannot be shared with other countries and the cost per unit is going to be very high. Only countries which no one else wants to supply such as North Korea and Iran will buy Russian. Russia has lost the economy of scale it needs to develop and sell weapons.

Those 12 planned Airframes would be delivered after HAL's Nashik plant restarts the Su-30 Production line, which would take time as the Plant is busy with HAL Tejas Production. India is buying old 2nd hand MiG-29s as spares and additional flying units. The existing MiG-29s (which were bought in the 1980s) were modernized to SMT standard (called MiG-29UPG), to keep them reliable till 2035. The Indian Navy MiG-29K/KUB will also be retired post 2035 (given that they are only Active since 2010s), as there's minimal support from Russia for spares and all... India had plans to buy MiG-31s as their MiG-25s being retired, but chose Su-30's Multirole abilities. Indian Navy was planning to Induct Su-34 (unconfirmed), but that plan didn't get through. And the FGFA (Su-57 derivative) also stalled. Both the Su-35 and MiG-35 are competing with the Rafale, EF Typhoon, JAS-39 Gripen, F/A-18 Super Hornet, F-15EX Eagle II, and the F-21 (Indianised version of F-16V) in the MRFA Tender. The Russian Aircrafts have little to no chance succeeding.

IMO, there are several factors. 1. Competition, with more nations producing export airframes... there are low cost alternatives 2. Indiginous production, more nations are opting to build their own aircraft. Some of these were heavy purchasers of soviet airframes. 3. Expense, operating a fleet of aircraft is expensive. Pilots need stick time which uses up flight hours on the airframe. Fuel, maintenance, replacements, and munitions. 4. AA... most nations will not be able to stop a great power. Their goals are to restrict peers. Modern AA can severely restrict 4th gen airforces. Munitions may be expensive, but maintenance and operation are cheaper than aircraft.

Great video. Re: China's 2015 of purchase of only 24 SU-35s, if I remember correctly from an interview I saw once with Justin Bronk, the story there was Sukhoi knew the purchase was intended to allow the Chinese to reverse engineer the engines, and they only acquiesced if China agreed to buy more than a handful. Hence the number they settled on was 24 since they would at least make some money off the deal. So maybe a sign of desperation on Sukhoi's part to accept theft of their IP in return for a small production deal.

[@qiyuxuan9437]

This is a pretty old story, but very unlikely the case. Since reverse engeneering a jet engine is very difficult, often harder than develop a new engine, since without blueprints or technical data, you dont know the material requirement for each parts, and what manufacturing process is needed to make those parts. Today, China already makes better engines than the 117S engine used on the Su35, and the design is very different.

Russia also self-destructed another advantage - scale of technology transfer, which was another point of going to Russia, even when western equipment was available, but with limits placed. Russian equipment is at least adequate ; it's the training and organisation that Russia has been consistently failing at since introducing industry-era militaries. Had Russian equpment sucked - Ukraine wouldn'd survive at is still mostly depends on Soviet era systems.

actually, the reason for no future procurements is india already has a lot of indegenious programmes and throught the license production india was learning a lot at a greater pace, this is maybe the reason russia kind of stalled and wasted india's time and resource for the su-57 joint venture, but thats a part of the reason , the truth is soviets were just impeccable in their weapon technology and the early russia after soviet split carried a lot of the technology from USSR and the tradition too , but the diminishing russian economy which defence tech is the byproduct.... we realised that putting all our eggs in russian baskets is not a wise move given how buying from foreign suppliers restricts us in being sovereign in foreign policy / defense in future ..... russia is the go to supplier since they were very generous in tech transfer local production which france also does but not as much generous like russia but they are also impeding it a bit through delays and stalling, so IAF got fed up and said lets skip that but lets work on indegenious jets with israeli radars for the time being but will be replaced by domestic parts....... thankfully indian navy learned this lesson way before and now india is very much self reliant in naval systems and in future it will almost 100 percent domestic tech..... So yes the technology improvement along with other reason is the factor in play here...... But that doesn't mean russia is useless to india which a lot of comments here and the video trying to imply , those historical helped foster a strong bond and trust factor between two countries..........and the arguement that "who will buy from a country who invaded ukraine " is just bullshit and to appease to american audience in this channel , technology and geopolitics is the reason here.... they are decent products with decent price but america impedes those deals

Binkov, you forgot Serbia. They got 6 mig29 from Russia.

[@bbbbbbbbb1974]

That was a gift. Serbia got 6 used mig29 from Russia but payed for overhaul, modernization on sm standard and new missiles.

Probably Iran will get a pretty good discount for the Russian planes. Russian military production for other countries just ended and they will make very little money from those few sales they will get.

[@syriocortes7085]

As far as I know Russia stopped most of it's weapon deliveries some Time ahí, because they are using almost all in the war with Ukraine, also I read India ordered some TU-160's, that's a huge deal a significant scalation on the kind of weapons Russia Is offering (usually big powers dont sell this kind of strategic weapons systems)

[@Rob_F8F]

Per an 2022 interview with a retired Indian general, India was interested in acquiring the Tu-160. There has been no other news. Certainly no order placed that has been announced.

[@johnfrost1814]

I am a fan of Russian aircrafts, however now, Russian tech is too far behind. Slow rate of production of Su-57, absence of AESA radars, guided weapons in usable numbers, simply put air force was always considered as supporting power for ground units, while for Western countries air force represented independent instrument that led to different way of development.

[@GegeDxD]

Yes, sadly the US does not allow anyone to take their hegemonic position. So, anytime they see someone is developing faster than expected, they sanction them. Disgusting, no?

[@wujekstalina]

​​@@GegeDxDthat's bullshit first of all, the speed of development is not the criterium here, least we would have to send them our experts to help insted of sanctioning cuz of how slow they are. And second - why should we give our technology that we developed to our adversaries? If they want to be big boys they need to put their big boy pants and develop their own semiconductor manufacturing, good luck.

[@wujekstalina]

@@meteorknight999 semiconductors have s lot to do with designing anything nowadays, especially complex avionics of a modern jet. I didn't remove anyone I was gonna argue with them. Besides I'm not the owner of this channel so I can't remove other people's posts anyway.

[@korana6308]

They have AESA radars on Su 57 and Su 35

[@MeanMachine1992]

Why is no one buying Russian jets? Because they suck. Russian airforce can't even assert air superiority over Ukraine, a country with which it shares a border more than 1000 Km long, and doesn't have any "modern" fighters in its airforce. Worse still, Russia is losing airframes left and right to the MIM-104 supplied by America. Why would anyone in their right mind spend billions of dollars on flying scrap metal? The only reason to buy anything made in Russia is because you either don't have the money to buy American/European, or they simply refuse to sell to you, as is the case with Iran.

[@jimmark5639]

bull sh-t

[@dominuslogik484]

Even then Iran still desperately tries to maintain its F-14 and F4 airframes as they are some of the best things they have, the US has been on top in aircraft development since WW2.

[@Apocalypse9696]

Vast majority of the Su30 that India bought were made in India. So you cant call them imported jets. And the later 12 Su30 you are talking about would also be built in India to replace the Su30s that were lost in crashes

[@verrezen]

In modern conflicts ‘second best but cheap’ is NOT a selling point. Not that Russian airframes are second best. They would wish to get that label.

[@Hoera290]

Actually i believe the french Rafale fits that category and its sales are skyrocketing since russian planes sales are goinh down

[@verrezen]

@@Hoera290 True. Then again the Rafale hasn’t been proven to be a bad plane (and it probably isn’t) and the Russian birds have. Or maybe it’s not the planes themselves but the pilots giving the birds a bad name. Either way, seeing their performance over Ukraine, it will certainly take some time for the Russians to get their reputation up again.

[@SpookySm1le]

​@@Hoera290 Rafael cost like 3 su 35s, and even if Rafael is better in all aspects i doubt that it will win in 1 vs 3

[@Hoera290]

@@SpookySm1le I guess it depends on the weaponry and missiles used. The stealthier plane with better missiles wins most of the time Not sure about the actual stealth capabilities of the F3/F4 standard Rafale but the su-35 was built with close quarters (think supermaneuverability) in mind and vert little thought was put into stealth The su-57 would be a fair competitor but it costs around the same

[@SpookySm1le]

@@Hoera290 stealth is overrated. Especially if in 1 vs 3 situations when 1 jet used as AWACS and other 2 fly cold Rafael pretty much can't do anything about it. Both jets have similar missiles (r37 abd and meteor) and radars.

[@dominuslogik484]

@@lovepapa9559 by PPP they are about the same, the thing is that for the F-16 you are looking at a cost of around 80 million or less per fighter meanwhile for the Mig-29 or SU-30 you are looking at a price between 40 and 60 million dollars each. so yes they are cheaper but not really by much and in making this choice there is also the problem that you are effectively picking a side in a fight.

[@dominuslogik484]

@@Ameer-is3dh excuse me? did we invade Indonesia and force it to sign paperwork? that is really more of Russia's thing.

[@DrGrove]

I think the market is shifting in general, fighter jets are no longer considered cost-effective as most nations that are in conflict are fighting insurgencies and not foreign enemies and those kinds of conflicts can be fought with dedicated platforms such as drones or COIN aircraft like the Super Tucano

[@TheKiltedGerman]

Despite the Eastern-bloc cope hating on the F-35, Russia has lost more aircraft to its own air defense than the US has lost F-35 to accidents.

[@juliuszkocinski7478]

Even better, no F-series planes in USAF had more flight hours per crash in it's introduction years than F-35
