The Russian Armed Forces have been reequipping at a rapid rate in the last 10 years. After more than a decade of reductions and crisis, large quantities of aircraft and helicopters were acquired. What follows is a summary of the main contracts. Only the ones that have been signed and cofirmed are included.
Sukhoi is the big winner in this situation. Larque quantities of Su-30 and Su-35 are being acquired. The first can be rapidly produced and is well tested, as large quantities have been acquired by India, Algeria and Malaysia. The latter is a transition fighter for the future PAK FA fighter.
RSK MiG has signed smaller contracts for MiG-29K for Russian Navy (VMF) and MiG-35 for Aerospace Forces (VKS). MiG-29SMT are also being acquired, but these are built with existing components, left at the factory after USSR dissolved.
