Two Russian Su-30 fighter jets arrive in Venezuela
MOSCOW/CARACAS. July 3 (Interfax-AVN) - Two Russian Su-30 fighter jets have landed in Caracas to join a military parade to mark the anniversary of Venezuela's independence from Spain on July 5, an official with the Russian defense and industrial complex told Interfax- AVN. "It has yet to be decided whether the planes will remain in that country until a contract is signed for the sale of 24 Su-30 fighter jets to Venezuela, or they will return home after the celebrations," the official said.

Those statistic would factor pilots of similar abilities...which is far from the case.
"Alberto Muller Rojas, the presidential advisor, has indicated that Venezuela is considering selling the planes to Iran if Venezuela does not receive spare parts from Washington"
That's hilarious. What would Iran do with them? Put them next to all the F14's they couldn't get spare parts for?
I know nothing about this subject and after reading quite a few military forums on the subject there seems to be a wide range of opinion on which fighters are the best. But they all agree the F-22 will be the leader when it comes online.
Putin playing with fire again...
Or is it that Putin is a Communist???

Target practice! I wonder if any russian pilots will fly missions for them. We need to stay vigilant.
The pilots defec[a]ted.
"Two Russian Su-30 fighter jets have landed in Caracas to join a military parade to mark the anniversary of Venezuela's independence from Spain on July 5."
This may be the most cleverly ironic statement I've ever seen. Celebrate independence from Spain by demonstrating servitude to Russia.

Remember that Putin is still the defacto premier of the "Nonexistant" USSR as well as the Russian President. Also, because Putin led the KGB and is friends (Behind the scenes) to Gennedy Zuginov, he is also a respected personality with communists in the know.

ROFL...So true.
Happy Independence Day to all and God Bless America.

Interesting but I have a different way of looking at it, though admittedly I can't prove my view. I know that inside the Soviet Union, the KGB was just an organ of government, albeit a powerful one. But as far as I'm concerned, they are the ones who have set up most of the structure of the Left throughout the world. Obviously, they did not set up the Chinese government---that is an independent, though closely allied entity.
But when you look at all these Leftist organizations and movements in the US: gays, the teachers union, the State Department, most university teachers, the mainstream media, Hollywood, etc.---all moving in lockstep to support enemies of the US no matter who they are and what they do, and help undermine and distort our country---you are looking at KGB product as far as I'm concerned.
And while the KGB certainly did NOT create the Democratic Party, I believe they have taken it over. That is why I view questions of whether Hillary will be the nominee as so much nonsense. Hillary is the Secretary General of the Politburo of the Democratic Party, as far as I'm concerned.
Also remember that the Russian Communist Party is controlled by the Russian Government.
The Venezuelan F-16 drivers. Years of experience with some having air-to-air kills during the coup back in the 90's.
The Iranians do fabricate parts for their F-14s. They are still very much active in the Gulf region and well known to the Coalition forces.
Where's this from?
If I remember right, Wikipedia.
Thanks.
