London: The head of state-owned Sukhoi aircraft manufacturing holding said Tuesday he hoped the talks on the possible sales of Su aircraft to Venezuela would yield positive results.
"We will be speaking later about any concrete results but I believe that they [the results] will be positive," Mikhail Pogosyan said at the 2006 Farnborough International Airshow.
A source in the talks said the two countries had been negotiating the sales of 24 Su-30MK Flanker C air superiority fighters to replace Venezuelan contingent of U.S. F-16 multi-role fighters after Washington imposed an embargo on arms sales to the country.
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez earlier accused the United States of breaching an agreement to supply parts for Venezuela's F-16s.

Great! And in three years, there will be one or two that are operational. The rest will have been crashed or cannibalized for parts.
"Jose....where goes this hose?"
"In the cockpit, jefe."
"Truly? But it connects to the fuel tank."
"Si!"
"OK, then."

"...24 Su-30MK Flanker C air superiority fighters" If an F-22 can carry 24 air to air missles, then just one could easily take down the entire fleet of these.

Captain Blow-hard should spend his petrodollars on repairing his country´s infrastructure as opposed to buying SU30¨s that will be Hangar queens in 5 years.

Chavez is wasting the petroleum wealth of formerly democratic, now enslaved Venezuela, like a Kennedy in a liquor store.

Exactly: How many pople could the cost of one of these planes feed. How many schools would they build?
It never ceass to amze me that these people like Chavez and Saddam could be spoken of for the next 200 years as saviors of their land , as great leaders, but they turn that down to be piss ant dictators.
the oil is the peoples property and hould be used for the people not for some Dime store dictator.

We'll put a second shift on at the AMRAAM factory. They'll never even see the plane that fired them.
