Iran to buy Russian fighter-jets

MOSCOW, Aug. 28 (MNA) – Iran's VP who has recently left Moscow has told the local media about undergoing talks on buying Russian fighter-jets.

Iranian Vice-President for Science and Technology Sorena Sattari has told Russian media that Iranian Defense Minister and Russian military officials are discussing the Tehran's purchase of two kinds of Russian-made military aircraft.

Sattari also stated that Iran is examining civilian passenger craft the Sukhoi Superjet 100 and Iranian airliners are likely to buy the plane dependent on the price offered by the Russians.

Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) reported earlier on Thursday that one of the fighter jets to be bought by Iran is Sukhoi Su-30.

The Sukhoi Su-30 is a twin-engine, two-seat super-maneuverable fighter aircraft developed by Russia's Sukhoi Aviation Corporation.

It is a multirole fighter for all-weather, air-to-air and air-to-surface deep interdiction missions.
