SU-30 SM fighter crews start intensive training flights in Armenia’s airspace

Public Radio of Armenia

The crews of state-of-the-art SU-30 SM fighters have started intensive training and are carrying out training flights, Spokesperson for the Ministry of Defense Shushan Stepanyan said in a Facebook post.

Armenian pilots who have returned from training are carrying out daily flights in the airspace of the Republic of Armenia, she added.

After the training flights the jets will start inspecting the state borders round the clock.

The first batch of jets was delivered to Armenia in late December 2019. A second delivery is expected in the near future.

The Sukhoi Su-30SM is a Russian-made twin-engine, two-seat supermaneuverable  4+ generation fighter jet.  

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

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
