Armenia received first of the Su-30SM fighter jets it ordered from Russia earlier this year, on Friday.

In early 2019, Armenia signed an agreement with Russia on purchase of 4 Su-30SM multirole fighter jets, reports TASS.

The exact number of jets delivered to Armenia on Friday remains unclear.

In addition, the Armenian Armed Forces are planning to replenish their arsenal with modern weapons in 2022-2023, particularly with long-range weapon systems.

The Su-30SM is a generation 4++ serial-produced and upgraded two-seat super-maneuverable fighter jet. The Su-30SM is furnished with two AL-31FP thrust-vectoring reheated double-flow turbofan engines. The fighter has an operating range of 1,500 km and a flight endurance of 3.5 hours without refueling.
