Russia is ready to export state-of-the art SU-35 air superiority-cum-strike fighter to India.
The fourth generation plus(4+) fighter is rated next to the fifth generation American F-22 Raptor, which, however is not for export.
Su-35 has larger wings and more powerful engines than the Sukhoi-30 MRI, which is in service with the Indian Air Force.
India has tendered for 126 medium multi-role fighters worth #10.2 billion.
According to the company, the fighter is powered by engines that are much superior to those fitted on Su-30.
It is equipped with a 30-mm cannon with 150 rounds and can carry up to eight tonnes of combat payload.
If the offer is accepted, Russia will be prepared to export the fighters in 2011.
