Jordan Interested in Purchasing Russian Su-34 Bombers

AMMONNEWS - Amman is conducting consultations with Russian manufactures on acquiring a small number of Su-32 (export version of Su-34) fighter-bomber jets, local media reported Monday, citing officials working for Russian aircraft producers.

However, Jordan has not filed any official purchasing order yet, the Russian media outlet added.

In late March, the Russian state arms exporter Rosoboronexport said Russia’s anti-terror air campaign in Syria had raised the popularity of the Su-34 fighter-bombers, which several Middle Eastern countries were interested in buying.

Russia has also been carrying out negotiations with the Jordanian side for the supply of several Mi-26 helicopters used both for military and transportation purposes, according to a source in Russian Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation.

All former US Allies now know that Obama threw them under the bus...why not turn to the Russians?

Russia will fill the void—and make money doing it too.

With westernized avionics it is a good buy, and it appears Russia’s little adventure in Syria was - at least partly - an ad campaign.
