“A number of them are using the Sukhoi Su-30 Flanker jet as the air forces' main fighter aircraft,” the director general of the Russian state arms exporter Rosoboronexport said Wednesday at the Paris Air Show 2017.

The demand for Russian Aviation equipment is rising in Asia Pacific, especially for Sukhoi jets and MIG type fighter jets.
