MOSCOW --- The Russian Defense Ministry has signed a $470 million contract with the MiG Corporation for the delivery of 16 advanced MiG-29 SMT fighters, the ministry said Tuesday.

The company had earlier confirmed the deal in an interview with RIA Novosti, but did not specify its value.

“The value of the contract, including the ground support and test equipment, is more than 17 billion rubles. The contract is a strategic measure for maintaining the combat readiness of the lightweight fighter fleet,” the Defense Ministry said in the statement.

As of last year, the Russian Air Force had 28 of the fighters, a single-seat upgraded version of the MiG-29 SM fighter capable of using smart air-to-surface weapons.

The MiG-29 SMT, developed in the first half of the 2000s, features add-on fuselage fuel tanks for extended range, special radar-absorbing paint, and can be outfitted with supersonic and anti-ship missiles. The plane can perform ‘blind’ bombing runs at night, as well as reconnaissance missions.

The Defense Ministry also plans to sign a contract for the delivery of 4++ generation MiG-35S fighters after 2016, with about 100 to be built in the near future, a spokesman for the ministry told reporters Tuesday.

The move will help optimize the ratio of light and heavy fighters in the Russian Air Force, the ministry said.

then, the cycle of problem reoccur.

The only thing that I dissapointed about is it lack of proper ciws.

Do you guys realize there is "* not included".
Thai look cheap but it not yet included SAM cost.
as for codad already been said long time ago.
me no problem with that as it have less maintenance cost and its not like a huge problem for asw mission as every1 think.
Lacking of goods ciws is the only complaint I have.

Even not included ESSM weapons system the RTN ship is still the most expensive ship among others in the chart.

So there are no possible adding CIWS?

German defense company Rheinmetall announced that a European navy has ordered two Oerlikon Millennium automatic cannon for one of its surface combatants. The contract is worth around €12 million, and also includes technical documentation, spare parts and services relating to maintenance training and system integration. Delivery is scheduled to take place in 2015.

to supply MSI Defence Systems Limited 30mm Small Calibre Guns for the LCS Programme (“the Awarded Works”) at a total value of GBP17,290,916 (Great Britain Pounds Seventeen Million Two Hundred Ninty Thousand Nine Hundred and Sixteen) equivalent to RM87,729,508 at 28 Oct. 2013

Any idea which version the MSI 30mm gun is referring to?

I dun mind we get at least ds30sigma though.
but I hoping for searams as few of our neighbours using supersonic antiship missile.

as for codad it is not as loud as you think it would be.
The current generation have improve lots.
I dun think there will be much issue since the gowind class were designed on Raft-Mounted Propulsion System (RMPS).
asw mission wont be a problem.

SeaRAM is basically the Phalanx system, with the 20mm gun replaced with a box of eleven RAM (RIM-116 "Rolling Air Frame") missiles

SeaRAM is meant to provide combat support ships that normally have no defenses, or at least no combat radars and fire control system.

Searams is probably one of the best ciws.
Searams combo with 57mm 3p rounds should provide a very good lines of defense for the ship.
