Myanmar’s Su-30SME Flanker Purchase

Myanmar bought six brand new Su-30SME Fighter Aircraft from Russia last year (2018) for only Usd 34 million each. However, while they may be very cheap to acquire, as I discussed in a post before, the estimated Operating Costs for these aircraft is very high, up to Usd 35,000 per hour.

Myanmar though is the fourth South East Asian (SEA) country to operate the Flanker aircraft, the others being Indonesia, Vietnam and Malaysia. Most reports say that Myanmar bought the Su-30SM, but as far as I know that is only for the Russian Air Force and the export version is actually designated as Su-30SME.
