The Venezuelan military aviation this year is slated to be delivered the last four Russian Sukhoi-30 warplanes to complete a 24-aircraft fleet the Venezuelan government bought from Moscow.

Aviation Commander, Major General Luis José Berroterán Acosta, said a communications satellite for peaceful purposes, as well as seven radars for air defense, and a last batch of weapons would be sent from China by the end of this semester.

In the 2008 Military Inter-institutional Games of the Venezuelan Armed Forces, held in military base Fuerte Tiuna, the high-ranking official stated that plans to modernize the military aviation are moving forward.
