Russia is to sell around 300 MiG- and Su-family warplanes at home and abroad by 2015, Sukhoi and MiG companies said on Tuesday.

"Three hundred Su and MiG family warplanes are to be delivered to the domestic and foreign market by 2015 - approximately 40% for the Russian Defense Ministry and the other 60% for export," the general director of both corporations, Mikhail Pogosyan, said.

He did not specify to which countries warplanes would be exported to.

He said six Su-34 Flanker fighter bombers would be delivered to the Russian Air Force before the end of the current year.

"We are presently carrying out a contract to supply Su-34s to the Defense Ministry; we have already delivered two aircraft," Pogosyan said.

He said as of 2011 the Sukhoi company would start delivering 12-20 aircraft to the Air Force each year.
