Amid the ongoing war in Ukraine, Russia has continued to capture the world’s attention, not just with its actions on the battlefield, but through the ongoing exportation of crude oil at vastly discounted prices to keep economic momentum, despite sanctions imposed by the West.
Under the control of President Vladimir Putin, Moscow has established itself as an exporter of energy and high military power with significant capabilities to employ its advanced weapons in milliseconds against its opponents.
Who is involved in the leaked Russian aircraft export plan?
Recently, a shocking report has emerged in which the hacker group Black Mirror has released the initial part of an archive of documents from the Russian state defense corporation Rostec. The publication presented more than 300 items. Read here.
What fighter jets are reportedly being sold to Iran and Algeria?
Russia is reportedly planning to sell Su-57 and Su-35 fighter jets to Iran and Algeria. A leaked Russian export plan has indicated the sale of these aircraft. Recently, screenshots of Rostec’s purported pricing table were shared on October 3, which included electronic warfare and onboard kits associated with Sukhoi exports. This suggests that Algeria has a potential deal for Su-57 jets, and Iran is set to receive Su-35 jets. The delivery of these jets to Iran could alarm the United States and Israel.
As reported by Army Recognition, on October 2 The Insider reported that hacker group Black Mirror had leaked the first 300 internal Rostec documents that show Russian military deals and export pricing. The documents seem to indicate that kits for electronic warfare and onboard packaged bundles for Sukhoi aircraft are being prepared for export users.
Which electronic warfare systems are included in the leaked packages?
On October 3, 2025, a set of screenshots allegedly from a hacked Rostec affiliate pricing table appeared online, including those from @MonitorX99800 on X, which appears to list packages of electronic-warfare kits and onboard packages for Sukhoi aircraft for export customers. The quantities and scope seem to reflect long-rumored Iranian and Algerian interest. However, the authenticity of the leak remains unverified, and analysts have urged caution until official confirmation or comment is provided by the parties involved.
According to leaked screenshots, export avionics are associated with the Su-35, Su-34, and Su-57 programs. The customer code 364 refers to Su-35 items for a 48-aircraft program, costing €588.6 million. Based on the documents, delivery timelines for the units are anticipated between 16-18 months and 46-48 months post-advance payment.
Who released the leaked Rostec documents?
According to information from the leaked export table, it appears that Group 364 has reported 24 Khibiny-M electronic warfare suites for the Su-35, with a 15-20% advance payment received. This is consistent with the information in the same document, which refers to a 48-aircraft order for the Su-35 that will be delivered between 2026-2028-a 15% down payment being required-strongly indicating that this potential customer is Iran.
If the leaked documents are accurate, Iran is expected to receive 48 Su-35 fighters between 2026 and 2028, alongside spare parts and Khibiny-M electronic warfare systems listed under code 364. These 48 aircraft could constitute two operational squadrons, one operational conversion unit (OCU), and an attrition reserve, thereby potentially altering the regional airpower balance in that timeframe.
While all of this has been going on, Algeria’s package will also include 12 Su-57E shipsets and Su-34 kits, which are among Russia’s largest fighter export cycles in a decade, for both strategic purposes in the Gulf region and the western Mediterranean.
Code 012 is referenced more than once: there is an indication of Su-34 kits at roughly $175.6 million up until 2026, and Su-57 “PKI” shipsets for 12 planes at a purchase price of approximately $238.7 million, although there appears to be an advance of 15%. The mixed pricing indicates Euro/dollars for each kit represent separate eventual export contracts, which are individually tracked through one internal dashboard.

Many questions and theories have been raised about the leaked document, but its authenticity remains unconfirmed until Russia, Iran, or Algeria officially comments on it. Nevertheless, the volume and shape of the data point convincingly to who the parties involved are, as the volume and combinations listed are hard to identify with any other customer pair.
