are there plans to keep acquiring more Smerchs and Venas as well? I like the Azerbaijani military but I'd like to see some diversification more so then just relying on the Israelis
either way I'm impressed with the buildup

Army already has 36 Smerches and around 50 Venas, and is focusing mainly on acquisition of Polonez-M and Spear MK2. Russia is still the biggest supplier to Azerbaijan but Israel is close to taking that spot.

any of the deals from Israel, Russia etc. include a license production permit or these all just bought in flyaway conditions?

nearly all Israeli UAVs were bought with production license, Azerbaijan produces all of UAVs developed by Aeronautics, Heron and UCAV version based on Heron TP-XP. Azerbaijan doesn't really need any production rights from Russia, the demand is large but short term, meaning those factories will just sit empty in few years.

seems I missed these news back from October

Air Force expanded its order for M-346 from 10 to 25, I am speculating the 15 may be armed versions for Border Patrol, as they have been looking for light combat aircraft

that Su-30MKA part is interesting if true, Air Force would be going for 25 M-346, 24 JF-17s with AESA and Aselpod, probably similar number and tech for Su-30MKAs, 48 fighters + 16 MiG-29s currently in service that will be upgraded with the same AESA and Aselpod. Total of 64 AESA equipped fighters and 40+ CAS Su-25 that will be using Aselpod. if Ka-52 deal also goes through, 60 Ka-52s + 36 Mi-35s, Azerbaijan will have the 2nd most capable Air Force in the region after Turkey. Although I wish Air Force would go for Su-35s.

 

[what]

It would also mean you would have one of the most diverse (equipment wise) airforces after Qatar probably.

why? all 4 aircraft use Russian engines, same avionics, same targeting pod, same radar and etc.

Turkish and Israeli Airforces can rape Saudi Airforce , and never forget that only Turkish and Israeli Airforces uses its own systems in the region
