It appears that the Angolan Air Force is set to acquire six more Su-30Ks from Russia to increase it’s fleet, during the just recent MAKS-2017 airshow the director of the Russian 558th aircraft repair plant (ARZ) Pavel Pinigin confirmed that Russians and Belarus are jointly searching for buyers for the mothballed Sukhois which was built to fulfill an Indian Air Force order in 1996.
According to him, in 2013 Angola made a request for the six fighter aircraft but has yet to receive it’s order with the agreement stalled due to ‘unfortunate complications’. 
This particular batch of Su-30K was initially delivered to India on a temporary basis until the Su-30MKI (the Indian version) is developed. The aircraft were initially offered to Belarus, Sudan, Vietnam and Angola. However, the delay in delivery was due to the need to reconfigure the fighter planes to fulfill the Angolan Air Force’s requirement and match its current Su-30MK fleet.

India had intended to upgrade these early aircraft but instead used them as part-exchange for new aircraft. The Angolan Air Force currently flies around half a dozen Su-27 Flankers

Welcome to another exciting episode of "Cutting-Edge Tech" in Military Africa. Today, we're diving into the world of military innovation as we unveil the next frontier: the United States' Hypersonic Missile program.

In the ever-evolving landscape of military technology, the pursuit of superiority and strategic advantage has led nations to explore the frontiers of innovation. Among the latest breakthroughs capturing global attention is the development of hypersonic missiles, with the United States at the forefront of this cutting-edge technology.

The United States has unveiled its first hypersonic missile, the Hypersonic Conventional Strike Weapon (HCSW). The HCSW is capable of traveling at speeds of Mach 5 or more, making it difficult to intercept.

Hypersonic missiles represent a paradigm shift in military capabilities, combining unparalleled speed and precision to redefine the dynamics of warfare. These missiles fly at speeds exceeding Mach 5, or five times the speed of sound, rendering them nearly invulnerable to existing missile defense systems. The implications of such advancements are monumental, reshaping military strategies and international security dynamics.
