في السنوات الاخيرة يبدو ان هناك مخطط لرفع قدرات السودان الجوية واهم اسستحواذ له هو طائرات سوخوي-24 القاصفة المقاتلة-شبيهه بالتورنيدو- و هناك خطط لشراء سوخوي 30 مسترجعه من الهند لروسيا و حولت فيما بعد لروسيا البيضاء لاسباب قانونية
In recent months, Khartoum has embarked on an unprecedented military buildup, mainly of its air power. The key weapon systems are being purchased from Belarus. Most important is the acquisition of 12 refurbished Su-24Ms (four to six of them already supplied) and 18 refurbished Su-30MKs (originally leased by India from Russia but returned to Belarus for the legal reason that the Russian Air Force cannot operate them).
Sudan was also negotiating the acquisition of another batch of secondhand Su-25s to augment the existing fleet of 11 Su-25s (out of 14 originally purchased from Belarus).

Belarus has a large arsenal of high-quality combat aircraft which was put on sale for hard currency. A total of 35 to 36 Su-24Ms were withdrawn from service in February 2012, and the remaining 22 to 23 Su-24Ms are available for purchase. As well, 17 Su-27P and 4 Su-27UBM1 fighters were withdrawn from service in December 2012 and also put for sale. The Belarus Air Force also has around 20 Su-25s stored in Lida.
Khartoum expressed interest in virtually every major combat aircraft available and the main lingering issue is the availability of hard currency.
Sudan is also looking for additional MiG-29s which Belarus cannot offer. Sudan acquired numerous MiG-29s in the last decade. In late 2008, 23 of the MiG-29s were in active service. However, only 11 of these MiG-29s were operational in the first half of 2013.
One MiG-29 was claimed by the South Sudanese air defenses on April 4, 2012. Apparently, the aircraft crash-landed in a Sudanese airbase and was written off. The other 11 MiG-29s were grounded due to maintenance difficulties. Sudan is interested in a large number of MiG-29s and the main candidate source is Ukraine, which has around 100 MiG-29s of various models stored in reserve.
The most important undertaking by the Sudanese Air Force in recent months has been the large scale recruitment of mercenaries — aircrews, technical experts and ground crews — from all over the former Soviet Union. Their main mission is to activate, upgrade, and better utilize the existing arsenal of the Sudanese Air Force (which had suffered both combat and technical damage in recent years). The first visible result is the growing number of MiG-29s which are taking off for test and evaluation flights. The efforts of the ex-Soviet mercenaries have already returned four to six additional MiG-29s to flying status.
