India and Russia are expected to sign a deal on swapping 18 older Sukhoi Su-30 fighter jets in service with the Indian Air Force for the latest version of the aircraft.

The deal is expected to be inked during parleys to be held here by Defence Secretary Shekhar Dutt, who arrived in Moscow on Friday on a two-day visit.

During his talks with top Russian defence officials, Dutt is also expected to review progress on ongoing long-term military projects including Advanced Technology Vessel (ATV) project for developing indigenous nuclear submarine.
