Preorder Expected Arrival - SEP 2024

The Sukhoi Su-30SM Flanker-H is an upgraded variant of the twin-engine, two-seat supermaneuverable fighter aircraft that was initially developed in the late Soviet era as a multirole fighter for all-weather, air-to-air and air-to-surface deep interdiction missions. The Russian Navy Su-30SM are not intended for the Russian aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov but instead, operate from naval aviation bases on land. They have a two-tone dark gray camouflage and bear a St. Andrew's flag (Russian Navy Ensign) painting by the cockpit.

Designed as two-seat multi-role variant of the Su-27, the Su-30 was first flown (as the Su-27PU) on December 31, 1989. The design grew from a Soviet need for a long-range interceptor based on the Su-27 with the addition of a second pilot and retractable in-flight refueling probe. Similar to the F-15E Strike Eagle, the Su-30 is still a highly capable Air Superiority Fighter while an advanced avionics suite make it formidable in the Air-to-Ground Strike Fighter role. The Su-30 has spawned numerous sub-variants, including several designed for the export market.
