In 2018, the Russian Air Force continued to expand its fleet with the Su-30SM, a multirole fighter based on the Su-30MKA and Su-30M2 designs. The Su-30SM is equipped with advanced avionics, AESA radar, and air-to-air and air-to-ground weapons, making it highly versatile. It serves in air superiority, strike, and reconnaissance roles, capable of conducting complex missions under various conditions. The Su-30SM is primarily used by the Russian Air and Space Force, bolstering its capability to project power regionally. In 2018, the aircraft's integration into frontline squadrons marked an important step in Russia's modernization of its air fleet.
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 refuelling 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. © Copyright 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc.
