The Sukhoi Su-30 is a twin-engine, two-seat, supermaneuverable multirole fighter aircraft developed by Russia's Sukhoi Aviation Corporation. It is designed for air superiority and ground-attack missions under all weather conditions. Introduced in 1996, it evolved from the Su-27, featuring advanced avionics, long-range capabilities (up to 5,200 km with aerial refueling), and exceptional maneuverability for complex aerial combat. Variants like the Su-30MKI, tailored for India's Air Force, incorporate technologies from multiple countries and are pivotal in regional air dominance. Over 630 units have been produced globally.
