Part-Efficient Aircrafts~!!

I've finally made a new post! But still I can't guarantee if I could be more often to build and post. Especially I've missed so many challenges and other fun stuffs thanks to my busy times in real life, and now I'm still busy of course, and rarely got a spare time.

An entry for Modern Fighter Challenge (Novaran Edition)

The Sukhoi Su-33 (NATO reporting name: Flanker-D) is a Soviet/Russian all-weather carrier-based twin-engine air superiority fighter designed by Sukhoi and manufactured by Komsomolsk-on-Amur Aircraft Production Association, derived from the Su-27 and initially known as the Su-27K. Compared with the Su-27, the Su-33 has a strengthened undercarriage and structure, folding wings and stabilators, all for carrier operations. The Su-33 has canards, and its wings are larger than the Su-27 for a slower stall speed. The Su-33 has upgraded engines and a twin nose wheel, and is air refuelable.

First used in operations in 1995 aboard the aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov, the fighter officially entered service in August 1998, by which time the designation "Su-33" was used. Following the break-up of the Soviet Union and the subsequent downsizing of the Russian Navy, only 24 aircraft were produced. Attempted sales to China and India fell through. With plans to retire the Su-33 once they reach the end of their service life, the Russian Navy ordered the MiG-29K as a replacement in 2009.

Siren War Lore

The Su-33s are most frequently used by the Red Bear Federation naval air force to assist the allied force against the siren fighters. The last surviving Monarchii Royal Navy was rumoured to acquire a handful of Su-33s to being operated above the MRNS Tsuchii Yuusha Supercarrier. The Celestial Empire People's Naval Air Force also utilize Su-33s under their own license built variant known as the "J-15 Flying Shark", being operated on their fleets of aircraft carriers.
