Introduce of Su-30

Su-30 ( NATO reporting name : "Flanker-C" ) is a fighter multifunction developed by aerospace company Sukhoi of Russia and put into operation in 1996 . It is a supersonic speed multi-role fighter that can handle both air superiority and attack missions (ground attack, sea surface).

This is a modernized version of the Su-27UB and there are several other versions available. The Su-30K and Su-30MK series both have commercial successes. The difference in the name is due to the versions produced by two competing subsidiaries - KnAAPO and Irkut , both under the control of the Sukhoi Group . KnAAPO produces Su-30MKK and Su-30MK2, which are designed and sold to China and Vietnam . Irkut produces the multi-functional long-range Su-30MK series, which includes the Su-30MKI , a model aircraft developed for the Indian Air Force and designs from the Su-30MKI, such as the Su-30MKM, and the Su-30MKA. are exported exclusivelyMalaysia , Algeria .

History

The Su- 30 never fought in a real war. However, it has proven to be capable in drills with a very high win rate, even against advanced Western fighters such as the F-15 Eagle , F-16 Falcon , Eurofighter Typhoon .. .

In 2002, the experts of the American magazine Aviation Week & Space Technology Mr. David A. Fulghum and Douglas Barrie stated their analysis that "Every time the Su-30MK beat the F-15C (Su-30MK Beats F-15C Every Time) ) , which states that, during aerial exercises over St Louis (a Boeing test flight facility), the Su-30 prevailed over the F-15 due to its maneuverability. his high.

At the Cope India 2004 exercise , the Indian Air Force 's Su-30MKI (IAF) fighters performed test exercises against the US Air Force's (USAF) F-15C fighters. The staggering result was 9: 1 in favor of the Indian pilots (1 Su-30MKI could swap 9 F-15s). A US Air Force officer said that the Indian pilot controlled the Su-30MKI to maneuver the " Pugachev Cobra ", reducing the speed to zero in a matter of seconds, causing the radar to be on the battlefield American fighters lost track of their opponents, and that was enough time for the Su-30 to destroy the F-15.

The Americans explained that the rules of the game limit their ability to win. The Indian side took 18 aircraft (including 6 Su-30MKI and 12 MiG-21 Bison) to fight 6 US F-15Cs and the Indian side also asked the US not to use AESA radar. . The US has also not simulated out-of-sight (BVR) firing (due to India's request not to use the AMRAAM long-range missile ), and the Indians sent their most experienced pilots to fight against Americans while the US side chose a standard squadron with a combination of experienced and inexperienced pilots. The US pilot also said that another aircraft of the opponent is also very formidable with the F-15C is the MiG-21.Bison, an upgraded version of the Russian-made MiG-21, due to its low radar exposure, high speed and versatility

The second Cope India 2004 exercise featured Su-30K aircraft , the old version of the NIIP N001 radar for the first generation of the Su-27/30. This time, both sides are simulated to fire out-of-field missiles (BVR) to take advantage of all the radar capabilities. Although the Su-30K has a much lower tactical specification compared to the Su-30MKI , the aircraft still exhibits effective combat capabilities compared to the US F-15C. The Su-30's dominance of up to 90% in close combat is not a big surprise, as the aerodynamic features of the Su-30 are superior to the F-15. However, the Su-30K was a surprise as it also dominated mid-range out-of-sight (BVR) aerial battles against the F-15C. Indian pilots, using all the technical capabilities of the N001 radar, won when deciding to launch medium-range missiles in guidance mode to attack multiple targets at once. Failure in both action (ranged and melee) against the Su-30K prompted the US to accelerate the construction of the F-22 Raptor

In 2005, the Su-30K continued its exercises with French mixed fighters including the Mirage 2000 C, Mirage 2000-5, and Mirage 2000N as part of the Garuda-II. According to French sources, the Su-30K performed a better interceptor mission than the Mirage-2000? and lost less than the newer Mirage-2000-5 with RDY radar. In close-range aerial battles, the Su-30K won convincingly.

During the 2005 Cope India exercise , the US Air Force's Inside Air Force bulletin later gave astonishing numbers: Su-30MKI , MiG-27 , MiG-29 and even MiG-21 ( The Indian Air Force's Bison) modifications have won high scores against the main aircraft of the US Air Force, the F-15C / D Eagle and. In particular, the Su-30MKI won the majority of battles with both the F-16 and the F-15 of the US Air Force. Washington ProFile has called the success of Russian jets "a complete surprise" for American pilots.

During the 2006 Indra Dhanush Air Force exercise , there were the Su-30MKI and Tornado F3 interceptors . Both sides agreed not to publish the results of the air battles, but according to the British pilot's comment, the Indian side allowed test flight on the Su-30MKI, which is more than the aircraft of English on tactical features .

After the 2008 Red Flag air force exercises in the United States, the prestigious British aviation magazine Flight organized its website readers to choose the best fighter in the world from a list of three candidates. leading the way are the Su-30MKI , F-15 and F-22 Raptor . As a result, the Su-30MKI was voted as the best fighter in the world, more than the 4th generation F-15 fighter and the 5th generation fighter F-22 when it got 59%. number of votes; compared with 37% of the F-22 and 4% of the F-15.

According to Simha, the US pilots' weakness in drills is also due to their aging tactics, which have been used in dogfight since the Cold War . During this exercise, an American colonel highlighted some of the Su-30's shortcomings such as poor performance in 1-on-1 combat with the F-15 that after a few days, India does not want to. "1 vs 1" more. However, the US colonel was confused about some of his claims, including the Su-30MKI engine and the Mig-21's radar, perhaps based on old data at in the library

In April 2012, during the multinational air combat training in Malaysia, the Su-30MKM won successively against other aircraft that participated in air combat training. In a training situation, the Su-30MKI had to fight the US Air Force's F-15C that took off from Japan's Okinawa base to intercept it. two types of aircraft conducting air combat and Su-30MKI shot down F-15C target. The commander of the US 18th Air Squadron admired the Su-30MKI for its excellent maneuverability and combat capabilities compared to its class aircraft.

In July 2015, during the exercises in the UK, the Su-30MKI fighters of the Indian Air Force (IAF) conducted test battles against the Eurofighter Typhoon fighters of the British Air Force . The score was 12: 0 in favor of the Indian pilots (12 Eurofighter Typhoon were "shot down" while the Su-30 MKI had no damage). 1 situations in combat, Su-30MKI has 1 unit against 2 the Eurofighter Typhoon at once, and it was shot down both the .

On November 10-19, 2014, the Uganda Air Force dispatched four Sukhoi Su-30MK2 aircraft to Juba International Airport in South Sudan to support the Sudanese People's Liberation Army (SPLA) against the rebels.

At around 9:07 on September 17, 2015, a Su-30 fighter jet of the Venezuelan Air Force carrying two pilots, Ronald Ramirez and Jackson Garcia, crashed to the ground near the border with Colombia while intercepting smugglers' aircraft. drug.

Russian Ministry of QP confirmed on October 1, 2015 that Russia sent more than 50 Russian Air Force fighters and helicopters, including four Sukhoi Su-30SMs, to the base in Latakia , Syria to support the Syrian government army. SAA (Syrian Arab Army) against Islamic State forces claiming ISIS. Russian Su-30SMs will undertake air strikes of targets on the ground, provide air protection for Su-25 and Su-24 attackers and prevent foreign aircraft from entering the air. Syria in the midst of a civil war in Syria that erupted in 2011 between the army of Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad ( Russia 's allyin the Middle East) and rebel forces including the Free Syrian Army (FSA), Al-Nursa (a branch of Al-Qeada in Syria) backed by the US and the West have not shown signs of ending.
