Originally the Su-27PU the tandem 2-seat Su-30 first flew on 31 December 1989 as a long-range interceptor developed into the Su-30M multi-role aircraft, the Su-30MKI with forward canards followed re-designated Su-33 is the latest carrier-borne version with the outer portion of the wings folding for on-board storage. The Su-33/34 is well-armed and can carry a vast array of weapons but is rarely seen flying as, since its initial cruise on UN blockade operations in the mid-1990s in the Adriatic the Admiral Kuznetsov aircraft carrier rarely leaves port as it still has a number of unresolved problems!?
