Naval military aircraft produced by Russian firm Sukhoi in 1982 for aircraft carriers. It is a derivative of the Su-27 'Flanker' and was initially known as the Su-27K. The main difference from the Su-27 is that Su-33s can operate from aircraft carriers. Unlike the Su-27, the Su-33 are capable of aerial refueling.

  • no offence, but f15 ...

    no offence, but f15 eagles, are amazing, not to mention f-22's. besides, shooting down a plane with aa is not impressive, its aa, its MENT to do that. And waht the most manuverable plane on earth right now? the f-22 maybe? also, jsf's land vertically, as you can see, landing a plane vertically is easy, all other planes do it

    It's obvious that we are both patriotic to our countries,and each of us thinks that our stuff is superior to the other,including women,cars,etc.Nothing I say will change your mind,and you probably feel likewise.I do like your Vodka,though;)

    I've heard of those events and admit that the Mig-15 was better in many aspects than the F86It could fly higher and was slightly faster at level flight,but that was countered by our gun sights and some other factors.We still ended up downing around 380 to the 80 lost

  • Wow, really, 1 F-16 ...

    Wow, really, 1 F-16 and 1 F117, incredible. Compared to the migs we shot down that's nothing. What is the ratio, like 200:1. We crippled the Serbian Air defenses in the blink of an eye. The F-117 isn't meant to be a fighter, BTW. It's more of an attack plane. It did a splendid job in Iraq taking down their defenses.I'm sick of reading your Russian fan boy crap. You just can't accept the fact that the US planes have and always will dominate over yours.

  • Wrong - F-15's in ...

    Wrong - F-15's in the US, not Israel, have shot down 5 Iraqi Mig 29's,7 F-1's,8 Mig 23's, 2 Mig 21's,1 II-76,2 Su 25,3 Su7/17,2 Su22, 2 Mig 25, 4 Serb Mig 29's; Israel 15's have shot down 80-92 Fishbeds and several Foxbats. The F-16's have shot down 2 Mig 29's (1 US, 1 Dutch). Israel F-16 have shot down over 40 Syrian Migs, mostly Floggers.

    That's not true, and YOU can believe what you want. Historically back to the Korean War we have shot down many more Migs than visa-versa. We're not afraid of anything. That's why we invited India and its Su-30MKI fighters to Redflag in August of this year. It s/b interesting.

    It wasn't joke it was the tender exercises. It was the question of the military credibility and billions of dollars.
    You may tell the stories which you want. But in fact, you have always refused our suggestions to make the training air combats with our warcrafts. What are you afraid of?

  • I agree that ...

    I agree that Russian planes are cheaper and a great plane for the buck. But I've read many articles that the planes aren't very reliable, and that's one of the reasons why Russian pilots don't get much flight time. I haven't heard that the whole world thinks Russian planes are the best, either. I have read that the F22 is very reliable, and has low maintenance. When they recently flew in Redflag they had over a 95% success sortie rate. Unheard of for prior US standards.

  • Of course, each ...

    Of course, each superpower have its own opinion about superiority of its military technology. But don't forget about the rest of the World.
    The whole World (except Americans and Brits) considers Russian military planes are the best - effective, cheaper, reliable - the main enginery factors during the warfare and American planes, on the contrary, are too expensive, difficult and unreliable, it's a fact. Ask someone else, not Russians nor Americans.

    OpelGTC,I didn't say American planes don't have their problems.I said that a fully operational Mig 23 wasn't all cracked up to what was advertised by Russia.All planes have their maintenance issues.That's why we retired the F-14.You knock the F-22 yet your country is so desperate with India to build a stealth plane that looks like it.Your radar isn't as advanced as AESA, but I will give you credit that you have very good missiles. In a dogfight, I think your planes are great, but not at BVR.

    You are dreaming,do you know how much USA struggled to make those F-22?They wanted 500pieces,now 200?Why?And why doesn't USA pay it's debts,rather than making other fighters jets full of errors,just like Craptor and F-117?F-15 was the best that USA had to offer.

  • You Russian poster ...

    You Russian poster boys always claim your stuff is better. The Russians are known for bragging about their equipment. Just look at the Mig 23 that the US got when your pilot defected to Japan. It didn't have nearly the balls your country claimed. And, the Mig 29's we tested in Germany when the wall came down, they can't handle sustained g's, and it took pressing 15-20 buttons to launch a missle vs. the US of just one. Keep talking, your opinions carry no weight.

    RussianPower666, I can always count on you for a good laugh. The Su50 is an attempt by your sorry ass to copy the F22. Copies never are as good as the real thing. Just look at how China is trying to copy your jet engines. Nothing but junk. By the time you field a 5th generation plane, we'll have a 6th generation plane in the air that will be unmanned, and therefore can pull more g's, fly higher, faster, farther than anything out there.

  • ronjiort, sorry but ...

    ronjiort, sorry but Cope India was a joke. The F15's used did not have the latest radar, weren't permitted to use BVR or AWACs. The numbers were lopsided agianst the F-15's, from 3-1 ro 6-1 planes against US. We played aggressors, and didn't use US tactics.Also it was widely reported that the US didn't show its best so that the F-22 could get funded.Congress thought the plane cost too much and didn't want to fund it.The USAF used this exercise as an opportunity to get the plane they wanted.

    This was only the first amazing revelation. The Inside Air Force official bulletin also discussed this "Russian victory", mentioning even more shocking details. It turns out that F-15C/D Eagle fighters were pitted against Su-30MKI Flanker, as well as Mikoyan-Gurevich Mi-27 Flogger, MiG-29 Fulcrum and even ancient MiG-21 Bison warplanes.
