The Sukhoi Su-30MKK (NATO reporting name: Flanker-G) [2] is a modification of the Sukhoi Su-30, incorporating advanced technology from the Sukhoi Su-35 variant. The Su-30MKK was developed by Sukhoi in 1997, as a result of a direct Request for tender between the Russian Federation and China. [3]

The Sukhoi Su-30 (Russian: Сухой Су-30; NATO reporting name: Flanker-C/G/H) is a twin-engine, two-seat supermaneuverable fighter aircraft developed in the Soviet Union by Russia's Sukhoi Aviation Corporation.

While the Su-30 remains in mass production as a lower cost alternative to the more modern and capable Su-35, the F-15’s cost has risen considerably to surpass that of even the stealthy F-35A - making it the most costly American fighter available for export other than those designed for carrier operations.

While the Su-30MK2 is derived from the Su-30MKK, it differs in two key respects. The first is the higher gross weight and stronger undercarriage, including a dual nosewheel, and the second being the integration of additional anti-ship weapons such as the Kh-59MK.

According to the service cycle, the 100 Su-30 fighters of the PLA troops have entered the late service period. They are so strong and powerful, why are they still used on the front line in the southeast?
