They were able to share the workload for long missions and for this the two seated Su 30 was developed.
The Su 30 was able to do this thanks to an increased amount of composites used in the airframe to save weight.
The Su-32FN is a completely different aircraft to the Su-27 and in many ways owes little to it except for the wing and the basic configuration (ie two engines, two vertical fins and a humped nose!).
-->Das MOdell ist aus einem Grundbaukasten einer SU 27 endstanden.Da ich schon eine SU 27 mit der gleichen größe,sowie der gleichen Motorisierung habe,wollte ich was neues machen.Ich habe mich dazu endschlossen das Modell auf eine SU37 umzubauen.
Der aufbau des Modells ist genau der gleiche wie bei meiner SU 27,deshalb möchte ich darauf gar nicht so genau eingehen.Der entscheidene Baupunkt ist der Umbau der vorne angesteuerten Carnards.
-->Mit dem Umbau auf eine SU37 habe ich wirklich wieder einen Volltreffer gelandet,und ich bin sehr froh darüber das ich mir diese Arbeit angetan habe.
F-22 if is not shot down in BVR mode the Su will have a lot of problem in close combat actually it's not have a lot of possibilities to shot down the Sukhoi..
Su37 comes with FAR superior missiles with thrust vectoring that F22 with its extremely poor manuverability has no chance of avoiding.
The Su37 is THE most manuvarable fighter plane in the world.
Having air to air missiles would be good as a defence for the 52 but it would be stupid to use it as a fighter.
Aircraft such as the SU37 demonstrate a technological ability on the part of the designers.
Certainly the Su is capable of more extreme angles of attack than any other fighter but with average engament ranges between 7000 and 40000 meters this is less important.
Its creator, the Sukhoi group, is considered to be Russia's premier combat aircraft producer.
Sukhoi currently produces a family of topnotch operational fighters and fighter-bombers all based on the very agile and powerful Su- 27 air superiority fighter.
Test flights have been successful so far, with Sukhoi claiming that the S- 37 has made more than 120 flights.
The T10 was the 143rd aircraft he had piloted, including almost every Soviet type and even the B-25 Mitchell, the Cessna A-37, and the Northrop F-5E.
Blue 10 was immediately spotted by a US reconnaissance satellite, with NATO giving the new type the provisional name of "Ram-K", since Western intelligence did not know the name for the secret Zhukovsky flight center and simply referred to it as "Ramenskoye", a nearby town.
