The Su-30MK2, operated by the People's Liberation Army Navy Air Force (PLANAF), is a multirole fighter designed for air superiority and ground attack missions. The Su-30MK2 is equipped with advanced avionics, thrust-vectoring engines, and a sophisticated radar system. It enhances the PLANAF's operational capabilities, enabling it to conduct a variety of missions, including air patrol, anti-ship operations, and precision strikes. Its versatility and firepower make it a vital asset for China's naval aviation, ensuring improved regional defense and strategic deterrence in maritime operations.

Designed as two-seat multi-role variant of the Su-27, the Su-30 was first flown (as the Su-27PU) on December 31, 1989. The design grew from a Soviet need for a long-range interceptor based on the Su-27 with the addition of a second pilot and retractable in-flight refuelling probe. Similar to the F-15E Strike Eagle, the Su-30 is still a highly capable Air Superiority Fighter while an advanced avionics suite make it formidable in the Air-to-Ground Strike Fighter role. The Su-30 has spawned numerous sub-variants, including several designed for the export market.

The Su-30MK is a multirole fighter developed by Russia, designed for both air superiority and ground attack missions.

The Su-30MK can carry a wide range of weapons, including air-to-air missiles, guided bombs, and air-to-ground munitions, making it highly versatile in combat. Its twin-seater design enhances coordination during complex missions. Known for its endurance and strike capabilities, the Su-30MK is used by several air forces worldwide, offering a potent mix of firepower, agility, and operational flexibility.
