By the end of 2021, 120 Su-30 aircraft had been delivered with 18 more on order. 95 aircraft went to the RuASF with 25 to the Navy. The 22 GvIAP, 11th Air and Air Defense Forces Army, Russian Air Force Tsentralnaya Uglovaya (Vladivostok) received 3 Su-30 SM with Blue 45 being one. The 11th Red Banner Air and Air Defense Forces Army is a branch of the Russian Air Force tasked with defending the Russian Far East that covers the Eastern Military District.
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 refueling 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.
