Breathtaking flight display of a couple of naval Sukhoi SU-30SM fighter jets with very close-up video scenes. The flight demonstration includes a mock-up or simulacrum of close-quarters dogfight (air combat) that includes post-stall maneuvers, followed by a short solo display. The pilots at the controls are Aleksandr Kharchevskiy and Evgeniy Averyanov (Александр Харчевский и Евгений Аверьянов).

The Su-30SM multirole fighter aircraft (Сухой Су-30CM; NATO reporting name: Flanker-H; SM stands for production, modernized)
was developed by JSC Sukhoi Design Bureau for the Russian Air Force. It is an advanced derivative of the Su-30MK combat aircraft family. It is designed both to gain air superiority and engage ground and surface targets. The aircraft uses canard surfaces and TVC (thrust vector control) engines, a combination that allows the aircraft to perform post-stall, high angle of attack maneuvers that very few fighter jets can match. Its available weapons include a wide range of air-to-air missiles and precision-guided air-to-ground munitions as well as a large-caliber automatic cannon. Being a bi-seater, the Su-30SM can also be used to train pilots to fly advanced single-seat fighter jets. These aircraft have been in production for the Russian Air Force since 2012. The first SU-30SM performed its maiden flight on 21 September 2012.

The 30SM is a specialised version of the thrust-vectoring Su-30MKI and MKM export variants that have been adapted and further modernized for use within the Russian military. It is produced by the Irkut Corporation. Russia's Defence Ministry was impressed with the MKI's envelope and performance so 30 Su-30SMs were ordered for the Russian Air Force in early 2012. A contract for 60 more of the multirole fighter was signed later on. Russia currently has 80 jets of the type in service within its military and some have already seen action for the first time in Syria.

The Su-30SM is considered as 4+ generation fighter jet. The new version has been upgraded based on Russian military requirements for radar, radio communications systems, friend-or-foe identification system, global positioning and inertial navigation systems, ejection seats, weapons, and other aircraft systems. The aircraft is equipped with the Bars-R radar and a wide-angle HUD. The airframe of Su-30SM is made of titanium and high-strength aluminium alloys. The nose of the fuselage houses cockpit, radar sections and avionics bay. The glass cockpit accommodates two pilots in tandem configuration. The open architecture design also allows the integration of further modernized avionics in the future. The Su-30SM is powered by two AL-31FP by-pass turbofan reheated engines that provide a maximum unrefuelled flight range of 3,000km. The aircraft is also equipped with a flight refuelling probe and system.

The multirole Su-30SM can be deployed in counter-air strikes, counter-land and counter-sea missions. It can conduct electronic counter-countermeasures and early warning tasks. The aircraft also acts as a command-and-control platform within a fleet of combat aircraft performing joint missions.
