Su-24
The Fencer is no longer in production and the Russian air force intends to replace the aircraft in certain roles with the Su-27IB (Su-34). Some 900 Su-24 Fencers were produced for the former Soviet air force. The aircraft entered service with the air force in 1975. Along with upgraded strike variants, a dedicated reconnaissance model, the Su-24MR, was produced in considerable numbers. An EW variant, the Su-24MP, however, proved less successful, with only around a dozen manufactured.
Su-25
The latest version of the Su-25, the Su-25TM (Su-39), is now under development, and is a further modification of the Su-25T. Several prototype Su-25TM aircraft have so far been completed. These aircraft are believed to have modified Su-25Ts, some 12 of which be built. One Su-25TM is being used for Kopyo-25 radar trials at the Ahktubinsk test centre. The radar is carried in a pod under the fuselage centreline. Sukhoi has also considered looking at modifying the nose to accommodate a radar.
Su-27
China has received 50 Su-27s, delivered in two batches, and has reached an outline agreement with Russia on eventual licence production of the aircraft. A third batch of aircraft are now being built at Komsomolsk.
The Russian navy's carrier air arm is equipped with Su-27Ks (T-10K), with moveable foreplanes, folding wings and tailplane, strengthened landing gear and an arrestor hook. These aircraft provide the Kuznetsov aircraft carrier with air defence, although without radar modifications, they cannot be used in the maritime-strike role.
Su-27M (Su-35)
Sukhoi's Su-27M programme was intended effectively as a mid-life update to the basic Flanker. The latest prototype to be shown publicly, aircraft 711, is fitted with thrust-vectoring nozzles. The Russian air force has so far failed to order the Su-27M and the pace of development has been leisurely. At least two pre-production models of the aircraft are at the air force's Ahktubinsk test centre. The Su-27M is intended to be fitted with an NIIP phased-array radar.
Su-30/Su-30MK
The Su-30 project was intended to provide the Su-27 with a fighter-controller aircraft, capable of handing off targets to other aircraft via a datalink. The Su-30 was designed for the Soviet air-defence forces, and a handful of the aircraft have been delivered.
Eight Su-30s have been delivered to India in the first stage of the country's four-phase Su-30MKI programme. The full MKI specification, with thrust-vectoring and a phased- array radar, is more akin to the thrust-vectoring variant of the Su-27M than the basic Su-30.
Su-27IB (Su34/Su-32FN)
The Sukhoi Su-27IB, the two-seat, side-by-side, strike variant of the Flanker interceptor, was first exhibited at Minsk in February 1992. At least six aircraft are being flown, with several more under construction. The airframe is also likely to form the basis of both Su-27R reconnaissance and Su-27IBP fighter-bomber/escort-jammer projects.
S-32/S-37
Sukhoi Flew the prototype of a forward-swept-wing/canard fighter in September 1997. The development of the S-32 may have been carried out under the auspices of a technology-demonstrator project, rather than as a fighter project for the Russian air force.
With the Mikoyan-designed Article 1.42 reduced at best to a demonstrator project, should it ever fly, Sukhoi is pushing its S-32 as a candidate to meet any future Russian air force fighter requirement.
T-60S
Sukhoi has been working on an intermediate-range bomber design for over two decades. The T-60S, the latest iteration of this project, is a design for an 80-100t-class aircraft.
S-54/S-55
Sukhoi continues to offer the S-54 advanced jet-trainer design, as well as the S-55 lightweight fighter design.
