Sukhoi Su-30KN is a multirole fighter aircraft upgrade the development of long range fighter interceptor Su-30K, manufactured by Irkut Corporation jointly with Sukhoi Design Bureau and the Russian Air Force, which was certified in 2002.
Su-30KN able to complete a variety of combat missions at significant distances, the environmental conditions and bad weather, both day and night.
The Irkut Corporation is deeply INVOLVED in development of upgrades Programmer for the fourth generation fighters operational. Implementation of in-depth upgrade of the Su-30K long-range fighter-interceptor jointly with Sukhoi Design Bureau and Russia's Air Force resulted in development of the Su-30KN multirole combat aircraft, which was certified in 2002. The Su-30KN is capable of accomplishing a wide variety of combat missions at significant distances from the home base, in any weather conditions and severe jamming environment, both by day and night.
The Su-30KN features enhanced combat effectiveness due to additional equipment, such as navigation system compatible with GLONASS and NAVSTAR systems, and additional computers. Besides, the low / medium / high-resolution mapping capabilities are Introduced into the on-board radar, and two MFI-55 multifunctional color displays (instead of line-of-sight indicators) are installed to the cockpit, to Ensure tactical information presentation on the surface radar map. The upgrade can be performed at the customer's site at minimal expenses.
Fully suited for operations in adverse weather conditions and severe jamming environment, both by day and night, the Su-30KN aircraft is capable of performing:
offensive / defensive counterair tasks to ATTAIN superiority and maintain water while engaging aerial targets at short / long distances in free aerospace and against the background surface; a variety of combat tasks counterland Including high-precision strikes against high-priority targets at tactical and operational depth, suppression of hostile air defense with anti-radiation missiles, and close air support of friendly units with guided / unguided air-to-ground Weaponry ; countersea tasks to engage and Defeat separate ships and ship groupings beyond the reach of anti-aircraft Reviews their means.
The Su-30KN features enhanced combat effectiveness due to:
high flight performance and Maneuverability inherited from the base of the platform; expanded information capabilities of upgraded avionics suite; ability to employ a wide set of air-to-surface and air-to-air high-precision weapons; ability to Interact with other aircraft while carrying out Similar missions in the group; Data exchange capability with ground command posts and ground / shipborne / seashore missile strike means. The aircraft is Able to perform covert "radar-silenced" approach and automatic location of the targets, Thus dramatically improving combat mission success probability.
To perform counter-air / land / sea tasks, the multirole Su-30KN is Able to employ:
