Sukhoi Su-33 Naval Flanker

The Sukhoi Su-33 (NATO reporting name: Flanker-D) is a carrier-based multi-role fighter aircraft produced by Russian firm Sukhoi beginning in 1982. It is a derivative of the Su-27 Flanker and was initially known as the Su-27K. The main differences from the Su-27 are that the Su-33 can operate from aircraft carriers and is capable of aerial refueling.

Russian jets are so powerful and efficient, they dont even need a winch.

@ni1074 f-18's refueling f-18's? That's interesting.

The f-18 is America's best plane, in terms of what they do vs what they cost

the f-35 is shaping up to be an expensive failure

[Duke0Forever]

@kozmon0t 3 types of F-35,and one already failed,still 2 to go

@PuertoRicanVideo The Americans do it as well, steam catapults can't shoot everything off the deck, its not a rare tactic. Your argument is invalid.

[PuertoRicanVideo]

@camwizardoz So the Russians have developed a way to use 2 fighters to do the job of 1 fighter. Yes, my argument is so invalid.

[camwizardoz]

@PuertoRicanVideo I'll give you a summary of an explanation I posted on another video. Often, when its impossible to take off with a full war load, one aircraft full of fuel but no weapons will take off and serve as a tanker, while the weapon-laden warplanes will take off with little fuel and join up with the tankers to fill their tanks. In this manner, they bypass the takeoff weight limit and render your argument invalid.

hihi love russian air force

[PuertoRicanVideo]

@Aikay373 That is cool, but what good is it with no ordinance? Bombs, missiles, fuel tanks, bullets, are kind of critical to the mission. And the american carriers can launch and recover at the same time because they have catapults. Russians cannot.

Hello sukhoi good bye US planes

[Nekr0darkness]

just beautiful....

I like the su-33, might not be as technically advanced as the American F series, but its got that charm about it.
