SU27,SU30,SU33,SU35,SU37,SU47....Sukhoi (Сухой) is a major Russian aircraft manufacturer famous for its fighters. Founded by Pavel Sukhoi in 1939 as the Sukhoi Design Bureau (OKB-51, design office prefix Su), it is currently known as Sukhoi Corporation. It comprises the JSC Sukhoi Design Bureau located in Moscow, the Novosibirsk Aviation Production Association (NAPO), the Komsomolsk-on-Amur Aircraft Production Association (KnAAPO) and Irkutsk Aviation. Sukhoi is headquartered in Moscow. Finmeccanica owns 25% + 1 share of Sukhoi's civil division.[1] The Russian government merged Sukhoi with Mikoyan, Ilyushin, Irkut, Tupolev, and Yakovlev as a new company named United Aircraft Corporation.[2] Specifically, Mikoyan and Sukhoi were placed within the same operating unit.[3]
Currently Sukhoi's Su-24, Su-25, Su-27, Su-30, Su-34, and shipborne Su-33 aircraft are in service with the Russian Air Force and Navy. Sukhoi attack and fighter aircraft have been supplied to Armenia, India, China, Poland, the Czech Republic, Iraq, Slovakia, Hungary, Georgia, East Germany, Syria, Algeria, North Korea, Vietnam, Malaysia, Afghanistan, Yemen, Egypt, Libya, Iran, Angola, Ethiopia, Peru, Eritrea, and Indonesia. Venezuela signed contracts for the purchase of 30 Su-30 fighter jets in July 2006. A total of more than 2000 Sukhoi aircraft were supplied to foreign countries on export contracts. With its Su-26, Su-29 and Su-31 models Sukhoi is also one of the leading manufacturers of aerobatic aircraft.
On August 4, 2006, the US State Department imposed sanctions on Sukhoi for allegedly supplying Iran in violation of the United States Iran Nonproliferation Act of 2000. Sukhoi was prohibited from doing business with the United States Federal Government.[4] In November of 2006, the US State Department reversed its sanctions against Sukhoi.[5]
Russia launched on September 26, 2007, its first modern commercial regional airliner—the Superjet 100, a 78 to 98 seater, built by Sukhoi. It was unveiled at Komsomolsk-on-Amur.[6] The maiden flight was made on May 19, 2008.[7] Sukhoi is also working on what is to be Russia's fifth-generation stealth fighter, the Sukhoi PAK FA. The maiden flight took place on the 29 January 2010.[8] * Su-2 - light bomber aircraft * Su-7 "Fitter" and "Moujik" - ground-attack aircraft * Su-9 "Fishpot" and "Maiden" - interceptor fighter aircraft * Su-11 "Fishpot-C" - interceptor fighter aircraft * Su-15 "Flagon" - 1967, interceptor fighter aircraft * Su-17/Su-20/Su-22 "Fitter" - ground-attack aircraft * Su-24 "Fencer' - 1974, jet bomber, attack aircraft * Su-25 'Frogfoot" - ground attack aircraft * Su-26 - single seat aerobatic aircraft (civil) * Su-27 "Flanker" - 1984 - air superiority fighter * Su-28/Su-25UB - Trainer and Demonstrator * Su-29 - double seat aerobatic aircraft (civil) * Su-30 - 1996, multi-role strike fighter aircraft o Su-30MKI "Flanker-H" - multi-role fighter aircraft o Su-30MK-2 "Flanker-G" - multi-role fighter aircraft o Su-30MKK "Flanker-G" - strike-fighter aircraft * Su-31 - single seat aerobatic aircraft (civil) * Su-33 "Flanker-D" - 1994, carrier-based multi-role fighter aircraft * Su-34/Su-32 "Fullback" - 2006, "Platypus", Strike-fighter aircraft * Su-27M/Su-35 "Flanker-E" - 1995, air superiority fighter aircraft o Su-35BM - 4++ generation multirole fighter aircraft * Su-25TM/Su-39 - ground attack aircraft, optimised for anti-tank use * Su-80 - a twin-turboprop STOL transport aircraft * Superjet 100 - regional jet * Irkut MS-21 - narrow-body jet airliner
