Historical Description and Use

The SU-33UB Flanker is a specialized, two-seat version of the carrier-based interceptor SU-33, which was developed in the late 1980s and early 1990s for the Russian Navy. This aircraft is designed for carrier operations, mainly from Russia’s flagship vessel—Admiral Kuznetsov. The UB variant allows for pilot training as well as combat missions, providing improved navigation and control capabilities, especially in challenging maritime conditions. The SU-33 was used, among others, in military operations in the Mediterranean as part of the Russian air support for Syria.
