Su-30 fighter is a multi-role fighter, the fighter is developed from the Su-27 based on, has now achieved exports to overseas countries, the most powerful fighter of the Indian Air Force, is the Su-30MKI fighter from Russia, the fighter in the 2019 India-Pakistan air war with Pakistan, also shot down by Pakistan's F-16 fighter, after Russia launched a special military operation against Ukraine, su-30SM fighter also participated, However, today's Su-30 has performed quite badly on the battlefield, including many Su-30SM fighters among the 88 military aircraft shot down by Russia.
According to the news reported by the Ukrainian media, during the Russian war against Ukraine, a Su 30SM fighter has been shot down by the Ukrainian side, because the Russian army has destroyed a large number of Ukrainian anti-aircraft missile systems, so the biggest threat to Russia at present is the Stinger shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missile, this type of shoulder-resistant anti-aircraft missile, the maximum range is not more than 6000 meters, so it can only pose a threat to low-altitude targets, but the Su-30SM fighter is destroyed by this shoulder-resistant anti-aircraft missile. In addition to the Su-30SM fighter, the Soviet-34 fighter-bomber, which Russia is proud of, was also destroyed by shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles.
An important reason why the Su-30SM fighter and the Su-34 fighter-bomber were destroyed by shoulder-resistant anti-aircraft missiles is that russian fighters have been flying at low altitudes, because Russia has not used a large number of precision-guided weapons to strike at targets, but has used free-fall bombs, low-resistance missiles and rockets to strike ground targets, which means that if the fighter wants to complete high-precision strikes, it must be in a state of low-altitude penetration, and in the face of multiple shoulder-resistant anti-aircraft missiles, The missile approach warning system of the fighter aircraft will not be alarmed at all, and all rely on the pilot to find the missile with the naked eye, and then shoot the infrared jamming bomb, which is an important reason for Russia's loss of as many as 9 military aircraft that day.
Whether it is a Su-30SM fighter or a Su-34 fighter, it can only warn radar-guided missiles and anti-aircraft missiles with fire-controlled radar, and the Stinger health missile uses infrared guidance, and these two fighters do not have the ability to warn of infrared-guided missiles, so only when the pilot throws infrared decoy bombs when the missiles are coming, there is a chance to dodge.
Russia has suffered a lot of losses in this battle, the Russian Naval Aviation and the pilots of the Air Force Aviation have been captured or killed continuously, including the Soviet 34 fighter of the 21st Aviation Division of the Russian Air Force, the 2nd Guards Regiment su34 fighter, Russia's loss has also given China a wake-up call, at present, the Chinese J-16 fighter, has been equipped with a large number of precision-guided weapons, although in daily training there is the use of rockets to shoot targets, but in actual combat conditions, it is necessary to achieve a long-distance minimum strike to ensure safety.
