Notes
Su-30 FlankerThe Su-30 variant of the Flanker substantially improves the type's capabilities against ground targets. Where the Su-27's fire control system can only manage unguided weapons ("dumb" bombs, rockets, etc.), the Su-30 can carry a wide range of guided air-to-ground ordnance. In addition, the Su-30 is equipped with terrain-following radar, an in-flight refuelling receptacle, and canards to improve its low speed handling.

In game terms, the Su-30 variant is described as follows:
• Add NOE Flyer and Refuelling Intake Perks, remove Annoyance
