Why do the Russians use so many planes that look so similar and seem to do the same thing like the Su-35, Su-30, MiG-30, Su-34? How are these employed?
The Sukhoi Su-30 Su-33 Su-34 and Su-35 All look similar because they are all based on the Su-27 Flanker The Su-27 was developed along side the MiG-29 starting in the late 1970’s to counter the 4th generation
