The story
The Su-30 is a twin-seat, twin-engine multirole development of the Flanker, often with thrust-vectoring nozzles for extreme agility. It's the backbone fighter for several major air forces.
Thrust-vectoring versions can swivel their engine nozzles to pull maneuvers that would stall a conventional fighter.
