The twin-engine air superiority fighter Sukhoi Su-27K ‘Sea Flanker,‘ later renamed Su-33, is the carrier-based variant of the renowned Sukhoi Su-27. This naval version, while retaining the Su-27's exceptional operational performance and striking aerodynamic design, was developed and engineered to operate from the Russian Navy's aircraft carriers. To fulfill this role, the aircraft underwent structural modifications to strengthen its airframe and landing gear, making it suitable for naval operations, including the addition of an arrestor hook. The newly designed folding wings also optimized storage capacity within carrier hangars. Initial operational activities took place in the mid-1990s aboard the Admiral Kuznetsov.
