Build up to WW3 – Russian Military Base Near Ukraine Border Gets New Sukhoi Su-33 FIGHTER JETS
June 19 2014
These bombers veered from Alaska and to within 50 miles of the California coast just recently. What is going on? Why were they allowed in our air space unchallenged?! Is Putin flaunting his power? These fighter jets have superior capabilities. Is America still a superpower?
The Sukhoi Su-33 (Russian: Сухой Су-33; NATO reporting name: Flanker-D) is an all-weather carrier-based air defence fighter designed by Sukhoi and manufactured by KnAAPO. It is a derivative of the Su-27 “Flanker” and was initially known as the Su-27K. First used in operations in 1995 aboard the carrier Admiral Kuznetsov,[N 1] the fighter officially entered service in August 1998, by which time the designation “Su-33″ was used. Following the break-up of the Soviet Union and the subsequent downsizing of the Russian Navy, only 24 aircraft were produced. Attempted sales to China and India fell through.
