The Russian Su-30 fighter was turned into the executioner of aircraft carriers.

The Russian Su-4SM generation 30 ++ fighter was turned into a real executioner of aircraft carriers - one such aircraft will be enough to completely disable any existing combat ship, which is facilitated by the appearance in its armament of a cruise missile similar to the Kh-32, specially created in order to fight the enemy aircraft carrier strike groups.

“Russia plans to equip its heavy Su-30 fighters with the new Kh-32 long-range anti-ship cruise missile. According to experts, the missile will seriously improve the strike capabilities of the aircraft, which will turn into the best "ship hunter" in the world. The American magazine "Military Watch Magazine" writes about it. The Su-30 is now produced in Russia in larger numbers than any other type of fighter jet. Along with the newer and more expensive Su-35 and Su-57, the improved modifications of the Su-30 will form the basis of the country's air force for many years to come. The latest version of this Su-30SM aircraft is considered one of the most functional heavy-weight fighters in the world. Although the fighter is already popular in many countries, the X-32 missile could seriously increase its export appeal - especially for maritime powers such as India, Vietnam and Indonesia. ", - about it сообщает Russian edition "Reporter".

Previously, only long-range and strategic bombers were armed with X-32 missiles, however, thanks to its use on a fourth generation fighter, only a few combat aircraft will be enough to deal with an enemy aircraft carrier strike group.

“The existing air defense and missile defense systems in service with the United States are not even enough to repel a subsonic cruise missile strike with guaranteed accuracy, however, when it comes to an anti-ship missile flying just a few meters above the water at a speed close to hypersonic, none the ship will not have a chance to repel such an attack ", - the analyst notes.
