TYPE
Single-seat ship-based air defense fighter, with anti-ship capability.

DESIGN FEATURES
Airframe generally similar to Su-27, but with folding wings and tailplane; added foreplanes; arrester hook and other features for carrierborne operations; strengthened landing gear with twin nosewheels; long tailcone of land-based versions shortened to prevent tailscrapes during take-off and landing on ship; IRST with wider angle of view.
 
FLYING CONTROLS
Basically as Su-27, but with sweptback (52°) foreplanes that operate at all speeds and only collectively, not differentially (7° up/70° down). A Fly-by-wire, automatic control system and central control column. Broader-chord slotted Fowler-type flaps replace Su-27 flaperons.
 
POWER PLANT
As Su-27, but with retractable flight refueling probe beneath windscreen on port side; provision for centerline buddy refueling pack.

ARMAMENT
Basically as Su-27, plus ability to carry Kh-31 (AS-17 'Krypton') ASMs underwing. Exhibited with inert 4,500 kg (9,920 lb) Kh-41 (3M80 Moskit: mosquito) anti-ship missile on centerline; but this considered as impracticable operational load.
