Flankers on the Prowl: Russian Su-30 Escort Strike Aircraft During Mission
10:17 GMT 24.12.2015 (Updated: 10:23 GMT 24.12.2015) Unique footage of Russian Aerospace Forces aircraft in action.
Strike aircraft are quite vulnerable to enemy interceptors — that is, unless they have a fighter escort. On this video, you can see how Russian Su-25 strike aircraft proceed to engage ground targets while the Su-30 provide cover.
