Military Watch Magazine has highlighted the effectiveness of Russian Su-30SM fighters in countering Ukrainian drones. According to Western journalists, these fighters are not only highly durable and maneuverable, but also boast a powerful radar system with a maximum detection range of 400 km.
The radar integrated into the Su-30SM is one of the largest ever seen on a fighter aircraft, providing exceptional situational awareness of airborne, ground, and naval targets. This capability enables effective targeting of objects beyond the line of sight, as noted by Military Watch Magazine.
Furthermore, the article emphasizes that the Russian fighter is a multirole aircraft, equally efficient in carrying out various mission types.
The Russian Ministry of Defense recently demonstrated the capabilities of the Su-30SM and Su-24M in neutralizing Ukrainian drones off the coast of Crimea. The Black Sea aircraft have successfully downed dozens of Ukrainian drones, according to the information department of the Black Sea Fleet.
Earlier, Ukraine announced the establishment of a Ukrainian fleet of maritime drones.
