The Su-30 is definitely part of the Su-27 Flanker fighter family that has spawned countless variants over the years. The Su-30 SM "Flanker-H", however, is a variant that is an attempt by Sukhoi to combine each into one dominant model built for the Russian Air Force.
Despite the fact that the Su-30 SM did not perform as well as expected in Ukraine, the aircraft's range is now so large globally that it is likely to continue to be used by both Russia and its global partners.
