    The   Sukhoi Su-30   ( Russian :   Сухой Су-30 ;   NATO reporting name :   Flanker-C/G/H ) is a   twin-engine , two-seat   supermaneuverable   fighter aircraft   developed in the   Soviet Union   by Russia's   Sukhoi Aviation Corporation . It is a multirole fighter for all-weather,   air-to-air   and   air-to-surface deep interdiction   missions.
    The Su-30 started out as an internal development project in the   Sukhoi Su-27   family by Sukhoi. The design plan was revamped and the name was made official by the Russian Defense Ministry in 1996. Of the Flanker family, the   Su-27 , Su-30,   Su-33 ,   Su-34   and   Su-35   have been ordered into limited or serial production by the Russian Defense Ministry. The Su-30 has two distinct version branches, manufactured by competing organisations:   KnAAPO   and the   Irkut Corporation , both of which come under the Sukhoi group's umbrella.
    KnAAPO manufactures the   Su-30MKK   and the Su-30MK2, which were designed for and sold to China, and later Indonesia, Uganda, Venezuela, and Vietnam. Due to KnAAPO's involvement from the early stages of developing the   Su-35 , these are basically a two-seat version of the mid-1990s Su-35. The Chinese chose an older but lighter   radar   so the   canards   could be omitted in return for increased payload. It is a fighter with both   air supremacy   and attack capabilities, generally similar to the U.S.   F-15E Strike Eagle .
    Irkut traditionally served the   Soviet Air Defense   and, in the early years of Flanker development, was given the responsibility of manufacturing the Su-27UB, the two-seat trainer version. When India showed interests in the Su-30, Irkut offered the multirole   Su-30MKI , which originated as the Su-27UB modified with avionics appropriate for fighters. Along with its ground-attack capabilities, the series adds features for the air-superiority role, such as   canards ,   thrust-vectoring , and a long-range   phased-array radar . Its derivatives include the Su-30MKM, MKA, and SM for Malaysia, Algeria, and Russia respectively. The Russian Air Force operates several Su-30s and has ordered the Su-30SM variant as well.

    Overview
    The F-15EX is equipped with three complimentary weapons systems that work together to maximize the F-15 EX’s effectiveness. It has a carrying capacity of 22 air-to-air missiles which includes: shorter-range air-to-air AIM-9X Sidewinder that uses infrared to engage with a target; up to 12 AMRAAM missiles which give the EX the ability to detect, target, and engage enemy aircraft at greater distances; and, the Stormbreaker smart weapon that can strike a target at up to 45 miles away regardless of adverse weather conditions. Included in this as a proven capability to defeat drone and missile threats. Additionally, in strike role, the “Eagle II” carries the full inventory of current air to ground weapons, and has the capability to carry future hypersonic weapons. Nicknamed “Eagle II”, the F-15 EX has the capability to carry hypersonic weapons and proven capability to defeat drone and missile threats,  https://missiledefenseadvocacy.org/defense-systems/mcdonnell-douglas-f-15ex/
