Su-30SM2 is a modification of the Su-30SM fighter. The aircraft received the N035 Irbis radar and new AL-41F-1S engines from the Su-35S.

The main weapon of the Su-30SM2 crew is the long-range R-37M missile. The range of use against high-altitude targets is up to 280 km, and low-altitude targets is up to 200–220 km.

The fighter is also armed with new concrete-piercing aerial bombs. The ammunition is dropped by parachute, then they separate from the parachutes and fly down. But the bombs do not explode immediately after falling, but literally "dig" into the ground and only then detonate.

Earlier www1.ru reported that the world's largest Mi-26T helicopter was mothballed after 12 years of storage.
