Caught my attention today.. Apparently an Su-27UB or early Su-30K.. If that’s a PS job, then admittedly it’s very well done..
I am puzzled.. :confused:

Just saying, but the landing gears and overall contour from 0:12… Will such thing happen for an ordinary video imaging or processing is something I’m not sure of, but it does look strange.

I already got few responses that the video is fake.. well, it’s quite well made then, I have to say..

It is hardly to distinguish position of IRST, but it have single nose wheel. There are not many early Su-30 around. 18 ex-Indian Su-30K are in Belarus and 12 of them are sold to Angola. Most probably it is Su-27UB. Is this video real? Difficult to say. Iran could buy some second hand. I know Uzbekistan is selling them, Belarus also retire their Su-27 fleet, maybe even from Ukraine, which is also well known for corruption. China is also retiring their early Su-27 batches. Considering, that Iran made a decision to buy Su-30 fighters, buying some Su-27UB jets would make sense as pilots could become familiar with Flankers before they get their first Su-30 and their transition to new Su-30 fighters would be easier.
