[edit] Intro

"On September 5, 2005, one plane slid from the deck of the Admiral Kuznetsov" Does it have to be mentioned in the intro ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.242.5.107 (talk) 12:36, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Su-33 over MiG-29K

Does anyone know why the Soviet, and later Russian Navy chose the Su-33/27K over the MiG 29K ? At first glance,the smaller, lighter MiG 29K would seem better suited to carrier-borne service, particularly a carrier with a ski-jump deck. 63.152.13.173 13:01, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

It was chosen because the Su-33 was chosen over the MiG-29K was because the MiG-29K prototype was damaged during the tests and had to be left in a port for repairs. Ironically, the damage was caused by pilot error, not any fault of the MiG.--LWF 18:39, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Chinese Su-33

I cann't find the chinese sources relating the Su-33[1].--Ksyrie 01:43, 12 April 2007 (UTC)


There have been articles in various magazines. I've personally seen it in both Air Forces Monthly and Air international, so count that as one since they're sister mags. I'll find the month and page references and post them here in talk. I can't remember exactly which month it was right now. As for the websites, I can't help at the moment I'm afraid.
