Since the arrival of F-16 fighter jets from the West to Ukraine, there have been reports that Russia is deploying Su-30SM2 fighter jets to the front line. This move is seen as a direct response to Western countries providing F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine, and the Su-30SM2 fighter jets are also called the "magic weapon" of the Russian army to deal with F-16 fighter jets.

Military observer Zhang Xuefeng introduced that both the Su-30SM2 and F-16 belong to the fourth generation fighter jets, but the Su-30SM2 belongs to the later model of the fourth generation aircraft, while the F-16A/B belongs to the early model of the fourth generation aircraft. In terms of overall performance, the Su-30SM2 fighter jets are superior to the early model F-16 fighter jets obtained by Ukraine.

Zhang Xuefeng: The Su-30SM2 is a heavy fighter upgraded from the Su-30SM, with upgraded avionics systems and airborne weapons. As the Su-30SM2 fighter uses a three-wing layout and an engine with a thrust vector nozzle, it has very strong maneuverability.
