The Sukhoi Su-30MKA, NATO reporting name Flanker-H, is a twinjet multirole air superiority fighter developed by Sukhoi for the Algerian Air Force. It is a heavy, all-weather, long-range fighter based on the Indian Su-30MKI III and is the second adaptation of that design after the Malaysian Su-30MKM. Development began after Algeria signed a deal with Russia in 2006 for 28 Su-30MKA fighters, and the aircraft was tailored to Algerian requirements with Indian systems and avionics and French sub-systems. The first Russian-made aircraft was accepted into the Algerian Air Force in 2007. Deliveries were interrupted by a dispute over defective MiG-29 airframes and then resumed, and further orders followed in 2015 and 2019. The Algerian Air Force had 63 Su-30MKAs in inventory as of December 2023.
