Crazy I am afraid you are wrong, Su-33 is the Su-27K aka carrier flanker. (Source: Brasseys World Aircraft AND Janes Aircraft of the World 2000)

Su-35 is the land based version with rearward facing missiles.

Re: Su-32FN... IS the export version the Su-34, they have changed this aircrafts designation so many times even I have lost count! What you are confusing it with is the Su-33UB (Su-27KUB) which as side-by-side modification of a number of Su-33\'s (see picture).



And how good the Su-30 is will be decided this June, India are deploying 6 to France for an exercise... where it will be pitted against everything Europe and America can throw at it.

I deliberately missed out the F-14 as it will be out of service by the end of this year (being replaced by F-18E/F) and the Mig-31 is not seen as a real threat in close combat.
