Mayday! Russian jet sees off the Red Arrows

They may be called the Red Arrows but the RAF’s aerial acrobatics team has nothing to do with the Russians.

Britons who spotted a government post online promoting the flying squad today may have been confused, however, to see that it displayed the silhouette of a Russian fighter jet. The Department for International Trade used a picture of a Sukhoi Su-30 or 33 rather than the BAE Hawk T1 that the RAF pilots fly. The former is twice the length and a very different shape.


There's probably a company in the USA which operates Sukhoi types for ACT like they do Migs.
