Kuz has not been to see in an operational state for some time
Apart from other things, such as no budget (see, they got NATO-Standard at last), her Jet Blast Deflectors (JBDs) that pop up behind the jets so they can use 'burner to launch, were defective.
One of them blew apart when the pop-down chocks used as hold backs failed. The Su-33 tovarich didn't want to de-select burner in case the hold backs operated as he would have trundled off the end. So he kept full burner in, the JBD's internal water cooling pipes blew and the 'burners then sprayed the flight deck with hot FOD. Which drew FlyCo's attention to his plight with the pop-chocks.
And the crap JBDs.
