Oddly enough, sukhoi also means "dry" in Russian. I wouldn't be surprised if it has Central Asian roots (digressing).

Sukhoi OKB is a Russian aircraft design bureau-turned corporation based in Moscow. It was started in 1939 by Pavel Sukhoi, but didnt really make a mark until the cold war. Up until the 1970s, most sukhoi aircraft were ugly as hell and unremarkable performers that were also cheap, easy to maintain, and pretty rugged. Currently Sukhoi pretty much dominates the Russian Fighter craft industry, with their Su-27"Flanker" and all its countless derivatives. It also helps that Sukhoi corp has pretty heavy political connections. Theyre expected to produce a new fighter called the PAK-FA for Russia and India in the next few years.
Sukhoi aircraft include the
Su-7 Fitter

Su-24 Fencer
Su-25 Frogfoot

They praise Sukhoi like a god and say any jet they made was the best jet ever made. these people say that the su57 is the best stealth fighter even being disproven multiple times in a row
