The primary advantage of the Russian SU-30 being able to hold position in mid-air is designed to make the SU-30 a quickly deployed gun platform for firing on their civilian population to quell coups and "keep order." This ability will increase sales to Third World nations where a tiny minority oppresses the majority population. This capability was developed to meet a need the Russian military believed they needed in Chechnya. A platform which is stealthier and faster moving than a helicopter. Altitude provides adequate protection in these situations where you know your civilians are armed with handguns and rocks. .
