The CIA has bought two Soviet super-fighters on the black market of Eastern Europe, the famous Sukhoi Su-30 Flanker. The Flanker jet is hypermaneverable and can shoot down any western jet, even the F-22 Raptor in some circumstances. Russia has been giving these potent weapons to any states that are anti-USA, including Venezuela and China. The jet has even been flown in Paris. The deal is thought to be with Ukraine, where unscrupulous government officials are easily bribed and even sold nuclear capable Kh-55 cruise missiles to Iran and China.
The jets arrived in an unmarked military cargo plane that is not meant to draw attention. But these photos reveal two jets being unloaded and stored in a civilian hanger.
The huge cargo plane was met by police and Secret Service guards in SUVs with blacked out windows.
You can imagine the cameraman's shock when the first Soviet jet emerges. The wings and tail are removed to allow it to fit into the cargo plane.
