Berdasarkan pada pesawat trainer dua-tempat duduk Su-27UB dan pada awalnya dikenal sebagai Su-27PU, Su-30 adalah pesawat tempur presisi jarak-jauh yang similar dengan F-15E Eagles. Walaupun mempertahankan kemampuan interceptor udara-ke-udara dari Su-27, Model awal Su30 dan Su-30K dioptimasi untuk misi enduransi panjang 10 jam atau lebih. Pesawat jenis ini dilengkapi dengan sistem radiolocation yang memungkinkan pelacakan hingga 10 target dalam waktu bersamaan. Fitur ini membuat Su-30 cocok sebagai pemimpin pesawat tempur taktis sebagai target buruan dari pesawat musuh. Varian ini selanjutnya digabungkan dengan model Su-30M multi-peran yang mempunyai kemampuan penyerangan darat presisi dengan membawa misil dan bom kendali canggih.
Sukhoi juga secara aktif menjual model ekspor Su-30MK, yang telah dibeli dengan jumlah besar oleh India (Su-30MKI) dan China (Su-30MKK, Su-30MK2). Pesawat milik India secara umum lebih baik dari pada seluruh varian Su30 lain dan memiliki "canard" dan "vectored thrust nozzles" untuk meningkatkan manuverabilitasnya, radar yang lebih baik, dan teknologi avionic yang lebih canggih dari India dan sumber Barat. Rencana saat ini, Au India membutuhkan 230 pesawat Su-30MKI dan sekitar 140 sampai 180 di antaranya mendapat lisensi untuk dibuat di Hindustan Aeronotics Limited di India.
Indonesia juga menunjukkan ketertarikan untuk membeli pesawat model ini, hanya saja pada saat itu terhambat karena keadaan ekonomi dan politik. Negara lain yang berminat berasal dari Asia dan Timur Tengah seperti Malaysia, Vietnam, Algeria dan Syria. Mungkin, konsumen yang paling kontroversial adalah Venezuela yang memesan pesawat ini untuk mengejek AS karena support AS yang jelek untuk pesawat F-16 milik Venezuela.
Untuk Rusia, Su-30 merupakan pelengkap dan pengganti MiG-31 dan Su-27 dan masih merupakan pesawat tercanggih di jajaran AU Rusia. Beberapa upgrade untuk pesawat ini untuk mempertahankan kemampuan pesawat menghadapi pesawat jenis lain direncanakan akan terus berlanjut hingga 2020.
