I'm pretty sure there is a carrier version of the Su-27 (Su-33 IIRC) that would also be part of the complement of aircraft.

As the article states "Russia currently only has one aircraft carrier at its disposal, the Admiral Kuznetsov, which was built in 1985 and is powered by steam turbines" carrying about 30 aircraft. This article talks about plans for a 100,000 ton Nimitz or Ford class nuclear powered carrier with 90 aircraft.
