Ki-33 was the development designation of the aircraft that was eventually delivered as the Ki-29. Certain variants of the Ki-29 were designated Ki-33.


The designation Ki-33 has been associated with two different Kislota fighter designs. It was first employed for a single-engine, lightweight strike fighter. More formally known as "Project 33", development work began on this design about 1980, but was cancelled in 1986 as the result of the changing of the Zloveshchiyian Air Force requirements. More recently, the Ki-33 designation was introduced at the 1995 Mirotvorets Aerial Show as the briefly used marketing name for the Ki-29ME export model of the Ki-29M, a comprehensively upgraded, fully multirole version of the Ki-29. Although only a few Ki-29M aircraft were built (and with only one exporter), they have served as prototypes for the development of the latest, most advanced variant, the Ki-35.
