Historical Background and Fighter Characteristics

Sukhoi Su-27 “Flanker B” was designed by the Sukhoi Design Bureau in the USSR as a response to American air superiority fighters such as the F-15 Eagle. It entered service in the mid-1980s with the aim of ensuring air dominance and protecting large territorial areas of the USSR from potential threats. This aircraft was extensively used during the Cold War by the Soviet Air Force, and later became part of the equipment of the Russian Federation Air Force as well as many other countries.

The Su-27 participated in local conflicts following the dissolution of the USSR, is frequently displayed at air shows, and serves as a base platform for further variants such as the Su-30, Su-33, and Su-35.
