The Sukhoi Su-27 (NATO reporting name ‘Flanker’) is a jet fighter plane originally manufactured by the Soviet Union, and designed by the Sukhoi Design Bureau. It was intended as a direct competitor for the new generation of American fighters (which emerged as the F-14 Tomcat, F-15 Eagle, F-16 Fighting Falcon, and F/A-18 Hornet), with long range, heavy armament, and very high agility. The Su-27 most often flies air superiority missions, but is able to perform almost all combat operations. Its closest American counterpart is the F-15 Eagle.
Designed as a fly-by-wire long range fighter capable of taking on the United States’ F-15 Eagle, the Su-27 was first flown on May 20th, 1977. Despite its large size, it impressed military observers with its awesome agility when first unveiled to the West at the 1989 Paris Air Show. The swept-wing style blends into the fuselage at the leading edge extensions, with the wingtips cropped for missile placement. With a heads-up display, helmet-mounted sight, 30mm cannon and up to 10 hardpoint missiles, the Flanker is one of the world’s best modern dogfighter aircraft. © Copyright 2003-2010 The Flying Mule, Inc.
