Sukhoi Su-27UB Flanker-C | | 4.25" | | 3" |
Eight aircraft of the SU-27UB series, among them two of the two-seater variant, were purchased by Angola from Belorussian assets. The machine code-named "Flanker-C" by NATO had its maiden flight as early as 1971, but nevertheless belongs to the most modern fighter jets of ex-Soviet or Russian production. It is in certain respects comparable with the American F-18, extremely agile and depending on its mission profile, most effectively armed. Designed by the Soviet Union to challenge the superiority of fourth generation US fighters such as the F-15 Eagle, the Su-27 was first flown on May 20, 1977. This one seat Mach-2 fighter had the Soviet Union's first operational fly-by-wire system. The aircraft is very large compared to the MiG-29, its closest Soviet counterpart, but it is built with a high percentage of titanium, which helps minimize its weight. It is exceptionally agile and is perhaps most famous for its "Cobra" maneuver, which is a short, sustained level flight at a 120 degree angle of attack, often performed at air shows. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
