Early Su-27 fighters entered Soviet, and later Russian Air Force, service in the mid-to-late 1980s, forming the foundation of modern Russian air-superiority capability. These first-production Su-27S and Su-27P models featured the N001 radar, IRST sensor, helmet-mounted sight, and powerful AL-31F engines that gave the Flanker its long range and high maneuverability. They were assigned to frontline PVO interceptor regiments and VVS fighter units across the Soviet Union, including bases in the Far East, Arctic, and Western districts. After the USSR’s collapse, many early Su-27s continued serving through the 1990s and 2000s, performing air-defense alert, border patrols, and pilot training. 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 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc.
