The Ukrainian Air Force's 831st Tactical Aviation Brigade operates the Su-27 Flanker, a key component of Ukraine's air defense. Based at Mirgorod Air Base, the 831st is one of the premier units equipped with this multi-role fighter, which has been in service since the Soviet era but continues to play a crucial role in modern-day operations. The Su-27 is known for its superior maneuverability and combat capabilities, particularly in air superiority and ground attack missions. During the ongoing conflict with Russia, the 831st's Su-27s have been vital in defending Ukrainian airspace and conducting strike operations against enemy forces. 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 2003-2026 The Flying Mule, Inc.
