Sukhoi Su-27 Flanker

The Sukhoi Su-27 (NATO reporting name: Flanker) is a twin-engine super manoeuvrable fighter aircraft designed by Sukhoi. It was intended to do combat with the large United States fourth generation fighters, with 3,530-kilometre (1,910 nmi) range, heavy armament, sophisticated avionics and high manoeuvrability. The Su-27 most often flies air superiority missions, but is able to perform almost all combat operations. Complementing the smaller Mikoyan MiG-29 Fulcrum, the Su-27's closest US counterpart is the Boeing F-15C Eagle. The Su-27 entered service with the Russian Air Force 1991
