The Su-27 is a Russian-made twin-engine air superiority fighter developed by the Sukhoi Design Bureau in the late 1970s. Designed to counter U.S. fighters like the F-15 it features impressive speed agility and long-range capabilities. With a top speed over Mach 2.3 and advanced maneuverability the Su-27 is equipped with a 30mm cannon and can carry a variety of air-to-air missiles. Its powerful radar and high thrust-to-weight ratio make it highly effective in dogfights. Still in service with Russia and several other countries the Su-27 remains a formidable presence in global air combat operations and fighter development history.
