1/72 scale War Bird Collection No.57 plastic model kit of the Russian Air
Force Sukhoi Su27B2 Sea Flanker Fighter, as installed in the aircraft carrier
Admiral Kuznetsov.
The Sukhoi Su-27 (NATO reporting name: Flanker) is a twin-engine
supermanoeuverable fighter aircraft designed by Sukhoi. It was intended as a
direct competitor for 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
MiG-29, the Su-27's closest US counterpart is the F-15 Eagle. The SU27 was
first introduced in December 1984 and remains in current production and
service.
