On August 24, 1991 Ukraine gained its independence from the Soviet Union and also that same year inherited 67 Su-27/27UB's. On March 17, 1992 the Air Force of the Ukraine was formed and later in 2004/2005 the name was once again changed to Air Forces of the Armed Forces of the Ukraine. Su-27 Flanker B was received by the Ukraine in 2012 with a c/n 36911035716 Bort 100. There are over 30 active Su-27s in various versions located with the 831st Tactical Aviation Brigade and 39th Separate Tactical Aviation Squadron. 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 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
