The Su-27SK Flanker-B is a Russian-designed, single-seat, air-superiority fighter purchased by the People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) in the 1990s, marking a major upgrade for Chinese aerial capabilities. Starting in 1992, China acquired 36 Su-27SK and 42 Su-27UBK variants, which were later license-produced as the J-11. 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.
