Historical information about the Su-27S

The Su-27S fighter, codenamed Flanker-B by NATO, was developed in the USSR in the late 1970s as a response to new American air superiority fighters. It officially entered service in 1985. It was widely used by the Soviet and Russian Air Forces and also delivered to users in China, Ethiopia, Ukraine, and other post-Soviet countries. The Su-27 is characterized by excellent maneuverability and heavy armament, participating in numerous conflicts from the Cold War era up to modern times.
