It was intended as a direct competitor for the largeUnited Statesthree generation fighters, with 3,530-kilometre range, heavy armament, sophisticated avionics and high maneuverability. 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 closestUScounterpart is the F-15 Eagle.
