The Sukhoi Su-27, designated under the NATO codename "Flanker," is a single-seat Russian fighter jet designed by the Sukhoi Design Bureau (SDB) under the direction of engineer Mikhail Simonov and historical leader Pavel Sukhoi. This aircraft has given rise to numerous variants, some of which have received new designations: Su-30, Su-33, Su-35, and Su-37.

The Su-27S Flanker-B, which first flew in 1981, is the initial mass-produced version. This version was exclusively delivered to the Soviet military. An export version, the Su-27SK, was originally designed for China. The Su-27 was a pioneer in fighter aviation, establishing a solid foundation for the numerous evolutions and improvements that followed, resulting in advanced models like the Su-35.
