The Russian Su-27 fighter is one of the best fourth-generation fighters in the world. The American publication 19FortyFive writes about this on October 15.

The journalists of the publication pointed out that the Su-27 can carry up to 10 missiles or a combination of bombs and missiles together with a cannon. The sights allow the pilot to launch air-to-air missiles. In addition, the Su-27 has an improved avionics system.

In addition, the journalists noted the long range and good capacity of the aircraft's weapons. As disadvantages, the American edition pointed out the lack of radar evasion capabilities and insufficient combat experience.

The Soviet-Russian Su-27 fighter belongs to the fourth generation of combat aircraft. It has many modifications, including the most modern — the Su-35S from the 4++ generation. A characteristic feature of the Su-27 and its modifications is a special shape that makes the airframe aerodynamically unstable, while providing it with super maneuverability and the ability to perform various aerobatics, such as, for example, the famous "Pugachev's cobra".

Earlier, in July, test pilot Anatoly Knyshev said that the new Russian Su-75 fighter, which was given the name Checkmate, surpasses the American F-35 aircraft in maneuverability and radar capabilities. The outcome of a possible battle between them will depend on the skill of the pilots.

Knyshev noted that the F-35 fighter can fly at an angle of attack of 50 degrees. At the same time, the American aircraft is not capable of a combat turn, and the new fighter of the Russian Federation is capable.

The expert added that both aircraft belong to the category of inconspicuous fighters, but the F-35 will notice the enemy later than the Su-75 pilot, which also gives an advantage.

On July 23, it was reported that the Russian newest light tactical aircraft Checkmate, also known as the Su-75, was nicknamed Screamer "Screamer" in the United States. The plane was dubbed the "screamer" because of the large air intake on the "chin", which gives the aircraft a special look.
