Did you know that the Soviet-era Su-27 was built on US F-15 technology? Fedor Leukhin Few know it, but one of the most mass-produced Soviet/Russian fighters, the Su-27, was based partly on American technology, which enabled it to set over 30 world records.
The Sukhoi Su-27 (NATO reporting name: Flanker) is a multi-purpose fighter-interceptor that can carry out combat missions day and night in all weather conditions.
Like most weapons of Soviet origin, the aircraft’s task was to counterbalance or even outperform American firepower. In this case, the F-15 Eagle.
“In the early 1980s, our intelligence agents somehow got hold of the blueprints of the F-15 Eagle, designed by McDonnell Douglas, and handed them over to the Sukhoi Design Bureau. Soviet engineers used them to create the first prototype of the new fighter,” TASS military analyst Viktor Litovkin told Russia Beyond.
