China’s Su-27 Flanker Is a Poor Copy of the Russian Original
Looks can be majorly deceiving.
Here s What You Need to Remember: Beijing received seventy-six fighters from Moscow in 1992 to replace their aging Soviet-supplied fighters. They were liked so much that China negotiated a deal with Russia which meant up to two-hundred licensed copies of the Su-27 could be manufactured in China using Russian-supplied kits.
China’s J-11 looks like an exact copy of Russia’s Su-27. And it almost is but it’s nowhere near as reliable or capable.
Export Time
The Su-27 was developed by the Soviet Union at the tail end of the Cold War and was intended to play more or less the same role as the American F-14 or F-15 fighters a fast and maneuverable air escort or air superiority fighter. Moscow’s Flankers would have protected the Soviet Union’s long-range bombers like the Tu-22, Tu-95, and Tu-160. Today, it still serves in this role with the Russian Air Force.
