The su-27 is a long-range air superiority fighter comparable to the us f-15 in size and mission. Su-27 entered production in 1982 and is in service with russia, ukraine, belarus, kazakhstan and vietnam, and is built under license in china as the f-11. The su-27 is equipped with an analog fly-by-wire control system, powerful pulse-doppler radar, and up to ten air-to-air missiles giving it a potent look-down shoot-down capability. The flanker also features rearward-facing radar at the end of a long boom placed between the engines allowing the su-27 to fire at targets behind the aircraft. The su-27's high thrust-to-weight ratio and refined aerodynamics allow superb flight characteristics at high angles of attack. In addition, the soviet navy purchased an improved su-27k design, later redesignated the su-33, to operate off its first class of large aircraft carriers. An interesting feature of the su-27 is its autopilot, which is able to return the aircraft to right-side-up level flight at any altitude when the pilot presses a panic-button. " besides the su-33, the basic su-27 airframe has also been developed into the su-30, su-35 and su-37 fighters as well as the su-34 bomber. :
