Speaking about the strengths of the Russian fighter, the publication’s experts highlight its high maneuverability and impressive speed. The Su-27 can be equipped with a wide range of weapons and devices, which “has been demonstrated during several recent military campaigns… especially in Syria and Ukraine,” the material emphasizes.
“In 1986, an early version of the Su-27 broke all F-15 climb speed records,” the article notes. “All this means that if the Su-27 ever collides with an F-15, it may be able to outperform the American fighter jet.”
It is this factor that could become one of the determining factors in a possible confrontation between the Russian army and NATO forces, the publication’s experts emphasized.
Let us remember that today the head of the NATO Military Committee, Rob Bauer, announced the alliance’s readiness for war with Russia.
