It was intended as a direct competitor for the largeUnited Statesthree generation fighters, with 3,530-kilometre range, heavy armament, sophisticated avionics and high maneuverability. The Su-27 most often flies air superiority missions, but is able to perform almost all combat operations. Complementing the smaller MiG-29, the Su-27's closestUScounterpart is the F-15 Eagle.

The Su-33 'Flanker-D' is a naval fleet defense interceptor for use on aircraft carriers. Further versions include the side-by-side two-seat Su-34 'Fullback'strike/fighter-bomber variant, and the Su-35 'Flanker-E' improved air superiority and multi-role fighter.
