Su-27 UB – a two-seat Russian fighter

The Su-27 UB was designed to enable effective pilot training in a two-seat configuration and introduce advanced air combat tactics. The design allows for the presence of an instructor in a second cockpit, enhancing training safety and the quality of knowledge transferred. Despite this, the Su-27 UB possesses full combat capabilities and can be deployed in combat if necessary.

The Su-27 UB retains all the key features of its single-seat predecessor, such as high maneuverability, modern avionics systems, and powerful weaponry. It is powered by two turbofan engines, which provide it with high speed and a long operational range.

• Crew: 2 (pilot and instructor)
• Maximum speed: approximately 2,500 km/h
• Operating range: up to 3,500 km
• Armature: automatic cannons, air-to-air and air-to-ground missiles
• Role: combat training and combat mission support

The Su-27UB remains an important element of the Russian Air Force, helping to train pilots and increase their combat readiness. Its design combines training and combat functions, making it a versatile tool in the air force's arsenal.
