The Su-27S (NATO reporting name – Flanker) is a single-seat highly-maneuverable 
fighter aircraft built by Sukhoi Design Bureau as the Soviet response to the U.S. F-14 
and F-15 and entered service in 1985. The primary role of the Su-27 was to provide 
defense against American bombers, USN ships and provide Soviet bomber escorts. 
There have been many improvements over the years resulting in numerous variants of 
the Su-27. The export variant, the Su-27SK was sold to China and eventually developed 
into the license-built Shenyang J-11.

In 1989 the Soviets revealed their new Sukhoi Su-27 at the Paris Airshow. Two variants 
of the aircraft were on display, Su-27 Flanker B Blue 388 and Su-27UB Blue 389. Blue 
388 was given Sukhoi bureau number T10-41 but for the Paris show 41 was painted 
over with the new number 388. During the show test pilot Viktor Pugachev demonstrated 
a maneuver called the Cobra that later would be referred to as the Pugachev Cobra. 
The aircraft was capable of raising the nose 120 degrees and hovering in that upward 
position.
