The Su-27 in War Thunder: A New Star in the Sky

It's finally here, folks! The highly anticipated major update "Air Supremacy" for War Thunder has arrived, and with it comes one of the most impressive fighter jets in the world - the Su-27. This new top-tier jet fighter is now available for the USSR and China, and I can't wait to tell you all about it.

Features of the Su-27

• Excellent maneuverability. With this baby, you can perform difficult flight maneuvers as if they were nothing.
• High top speed. This jet flies so fast that your opponents won't even know what hit them.
• 10 weapon hardpoints. The Su-27 is packed with firepower to bring any enemy to their knees.
• Advanced air-to-air missiles. With these missiles, you can pick off enemy aircraft from the sky.
• No guided weapons against ground targets. That's a small disadvantage, but hey, nobody's perfect, right?

Meet the Su-27!

Now that you know the basics, let's dive deeper. The Su-27 is one of the most important top jet fighters and definitely lives up to its motto of "air superiority".

Flight characteristics and weapon load of the Su-27

Despite its size and weight, the Su-27 can reach top speeds of almost 2500 km/h thanks to its powerful Saturn AL-31F engines. Combined with its unique lifting body design, it is a true master of the skies. But that's not all. The Su-27 boasts an impressive arsenal of weapons, including maneuverable R-73 close combat missiles and radar-guided R-27R missiles for medium-range engagements. Unfortunately, it does not have laser-guided ground weapons, but it can carry a variety of bombs, from free-falling to incendiary bombs.

The Su-27 and the J-11

With the "Air Superiority" update, not only the Su-27 but also its Chinese counterpart, the J-11, has arrived in War Thunder. Both aircraft have similar characteristics and weapons, which means you can dominate the skies with either one. So what are you waiting for?
