As the war in Ukraine continues, we thought it would be interesting to discuss one aspect of the airpower used by both sides. While initial air combat occurred during the opening days of the war, there hasn’t been a lot of reporting about the situation in the air since. At the moment, both sides continue to fly different variants of the same aircraft – including the SU-25 and MIG-29 – but one of the lesser seen jets has been the Sukhoi 27, an aircraft which both sides have continued to use since the 1980s. We will make a brief comparison between both sides and how their SU-27s compare.
