Historical Background

The Su-27UB evolved as a two-seat trainer version of the legendary Su-27 “Flanker,” enabling pilots to master the fighter’s high-performance maneuvers with an instructor on board. Maintained by the Soviet Air Forces (later the Russian Air Force), it retains the Su-27’s formidable power, agility, and range while incorporating dual controls. Deployed for both training and secondary combat missions, the Su-27UB underlines Russia’s emphasis on pilot proficiency and aircraft versatility, contributing to the enduring reputation of the Flanker family. By employing these photo-etched color parts in your Zvezda kit, you celebrate the Su-27UB’s legacy, bridging the gap between a formidable fighter platform and the critical role of hands-on pilot training.
