Ive seen a mentions of this aircraft so I thought would take a shot in the dark and post it as an offical feature request. Just some background on the SU-27, this is a fourth gen fighter/interceptor produced at the time to counter the U.S. F-15. Since its orginal design the SU-27 has seen major updates in models and avionics such as flight controls and radar enhancements. Used by a variety of international air forces the Su-27 has become a backbone for many countries that include the republic of veitnam, Indonesia, Eritrea and Mongolia just to name a few. Now that we have established history lets examine specs.

We definitely need more fighters in Infinite Flight.
It would be nice to have the SU-27 and maybe even the MiG-29 or MiG-31. We don’t have any Russian aircraft in the sim, commercial or military.
Would be interesting to get to fly an Antonov transport or MiG fighter and see the difference vs the western counterparts.
I think this plane deserves a bit more love :)
I would really like to see it in IF ! It would be the first Russian fighter ✈️ @MishaCamp you‘re currently in Russia :) Tell us if you‘ve already seen it
This aircraft is one of the most successful military aircraft in the history of aviation. And it would be a great addition to Infinite Flight. With its super maneuverability and aggressive look, it would be a match for Infinite Flight’s other F-22 and F-14 aircraft.
The Sukhoi Su-27 (Code NATO Flanker) is a Russian single-seat fighter designed by the Sukhoi Design Bureau (SDB) led by engineer Mikhail Simonov and its historic leader Pavel Sukhoi. It has given rise to numerous variants, some of which have been redesignated: Su-30, Su-33, Su-35, Su-37.
Like the F-18, the SU-27 is also used by demo groups.
From 1991 to 2017, the Russian Knights used the SU-27, after which they received several SU-30SM and 1 SU-35S.
