The aircraft is designed to conduct long-range and close air combat, intercept and defeat manned and unmanned aircraft, as well as support air operations 300-400 km into the enemy territory. The Su-27 is capable of attacking air target both within the automatic control system radar envelope and beyond, in hostile ECM and air defence environment, in any weather by day and night. The Su-27SK can also attack ground targets using unguided weapons within the tactical and theatre depth of the enemy defences under the conditions of optical visibility. The Su-27SK weapons deployed on 10 hard-points, include R-27 air-to-air missiles of all modifications and R-73E missiles. The unguided weapons are S-8, S-13 and S-25 unguided rockets and aerial bombs of up to 500 kg calibre. The aircraft has a built-in GSh-301 gun with the ammunition allowance of 150 rounds. The Su-27SK aircraft can boast the most outstanding flight characteristics and combat effectiveness. Modernisation potential implemented in the Su-27SK design enables both partial and comprehensive upgrade at the request of the customer. The Su-27UBK twin-seat combat trainer aircraft is designed to train piloting skills and combat employment against aerial and surface targets by day and night in any weather.
