A Soviet all-weather supersonic heavy fourth-generation fighter Su-27UB has appeared at the National Museum of the US Air Force. Previously, the aircraft was exhibited without engines.
This aircraft rolled off the assembly line on March 30, 1988, with tail number 01. Initially, it belonged to the 100th Separate Shipborne Fighter Regiment of the USSR Navy, which was based in Crimea. The regiment was formed in 1986.
In 2008, the Su-27UB was sold to the American private company Pride Aircraft. In the USA, the aircraft received registration number N132SU.
Around 2011, it was resold to Meridican. The further fate of the aircraft is associated with its use in training missions of the US Air Force.
It is also assumed that the Su-27UB was used as part of the Foreign Materiel Exploitation (FME) program to test weapons, radars, and countermeasures. Similar aircraft are often used to assess the capabilities of foreign equipment.
Earlier www1.ru reported that an expert has found a radical solution to the problem of the shortage of AEW&C aircraft for the Russian Aerospace Forces, he proposed reviving the Yak-44.
