Su-27 Flanker

by Footmunch

The Flanker was designed in the mid-70's as a pure interceptor and
air-to-air fighter. The large leading edge root extension (LERX)
configuration gives the Flanker very good performance at high
angles of attack. The Flanker also represented a large advance in
avionics complexity over the MiG-23/Su-7 generation of fighters,
including such improvements as a helmet mounted sighting system.
This latter system, when coupled with the high manevarability of the 
AA-11 Archer missile, makes the Flanker a very deadly machine when
within visual range of it's target, especially when in the hands
of experienced pilots.

The Flanker (in various versions) is in service with the CIS, China
and India.

a standard Combat Air Patrol loadout consisting of 4 medium range Alamo

The roundel texture should be a rectangular paa/pac texture with 
dimensions 512(w) x 256(h).
A collection of roundels can be found at www.footmunch.org.uk

The mission maker can also set the number shown on the plane using the
syntax:

[this, 413] exec "\rktsu27\scr\number.sqs"]

The plane's numbering will change to reflect the second parameter, which
must be in the range 0...999
