Ukrainian pilot-AS performed a figure of the highest pilotage by showing weapons Su-27 (video)

This fact indicates the recent shooting date, since the re -equipment began only in the fall of 2024. So in October, the first appeared information about the Su-27 bombs GBU-39. Before that, such devices were used only on the MiG-29. BRU-61 racks are used to load bombs, which are designed to accommodate up to four ammunition, as well as equipped with an adapter compatible with Pilon Su-27.

In this case, the maximum combat load of the fighter allows to carry up to eight bombs GBU-39, which significantly expands its impact potential. Commenting on the video, the Bulgarian Military Viewers noted that the Su-27 screwdrium pylons were also equipped with the air-air-air-air and R-73 Soviet-made rockets that are designed to perform various tasks.

From a tactical point of view, such flexibility enables Ukrainian fighters to perform both operations to conquer the preference in the air and to strike point strikes for critical enemy purposes. Thus, the value of the Su-27 for the Ukrainian Air Force cannot be overestimated. While the MiG-29, another main fighter of the Soviet era in the arsenal of Ukraine, more widely accessible in Western allies, Su-27 remains a unique asset.

Since Western countries cannot supply these planes to Ukraine, the modernization and maintenance of fighters are important for the country's defense strategy. Su-27 not only has a greater flight and weapons range compared to the MiG-29, but also symbolizes the technical capabilities of the Ukrainian Air Force.
