HISTORY ASPECTS:The Sukhoi Su-27UB Flanker is the two-seat combat-capable trainer variant of the renowned Su-27 air superiority fighter - developed to provide pilot conversion training while retaining full operational capability. Equipped with dual controls and nearly identical performance to the single-seat version - the Su-27UB allows for advanced instruction in air combat maneuvers - interception techniques - and tactical mission planning. With powerful engines - long-range endurance - and exceptional agility - the aircraft remains a formidable platform even in its training role.Within the Ukrainian Air Force - the Su-27UB has been operated by units such as the 831st Tactical Aviation Brigade - based at Myrhorod Air Base. By 2017 - the brigade had become one of Ukraine’s premier fighter units - responsible for maintaining air defense readiness and training new generations of pilots. The Su-27UB played a key role in preparing crews for frontline service - participating in national exercises - air policing missions - and international training events that demonstrated Ukraine’s ongoing efforts to modernize and maintain combat effectiveness.Although the Su-27UB is primarily a training aircraft - it has been used in operational contexts - particularly during the War in Donbas. Ukrainian Su-27 units were involved in air patrols - interception duties - and limited combat support roles during the conflict in eastern Ukraine. Aircraft like those operated by the 831st Brigade contributed to airspace control and deterrence - ensuring that pilots remained mission-ready under real-world conditions. The continued use of the Su-27UB in both training and operational environments highlights its versatility and importance in sustaining Ukraine’s fighter force during periods of conflict and tension.This 1:72 scale model captures the sleek lines and dual-seat configuration of this versatile fighter-trainer - offering collectors a detailed representation of an aircraft that bridges training and combat readiness in a modern European air force.
