Newly designed wings, nose, motor mount and tail. Code NATO ASCC FLANKER - B

2. Su-27 Basic Family:

Su-27S

Standard version of the base design T-10S, with its original air-to-land capacity. Sometimes it’s designated Su-27 without the S.

Su-27P

Standard version but without the system and installation of the air-to-land weapons control. Sometimes it’s designated Su-27 without the P.

Su-27PD

The first prototype Su-27P with the ability to refuel during flight. Later, they took off the weapons and radar and used it for air acrobatics. 

Su-27UB

This is the basic version of the two-seated trainer.

Su-27SK

This is the exported version of the Su-27S, radar N001E, renovated to carry 8.000 kg It has different options of ECM (Gardenia o Sorbitsya). It also has different localization options. The Chinese version is called the J-11.

Su-27UBK

This is the exported version of the Su-27UB. It has the same cargo capacity as the Su-27SK.

Su-27SMK

This is based on the SK version with IFR. 12 pods. Supposedly provided with the radar Zhuk-27. The actual prototype is the same as the SK with an IFR which is being tested. They are planning on adding the capacity of multirole and a multiuse from the R-77.

Phase 1.
