In these testing times, it appears the Russian economy has to sell off all fleets of military aircraft that have gone past their "sell by" date. Russia's loss is NZ's gain: a complete squadron of bargain-basement Su-27s (!).

@Splitpin: your new job is to arm yourself with a government issue Dymo Tape machine [provided] and churn out English labels for all the cockpits. That'll keep you off the streets!

This is the Deimos version (not DC Designs) and is MSFS 2024/2020 compatible. I'll be putting the archive on FS.To soon - but if anyone wants it before then, PM me.

I know - buying anything from that monster Putin is hard to swallow (as it were!!).

Shame really, as it's such an amazing looking aircraft. I've seen them a few times at the Fairford air shows - always a crowd-puller. When Anatoly Kvochur displays the Su27, he just rams the throttle at max mil power and leaves it there - right up until landing (!).

Adam, you're right, its an amazing looking aircraft regardless of what paint scheme it has.
