## About This Content
The Su-27, NATO codename Flanker, is one of the pillars of modern-day Russian
combat aviation. Built to counter the American F-15 Eagle, the Flanker is a
twin-engine, supersonic, highly maneuverable air superiority fighter. The
Flanker is equally capable of engaging targets well beyond visual range as it
is in a dogfight given its amazing slow speed and high angle attack
maneuverability. Using its radar and stealthy infrared search and track
system, the Flanker can employ a wide array of radar and infrared guided
missiles. The Flanker also includes a helmet-mounted sight that allows you to
simply look at a target to lock it up! In addition to its powerful air-to-air
capabilities, the Flanker can also be armed with bombs and unguided rockets to
fulfil a secondary ground attack role.

Su-27 for DCS World focuses on ease of use without complicated cockpit
interaction, significantly reducing the learning curve. As such, Su-27 for DCS
World features keyboard and joystick cockpit commands with a focus on the most
