Sukhoi to upgrade Su-27 fighters for foreign countries



Russia's Sukhoi military-industrial aviation complex is due to sign
contracts with a number of foreign countries soon to upgrade the Su-27
fighter planes currently in service with their air forces, Sukhoi director
general Mikhail Pogosyan said at a news conference devoted to the 20th
anniversary of the maiden flight of the first Su-27 manufactured in series.

According to Pogosyan, the Su-27, the basic variant of the fourth-generation
fighter plane proved to be so successful that the Sukhoi complex felt
obliged to modify and further upgrade it to generations known called
4+ and 4++ in which all design potentialities of the basic version have
been brought out.
