- HISTORY ASPECTS:
- The Su-27 Flanker-B "Barents Sea" Red 36 is a distinguished aircraft from the Soviet Air Force, operated by the 941st Fighter Aviation Regiment in 1987. Designed as a long-range air superiority fighter, the Su-27 was developed to counter Western threats such as the F-15 and F-16, boasting exceptional speed, maneuverability, and advanced avionics for its era. Red 36 became particularly notable for its service over the Barents Sea, demonstrating the Soviet Union’s commitment to defending its northern airspace during the height of the Cold War.
- During its operational life, Red 36 conducted multiple intercept and patrol missions along the Arctic and North Atlantic corridors. Its extra empty pylons reflect the aircraft’s readiness for a variety of weapons configurations, while a special decal represents an infamous incident in which it collided with a US Navy P-3 Orion during a tense aerial encounter. These encounters, although not full-scale combat, highlighted the high-stakes environment of Cold War aerial operations, requiring extreme skill and precision from its pilots to assert national airspace sovereignty without escalating tensions.
- The Su-27 Flanker-B was central to the Soviet Union’s strategic air defense doctrine, capable of long-range interception, dogfighting, and fleet defense missions. Red 36’s robust airframe and powerful engines made it a formidable presence in the skies, often serving as a deterrent during tense standoffs with NATO aircraft. Its deployment in the Arctic and Barents Sea regions exemplified the USSR’s focus on protecting its northern borders and projecting aerial strength over key maritime approaches.
- This 1:72 scale model captures the iconic silhouette and distinctive markings of this legendary Cold War fighter, including the extra pylons and commemorative decal, making it a must-have for collectors and aviation enthusiasts fascinated by Soviet aviation history.
