Sukhoi — 3 museum-grade prints across the catalogue. The Sukhoi Su-24 Fencer entered Soviet Air Force service in the 1970s and received the Su-24M upgrade in the 1980s with improved targeting pods and nav-attack systems for all-weather strike. Its variable-geometry wing echoed the F-111 concept while the side-by-side cockpit and rugged undercarriage suited unpaved forward operating bases. The Su-35S represents the pinnacle of the classic Flanker airframe before fifth-generation Su-57 production scaled — export orders to China and ongoing Russian service keep the type at the centre of discussions about 4++ generation air superiority. Thrust-vectoring demonstrations at Paris, Zhuhai, and MAKS air shows cemented Flanker cultural status among sim pilots and aviation enthusiasts worldwide. The Su-27 Flanker ended American assumptions about Soviet fighter inferiority — a large, agile airframe with range and manoeuvrability that forced NATO planners to rewrite threat assessments in the late Cold War. The Russian Knights demonstration team transformed Flanker culture from classified interceptors to public aerobatic theatre, while export variants equipped China, India, and Vietnam under Su-27SK and Su-30 lineages.
