That the primary issue SU-27 Flanker, I think that give special emphasis to the best seed of the Series SU-27 - SU-27 SKM. A couple of excellent links that describe in detail the aforementioned plane:

http://www.defencetalk.com/tag/sukhoi/page/2/- After the primary themes in the evolution of development, of course it is a logical series of SU-30 SU-33 SU-35 SU-37, but the story is the basis of the SU-27 and SU-27 SKM the best offspring !
- The main features of the Su-27SKM are:
- A modified system of arms control with advanced capabilities,
• New display system;
• Improved navigation and radio communications;
• More sophisticated equipment built-in defense system;
• Wide range of weapons air-to-air and air-to-surface missiles to be placed on 10 pylons and podrupnih carrier.
- Weapon Control System (VCS), Su-27SKM provides detection, monitoring and impact of aviation weapons mode - air, land and sea in all weather conditions, day and night. Allows improved, compared with Su-27SK, assortment of weapons during an air paint, guided missiles with active radar homing (Gos), air-to-air RVV-AE, then TSA air-surface missile systems, different management. SUV-Su-27SKM includes two major subsystems: arms control signals: air-to-air and others - the control of air-surface weapons.
- Primary (base) information to control events in the cockpit consists of two displays (MFI), a multi-display - (touchscreen) and lights on the back windshield (HUD), which in graphic and digital form provides all the necessary sight-flight and navigation data and information on aircraft systems. Together with modern MFI is scheduled to traditional electromechanical indicator, which largely overlaps (adjusted) functions and makes it easier to pilot.
- Radar station (RLS), Su-27SKM the mode air-air ", allows: Search aerial targets, national identification (a-foreign) of detected targets, attacks against targets short-and medium-range with a variety of systems for guidance, search and intervention . In air-to-surface mode, adjusting to the weather conditions for the detection, coordinates the issuance of the parameters for surface targets and the use of anti-ship missile Kh-31A.
- Opto-location Station (ARS), is a combination of supervision and monitoring of heat and also the direction finder laser range finder. Serves as an air support, reveals targeted thermal radiation, emitted laser beam in the air and detect targets. It can also be used for laser illumination at ground targets through the use of guided air-to-surface missile with a semi-active laser Gos.
- New pilot's helmet has a built-in system that allows targeting of targets, turning heads in the direction towards the area where the expected opponent.
- Armament: Su-27SKM top has a built-pipe of 30 mm type GSH-301, as well as missiles and bombs to accommodate the 10 podkriklnih and podrupnih points.
Air to air missiles are guided medium-range missiles, the type of R-27 - with thermal GOS (R-27T1, R-27ET1), active radar GOS (R-27R1, R 27ER1), as well as missiles R-73e-IC - GSN , mid-range with RVV-AE active radar-Gos.
- For the destruction of the earth (surface) targets, the Su-27SKM uses a large range of guided and unguided weapons.
Guided missile air-to-surface offers great speed. Medium-range Kh-31A C with active radar navođem, and also medium-range missiles Kh-31PC, then passive short-range missiles Kh-29t (X 29TE) C with TV guidance, or X-29L laser-GSN. Also: guided bombs KAB-1500Kr C - TV - GSN and guided bombs KAB-antenna 500Kr (KAB-500-ML).
Unguided bombs of different calibres were 500, 250 and 100 kg, cluster bombs, incendiary, tank and rocket C-8, C-13 and C-25.
- SU-27 from the very existence of a basis for all further shoots bureau Sukhoi, from year to year, a test platform for new technology, the evolution of the engine - AL-31 P / PF ... to vektorisanog thrust, new cockpit ergonomics and rapid application - (glaskokpita-Display - MFD) to replace analog instruments, application of FBW, Hotasa, FADEC ... etc.. All proven and tested on the SU-30 SU-33 SU-35 117S engine but which remained reserved for SU-35 and primary PAK-FA was first found potvtrdu the SU-27. Possible that the radar Irbis-E applications other than the SU-35 and found the role of the SU-27 SKM.
- The following video links speak about the characteristics of high-flying SU-27 SKM and the great impact of new technologies as the inevitable consequence of technological development:
