Russian aviation industry against American: Su-27 defeated F-15 in a training battle in Ukraine

The Su-27 fighter, which is in service with the Armed Forces of Ukraine, turned out to be more maneuverable and better than the American F-15C Eagle at the Clear Sky-2018 Ukrainian exercises. This was told to the military television of Ukraine by the senior navigator of the aviation brigade Alexander Mostovoy.
The program reported that the air combat exercises took place at a distance of about a kilometer. Russian-made fighters showed great maneuverability due to the “mechanization installed in the aircraft,” explained Mostovoi.
It is noted that at close range, the Su-27 showed itself much better. Groups of 4-5 aircraft from both sides took part in the maneuvers.
Recall that in order to participate in Ukrainian exercises in Ukraine, the United States transferred to the country F-15, as well as transport aircraft C-130.
International maneuvers held in Ukraine take place from October 8 to 19. Nine countries take part in them, eight of which are members of NATO.
