Su-27 family since 1981

Little to say I had hard times with that one ! A VERY complicated family tree with an insane desgnation system. Some individual aircraft in the same branch having up to three different names while three quite different aircraft have the same name (Su-30). Moreover the data is not that abundant (#Chinese versions). And it is far from being complete, especially with the fact that very few images of the aircraft involved in the war in Ukraine are being published.

Hope there are not to many flaws. Feel free to comment and critisize !

A fantastic series!
The research on this most have been extremely time consuming given all the sub-variants and colour schemes.

Holy smokes! I wasn't expecting this. Welp this is sure a welcome to fix the Su-27 family here on Shipbucket. Definately going to update all of my Su-27 art work. Though I do see some errors like some Flankers being called Flanker-Fs when they are actually Flanker-H's and i am curious to know why the Su-37 isn't here or I am not looking at the right spot or it's coming later.

Actually, the Su-37 is a good illustration of what i was writing as an introduction. The constructor denomination of this prototype is T-10M-11. The T-10M series was first called Su-27M in the late Soviet Union (M for Modernized), before being called Su-35 in the nineties (the first version, quite different from today's Su-35S). Su-37 is actually the marketing name for only one of the prototypes. You can see it in the fifth plate (second row).
