EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, a Sukhoi Su-27 fighter jet from the Russian Knights aerobatic team soars through the sky above Boscombe Down during the Air Tournament International in June 1992. The Su-27, a twin-engine, all-weather multirole fighter, is known for its impressive agility and power. In this breathtaking moment, the pilot expertly executes a maneuver while ejecting decoy flares from the aircraft's wingtips. The Russian Knights, the official aerobatic team of the Russian Air Force, was formed in 1990 and has been thrilling audiences around the world ever since. The team's Su-27 jets, painted in striking red, white, and blue livery, are a sight to behold as they perform daring aerobatic maneuvers in perfect formation. During this performance at Boscombe Down, located in Wiltshire, England, the team showcased the capabilities of the Su-27 in a way that left the crowd in awe. The decoy flares, designed to distract heat-seeking missiles, were ejected to protect the aircraft during the high-risk maneuvers. The Su-27, a versatile and advanced aircraft, has been in service with the Russian Air Force since 1985. It is a true testament to Russian aeronautical engineering and innovation. This photograph captures the power, precision, and excitement of the Su-27 and the Russian Knights as they put on an unforgettable display at the Air Tournament International in 1992.
