The Su-27UB Flanker C is a two-seat variant of the multi-role Su-27 fighter, designed mainly for training and combat operations. The UB version (“Uchebno-Boyevoy” – trainer-combat) was introduced into the USSR Air Force arsenal in the late 1980s, and since 1992 has been operated by the elite Russian Knights aerobatic team. This team is distinguished by its striking blue paint scheme with red and white accents, symbolizing the power and precision of Russian aviation. These aircraft have participated in international airshows and have also been used operationally as air superiority fighters.
