BulgarianMilitary.com recalls comparison between Su-27 and F-16 was made some time ago by the Ukrainian pilot Lieutenant Colonel Fischer Dmitry Vilhelmovich. Who admits flew in the early days no F-16 and was satisfied with the American Falcon. However, he confirms words of Russian experts, saying that F-16 has inferior characteristics to those of “its Su-27”. The Ukrainian pilot discussed comparing Su-27 and F-16 in terms of maneuverability and close combat. His opinion is that, first of all, no one beats Russian fighters terms of maneuverability, and as for close combat, Su-27 superior to US F-16. It is the maneuverability that even distinguishes Su-27 from all Soviet/Russian fighters. Many local [Russian] experts perceive Su-27 as the most maneuverable fighter in the air.

Comparison between Su-27 and F-16 is as logical as it is illogical. According to many military air experts, Su-27 should not be compared with F-16, but with another US flagship – the F-15. But the fact that the closest to the MiG-29 – the competitor of the F-16 in the same class, is Su-27, that’s why this comparison is currently being made.
