This is an original Russian T-shirt. Screen printed in Moscow, Russia. Manufactured of 5.1 oz. fabric - luxuriously soft 100% cotton ring-spun yarn with double-needle coverseamed neck.

The front print pictures the famous Russian "SU-27" fighter, a large combat aircraft that is one of the mainstays of Russian air power. The SU-27 was created in response to the development of new Western aircraft, particularly the McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle. Many call SU-27 one of "the most impressive Russian fighters". The words on the front of the T-shirt say: "SU 27", "Multi-purpose fighter-bomber", "RUSSIA". The back of the T-shirt lists the following specifications of the fighter in Russian:

SUKHOI SU-27 FLANKER

Designed in the late 1960s as a high performance fighter with a fly-by-wire control system, and with the ability to carry up to 10 AAMs, the maneuverable Su-27 was one of the most opposing fighters ever built at the time. The first 'Flanker-A' prototypes flew on May 20, 1977 and entered service as the 'Flanker-B' in 1984.

The 'Flanker' has seen a number of aerodynamic changes since, and exists in a variety of forms today. The Su-27IB, or Su-35 designation, is a long range attack variant with side-by-side seating for two. The Su-27UB 'Flanker-C', or Su-30 designation, is a tandem two-seat long range interceptor and trainer. A navalized version called the Su-27K 'Flanker-D', designated Su-33, was designed in 1992 for deployment on Russian aircraft carriers. It has folded wings, retractable flight refueling probe, arrester hook, strengthened landing gear, and moving canard foreplanes.

Next generation 'Flanker' derivatives include the Su-35 and the thrust-vector controlled Su-37, both vastly more enhanced then the Su-27, with canard foreplanes and the ability to carry up to 14 external stores.
