| Notes |
| The Su-27 was designed as an air-superiority fighter, so its fire control system can only manage unguided air-to-ground weapons like "dumb" bombs and rockets. Other variants of the "Flanker" family, particulary the Su-30, were designed from the beginning with the ground attack mission in mind. |
