US Purchases Russian Fighters
This is interesting: The US has bought two slightly used Russian SU-27 "Flanker" fighter jets from Ukraine. The Flanker is a modern high-performance, high altitude fighter from the Soviet era that's been sold to India, China, Malaysia, Venezuela and Algeria. It is analogous to the US F-15. USAF will use them for fighter practice.
