Top Gun Battled, F-14 Tomcat was Top Gun BUT now is not match for Su-27... HD

The aircraft were created for different role. The Tomcat was a craft designed to support a carrier battle group. It was armed with the AIM-54 Phoenix Missile. It wa designed to blot out targets at a range of up to 80 miles. It could also carry the AIM-7 Sparrow and the AIM-9 Sidewinder. Either of these could take out a Su-27. The Su-27 Flanker was armed with AA-10 Alamo missiles with a range of about 50 miles and AA-11 Archer missile with a range of less than 20 miles. It was designed as an air superiority aircraft, and a damned good one in the opinion of most students of the craft. BUT, Su-27 has super maneuverability which can take down F-14 easily in closed air combat
