The surrounding area is composed of open fields, interspersed with gentle hills and sparse woodland.

Great pics but I don't think the Su-27 was in production in '76 ;)
I'm guessing they meant it as a stand-in for the Su-24 Fencer or Su-25 since Su-27s probably wouldn't operate that low over hostile armor and SPAA/SAM any way. Good attention to detail though Mirth!

I was teasing ;) Mostly I'm jealous because I would love to play on a table like that! I love the modern stuff :)
BTW Stagger, I love that you know the Flanker wasn't a CAS/ground-attack bird.
