Russian fighters such as the SU-27 are built with a noticeably tall stance, and the reason goes far beyond appearance. Their rugged landing gear supports operations from rough or damaged airfields while helping protect low-mounted engine intakes from dangerous debris. Historical aviation sources also document the Su-27’s sturdy landing gear and systems designed to reduce foreign-object ingestion on poor runways. Longer landing struts can absorb demanding touchdowns, while extra clearance beneath the fuselage also supports large external weapons. The design reflects a broader Russian emphasis on operating heavy fighters from less-than-perfect forward bases. In this episode, we break down why Russian jets stand so much higher than many American fighters.
