One to make people go running to check their references:  do a Serbian Su-27 in this sort of scheme:

With the concessions made by the Su-34 (the operational evolution of the Su-27IB depicted doing touch-and-go in the attachments) for long-range missions, would these features actually have some values in general on an carrier-borne strike fighter?

Also, in terms of the Su-27IB/Su-34 specifically, how well would its nose landing gear configuration lend itself for carrier modification?

Forget about his bow and arrows- why wait until that sparrow has done his deed when I can just bury him right now 'cause I'm sick and tired of hearing why he wants to have his way with the cock robin!?

The authors doing the remaking of the Evangelion anime want a harder-hitting UN carrier fighter than the Su-33, but its tail stinger might be problematic for carrier landing......

Guess they should have looked to the Su-27KUB for better inspiration:

Random idea:  Taiwan in the early 1990s sick of constant on-off position of Western partners approaches former Soviet states (Russia and Ukraine being main ones) seeking Su-27s.  These states being only too happy to get hard cash for selling of said equipment do deals resulting in the ROCAF getting a couple of squadrons of SU-27s along with associated spares and weapons.  Further updates are then given...

The VF-111 one is actually a "might have been", as VFC-111 nowadays operates as an aggressor squadron and the US does have at least four Flankers, even if they're operated by the Air Force... ;)

Errr, how do you tell the difference between their Su27s and the PLA's Su27s and derivatives?

If Russia does such business with the ROC, then that would have meant no PLA Sukhois.

The ROCAF Su-27s would have likely existed at the expense of the French-made Mirage.  The CCP might have greater cooperation with the French- at least as much as the French could get past the radar in the aftermath of 8964.
