Behind it is the Vostok spaceship.
The very same on which Yuri Gagarin went to space (except it's likely a mock-up).
As wikipedia has it, the Sukhoi Su-27 (NATO reporting name: Flanker) is a twin-enginesupermaneuverablefighter aircraft designed by Sukhoi. It was intended as a direct competitor for the large United States fourth-generation fighters such as the F-14 Tomcat and F-15 Eagle, with 3,530-kilometre (1,910 nmi) range, heavy aircraft ordnance, sophisticated avionics and high manoeuvrability. The Su-27 most often flies air supremacy missions, but its most modern variants are able to perform almost all aerial warfare operations. Complementing the smaller MiG-29, the Su-27 has its closest US counterpart in the F-15 Eagle.
Su-27 hull number 27.
