Mary, you are WAY out on this one.

The internal fuel load of a Su-27 Flanker is 9,400kg, on the F-15C it s
5,950kg (or 6,103 depending on source), the F-18 is 4,900kg.

Range without drop tanks is 3,680km for the Su-27, 1,970km for the F-15C &
2,200 for the F-18.

Yeah, I was about to say the same thing.

Su-27 can carry LOTS of fuel.

You don't really expect her to admit her error here do you
boys?...she doesn't 'do' admit error. Just like a couple of years
ago when she stated emphatically that there is no such thing as
'pilot error', there was only 'layout errors' (or some other
foolishness) that misled pilots into making wrong decisions.

I still think some hunk pilot whispered in her little pink shells
