Difficult to answer. The Su-27 is a bit more manueverable, longer ranged, with longer ranged AAMs. The F-16 is smaller, has better avionics and ergonomics.
It's a difficult comparison because the planes have different roles. It would be more accurate to compare the F-15 to the Su-27 and the F-16 to the MiG-29.
In a close in dogfight, the better pilot is more than likely going to be the determining factor.

right this is an answer from a pilot with protection tension and civilian flight adventure. The F16 is transforming into previous and extremely some are getting used as drones. specific, you will ultimately be waiting to purchase one, yet it rather isn't the concern... the concern is the maintenance, maintenance, and areas might value you thousands and thousands of greenbacks besides to the acquisition fee. enable's say you obtain a robust one for $10 mil (LOL); revenues tax on my own could be $850,000. What approximately gas, hanger area, touchdown expenditures? 1050 gallons jet gas x $6 = $6300 or almost $7,000 with taxes... and that's for each replenish. so which you will spend approximately $70,000 in gas just to fly 10 cases. What approximately anti ice additive to the jet gas? plenty stuff to think of approximately different than how plenty the plane expenses, because is the cheap section! assume some hundred thousand earnings value ever time something screws up with the plane and additionally you desire technical/maintenance assistance. Sorry to break it to you, yet even wealthy human beings evaluate this form of purchase order to be a money pit. An L-39 is a low-priced plane in assessment. How plenty did you intend to spend on coverage, fantastically in case you have little to no adventure in type. ;)

To all you American patriots. The Su-27 did kick but
on wargames 70% of the time but the Su-30MK did
much better and killed it 90% of the time.

This is a very difficult question to answer considering the factors governing this issue which are partly.
Range , Combat Radius, Survivability, Speed, Climb and Combat ceiling, Payload, and many others
Add to that Radars, Pointing weapons, Night equipment, Air refueling, and many others.
As it is in the minds of everybody in the US, they like to treat Russia as technologically inferior, and here we must be aware of the fact that Russia went to space and has a huge arsenal of weaponry unmatched in the world.

I think they are evenly matched (SU-27 is more manouverable). It's all about the pilots flying them, armament and tactics used.
