Then it was likely an out of pocket comment and he’s likely not allowed to say what the actual specs of the radar are regardless. Unless russia’s opsec is really that bad which wouldn’t surprise me.
Yeah… but we also know that Russia provides TONS of propaganda numbers.
So i would take it with a Kilogram of salt, especially when coming from an official.
ok you are not worth arguing with
he made clear that the improved radar in the SM2 has double the range of the 30SM
AND YOU SAY IT WAS AN OUT OF POCKET STATMENT, IN AN OFFICALLY AIRED DOCUMENTRY ABOUT THE SU-30SM2

and the inflated “propaganda numbers” saying that it isnt the IRBIS, the radar found on the Su-35
which would be way better
So a documentary is suddenly a better source than news articles. Hmm interesting. A comment made in said documentary is now fact without an actual source. Interesting…
yeah you are not worth arguing with
sure the chief desinger knows less than some random reporter

I’m just saying.
Most, if not all, sources from Russia available are just propaganda numbers.
History repeats itself, their equipment has been proven worse then proclaimed by officials.
If its not an actual source don’t act like it is.
Recordings of people belonging to the manufacturer company stating something are a primary source.
No, because then Gaijin would have givin the Type 10 and Type 90’s a 2 second reload.
you dont get the point
people are claiming that the Su-30SM2 has the IRBIS
a radar with 240° of totall gimbal and 400km range
the Chief designer of Sukhoi said that the Su-30SM2 has a radar with double the range of the Su-30SM
which has the N-011M a radar with 150km range
even if they are all propaganda numbers they would be infalted by around the same margine
and even then 2 times 150km dosent equal 400km

Yeah oké, i misunderstood
Except in this case, its just an offhand comment in a public documentary. It has no documents backing it and its Russian. The amount of times they exaggerate the capabilities of their equipment is absurd. You can even tell he’s beating around the bush answering questions and deliberately being vague.
Yeah, not in this case, as reload a balancing factor. But on anything that is not a balancing factor it works.
No, they claimed it wasnt a source.
The need documents.
Which, IMHO, is very weird and suspicious.
that was put out by russian state media
why do you think that star is there?
do you really think that the russian state media wants them to understate the capebilities in the documentry about their new jet that they are also trying to export
also 250° in search mode
its gaijin being gaijin
also isnt the 2 second reload the one that will destroy your gun breach after a few shots?
Wait, what they had to tell? “Its 2.6666(6) times the range of Su-30SM”?
I mean, there’s some other sources that back it up.
“При этом адаптация в состав вооружения новых видов АСП в комплексе сповышенной дальностью РЛС и существенным улучшением разрешающей способности в режимах воздух-поверхность позволяет решать боевые задачи на больших удалениях.”
Spoiler
Somewhat vague but an improved range while not mentioning N035 seems to point to an improved N011M to me, seeing as it’s been seen in production lines too, unlike N035.
