Unfortrunately - no. I searched for quite a while but nothing good on radar MFDs or HUD

There is, but afaik only as a project so far and we don’t know for sure any of the upgrades it would get.
The main stuff brought up in most articles is indeed engines, avionics, armament derived/taken from Su-57 tech

🤣

so do you have any sources this time?
i doubt it
becasue i have

The upgraded Su-35S doesn’t have a designation yet. It’ll probably be Su-35SM whenever it’s finished but until then that isn’t an actual designation for an aircraft.

According to George, Flankers can’t use Izd. 177/177S due to structural limitations, but this might not apply to Su-35S since it’s an upgraded airframe.

This would for sure be the main thing, the AESA radar that was teased at an expo a few weeks ago, which supposedly uses tech from N036.

Afaik Su-35S can already use all the weapons the Su-57 can.

Not all, current su35s still missing KH59MK2 and KH69. As well as r74m2 i think.

That is true. They might implement those.

I think Su-35S can use R-74M2 but I’m not sure.

thats basically the same missile


look like, but not the same inside.

difference is range / payload / seekers.

🤣

I believe the main reason for the current state of the MiG-29 is that the 13.0-14.0 BR is too chaotic. Let’s take a look at what monsters are present in this 1.0 BR space now.

13.0 version of the SU-27S
Two SU-30MKs that are 13.3 meters long and can carry missiles like a freight truck A SU-33 carrier-based aircraft
It can carry 8 R77 missiles and 4 R-73 missiles on the SU-27SM with a payload capacity of 13.7 tons.

We don’t even need to compare our planes with those from other countries. Let’s compare these MiGs with the Sukhois in the same BR. It’s like comparing a group of children with adults.

And in this cramped 1.0BR space, there are almost all the latest to the most advanced MiG-29 aircraft.

MIG-29 (9.12) Entered service in 1983

MiG-29 (9.13) Entered service in 1984

MiG-29M (9.15) was showcased in 1986
MIG-29SMT (I’m not sure if the information I found is for the model released in the game) entered service in 1998

MiG-29K (9.41) In 2007, it was developed from the 1988 model 9.31 and was delivered to the Indian Navy and the Russian Navy. Later, in 2013, it was upgraded to the MiG-29KR.

In this version 1.0 of BR, we can observe that MiG-29s from almost 30 years apart appear in the same battle. This is clearly due to the extremely compact design of BR.

9.19 entered service between 2009-2012 iirc.

In my collection of materials, there are several types of MiG-29SMT. The earliest batch was sold to Algeria, but was returned to Russia and kept by the air force for use. Later, there was another version that was directly purchased by the air force. Its name was also MiG-29SMT, but the project number seems to have changed.

that was still the 9.18

what we have ingame is the 9.19

yes because the got the L-150 instead of the Spo-15

Algeria only bought the 9.19

9.18 was Yemen and Eritrea

really
damn ig

@Balta779517-live any idea on when the 9.19 entered service with Russia?

and the L-150 was only standard issue on the 9.19R. with the only regular 9.19 getting the L-150 was red 22, probably part of testing program at state flight testing centre
