The photo is our biggest proof as for now. But by gaijin own rules it should count, because “this does not prove that Su-30SM2 in this configuratio doesn’t exist”. This photo is of a serial production MiG-29K, not a prototype or pre-production vehicle, not a testbed. So, at least one serial production MiG-29K in such configuration exist. If it’s enough for SM2, it should be enough for 29K

I used his book as a source already
But… both are identical in avionics…
Moreover, Su-30 doesn’t have both pilots wearing HMS system as well
Ik, I feel like they are trying to be as difficult as possible here lol
Maybe they just don’t have any references to the HMS UI? So they are trying to shoot the whole operation down. But then they should give MiG-29K upgraded HMS at least, since MiG-29SMT has it as well
if they are saying it is russian made…
then we can just sent them the sources for the russian made HMD

without any photo evidence, unfortunately. Only on MiG-29M from Egypt. Even MiG-35 have only photos with sensors in the cockpit, not pilot wearing it on a helmet. But its probably worth a shot
If only Mig29M or Mig29k were similar in any way or be in some kind of unified platform or even a family…

You know gaijin. This would require some very hard convincing.

This is photo of the same airframe? If so we got them, 941 is MiG-29K, not KUB
I can’t prove it, but MiG-29KR aircraft use bort numbers 30–49, while the MiG-29KUB use bort numbers 50–53
From the information on Gorbunov (test pilot on a photo) he was presenting MiG-29M2 and MiG-35D on air shows. So photos are most likely unrelated
It’s kinda difficult to find an image of a MiG-29KR with the pilot inside and, on top of that, wearing the TopSight-E helmet
Well… there is only 1 dude here and here

Yeah, I’ve encountered same problem. That KUB photo is probably only one publically available
They accepted the argument on the 9.41SM and 9.41R but the moment it becomes a 9.41R vs a 9.47R it is an issue for some reason
