i would think, that it is supposed to work like on the Su-17 where the pilot puts the crosshair on the hud over whatever he wants to shoot at
I thought it was accepted… went here to check and i would have thought it would have been fixed already
It being accepted doesn’t mean anything
They can still reject it or forget about it for an indefinite amount of years
anyone know the original source looks like its some documentary or news video? I am assuming the channel is Russian since i haven’t been able to find it
It could be this one but the video is blocked in Japan so i cant really check it

video is also unavailable for me as well sadly
T-24 is the channel name, i watched the ‘og’ video nothing too interesting… I would have shared but the site is less than ideal… (og from the article got nuked after stuff IRL became a bit not ideal… so no YT)
- Flare holes were not shown
- As you see here same Air brake as in Mig29M (in-game)
- Writing in red (caution carbon fiber)
- No flare dispenser on the spine
- Was deployed…
- Plane has 6k hour life time (assuming it is the aiframe body) apparently it is double the previous ones, idk which one exactly
Idk how but apparently engine swap takes only 58m cool i guess, and plane has even more composite + apparently some honeycomb filling is aluminium or fiber-glass / carbon for radio transparency reasons (antennas on the wingtips and etc) but idk how aluminium is radio transparent…
Models were dated a bit in a couple of places
They also called it 4++ with ability to hold itself in some parts against 5th gens… i mean if WT told me anything you need shit ton of flares / chaff for that so no…
Internal fuel tanks are up to 4tons from 3.6t and 9t engine thrust
NVM Here are the dispenser but idk, it doesnt look fatty enought to be the ‘package’ from in-game SMT
Hope it really isnt 18+18
ps why dont they just replace the fuel tank with drag container that spews out shit ton of CM like the one on the F18 variants
You mean like BOL pods?
As far as I know Russia hasn’t developed any sort of similiar countermeasure system that can be fitted to rails without compromising loadouts.
who needs more A2A or A2G munitions if you can just bring the Chaff or Flare S-8 rockets
No i mean zis, just put flares and chaff on it and let it spam at 1hz or higher, duh easy cm suite
you dont need chaff on a towed decoy
since it is a jammer
I don’t think modern IIR missiles concern themselves with S-8 rockets.
Idk why dont they put the double pylon extender on the mig29 (the one from center pylon’s of Su30SM 1-2 in the game)
Uhm… if towed thingie can jam why big flying thingie cant? /s
Somehow the footage of Mig29k looks much more eco friendly
Actually footage is from 2016 and u still can see Su33’s on the deck
On this one it looks more modern (barely visible yeah…)
sure but in the video i sent it already looks more modern than this
so at some point they updated the symbology
Yeah if only cameras back then were better, btw why are HMD’s glossy don’t u kinda need it to be visible to the pilot? Why not matte ?
bc you cant easily make a see through matte surface
and you kinda want your HUD to be see through
