Side by side flanker with the standard radome is… strange when I’m used to the Su-34 duck nose.

Also looks like that other flanker is a convertible, pilot is flying with the canopy open.

Just su35 things lol
(Actually a su30mkk but with canards and su27m/su35 avionics)

It also has Su-27M tail it seems, what even is this thing?
livejournal post says it’s Su-35UB. So, trainer for Su-27M that never came? Looking at the airframe it has much more common to Su-27M than Su-35S.

I hope might comes after decompression I really want a reason to use it over su35 as mig29s look dope.

Well, it should technically be at a lower BR than Su-35. At this point i take any Fulcrum over nothing tbh, for as much as i love Flankers, i want some variety in the roster, even if it isn’t “hard meta”

Flankers aren’t exactly meta either, they get touched by the average delta canard plane

That’s fair, but Su-30SM is still more meta than something like F-15C. Remove Rafale and Su-30 will pretty much compete with Euromid for the best top tier jet award because Euromid is very gimped by schizo radar and MID-120s

I didn’t see it posted here and since Korea is confirmed for future i figured it should be here.

It doesnt appear to be straight up chinese or russian missiles but new missiles. Whether they are fully indigenous or technology transfers from Russia or China its of course unclear.

Those could be quite funny as they have “upgraded avionics” whatever that means

what could these large boxes on the wing tips on the 2007 #154 MiG-35 tech demonstrator be? its the only one that has this feature

By su35 I am talking about su27m yes

EW equipment maybe?

i am coping that gaijin will pull Su-33 and add sneaky Fulcrum in this update.

Depends on how long the dev server is, if it’s around 2 weeks we might see something unexcpected, and yep a fulcrum would be a nice choice.

Russia was cucked with air updates since Su-30SM, only thing we got is a premium flanker at questionable br

Yeah except for the prem MK it was very dry, they had a few opportunities to add maybe a naval 29 or a new variant in general, but nah.

I was almost sure one was gonna drop during the June patch.

does anyone have pics of #152 and #153 prototypes of the MiG-29M 9.15?

Nothing. They were the earliest and with the level of secrecy probably never close to any camera.

This is one of the earliest photos of MiG-29M so it might be 152 or 153 airframes
