Not sure if it’s been mentioned already but in a stream on Friday Oxy answered a question about the F-22 coming and said to not expect it this year.
“Will the F-22 be added after the F-15 or F-18? That is like over a year - well over a year away I think at the very very least do not expect that this year. That’s a new front.”

Unsure what to think about it. On one hand this is direct from someone at Gaijin but on the other hand the guesses which has been very reliable mentioned it coming for this year along with it matching the usual timeline of Gaijin rushing to get to the very modern additions they have been doing.
Physically the Su-27M (Su-35) doesn’t have much to do with the modern Su-35 series… there is often some confusion for that reason. Basically the Su-27M never went past the prototype phase so the Su-35 name was recycled. When it comes to modern versions the Su-35S is the Russian variant, and the Su-35 is the export variant’s name.
I thought he was just a host for their streams, I don’t think he works at Gaijin or that he has enough contact to the devs to know about this sort of stuff
