Su-27SM: Ferocious Flanker!

R-37M is a higher class than meteor

27SM is late 1990s,early 2000s iirc

2004 according to the devs

R-37M can’t even be used at its full capacity because of the IRBIS-Es limited range

Is PL-12 in DCS even without any mods? JF-17 have SD-10 which is PL-12 but export so less range. And J-11 have only R-77s

No you said this, which is wrong. First MSIP plane upgrades happened before 2010, i just gave an example of a planned timeline, which itself proves that they existed before.

Then I don’t believe so

Yes but they finished in 2010, which is why in a post a tad above what you just replied to, I said that

You’re talking to a guy who thinks Su-57 is on par with F-22 and F-35 in stealth category while also claims Russia mass producing Su-57.

Wouldnt advice to do that.

Controversial

And that too

It is fully used on the MiG-31

Which is really not an amazing platform for more than being a missile bus. But I must admit that if we are talking about it being used off a radar platform such as the MiG-31 it is a good missile (based on the paper statistics.)

Not really, starting from A models all Eagles does have better flight performance then Mig-29’s.

Even A models did have better situational awareness which gives better survivability, not gonna even talk about how Israel F-15 managed to fly with one wing and landed perfectly fine.

This is a high-speed interceptor flying at high altitudes and speeds.

Which is the only plane that can use R37M with its full potantial, unless Russians did major improvements on their Su-27 family and Su-57.

Where?Max speed yes.The flight range is yes-but this is a consequence of the size.Otherwise, there are no advantages.

Situational awareness does not relate to survivability.The flight of the F-15s with one part of the wing is an isolated incident. Then there is speculation.It depends on where and which missile hits the plane

The Su-27 is already unlikely.But in the Su-57 yes

Acceleration, time to reach altitude, high altitude performance, flight performance with full loadout.

It does, without awareness you cant survive against multiple threats.

Still proves that F-15 can survive under extreme incidents, never saw any plane can do that, including other Nato planes.

I was reffering to Sukhoi family actually.

So im asking again, did Russians made major improvements on Sukhoi-30/33/35’s that will allow to them use R-37M with its full potentiel?
