Until the Kuznetsov comes out of “”“refit”“” I don’t forsee jack being done about russian naval aviation except for their ground based maritime aircraft.
hopefully we get more modern carriers in the next update, Russian jets only have a VTOL “Carrier” and the USS Forrestal was added 4 years ago. Would be cool if we get some 1980s-90s carriers from other nations as well
SM is better than the MKK and MKI in nearly every way.

I said the 29K will have a better FM technically than the current 29, since it is based on the 9.15 which is an inherently different aircraft.
It may be better than what the 33 may be considering it is an unstable aircraft
The SM is quite literally an MKI without modification. It lacks the superior cockpit systems of the MKI, as well as a domestic AESA and EW suite.
does the SM have thrust vectoring because I know some Su-30s do and some don’t, just like with the canards
It does.
30SM has AL-31FPs, while the 30SM2 has AL-41F-1S’s.

You’re right, it’ll probably come before both of those do, SM2 will come with them.
