The original SU-30 and the SU-30M are completely different aircraft. That’s like comparing a modern F-15E to a 1980s F-15E. Russia bought the SU-30 based on its performance with the foreign operators like India. The SU-30 we have is from at least 2015 because that’s when an R-77-1 entered service.
Edit: he also clearly said SM2, which entered service is 2022
might need an update on that loadout list, cus the S-71M missile, which I can only assuming is a JASM equivalent with more range/warhead, seems to be capable of being mounted on both inner and outer pylons on the wings, as well as stacked side by side in both internal bays, which would suggest a full loadout could include 8x S-71M missiles + 2x R-73’s in the side internals.
Correction, actually. The outer one seems to be a different missile config, called S-71K, rather than M. The Tail of the missile is also slightly different.
F-22 operational history at least includes ensuring air superiority for strike packages even if it has not been involved in air to air combat, while the only role SU-57 is known to have preformed is ground attack with stand off weapons which the F22 has also done with the F22 having also done so at much closer ranges
talking nonsense on the internet won’t change the fact that the aircraft emerged in the midst of a conflict that gave it the opportunity to test its entire arsenal, including new weapons, and get air to air and air to ground kills… raptor never had it
Im not a su57 fan, Im not a f22 fan, those are just facts :)
su57 hasnt even gotten a air to air kill. atleast the raptor has shot down something. and again the raptor has done plenty of air to ground missions let alone all the interceptions it does.
its true what he said, su57 and t50 has done more combat than the f22. ukraine proved that su57 is active and has done pretty big damages compare to the f22, who we know is not the primary air to ground plane, even if they wanted so.
i will not say that the su57 got a air kill as most of the time its only is long range and it could either mig31 / su35 / su30sm2 or the su57 with R37-M.
one thing for sure is that su57 is doing good with striking target deep inside with kh69 who sams sometime cant intercept it.
su-57 has an air to air kill on its own drone lol (if it was that, not 100% sure).
At least its shown it can get close to ukr air space without being detected if it was an su-57
no not really the F22 has a good bit of ground attack history. and the only people who say the SU57 got a air to air kill is the bulgarian military (heavily russian biased) so dont think that is true either. everything that guy said either has no evidence (a lie) or just insulting people after doing 2 minutes of research proves him wrong
