makes me think they store fuel in the cockpit as well -_-

I would said its more close to 18t. But again we only know the Gross weight of 25300. That is with; 2 R-73+2 R-77 and 50% fuel + Kibhiny pod. That figure 25300 never change even when other numbers change. Its better to thing that Both Su-30sm and Su-35s weight the same. And wait for gaijin Sekrit document.

Reminds me of the Top Gear episode with the water filled car lmao
speaking of drinkable fluids in vehicles, would be funny if there was a chance for bottom bullet point to take effect ingame

I’m still amused they used Ethanol for the Tu-22s airconditioning. Didn’t even infuse it with chemicals to make it non-potable. Just straight up ethanol

This is from old Knaapo Brochure. From Stealth Flanker Calculation. Without missile its have about the same RCS of the Rafale. With full missile of course it have more than Rafale with full missile.
And from what i have read its not like they Applied RAM on the whole plane but key zone like the engine intake.
I’m aware the Rafale is AESA. The SU30 is PESA, which in the game means basically the same thing, except that the SU30’s radar in practicality actually scans faster and imo has much better scan areas. Rafales only advantage is the vertical gimbal limits

They are generally pretty close. Depending on the airframe they will remove one of the fuel tanks for the additional cockpit space.
They function identically in-game
Su-24, Su-25 pilots in the photos. Maybe they aren’t issued G suit on account of what they’re flying. Do A-10 pilots get G suit?
yes.
I know russian pilots get a G-suit, I just dk if it’s the half pants only Gsuit or the full body undersuit one (VKK?)
Okay it’s the bottom only g suit it seems
I mean, that’s kind of implied by “locks onto the target while still mounted on the helicopter”.
And that’s essentially the main point of helicopters to begin with … It’s not like we are talking about strategic bombers.
From ROE website:
Optional man in the loop in the terminal phase is nothing new … Doesn’t mean the seeker can’t track moving targets …
If you can send back a video feed to the operator and have the operator guide the missile in terminal phase towards a moving target, there’s no reason why you can’t do that with an automated algorithm onboard the missile …
It’s not like we are talking about old missiles from the era when computers were the size of a house …

I have seen LMUR used in FNF mode to hit buildings/UA positions I have not seen LMUR used to hit moving tanks and vehicles.
I have seen Ataka, Vikhrs but not LMUR.
The developer of the missile says the missile will fly to a predetermined or set coordinates. No mention of it able make necessary adjustments to or corrections to track targets.
If the missile could reliably track a moving target autonomously then Russia would likely promote it.
I agree though Russian technology is shrouded
TBF I think this is more attributed to the heavy AA environment near the front more than anything. That’s why both sides basically stuck to FPV drones (the one publicized that is)
Also it’s kind of useless against tanks because it only has a 25kg HE warhead for now
