Crazy guy thinks that flying at low altitude is enough to maintain air superiority. Caracol where are the ECMs?
But this nozzle is for AL-31/41…, not KLIVT…The original patent was issued in 2006…
And what does KLIVT have to do with it? I’ve lost the thread of the dialogue. KLIVT appeared earlier
There is an all-angle nozzle for AL-31/41… but there is a conflict of interest between NPO SATURN and NPC SALYUT (although now both companies are members of the ODK) - Saturn does not have a license for the Salyut nozzle… how the RF Ministry of Defense coordinates orders for engines and nobody knows the design…
By 2007 Russian jet engine maker Salut had spent $40 million on developing the AL-31FM1 engine for Su-27, Su-30, Su-33 and other Sukhoi aircraft and successfully completed its tests in October 2006. The modernized version of the famed AL-31F engine features improved thrust characteristics, a 15% increase in combat effectiveness and cycle life, and reduced maintenance costs. The AL-31FM1 will be initially installed on Su-27SM Flanker fighters in service with the Russian Air Force, but it also has a high export potential, a company official said.

Where did you find that? Looks unusual
In fact, Gaijin made a grave mistake. The R-77 and RVV-AE are different missiles
R-77 100km RVV-AE-80km
