Sukhoi Su-27/30/33/35/37 Flanker series & Su-34 Fullback - History, Design, Performance & Dissection (Part 1)

I said that before!

Im sure the plan was to give Russia, Ukraine…but less likely now

DDR ahould have been part of a Warsaw pact tree.
Including Hungary, Romania, Poland, Czech etc

Pls no… I don’t want any western vehicles in SOV TT.

Yea it would be nice to see that kind of nation.

If the British want to balance the F-15E and F-16, then you can easily add Singapore and Leopard Tanks from the same place…
But the T-90 and Su-30MKI in England are too much…

British have the EFT to balance the F-15E and F-16

I was referring to the earlier Battle Ratings…Singapore had the F-16A Block 15 OCU and F-16C instead of the MiG-21 Bizon, and England also has the Grippen… why do they need the Su-30MKI?.There is an option with the F-15…
By the way, the Singaporean F-16C with a twist…
Python-5 air-to-air missiles
ELL-8212 electronic warfare containers from IAI/ELTA;
helmet-mounted DASH sights from Elbit Maarakhot.

to make russian mains mad about that MKI has TGP, Spice, etc

Su-30SM also can use TGP that’s not a problem to install it. Russian players are just mad about Brits getting everything they want.

I’ve already written about this recently…
You can add Su-30SM of Kazakhstan, they bought Litening-3…
Spice can be replaced-…https://topwar.ru/243295-novinka-specoperacii-universalnyj-mezhvidovoj-planirujuschij-boepripas-umpb-d-30sn.html?ysclid=m5bfbg0g50978815238

In general, most Western users have a misconception about the use of the Su-30SM in Russia…
In Russia, this is as planned since the first version of 1992-it is a long-range barrage interceptor, is in service with air defense regiments throughout Russia and is very limited in its use SVO…Also this summer, the Su-30SM/CM2 were withdrawn from the Russian Naval Aviation to the Russian Air Force…

The Su-30s are used for right now.
They share QRF and escort duties of the Su-34s with the Su-35
They carry an ARM
2 R-37s
R-77

Not a single Su-30 has been seen with a TGP during the SMO

Pretty sure that its not true. Someone posted a vid here about how the SM has being doing Ground attacks. And that the SM2 was “rushed” so it can do it even better with new weapon options.

Su-30SM in game won’t change anything notably unless they add R-37 for it, which will give it long range ability, so the main problem of it will become non-existing

They have launched ARM and stand off munitons but more recently they are escorting Su-34 and are sharing that with the Su-35 and QRA responsibilities

Is there a chance the Su-30 will come in the naval line?

I do not know, maybe the translator translated something incorrectly…
The main use in Russia is Air defense…

Exactly escort duties and air defence (QRF) Quick reaction force (QRA) Quick reaction alert.

I think we both agree Su-30 are not being used in a ground attack capacity.

Although in the Air Forces of other countries, for example, the Su-30MKI of India is designed, among other things, for missions that the Su-34 performs in Russia…

Bigger question is, will the Su-30SM have a realistic payload or will it receive the fictitious double R-77 belly racks as seen on the Su-27SM?

Is having a better FM, Radar a good enough trade off for a payload reduction?
