Su-33 have 4x B-8M what is together 80 dipoles (chaffs). However, there is a problem that these rocket launchers are located on the pylons for the R-27ET, so if they were added, you can equip them at the cost of losing two missiles.

Yeah, you are right.

does the su35sm exist? I’ve already searched for information about it, and there’s almost nothing, just an article or two from questionable sources

You sure you’re not referring to Su-35BM? BM standing for Bolshoy Modernatziye - my Russian is rusty - ‘Big Modernising’.

To my knowledge there isn’t a 35SM.

does Su-25BM stand for same thing? i always thought it was “belarus modernization” or something along thos lines

Well the handle ‘BM’ after a plane designation is usually Bolshoy Modernatziye. Certainly when it comes to Russian stuff used by the Russians. Not sure if the Belorussians have their own conventions.

M is usually Modernatziye or some similar tag ‘Modernised’.

S - I forget the Russian word - but it roughly means Combatant.

Hence SM is Combatant/Modernised.

As always - there are exceptions to the rule. The MiG-25PD for example does not have lifting engines… you’d combine the P (Interceptor) with the D (Upgraded) to give PD.

Is there any chance we will get Su-35BM(T-10BM) soon?

Isn’t that just the Pre-serial name for the Su-35s? Also why the Serbian wiki has too much info Sukhoi Su-35S - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia about the Su-35s

4 protytope/demonstrators for new Su-35. I don’t how many changes were made in the aircraft maybe materials, weapons or something else. But i really want to see it in game. Maybe it will help be right tool to fight EFT spam.

Okay - I’m probably thinking of S - Stroyevoy on something totally different.

hell yeah brother

It’s the best

another su-27 clip I wanted to share, showing off its ability to come in swinging to a fight with its sheer amount of missiles and how good each missile type is

(and also its shoddy radar at the start)

This things a UFO! diving at the deck like that over Mach 1.2 and you pulled out of at those speeds!
Radar looks rough Typhoon is similar…

I pulled airbrake and lowered throttle to do it, but yeah it handles decent. I am just happy with the ability to spew effective missiles at multiple targets

Not sure that would save you from the inertia…acting too much like a TVC SU-27
The amount of missiles the Su-27 carries is wild!
