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

As you have already been told above, the initial design for all Su-30s is the Su-27UB of the Irkutsk plant!.
1.Su-30/Su-30K-air defense fighters…
2.Su-30MK (1993)_The first demonstrator aircraft with that name…

Spoiler

  1. India signed a contract on November 30, 1996 for the supply of 40 Su-30K/Su-30MK units, the contract provided for 4 stages of deliveries with a gradual increase in combat capabilities…The Su-30Ks of the first batches were serial Su-30s with minor changes in equipment and navigation system…On June 11, 1997, the official presentation of the first eight Su-30Ks took place at the Lohegaon Airbase…The second batch of ten aircraft (1999) is officially called the Su-30MK (these aircraft were originally for Indonesia, which it was unable to purchase for financial reasons), although in India the first batch of Su-The 30K is often referred to as the Su-30MK…
  2. The Su-30MKI(T-10PMK-1) first flew on July 1, 1997…The first batch of 32 serial Su-30MKI from the Irkutsk plant was delivered to India in 2002-2004.
    5.Su-30MKK_The first flight was on May 19, 1999…
Spoiler

They differ from the Su-30MKI in the vertical tail of a larger plane, height and thickness from the Su-35 aircraft, the first with the same name, or rather the Su-35 (Su-27M).,engines and does not have a front horizontal tail…

Su-35(Su-27M)…

even then the russian huds are alot better than the rafale one imo
you get less clutter on your hud and still all the relevant information

also the rafale hud isnt even especaily good for simulator battles,
the only hud that is special/ better for simulator is the Eurofughter HUD because it is able to show you all your radar contacts at once which gives you great situational awarness

The flanker is one of the few planes that IMO are better looking with 2 seat

double pylons like the su27sm and it looks like it can carry a full r77 loadout + 2x r73, this give us 12 r77 + 2 r73 lol

I think it might be that or grom-2? I see foldable wings

to be honest I’m impressed that we will be able to carry 12 r77 + 2 r73, damn that’s a LOT of missiles (even if the r77’s aren’t that good)

Maybe we will get R-77-1. I honestly had terrible results with the R-77. I got most of my kills with R-73 and R-27ET.

Grom-2 doesnt have red paint on internal side of the “rocket motor”

Edit:
Grom-2 on Su-34

R77 are not the best, but the radar needs to be the big difference here

Yep you are probably right.

tbh i just use my r77s as short range missiles lol 8km or 9km shots works, max 13km or 15km, pass that i dont even bother shooting

This tbh. 10km at most. Anything beyond is more of the R-27ER work (at least it will reach target in reasonable time frame)
