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

Where is that from?

So your finally going to accept that Su-30smE=/=SM?

I never said they are the same

I said their top speed would be about the same

Since they have similar thrust and similar drag

The difference in induced drag due to difference in weight would be quite small …

And they are about the same … 1320 vs 1350 …

You didn’t answer … Where is this from?

ask @Yamahagi

Well, you posted it

Why do I feel it’s classified

Now. I feel the same…

I just noticed that the Su-34 centerline bar they modeled in the Su-30 is clipping into the tail boom, god I can’t wait for them to fix the 3d model problems

If it was classified so now its not anymore. You can find that picture on google.

Of course as source it is then unusable if it is classified.

Let’s see if we make it to the news again

“WT player leaked classified Su-30SM document to argue about Su-35’s normal fuel load”

Someone who actually knows Russian should look to see if it’s actually classified
Google translates the watermark into “Protected”

I also don’t understand how @Yamahagi comes into this
Did he give you the document and told you to post it here or something?

Theoretically, it could also be a fake. But who know.

Here is answer on your question:

Anyways, the fuel and speed figures in that picture don’t match the public brochure …

Neither that one do if we take claim that Su-30sm don’t have Fuel on the Vertical stabilizer.

This data is not so secret!..

that’s a 220kg discrepancy between the MK and SM.

You are not reading or translating correctly!..
This is not the maximum amount of fuel!

  1. Literally (not written in the brochure) _"Vyrabatyvayemaya(produced) capacity of fuel tanks… "otherwise called (Not merged fuel reserve.)…
  2. In the brochure _ “Maximum fuel reserve” that is, including the Not merged fuel reserve…
