Yes,
Technically, it should not have a limit (as far as I am able to discern), but it is way better that the 10 km and brings it on par with other aircraft, so, hey, I’ll gladly take it.
The IRST seems to be back to be capable of being slewed (hope the IRST interface changes, otherwise, the displayed scan zone will be tiny). The scan speeds are back to real values (5 seconds for wide scan).
It is also not stabilized. I don’t know if it is realistic, but it will help with it missing targets.
No changes to the IRST detection ranges, yet, however.
The main difference between the Su-27SM3 and the Su-27SM is its adaptation to a new generation of ground-based aircraft.aviation ASUS, as well as new equipment for data exchange and transmission,9 fully compatible, for example, with the equipment of A-50U/Su-35S aircraft)…that is, the Su-27SM3 can work according to information received from the Radar and Su-35S systems…
2.The R-77-1 missile was added to the Su-27SM3 armament, respectively, the antenna, transmitter and data transmission channel of Radar radio correction were upgraded for the use of this missile at increased ranges…
3.Su-27SM2 is the unofficial name of the Su-27SM put into service by 22 IAP during the period (November 2007-2009)…These aircraft also have an intermediate version of the cockpit equipment (Su-27SM/Su-27SM3) and AL-31F-M1 engines (AL-31F series 42)…
The R-77-1 missile was put into service in 2010…Tests in the Su-27SM3 were completed in 2011…Serial production began in 2013…
1.If you find a photo of a Su-27 CM with R-77-1 missiles, it will be a “bomb”…
The first Su-27SM were transferred to the Air Force in December 2003…
It was first posted on the Rumor Round-Up and Discussion if i’m not wrong, a bit after Dev was updated, to be sure it’s better to wait for the Dataminers to do a full post of the stuff they found
