Sukhoi Su-27/30/33/35/37 Flanker series & Su-34 Fullback - History, Design, Performance & Dissection (Part 2)

Damn, limit is 10k? Unfortunate

It’s the gunner not the pilot tbf

Very true

Can someone tell me if this is right?
So to confirm:
Early to late 90s - su-27(m) produced. Modernization of the original su27s. However, not put into service, with a few units being transferred to the Russian knights. Only prototypes. Also referred to as “Su-35”. Lacks dual r-77 mounts.
Early 2000s till now - su-35(s) prototyped and produced for Russian Air Force, with redesigned engines that supports dual r77 pylons between the intakes and new no35 radar. Different from the original su-27(m) (based on it? Almost definitely). Separate development from su27m. Put into service with Algeria, china and maybe iran(not sure about this one)

Su-27M is related to the Su-35 and Su-37 development cycle afaik

Isn’t this the Su-30MK?

I’m pretty sure Algeria and china have su35s, not sure about Iran though

Apparently the airframes that were originally built for Egypt and were reportedly bought by Iran (after Egypt cancelled their order due to threats from the US), were delivered to Algeria instead:

Spoiler

I bet they bought it for a bargain deal lol

So now algeria has both su35 and su30 mka… and soon theyre also gonna get the su-57

Hmm. I just noticed that the scan pattern report for the BARS got accepted tho, hopefully that gets worked on :)

But somehow video evidence was enough for Rafale etc

the su-30 irst is gimped anyways rn, and we cant even report it because it is a copy and paste mistake from the devs

It was not, report for Rafale IRST scan speed was shut down since video is not evidence.

Yeah, I looked up the IRST scan rate report
I stand corrected, seems like they don’t accept video for IRST scan rate

From the previous discussion regarding win rates.

One thing I have noticed is when I am using the Su30, I barely ever see any games with france on both teams, while Russia is mostly fighting against France with mixed teams.

The Rafael is just one step above everything else

A question from the old thread:

Does anyone have a graph comparing the thrust of the AL-31 and AL-41?

Way too many people flagging replies.
The discussion was pertinent to the discussion ragarding the Su-30 and Su-34 primary CAS weapon.

And it was in no way confrontational

Wrong thread ?
