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

i think they just messed up, 213s is roughly when the actual rocket was visible so it might be the same incident

those articles were posted before the hud pics were released.

looks like r-27 may be overperforming heavily, will be writing a report to make it ~25 gs

@Grimtax you think the assessment is correct? I know you’ve read through this book b4, what you think?

are there any reports about the seeker?

this doc also goes over seekerhead, which I think has already been reported b4 but denied though.

seekerhead? yeah. maybe not maneuverability though, as dual plane has explicitly been denied. so if i put in a report for r-27 should be limited to 25g single plane, that might go through (if im understanding it right)

This post was flagged by the community and is temporarily hidden.

to be fair it excludes another 44 recorded missile uses that were listed in logistics data but not confirmed as actual combat engagements. so its really 30/88
