So… Izdeliye 20? The engine that never once left cell?

Where did I say they were the same engine?

Well that is what they sort of plan on installing since we were talking about ‘newest flanker’. Or otherwise they might have done it and just we have no idea. I mean up to this point, I can’t tell Russian jet engines by nozzle anymore.

Typhoon is made for higher altitudes and speeds, has low wave drag and good supersonic performance. There’s no reason to believe it would be any worse in these conditions than the Su 35. Given the Su 27’s performance at transonic and supersonic speeds relative to the F-15, I think the Su 35 will similarly be a bit worse than Western aircraft in these conditions.

But that its what its suppose to be or aim at. Its don’t have 932mm of diameter like Al-41F-1/117s on Su-35s. That is why it can be installed on Al-31 fighters (excluding J-10) without modifications. Even when it was present at Zhuhai. It was offered as an upgrade for AL-31 jet fighter… “The engine corresponds to the AL-31F engine in terms of dimensions and weight, which ensures complete interchangeability with the engines of the current stage.”

There is people that said that the engine its no ready. And Russian just want partners.

Yea my bad i mean to said 14 tf or 30,860 lbf.

For what “FlankerChan” said Its use BARS mechanic parts and steering.

For what i remember reading that engine its too big, heavy and expansive. That’s why it wasn’t an option for Su-57. I also remember reading that Russia still have like 10 AL-41 stored somewhere.

That is not at all what anybody is planning on using… The “newest flanker” (Su-30SM2) even uses AL-41F-1S, not AL-41F.

Might have just done what? Revived a 2+ decade old failure of an engine and magically shoved it into a Flanker?
You’re joking, right?

Sorry to say, but that’s quite possibly the easiest thing to do.

Continuing on the max speed issue:

I found another example that uses a 1.1 multiplier instead of 1.05:

JF-17

According to the manufacturer’s website the max Mach number is 1.6 and Max IAS is 700 kt

In the game the limits are Mach 1.76 and 1,430 km/h (772 kt)

Not sure who pulled the strings, but thank you

@DirectSupport @MythicPi

Now we have to see if it gets shut down by the devs or not …

why TF does it say not a bug twice?

To really emphasize that it’s not a bug

@Gunjob I found some sources (pictures, video and informations) which may prove (maybe not) that Su-34NVO may have thermal cam. Problem is that some of them are from recent conflict. Is way how to share found data?

Hey, if its from a current conflict it can’t be used apologies.

It had that thermal cam before conflict. Only most of pictures/video which probably prove that are from current conflict. Maybe I can post only part of data which are not from current conflict and remained data as direct message for people who will request them?

I hope you’re not talking about this picture.

No. The M443 Raduga-VM, from what I’ve seen, doesn’t have the ability to look ahead. Only straight down from the UKR-OE container.

I am not sure if this is UKR-OE container but on bottom side we can see rectangular window.

That looks like just a contrast TV feed and not FLIR/Thermals
