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)

It’s getting interesting …

Using strawman to reject a report is quite funny
Spoiler
I never said that the “1400 kph” is the “rip speed”
I said it’s the structural limit as specified by the manual:

The rip speed in the game of course will be calculated by applying the 1.05 rule that is applied to all planes. There’s no reason why Su-27 should be different (And use a 1.1 multiplier).
Yes the plane doesn’t instantly explode when going over the structural limit (Vne), but neither does any other plane …
“The source only says that at this speed one can fly indefinitely” is also meaningless … Of course it can (like almost all aircrafts can), when the limit is due to structural strength and not due to the engine, as specified by the manual …
I escalated the situation with the “higher ups” and I’ve been basically told that this guy is a member of the Russian team and that “he says that the source doesn’t say anything about Vne”
@Gunjob Perhaps you can try to explain the situation to them …
It quite literally says “Max speed = 1400 km/h. Reason: Structural strength”

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

Yeah it is contrast TV. Looks like that.

I found video where is shown that container:
Dunno if this is the right thread for it, but either way :)
Thats not fuel tank. Fuel tanks are that white ones. Containers from UKR series are colored blue with a gray cone. For example UKR-RT container:

На территории России и Беларуси завершились военные учения в рамках Союзного государства «Запад-2021». В маневрах, в частности, были задействованы сверхзвуковые истребители-бомбардировщики Су-34, во внешнем оснащении которых очевидцы заметили...
Yep its probably UKR pod combined with fuel tank.
and what would that mean for War Thunder?
or to be more percise what is the UKR pod capable of?
