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 ?

I’ve see that a lot today. On the F-22vsSu-57. Someone was cry about people “Flagging” his comment. I checked the whole thread and he don’t have a single flagged comment…
And when the forum delete post. Its more of mod doing it that other people flagging it.
Are there any photos of the production Su-27M airframes? How were they painted?
Wikipedia claims that there were only 3 production Su-27M airframes, 9 pre-production and 2 prototypes. I believe this is a photo of one of the production airframes.
Look up Su-35S and you pretty much get what you wanted lol. Oh you mean the canard ones
I can only find the 5 that was given to the Russian Knights, afaik 3 (So 1 and 2 Blue is the prototype 703 and 712 from what I read) of these aircraft are the production aircrafts

On an unrelated note, seems like early Su-27 had the HDD in a different place
Burmese Su-30SMEs also gets IKSh-1M HUDs now instead of Thales 3022?
The Su-30SM bleeds a lot of speed at high altitude. Much more than at 5km. Also much more than the rafale.
Is this an airframe issue or an engine issue
Mainly an airframe issue, due to the insane speed bleeds while turning, and the increased weight of the su30 doesn’t help either…
Is this an Su-27S or SK photo? It could be export version with slightly altered cockpit.
No idea, it just says Su-27 Early
Early could also mean pre-production aircrafts or, first batches of production airframes…
Some say we already fly T-10 in game based on the airframe performance. But i doubt that this cockpit would be a final form, since even MiG-29 has a radar TV screen. Although it could be like with MiG-23 and only projected on the HUD.

“Not a bug”
@Gunjob Can you ask for an explanation please?
I even gave you Zaslon as an example.
Which is a much older PESA from the same manufacturer, and it was known to have been limited by the processing power of its computer, due to unavailability of faster computers in the Soviet Union at the time, and even that one’s largest scan pattern is three times as large as what Su-30SM’s Bars radar gets in the game.

i also pinged a guy on discord, that might be able to help
I will go little bit about Su-34NVO:
M433 Raduga-VM is thermal cam but question is if it can operator use it to find and lock targets or it is only to gain data and send it to ground by datalink.
@k_stepanovich @Gunjob @Smin1080p_WT
This answer makes absolutely no sense.
1- The zone for tracking “already known targets” would be at a minimum the limits of the electronic beam steering.
Which is ±45 by ±40 deg (or ±45 by ±45 deg from more recent sources), which would be:
45 * 2 * 40 * 2 = 7200 square degrees, and not 5500 square degrees.
2- The source literally says “зона сканирования при одновременном
сопровождении целей, кв. Град. 5.500”
“scanning zone with simultaneous target tracking”
It’s obviously not just “Tracking zone” otherwise they wouldn’t use the phrase “зона сканирования” (“Scanning zone”).
3- Right underneath it, it specifies the ACM scan patterns. It’s obvious that this would be the (largest) TWS/BVR scan pattern.
I.e.
BVR scan pattern = …
ACM scan pattern = …
Spoiler
4- I already gave you the example of Zaslon which is a much older PESA from the same manufacturer and was limited by the processing power of its computer. Even that one gets 90x20 = 1800 square degrees scan pattern.
So how is the much more modern Bars limited to 600 square degrees?
Did it evolve but backwards?
