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

Well tbf what we know about Chinese engines stopped when a Xi came to power.

^^ true

And tbh the engine capabilities of China changes every few uears. If u think about it, J8F to J20 took less than a decade. This might not be the case for engine but just that this stuff changes so quickly.

About 6 R-37M

Damn, so 2 on wings, 2 between engines, and 2 on intakes (possibly)

is the R-37M a phoenix/fakour type missile stupid fast and long burn time but cant pull Gs for shit?

yes it is

it is said to reach mach 5 and has a max range of 400km

IRL it can shoot down fighters. But to be fair, in WT the planes have a maximum overload of 10-16G

It has ok Gs just doesn’t hit most of the time. With this type of range, u are given like minutes to dodge, unless it is an EWC or AEWC aircraft you will easily get away, just that it forces u off the mission.

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

That’s their account. The hit rate is ultra low, but since quite a lot are fired quite a lot of jets were shot down. Most of the time it just forces defensive manoeuvres which stops u from getting things done.

sure but that were ultra long range shots (100km+) we wont see that in wt, bc the maps are to small

Minimum of 24 gs

Is that launched from a MiG 31 or a Su-35 genuinely interested?

Export variant is said to have 200km range, not sure about the one Russians use

probably from the Mig-31

there is a HUD video of an Su-35S launching it at 160 -180km, dont know the speed of the Su-35S tho, because it was blurred

Do you know the source of it having 400km range is from?

It was more I know MiG 31 launch air versions of Kinzhal and they get high and really fast to increase range.

it also launched that one in the NEZ xD
