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

thx m8

are you talking about the KS-172 or R-37M?

KS-172 missile

yeah, that one’s just an awacs killer

But given the fact that the tech it would have also improved. I’ve seen a load of papers on these material side of things, coming close to non classified western stuff. Obviously application is a different thing but at least we know they are better than what they were a few years back.

one funny missile they could add that IS in service is the R-27EP

F100-PW-220 level?

what’s the MTBO of the PW-220?

the EP is real ?

Just material. Not actual engines.
But PW220 is definitely not where they’re at.

very real and very much in service

Yeah, just Passive radar homing

PW100 then?

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

it says 4000 cycles for hot sections and 8000 for cold on the PW-220

how many hours is a cycle? 1, 5, 50?

i have no idea, thats just what it says

np, thx nontheless

maybe with this you can convert cycles to flight hours through years, scrolled a little farther through the report
