I was trying to find some info on it in my su35 book, but the best I could find is just a mention of it in the overall explanation of the ECM modules, sadly no specific data.

I mean tbf with how new the Su-35S is it’s probably classified or something of the sort.
Would it be wrong to assume they’re at least of similar quality to the mig 29m maws? So, 50 km missile launch detection, 5km actual tracking?
It’s probably a lot better, considering the Su-35S is much newer than the MiG-29M
is the su-30sm hms overperforming? currrently it’s able to go all the way -45 degrees down instead of -35, ill throw up a report if this is accurate. also, this doesn’t mention hms for radar, only ir. was doing research on the su-35s and came across this
@ron_23 Pinging you here because I wanted to ask another question about the SM3 and not fill the F-14 Thread.
Can’t the SM3 also carry R-77-1s and not just the R-77?
Yes afaik
So, the Su-27SM is trying to be the SM3 by using the same engine (trialed on SM1s, so fair enough)
The same number of missiles
But it doesn’t have the right missile layout (SM3 doesn’t have dual pylons but has an extra wing hardpoint)
And it doesn’t have the same missiles as the SM3
… how odd.
In essence it is a mishmash.

yes
If they removed the Dual pylons, it could probably be an SM1, but like…

HMD you say, yaya ya, in Su27 target about 4km away i can even smell his engine fuel but for some reason no lock for r-27er launch had to cycle all the way to get ET (extra terrestrial) only then was I able to launch and get him.
Guys SM3 like the SM are stop gap programs designed to get funding, the SU30 SM2 and the Su-35, Mig35 and Mig29M are substantial upgrades over the Su-27 and Mig 29 airframes. Once they get introduced we should see substantial improvement in flight performance in air rb.
If u can’t with HMD, you also have HMS IR so you can lock with the hms then quckly switch to the hmd.
That’s what i typically do when one of your scenarios happen
what the hell gamers why doesn’t the su27 at 13.0 get 2 R27ER stock? Where is my russian bias? This was a rough stock grind.
looks like this was already reported 2 years ago on the mig 29 smt… they just havent done anything after accepting it
Ahh yes piano mode, from tws radar to Ir mode then HMD Ir then back to TWS radar mode, then again regular hmd mode hmmm. Meanwhile rafale and grippen click click mode hmmm.
no, you lock them with hms ir, then switch to regualr hmd and the job is done
Ok but how do you start off when flying in TWS mode or SRC PD? Or do you go straight into Ir mode. If you want to get hms ir you need to switch to ir mode first then select hms ir.
