But China is not the only nation who operate them…
Yep but they still do and are the original buyer, so it’ll be fun to see them not get it
Also Russia could’ve gotten the M2 that they themselves operate instead
It would be the best punch line ever after drama with VT4
I mean yeah but it’s gonna be a very mid plane so no one is gonna care, what would make them freak out would be not getting the Su-35S for example
scratched my head on why Venezuela, isn’t RuAF also has Komsomolsk variant of Su-30, which they called Su-30M2, although not as many as Su-30SM in their fleet
They don’t have Su-35S, their variant is called Su-35 or Su-35SE. S in only operated by VKS
export Su-35S is just Su-35
Venezuelan one can carry Chinese missiles, maybe that’s why? Or just because Gaijin loves to give stuff from different countries as a premiums? We already have 2 Su-25s from different countries and an Su-22M3
I know but it’s the exact same plane
I’m used to saying Su-35S to avoid confusion with the Su-27M since some people freak out when you don’t
Em no
Also we don’t know if chinese have any A2G weapon integrated to it.
Ah alright didn’t know it was that different, in my defense not a single source I ever found mentioned differences with the 35S
am i dumbt or are most of these just from having slightly different angle, pylons off and the lights off lmao.
Minor or slighly differences in sensors and thats it imo
So Su-30MK2 will be just glorified MiG-29 Sniper?
Nah, its more interesting to branch out to other nations for premiums like this
First Venezuela vehicle ingame I believe
Why not? A Venezuelan MK2 is more interesting, unique camos and roundels, first vehicle from Venezuela
The Su-30M2 can still be added in the future as a tech/event/premium/squadron
LWS sensors are missing in the chinese version.
My copium take is that since it was just made as a trainer, it would worse avionics. Somehow
M2 has same avionics as 27SM or MK2. Ir’s one of the reasons why they are used as trainers for 27SM.
