I kinda had the feeling from testflying it, is it correct is the real question?
Thanks btw
at least they didn’t paste the thrust value lmao
This thing is quite busted for the BR, I thought it would be much, much heavier than it is, but it’s actually not a massive boat, and the kit it has is nice for air RB.
has the N011M radar model right now aswell
It’s lighter than Su-30(Su-27PU)
Irl or in game? Idk what the empty weight should be, I would assume 18400 but I don’t actually have the number on me
In a downtier that is. Anyting about 13.7 is a suffering town straight up.
Yea this thing is gonna be nuts. Like to the point where I’m considering whether I should buy it for full price instead of the Mig23ML on sale to grind Russia in the next few weeks. Flankers are way more fun.

In game, IRL Su-30 weight 17700kg empty
which su-30? also what source?
The first one, Su-27PU aka Su-30
sources:
https://ruslet.webnode.cz/technika/ruska-technika/letecka-technika/p-o-suchoj/su-30-30k-flanker-f-variant-1-
Su-27 family - Yefim Gordon
Su-27 Sukhoi Design and development - Mil tech series Hans Halberstat
That sourced said Su-35s its 16500kg. I remember reading that only 901 and 902 have that weight but they lack some equipment. IF i have to guess IRBIS and Khibiny.
Which one of those sources? Can you point it out?
The CZ page (first one). Su-35S (Flanker M) :: Ruslet
It also talk about 901;
" Su-35-1 – the first flight prototype of the Su-35S (Flanker M ) aircraft. This machine took to the skies for the first time on February 19, 2008 and its mission was to verify the performance characteristics, the KSU-35 control system and the Al-41F-1S engines. For this reason, it lacked the installation of a radar and an electro-optical sensor. Therefore, the housing of the optics of the electro-optical sensor of the Su-35-1 prototype was not transparent. In addition, a Su-27 (Flanker B ) PVD was embedded in the tip of the nose dielectric cover of the radar antenna of this machine. At the same time, all subsequent examples of the Su-35S (Flanker M ) aircraft lack the aforementioned PVD."
Edit: Now someone has to explain how its when from 16500 to 19000 kgs. Almost 2.5tons heavier.

Can the su-30 get a better radar?
Do we have more information on the dual r77 rack?
