Apparently, the new ones UAC had delivered about a day ago have sort of sparked interest due to different size of intakes(al-41s have small % of increase)possibly pushing for an idea for al-41s.
Previously it was reported that the test had started for incorporating of these engines back in feb, and the production would be in the second half of this year.
I’ll link to a telegram(in a bit) post of russian identification of what was learned on the delivery batch around 2 months ago
What was definitely seen is a change in hud, introduction of a beefed N011 radar to use R-37M as you know the older N011 radars were not compatible and lacked range. And a set of different countermeasures from the earlier 30sm.
They have also reported upgraded ecm and other avionic upgrades which prolly dont matter warthunder wise.
Thinking Russia would do the easier method of modernization… truly a foolish mistake…
I’m just excited for whatever Su-34"M" will entail if it’s contract ever gets signed, same thing with that rumored Su-35S"M" the KnAAZ president talked about a year ago.
I would assume su-34m would be of similar configuration of the su-34e for Algerian Air Force. So a lws/maws and maybe new pods and maybe r-77 integration
Does anyone know where exactly the laser designator on the Su-30MK2 is? I noticed it could guide Kh-29L’s w/o a TGP, but I couldn’t find any Air to Ground camera like on the Su-34 or Su-25.
“fuel surge relief valve, vents to protect over pressurisation during heavy manoeuvres, positive or negative Gs, mostly negative Gs, The manoeuvre pulled by LCA before crash ends in a negative G sink as the aircraft is thrown outwards from the outward momentum of the spiral flight”
it is unrelated to the cause of the crash, which is due to pilots mistake.
U can put anything on the pilot, but it is impossible to tell at this point. It could well be malfunction of the flight control system, there are abnormal pitches seen in HAL’s performance, and I doubt that is completely ‘pilot’s’ mistake.
Also just saying the same manoeuvre was performed at earlier airshows (successfully), and comparing the footage, clearly when the plane is taking the turn this time there was a significant pause, where it appears for some reason the plane turned towards the wrong side, which lead to lost of alt and ultimately the crash. This could be either pilot, flight control or even some sort of external factor.
Can someone explain why I see dogfight clips of Rafales, Typhoons, F-2’s at 400-450 kmph and not struggling to maneuver but when I try that in the Su-30SM I’m struggling not to fall out of the sky
