Can’t wait to play it on smolensk and have to turn away from the furball 1 minute into the match
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.

It’s not AL-41F-1S, According to someone I trust a decent bit, that won’t happen till ~27-28…
And according to the same person, the 31FPs were uprated/modified to run a bit hotter, or something along those lines.
They didn’t abandon the idea, Irbis into 30SM2 is just a lie made up by people, and AL-41F-1S just hasn’t happened yet.

They probably thought upgraded bars means irbis instead of upgraded bars meaning… well upgraded bars lol
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
CM disclosure next week most likely, I hope we can get some insight of what could be the next addition.
Y’all know which jet I mean

Probably, I’d personally hope it’d be more indepth, something kind of on par with Su-30SM2, ie AL-41F-1S, new radar, maybe a new EO suite, etc etc
Oh, maybe an actual RWR too but that might be asking too much…

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.
It apparently just uses the laser in its irst

Kinda what I assumed, but I wasn’t sure.
lots of other stuff in that area, and it could be the result of poor maintenance or a deeper flaw
i rewatched the video, i dont see any white smoke while its flying/falling

Decided to spend 80 dolla dolla so I can say I have every flanker again. (at least the Russian ones, the Chinese ones will come soon.)
would you like the video ?
like i said, i saw it and there is no white smoke coming from the engine
That was not from the engine
“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.
