Sukhoi Su-27/30/33/35/37 Flanker series & Su-34 Fullback - History, Design, Performance & Dissection (Part 2)

Well, the fact that it has double the detection range bugs me. Irbis has double the range of Bars and that thing has twice the power output. You can’t just reach this by simple “modification”

Well it’s clearly not irbis. It’s probably just upgraded bars variants we don’t know of. Just bars m with more range

Knowing secrecy of Russian military firsthand - we might never know

Maybe Belarus will shed some light eventually, they are the only one who also has SM2

No, it doesn’t use irbis nor is it planned to get it.

It’s only planned to get AL-41F-1S, and it won’t be getting those for a while.

God damn it Kizvy

Just because a bunch of things parrot the same wrong information doesn’t mean it right.

I mean, it works toward you as well, doesn’t it?

I know that, but no one bothered giving any sources the previous times
Thank you for being better than them

No It was in storm warning update

Like sources/wrong info being parroted? yeah it’s worked on me before, happens to everyone. Ain’t judging them for saying it.

I literally said it’s only gonna get the engines eventually and never getting irbis lol.
And for the source I literally linked mod video

No, you’re too QUICK to respond smh… I keep trying to make responses to answer questions and then I see you’ve already done it minutes ago

In Belarus documentary about SM2 their airforce commander says “mdernisation of onboard radar station”. Yeah, it is more likely an upgrade of N011M of some sort. I wonder what they managed to cook with this thing to double the effective range.

Dunno if it was posted but Belarus also integrates domestic EW pods onto their Su-30SM.
And it has SPO-15? There are antenna covers on nacelles

SPO-15 in the big 25 is crazy

i mean it will work, real life aint no 16v16 with both sides running full Fox-3 loadouts. But yeah, it is quite sad to see.
