so when are we gonna have the Fab-1500 umpk and some new bomb like the glide Fab-500T
su35m dosent exist
either you mean the su27m
or the su35s
but the su27m is limited to base r77, right ?
yes,if it even had it
The S then I can’t keep up with Russian naming standards.
but is it worth it while we have the su27sm ? i dont know much of it
better radar 2 extra pylons and a bit more thrust iirc

It’s basically a su-27 with 2 more hard points, canards and a yak141 radar with more range

my beloved su33 but on steroid
Nah only 1 testbed su-27m bort 710 had more thrust as it was the testbed for the su-35s engines and then pak fa/su-57 engines. Others used al31f with 12500 kgf of thrust
Su-35/su-27m first prototype (701)
“S” stands for the serial production model
“M” stands for a modernised model

Look at how well maintained that Su35 paint scheme is, I’m sure the devs are looking forward to model it just like that.

That’s what you would think, but… Sometimes USSR just throws this out of the window.
like what ? gotta give exemple
MiG-21PFS for example. S in this one means “boundary layer blowout”. Another one is MiG-21S, S here stands for “Sapphire” - new radar that was installed on this version
Oh and MiG-21M is not modernized, it’s actually export
ussr aviation and russian aviation is 2 different concept from the same land
Russian aviation mostly kept the naming logic from USSR, with some new additions, like adding a number for a different version or modernisation stage.
Curious thing but this one says 10 air to air missiles. I take it this airframe didn’t recieve reinforced wings with additional pylons?
