So, let me get this straigth - we are taking a live missile, not mockup, not training dummy painted like a live missle, but an actual piece of combat hardware, place it on a rail and waste a pylon that could be used for another pair of R-73s or something just to scare a random guy with a binocular? I don’t think Su-34 goes close enough so you can see something with a naked eye
well, propaganda and media will spread it like you do, “nah it can use, take a look it’s mounted!!!”
and why would you even bring R-73 if they wouldnt help you at all in that case?
Aswell as IRL it’s not about taking max loadout you can
i can just take a photo on the ground and spread it out, why would i send an aircraft on a combat mission with them?
It’s not about taking max loadout but we will take 2x350 kilos for media effect.

seems that the russian are giving DIRCM for every plane they got,
now we wait until they put one in the su35 and su30

It shows pretty good results on helicopters so why not?
Bomber is huge going to need lots of antennas to cover it
i think they are changing their strat where they going to start using bomb from close frontline with cheaper weapons instead of big kh101
Maybe, current reports show a massive mobilisation of VVS aviation. Looks like another night of cruise missile attacks.
based using the non fictional missile
i find that upgrade to be a dumb one already, su30sm is already the best aircraft they operate, part of that is the price, adding on a more expensive engine doesnt do anything good for it, yeah its faster and could support bigger payloads, but it just further blurs the line between su35 and su30 and imo is just a pointless expense.
xD, gotta admit I prefer the look of the ML, the bigger fins look cooler imo.
afaik it was also factored in to streamline production of the aircrafts, would be better in the long run for production and costs if they both would use the same engine i guess. but yeah it will require a initial expense to get everything set up and integrated in to the Su-30

its russia we’re talking about here the day they manage to streamline logistics in any way hell will freeze over.

How did you make that motion Blur effect of the background
That’s the point? Using the same engine between Su-35S and Su-30SM2 is entirely the reason SM2 is getting AL-41F-1S… Ignoring the issue that Su-30SM is somewhat underpowered by AL-31FPs.
As you said “streamlining logistics” is the entire point of this… Later on expect Su-34s to get AL-41F-1Ss, when who knows but that’d be the reasonable next step.
Plus the planned AL-41F-1S aren’t the only thing that comes with Su-30SM2 anyways.
Lightroom, it’s like a slider, you can chose the blur amount.
For example here I used way less and the background shows a little more:
