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

These are very nice, especially the first Flanker one, looks very photorealistic.

Yea, i still have to improved on a lot of things
to be honest i tend to take more " cinematic " pictures , rather than striving for photorealism

Yeah, the motion blur really helps with that since it gives the sense of movement, also helps to cover the ugly WT vegetation when taking screens on the ground.

I’ve been experimenting a bit with chrome camos + ray tracing:

Nice ones, I’m waiting for the MiG-25 so bad, taking screens with that is gonna be absolute cinema.

Russia is still running legacy su25s despite multiple upgrade packages being made over the years. And that’s just skimming the surface, I understand the concept but you know this will only end up further complicating logistics unless by some miracle they manage to fully upgrade a fleet for the first time in decades.

Su-25 is very low-priority aircraft in terms of upgrades. Compared to operational load of Su-30SM/2 Su-25 can remain “legacy” until retirenment without much of a problem.

Su-25s were much less priority than the other programs happening at the time.

Either way it’s a means to get Su-30SM2 to a point where it uses as many systems from Su-35S as possible, since I assume eventually it’ll even get that planned shrunken Byelka derivative for Su-35S.

Not anymore, iirc every single one was gone trough SM or SM3 upgrade programs. And Su-27P were completely retired

I mean not really… Su-25s have proven to not really be needed in a war like Ukraine but that doesn’t mean they need to get rid of them entirely, especially since most of the ones they operate are SMs…

now something that SHOULD be gotten rid of is Su-24M/M2…
