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

he was very specific in his stament

he compared the radar to a well known system

similar case:

CAPTOR-E 8x faster than CAPTOR-M

Doesn’t sound very specific to me.

This case is using a paper as a source, not a YouTube video filmed for entertainment.

Try again.

ah yes becasue it is different if the Manufacture says that the radar has 2x range over the bars or if he writes it on a pice of paper

also the guy specified further and corrected the interviewer that it has “nearly double the range” instead of double the range

-“We practically doubled the range of the radar in comparison with 30SM. For ground targets, naval targets, air targets, every type of them.”
-“2 times more?”
-“Yes, nearly 2 times more”

In this context, yes.

no it dosent, if it depends on context

that guy is the offical spokesperson, he knows what he is talking about

especially since he corrected the guy who was asking him questions

-“2 times more?”
-“Yes, nearly 2 times more”

Yeah same, other option was the event MiG25

Okay? Perhaps the Irbis-E’s max range is only 300km, and he was going off of real specs instead of advertised specs.

I can extrapolate from nothing as well.

Tipical gaijin. Sm2 upgrade literally focus the new engine and radar xD not a bug. closed xDD
So we got 420k rp darker skin xDDDD

so why would the range figure of 150km for the bars be true as well then?

maybe the bars only has 80km range

coping is the only thing you can apparently

Lol there goes the will to grind it.

Irbis max range for 3m^2 target is 350-400 km head on while bars is 110-150 km head on for same target size

Because its a 20 year old radar and no one wants to buy them anymore, and their it’s specs are well known from being exported.

Also. There is no radar between the N011M and the N035 (Irbis-E). If they upgraded the N011M radar (the radar used on the Su-30SM), then they are using the Irbis-E. It is the only option.

Keep coping though

What? You do know they upgraded bars m over time already right? Just look at old brochures for bars and newer ones for bars. They upgraded it over time.
They just put an even more upgraded bars into su-30sm2

I cannot easily find these brochures, I do not speak Russian.

that and than there is also that the Su-30SM2 do´sent use the same radome as the Su-35, which has the IRBIS

1 Like

Yeah, su-35 radome pretty fat while su-30sm2 is still slightly skinnier than it

Looks the same to me

AFAIK the ring which rotates nozzles is covered in AL-41, but after thinking yee it’s almost impossible to tell the difference from distance

Yeah I was trying to tell them apart as well and came to the same conclusion.

I love how even the ID marks are identical, they just took the SM and lowered brightness
