@putcheeseonit

you can see very well in this picture that the radome of the Su-30 starts tapering sooner than in the Su-35

basically like this:

(red symbolizing Su-30 and blue the Su-35)

the IRBIS needs that extra space to move a round freely

[putcheeseonit]

Yeah, still don’t see it

[DarKBird]

Would be funny if they did fit Irbis, but did not changed raddome to accommodate, relying on digital scan to compensate restricted mechanical

Here is irbis on su30mk bort number 503

interesting that the radome is clored like on the chinese flankers

[kizvy]

Su-30mkk prototype that’s why (that was used as flying laboratory later on in life)

[ron_23]

so the 30MKK premium should get the IRBIS then

[kizvy]

Here is a better look at its radome, does it look like the su35 radome or more like su30sm one?

[GitGood]

Well, MK2 and MK in terms of airframe itself are identical anyway

[kizvy]

China bias

Epic embed success

[ron_23]

[kizvy]

Low k I wonder if someone would unironically try to report that

[Balta779517-live]

@ron_23

basically like this:

They literally terminate at the same angle, 40 degrees
