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

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

so the 30MKK premium should get the IRBIS then

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

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

for some reason it dosent work in a spoiler

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

do they mention engines at any point in this ?

They literally terminate at the same angle, 40 degrees


They say they are testing an airframe with new engines (117S), and it is planned to come in serial production in the future

Looks like su30sm can technically carry irbis anyways as su30mk 503 was seen with it for game purposes.
Ofc irl it wouldn’t but for in game based on technical feasibility gaijin will probably somehow BS their way into giving it it

do you have a timestamp for when?

you can literally see in your own picture that the shape is different and that the radome of the Su-30 only goes to 40° at the very end where as the Su-35 one holds the 40° angle for longer

also

this isnt lined up properly

its actually more than 40°

We’d be looking at a folder vehicle if no meaningful changes came to it.

Well, better hope for that then, engines got denied.

Everything else isn’t meaningful.

thanks

problem with upgraded engines is it takes away from the impact of the Su-35 when that is added.
When Su-35 comes probably next year it will have MAWs, new Radar and upgraded power plants along with maybe new missiles.
