All I hear is coping and no comparing. Maybe submit your own comparisons if you want to be taken seriously.

They didn’t modeled it yet and i don’t know if they will

i did and all you did was plug your ears and went lalalalala

seems like perspective is forgein to you as well

i have shown multiple things including a statement from the chief designer that it isnt the IRBIS in the Su-30SM2

then there is also this article:

and it says that the Su-30SM2 will have the exact same engiens as the Su-35
but then only said that it will have a better radar than the Su-30SM instead of saying that it will be the same as in the Su-35, like they have done with the engine

Was it after they closed a report or something?

This post was flagged by the community and is temporarily hidden.

I mean, I feel like Sukhoi would mention something about Irbis for Su-30SM2 in their book…

Plus we know they’re using N011M (or a variant of it) from pictures of production lines.

well, this at least can easily be reported with photo evidence.

maybe the Su-30SM2 will get a skin that dosent look like it was abandoned for 15 years

would totally be worth the research

it will get one. It will look like it was abandoned for 20 years instead

Toxicity, nice

I’m not trying to prove whether it has the Irbis or not. Simply trying to prove that it has the physical volume capable of holding one.

F-15I was already coming with the same engine and American F-15Es had been using them for 10 years since before the first F-15I was delivered, made no sense to keep one vastly better than the other

if the paint is peeling of that just means that it will be lighter resulting in a better flight model

thats why the P-42 didnt have any paint

Man that thing had some mean engines inside. With mean service life as well lmao

the cost you have to pay for a TWR of almost 2


Poor poor P-42 :(

The black camos for the Flankers is awful…

Still less thrust than AL-41F1 actually. I guess biggest save was removing pretty much all avionics

i mean its still a ~50 year old engine

i would hope that it has less thrust than one that is 10-15 years old
