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

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

That thing looks like it’s been in the sun for 10 or 20 years or submerged in chlorine, what an ugly, horrible thing, and they don’t even care.
They looked at it and said: Clearly the same.

I’m guessing the standard SM2 camo will be the dark navy one, so washed out basically.

Will be nice to have a black Su-30 in the player statcard.

tf, lmao
somehow updating weapon list and “radio equipment” gives you new engines… sometimes CBRs just straight up ignore report itself or what

they apparently tested them

and thats enough for gaijin look at the british and italian aesa EFs

the ECRS MK.2 wasnt even tested on a eurofighter yet

report has exactly 0 proof of that.

apparently said in this article:

i dont speak/ read russian so i just took @strzelec213 word for it

it doesnt say about su-30sm2. can be any random su-30 in the world

It’s mentioned that a testbed is validating use of al41f1s which is probably enough for gaijin

ngl it’s funny how gaijin just wants to add fake stuff
