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

i only have that spreadsheet with the russian radars

could you sent the name of the book, or a pdf if available?

At least its real and no Fake for the next 2 to 5 years.

honestly, at this point, weight isnt even a concern anymore, just look at the Mitsubishi F-2, su-35s got a bit more wing area and way bigger control surfaces, and like you said, its got way less drag, Its oswald factor is improved, 0.8+, that alone is a pretty solid gain over the extra weight, so its definitely gonna fly well, thats not even a question anymore, it’s a fact

the only thing Im still wondering about is the Su-35s RWR, is it 360°? can anyone tell me? pleasss

LookUp

Should still be only ±30 degrees but it gets spherical maws and lwr

I didnt say bad I say inferior. I dont think it is a strech to say Russian electronics/avionics and Radar systems are behind on what the West can produce.

I have no issues with IRBIS being good, I take exception when Gaijin just nerf Western kit.

because a certain country is 20 years behind on computer chip manufacturing

eceryone is behind taiwan 8n that regard

not to the same degree at all

ok, not good but not bad too

Nice propaganda kiddo. The processor of Su-35s are like a few nm bigger than F-35 powerpc processor.

Based on what? We have had access to Russian hardware and have seen no evidence.

one moment, I will grab it

Yea I can’t wait for it tbh but the 30 should still be a little more stable pulling the funny tvc moves but I was thinking with a little less weight in the nose of the 35 it should whip around as well

Of course based on public information.

Soviet vs US radar processors comparison | Page 2 | Secret Projects Forum

Baget-53-31M

On the left its Baguette-53-31М1 used on early T-50, So su-35s use a version of it or the same… The right its suppose to be what Su-57 its using now IMA-BK … I don’t know if megapolis will change it. with the sanction.

If I’m not wrong the first use 1890VM8Ya chip in 65nm. The second its suppose to use 1888TX018 with 2 or 4(?) Powerpc 476FP, 45nm. Older version of the 53-31m might be in 0.18 μm/180nm. These are not the radar computer. Solo35.01 and Solo 35.02 are the computer for the radar on Su-35s and info about them are unknow.

At some point F-35 was flying with 90nm chips PowerPC g4. Block4 and tr3 are suppose to use the new L3harris processors. Its unknow in what nm are they build. Speculative they’re 10nm or less.

You have shown a box, we really need to see what’s inside it.
When we compare even missile guidance systems for ISKANDER M the guidance chips were very dated.
Compared to HIMARS or Storm Shadow and that has been a trait of Russian electronic systems while they are perfectly capable they lack behind the West.

I wonder if IRBIS was offered to India for the Su-30MKII if they would select it over the indigenous/Israeli design they are looking to fit

all chips used in military applications are very dated in their architechture

because they rather have more reliable chips than faster ones that might run into issues

i heard an analogy that the processors in the F-35 are compareable to the first IMac

Same reason Russia uses Gen 3 thermals on Kh-38s?

You have info about it or its just another Cope? idk about Kh-38. I like lmurs.
