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

The stealth part is up for debate as there was some patent or something in regard to the Su-57 stealth putting its RCS at a similar size to the typhoons that appeared online a while ago from what I recall. And if gaijin ever decide actual model the typhoons new radar properly they probably won’t that stealth ain’t gunna mean much considering it was able to detect F-35 out around 60km considering the F-35 is a much stealthier aircraft

“average” stealth is =/= to front aspect stealth. Compare avaerage stealth to other planes, not best case scenarios.

(a bit off top, just bragging a bit… and God, I love thrust vectoring and Sukhois bs)
God, do I love some Belkan witchcraft

I know not the best shot and I did die... but Ill take the credit for 180 gunkill anyway

It wouldn’t be an easy win; the opponent would pay a heavy price.
Not much is known about the Su-57. I assume it’s an impressive aircraft, but EF is EF…

It would be a nice training dogfight — one has extreme post-stall maneuvers, and the other has extremely high-speed maneuverability, wow.

i doubt either are pulling 7 or higher gs or something above mach 1

EF close to 10.

if you’re pulling 10gs in either an EF or a Sukhoi IRL past mach 1 your bigger issue is hoping your plane stays in one piece followed by hoping your pilot wakes up from g-loc

me when i forget that laws of physics exist. Also will be quite a hell if you get back on base. Mechanics will surely love the condition of the airframe after your fancy maneuvers.

Wonder what gaijin is Gona do after the su57

There is nothing really competing with f22 and f35 and thats no even including next gen Fighters
Ngad and so on

RU tree after Su-57:
dead-skeleton

Maybe gaijin will pick up the mig line again

Most likely they just pull the old

Any claims the su57 is less stealthy than the f22 and f35 are just marketing gimmicks
Or they pull “balance” out again for a change

Why wouldn’t it be able to 9 g at supersonic speed?

Unless i am Missing something the mig line is pretty much dead
Mig31 is mig31
And the mig 29 suffers from the smt syndrome

MiG-31? hell yeah

MiG-29? Never heard of the bloke.

MiG-35 and MiG-29K. They use very different airframe from 29SMT so there is cope. IRL this airframe adressed shortcomings of the original and features redeisgned LERX, leading edge slats that cover entirety of the wing edge, increased surface area of ailerons, bigger horisontal stabilizers with vortex generators and full fly-by-wire

Su-47 as a naval fighter

Gaijin: MiG-29K 9.31 and MiG-29KR 9.41R? Never met the guy
