What’s the difference between the AL-51s and Izd. 177? Google and reddit say that the 177 is just some export variant or the AL-51 mixed with tech from the AL-41, but I dunno how much I’d trust those as “sources”.
Afaik the main thing, by the looks, of Izd 177 that it the same size as AL-31. Make sense it would be offered for export as part of modernization program for legacy Su-27/Su-30 frames.
But I also bet VKS gonna get their hands on those too for the fleet of Su-30SM/Su-30SM2 and thats left of older Su-27s

Spherical RWR.
Dont have pictures.
Both are sort of stealth designed in mind.
But izd 177/177s are more of a round nozzle
Whilst 51s have a flat nozzle like that of the F-22.
177 is meant for also older flanker models

So theoretically if an Su-35 or 30 tests them it can get them installed no?
Could be interesting if that happens, it might differentiate the Su35 from the SM2 a bit.
Well, main difference is that 177 designed for type 99 engine mounts and has the size of AL-31. This makes it fully compatible with every Flanker airframe that isn’t Su-34, Su-35S and maybe new Su-30SM2 airframes modified for AL-41F-1S.

yes thats the 177 series.
yes compatible with 30s or 35s, if im correct even 34s.
Since these are the most modern combat active in the Ru airforce, they will not prolly waste time on the 27sm family anyway as they are getting completely phased out iirc.
35 and 34 are questionable. Both AL-31F M1 and AL-41F-1S feature bigger intake diameter (and AL-41F-1S probably some other changes as well). This would most likely require airframe modifications.
31FM1 can ge put instead of basic 31F, but AL-41F-S1 not.
It doesn’t, not as a part of the design at least. Flat nozzle was tested on it, and, judging by scale models presented on air shows, OAK wants to go with it for serial production Su-57, but AL-51 can be fitted with either flat or round nozzle
Can be, but from the words of mechanics that worked on Su-27SM - they fit like an absolute bitch in unmodified engine mounts. This makes me think that Su-34 has different engine mounts, tweaked for AL-31F M1 that were originally planned for this airframe and not were a part of modernisation program
Didnt really see a different nozzle tho. We only saw the flat one.
