i could see the hexagons being friendlies since they dont have flight direction markers
or this circle
the squares are known to be radar targets from Su-35 hud footage
(Su-57 shares overall the same HUD symbology as the Su-35)
You have been chineesed, now time to work.
Biggest flaw on Su-35 you forgot is that it lacks CANARDSSSSSSSS.
Gosh Sukhoi was it so hard to keep improving Su-37?
Canardless flanker supremacy :)
Su35 looks amazing
What i do know is that su35s is gonna get su57 hmd and a byelka derivative (aesa) in future, its already been in the process for a while
(Please radar be a swashplate pls)
why would it need to if the byelka has side facing arrays
That doesnt mean its derivative have side arrays
Flankers dont have provisions for side arrays on its nose
what that mean
imo base su-35/su-27m from the 90s is the best looking flanker. Single seat + canards is soooo peak for aesthetics
imagine the duck without canards.
I wonder how that would look.
It looks really nice but Su-37 with canards> Su35 in terms of looks :D
That HMD should be also integrated to Su-30 family I think.
Canards rob you of top speed and barely provide anything if you already have engines with TVC.
aesthetics > flight performance in my book :)
at least for the 90s su-27m/su-35, its actually faster than the modern su-35
Idk and i doubt
Probably wrong data. Su-27M is almost as heavy as Su-35S, has more drag, less powerful engines and it’s somehow faster?
nah I think its maybe due to ram coating and that al41f1s is hotter.
most flankers actually all share the same 1400 kph limit on the deck due to structural limitations.
at high altitude, they actually become engine limited due to temperature.
al31f is much less hotter than al41f1s,
its why su35 90s variant can go 2500 kph at high altitude while su35 modern goes 2400

Iırc Su-37 used both Al-31 and Al-37 engines and 37 produced more thrust.
