Imagine a bug report like this.
“So we looked inside one of the missiles and found this (pic 1), gaijin pls fix”
they do at least exist, tho gl knowing if they were actually fitted onto anything.


also they’re seekers from the late 80s. why would they use 30 year old seekerheads on a missile
Gaijin be like: Say no more comrade!
iirc 9B-1103M is the seeker of R-77-1. And 9B-1103M-350 is used on RVV-BD
9B-1103M is from 1998 brother, and 1103M-200 are from 2014
I mean technically speaking they test fired R27A with fulcrum and considering same seeker can be implemented to R27E model I don’t think its such a big issue.
Keep in mind Gaijin still considering to add R27EA.
i mean yeah but the program was cancelled before the modernized seekerhead could actually put on the r-27ea. r-27a and r-27ea would’ve used different seekerheads.


@kizvy do you know what happened to 904 after the crash? I know during the crash IRBIS-E was damaged and fusalege was basically torn apart but I wonder if they refurbished it or used remaining parts on other prototypes.
Wasn’t EA suppose the to use the same seeker that 27A used before the cancellation?
nah it would’ve used the modernized seekerhead that was made for it, but it was never fitted on it
r27a used 9b1103
r27ea wouldve used 9b1103m
i mean just looking at it i doubt anything was salvagable


One can only hope tho Russians are surprisingly capable of salvaging parts from these kind of mess.
Dunno, some of the rivets look mighty fine
Found an interesting image about 37.
Didnt know it flew with F5 during those testing times, looks so good.
Would be boring without it.
With al41f1 su27m 710 will be the best (russian) flanker fm
It would be boring with it. Bascially SM2 but worse.
Got confused but the LWS acronym, LWS was correct just as much as LWR.
At a lower br, fm would still be the best
Sm2 is going to 14.7 this will be at 14.0
You are still at the unlimited SM2 br. Unless top tier will become 15.0 and above you will face SM2 almost every single game.
Played su27sm yesterday (sm2 is at 14.3) half of the matchers were downtier, other half were uptier.
Between 14.0 and 14.7 br difference is same, so i dont exepct it to be that different.
It is not the same. You are forgettting 13.3 and 12.7 premium hordes.
