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

Yeah, but within like SM SM2 and all that there are differences, and sometimes major, like Su30SM2 with or without new engines and so on.

Pakistan had DL provided by Chines EAWACs aircraft seen near the border. And live updates of the battlespace

India did not have this.

yes enough pylons since it gaijin gave it double pylons

and even the base 27sm used the r77-1 in service,
so did the mig29smt

we have the missile count of the sm3, the radar of the sm3 and the engines of the sm3

enough overall missile count, and only for Fox-3, not pylons. You know as well as me that additional wing pylons are universal and can carry a plethora of armaments.

That’s another issue, but yeah Russian designations can be a nighmare sometimes

Hey, at least we don’t call everything “M1”

Or just do the Chinese thing of not giving different designations at all.

My favourite part of US names lore is a fight between navy and air force for the placement of a dash between letter and a number

What would the upgrades be?

Apart from the engines which apparently could be swapped for 177’s if they want to.

How much paper do you reckon they could save by not writing that dash? Given the amount of paper work probably could save quite a few trees.

so from what i know, it is supposed to get a resized byelka derivative (on a swashplate, AESA) as i have said before, alongside Su-57 HMD, no idea on engines, prob not.

but will it get both of these together in the upcoming “upgraded” batch is a question, seeing that some modern stuff su57 was supposed to get later is already given in this batch

So navy is more environmentally friendly then. Or just saving paper because you can’t find it in a middle of an ocean

Coral reefs then. They did feed them a couple super hornets.

A growler as well no?
It’s only a matter of time until the corals get to eat a F-35

Corals are hungy, must support corals

A UH60 I know of, growler as well. Let’s just hope the F-35’s stealth coating aint poisonous.

They strip everything off of the planes and cars they use. Nothing but bare metal.

Max supercruise speed I could reach on the SM2, I kinda wanna see how much the Su-35 could hit since it has no canards.
