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

Huh, odd.

thats because (from my understanding) there are two camps in sukhoi that have slightly different opinions
one wants canards, the other one dosent, for example

i think @BBCRF might know more than me about that than me

IIRC
Three factories.
Knaapo Su-35S and Su-30 without canards
Irkut Su-30 with canards
Novosib Su-34.

need to assign a KGB officer with a Mauser to every engineer in Irkut and Novosibirsk to force them make Su-35S and not invent their own incompatible flankers.

Why a Mauser and not Makarov or MP443

100%, based knaapo for not making canard flankers

Made a Bug Report on the Su-30, it is currently missing a few MFD pages

I know, but I would’ve figured they woulda just made the proportions larger and keep the shape from the original Flanker.

but, that does make sense-
