That’s the model they ordered.
By this we would both be wrong, It wouldn’t be MK2 AMV or MKV. It’d just be MK2.
Where is MK2 AMV mentioned.
If people call the Venezuelan MK2 an MKV, and when you look up “Su-30MKV” and see Venezuelan MK2s, and when you look for information on any Su-30MKV and find things about Venezuelan MK2s…
It’s probably understood that “Su-30MKV” relates to Venezuelan Su-30MK2s.
C’mon, it’s a Flanker, just memorise every letter, bro
I lost this battle, but I went down fighting…

Bro purposely targeted only F-series aircrafts lol
Well the export version of Flanker-M is in fact called Su-35, so not that inaccurate (though the results will indeed include Su-35S).
But I get what you mean of course
Something something the Su-35 prototypes (901-903) from the 2000s are ALSO called Su-35. :)
Isn’t Sukhoi’s designation system so easy to understand.
If you drop off everything that existed as prototypes at best - it is pretty easy to understand.
You have:
Su-27S
Su-27SM
Su-27SM3
Su-27UB
Su-33
Su-30M2
Su-30SM
Su-30SM2
Su-35S
For export you have
Su-30 (fixed it)
Su-30MKI
Su-30MKA
Su-30MKM
Su-30MKK
Su-30MK2
Su-30MK2 AMV
Su-30MK2V
Su-35
btw, it only shows per profile, right? Not per vehicle? I just wanted to check how much AI i had to slaughter during my F-4J playtime
They recycled the name, and since the Flanker-M is what was actually mass produced, it’s still fair to understand Flanker-M when one says Su-35 in a broad context rather than Flanker-E (Su-27M/Su-35).
One reason why they recycled this designation is probably that there is a sort of continuation between Flanker-E and Flanker-M. Not in design, but in goal, aka a very modernized Flanker meant to be the pinnacle of the family and the successor of the Su-27S derivatives until a more modern aircraft comes. In that sense, the Flanker-E project sort of evolved into the Flanker-M
I don’t remember who purchased that one, thought it was only a demonstrator
CEO of Sukhoi also said that 5 and 7 are lucky numbers for the OKB
India bought a few units, Angola and Ethiopia also have some
Ah, ok. Then yeah, I forgot that one, my apolocheese
Bro’s got a Su-29SM2.
Bro got .5 TWR
