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

Everyone is busy with grinding J-15T while ı just casually got another 38MT and 77-1 slinger.

MK2 is export, Su-30M2 is the Domestic Russian version.

Oh you were about Russia? I thought you were about China

huh?

yeah a tech tree MK2 at 14.0 after the JH-7A would be cool

I saw yall talking about Flanker-Gs and a premium one and how it couldn’t get Kh-38s because of being premium, and I just instantly thought MKK since many asked for it to get Kh-38s.
China also doesn’t get Kh-38 yet unlike Russia, so mentioning the need of a Kh-38 slinger seemed to me like more of a China thing

Isn’t the only difference between MKK and MK2 that the MK2 has Kh-59 and came with integrated Chinese weapons?

If so, we already have that in game as the MKK. (The MKK was upgraded ~2024 to have PL-8 and PL-12, before this only MK2 came with Chinese munitions integrated.)

MK2 should be able to use the RVV-SD tho, since it has the upgraded N001VEP instead of the N001VE

According to KnAAPO

“The air-to-air weapon suite includes medium-range missiles of the R-27 type – R-27T1, R-27ET1 heat-seeking missiles, R-27R1, R-27ER1 semi-active radar-homing missiles, R-27P1 and R-27EP1 missiles; RVV-AE medium-range active radar-homing missiles; and R-73E short-range heat-seeking missiles.”

No RVV-SD for some reason.

here’s the website if you wanna look for yourself, I didn’t see anything about what radar it has though .

MK2 would be tech tree

Also the archived site has some text hidden behind a now defunct media player, so I’ll post it all here for anyone interested.

The air-to-surface guided weapon of the Su-30MK2 fighter consists of the Kh-59ME, Kh-35E and Kh-59MK missiles; the Kh-31A medium-range high-speed anti-ship active radar-homing missiles; the Kh-31P medium-range antiradar passive radar-homing missiles; Kh-29T, Kh-29TE TV-homing missiles or Kh-29L laser-homing short-range missiles; KAB-1500Kr TV-homing bomb and KAB-500Kr (KAB-500-OD) guided bombs.

The unguided air-to-surface weapons include bombs of 500-kg, 250-kg, and 100-kg caliber, cluster bombs, incendiary tanks, and S-8, S-13, and S-25-OFM rockets as well.

I meant the difference between them IRL.

also the .zip file contains this video which… Considering it was made in 2009 definitely has editing which matches the era lmao.

this is from NIIP dated 2016 which mentions the RVV-SD

The original Su-30MK can also use the KH-59 and KH-31P

Spoiler


According to Tikhomirov, the Su-30MK2 received additional Baget, allowing it to use the KH-31A anti-ship missile

Thanks!

RVV-MDs and R-27EPs would also be fun to play with lmao.

Also, the table in the website doesn’t mention the RVV-SD.

I assume the Modernization section is planned upgrades?

I’ll look a bit to see if I can find any sources or images of RVV-SD on and MK2s.
