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

I don’t think there are photos, it never was developed to that level, but there is a paragraph about it in Su-27 book

for stuff that doesnt need stealth, lunesberg lens and 600 gallon drop tanks so they dont know what it looks like on radar

Don’t tell this to me, tell this to US airforce, maybe they will finally use that overpriced piece of equipment

They use luneberg lens and drop tanks often with F-22’s

Pure abomination, even Sukhoi engineers realized that and disposed it :)

Not often enough apparently

The reason they don’t use it as much as other fighters is fleet size (not the F-22’s fault) and operating costs (partially not its fault)

yeah, yeah, nothng is it’s fault. sure. Let’s just move on, i have zero interest in discussing weather baloon destroyer 9000

Just a correction, it’s ±60

KRET representative talks about new AESA version of Crossbow radar, meanwhile i am completely focused on the screen that shows new helmet with HMD on Su-35

as well as something that’s certainly isn’t N035.
Would love to live in a reality where those promo renders are reality

yep, this is anything but N035 lmao.

Oh how I would miss the IRBIS azimuth limits if a future Su-35 gets a fixed AESA.

If it is even AESA, fixed, or even for Su-35. Knowing that KRET offers AESA dish for N011M on their website, it might be exactly that.

Well well well, would you look at that.

Looks like an AESA if im being honest

It does look like AESA, but i’ve never seen one of this particular shape before. Especially not on Su-35, that thing was never shown with anything that isn’t Irbis


it reminds me of Zhuk-AM, but with slightly different shape

Done with my build, now I can use it as an extra shelf for my beloved Su30

Ngl brother, this loadout looks giga cursed. Was it pre-painted or you painted it yourself?
