I retract my statement then. Does any one have any analysis photos yet of the R-77M? I saw one a few minutes ago but was deleted.

deleted it and posted it in r77 thread, probably better to talk it there

Interesting though how both R-77-1 and R-77M are attacked, shouldn’t be pylon compatibility so would be likely testing?

Not entirely sure what you’re asking, are you asking if r77-1 and r77m use the same pylons? They both use Aku 170

Well with how R-77-1 is modeled it is barely stronger than AMRAAM carriers holding AMRAAM A, nvm if C5 is modelled properly and eventually D is modeled, if R-77-1 is the best non stealth jets for RU gets it will really suck. Obviously part of this is that Su30 sucks kinetically but I don’t think flankers can be quite as fast as stuff like F15E.

I’m saying it’s interesting how they would carry two different types of ARH missiles when one should be quite simply more advanced than the other, if indeed as u said both use the 170 then could it be that say grid fins actually have advantages in certain areas.

It’s a photo during testing/training, not actual combat use

I know, but still interesting cause obviously some sort of comparison is being made to R-77-1.

Dual pylon R-77M sounds crazy

Su-35S with R-77M and R-37M will be hella fun.

Simply beautiful.

Anyway, does anyone know what these Triangles are next to the intake on the 13.0 Flankers?

I’d assume RWR or Radio stuff, since the 27SM doesn’t have them.
