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

this makes me wonder if 30sm2 can use it as well cause same radar. maybe even mig35 though unlikely

Different sources list it as a capable carrier, along with the Su-35S and Su-57.

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.

The ragebait was obvious the second he said “Bell maneuver won’t save the 57 from a meteor” bruh.

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
