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

Su30sm2 is worse than the Su35s due to it not having a MAW and lwr

Su35 or mig27 will be worse than the current Su30sm due to it having worse loadout options and general avionics

And we’ll the su57 is a 5th Gen so we won’t see it for a while

So withhat in mind the Su35s is pretty much the only option to achieve parity with EF and rafale

The US could get the F15e and China a J15 or something
Sweden will get the Gripen e

And all the other nations are able to get some copy paste plane
Like rafale or gripen e

Ngl 90s su-35 having a ±90 degree radar (meaning you can notch while shooting) might be unironically better than su 30sm radar

What rwr do they have
Because I suspect the spo15

Pretty sure none lol depending on variant. Lemme go check what serial su-35 had (they built 3 of em)

So how are you going to notch a missile if you don’t know it was fired at you?

Yak 141 ain’t have a radar or rwr either they can prolly just add l150

There was a yak with a radar fitted

Okay I double checked su27m has spo15

Well then yeah

No thank you I don’t think I have the nerves to fly with a spo15 at 14.0+ brs

Su-37 cockpit. Can’t see SPO-15 anywhere so it could have L-150

No it has spo15 lol, from 701-711 at least. Remember spo15 was digitalized

su27m mfd, spo 15 was shown on mfd

Any photos of that airframe outside? You can’t digitalise antennas on nacelles, those are distinct feature of SPO-15

no i mean it was shown on a digitalized display, sorry i shouldve clarified. so it would get a digital rwr screen but it still used spo 15

it doesnt have those spo 15 things on its engine intakes, but book describes it as having spo 15

I understand what you meant, it was just a wordplay. Airframe with SPO-15 should have antennas on nacelles

That’s why it is quite interesting. I also couldn’t find a single photo of 27M with SPO-15 antennas.

okay im dumb, it doesnt say su27m it self has it, just it and its later deritatives. i think su27m has l150 then, becuase its rwr page is digital
