If it wasn’t for canards… you could easily mistake this for a modern su35
Which antenna
in the leading edge

It is still different from SPO-15. Could be that those are compartments planned for L-150, just never installed because those airframes never got delivered to the military. All Su-27Ms were given to Russian knights, and RWR isn’t something they would need

Looks like provisions for l150, but not actually installed
Yeah, similar to su-33 that had the fairings for l-150 but never actually installed until like 10 years after it entered service, looks exactly like this
Here is 88 with l150
So my initial observation was right → it has no rwr, but has provisions for l150 to be installed on it
question guys arent the Salyut AL-31F-M1 on the Su-34 and Su-27SM in game supposed to have 13.500 kgf?

They do have 13500 kgf, it just they have channel losses when installed in air craft. Its impossible for engines to have as much thrust as they do on a bench

updating my su-35 710 suggestion now with the new info
unless it is the F-18A ig
that somehow has more thrust installed then on the bench ingame

looks like it’s correct though, slightly above 16k lbf installed
and now test static thrust in a test flight
in which it will exceed that number
looks good to me
thrust might be slightly underperforming it looks like to me actually, not overperforming. too low of a margin to actually report it to buff it though

show me your actual source for the installed thrust
becasue there are sources that state that 16000lbs is uninstalled

The graph I uploaded earlier was data generated by qnep (quick navy engine program)
Part of a research thesis, ~secondary source
I’m definitely more inclined to trust your primary source data over this

Or a gripen. With 0 installed lost. While flanker have around 10% of installed lost in game.
Anyone know what the weapons under the intakes are?
I don’t wanna say any kind of AAMs despite looking like a Phoenix-esque missile, since those tend to be white. So I’m unsure.
