That would make sense.
on a related to this topic note, i decided to play a random Su-27SM game
maybe this thing does need a 14.0 br after all

Bump it to 14.0 and make it a full SM3 config with R-77-1s and add a normal Su-27SM at 13.7 (AL-31F and normal R-77 only) and remove dual racks from it. similar to what they did with the 9-12 addition to the USSR
can also bump the MKK/MK2s at the same time to 13.7

i was thinking about making a bigger post about overhauling USSR Flanker tree with similar idea. Making Su-27SM in 2004 configuration without double racks at 13.7, bumping Su-30s to the same br, Making Su-27SM3 at 14.0 (barely any work to be done, it’s like 90% copy and paste of 27SM in terms of model and assests). Or placing Su-27M there

Oh myyy.
The only things that are close to me are the F-15/16.
Yep, Museum in Yekaterinburg suburban area got their hands on one of the Su-27M airframes
I am on vacation so I seriously thinking about visiting it on a weekend
Noice honestly it would’ve been a fresh sight after seein so many eagles and vipers tbh.
There is a big airforce museum in Monino, Moscow with some very cool stuff.
I’m planning to visit Russia at one day,maybe I’ll visit that museum once I get a chance.

Is that the open air one with the Russian Concorde and prototype Flanker?
I think I saw it a bit from Google Earth street view.
It does have a giant open exhibition with bunch of rare stuff, but also has a lot more other things. It’s the central museum of VVS after all
Looks like a pretty interesting museum to visit.
Having visited a few around the world (Berlin, Krakow and Washington), going to a russian one could be a way to close the circle.
Gotta renew the passport someday I guess.
There is also Kubinka in close proximity, if you are interested in armored vehicles. Plenty of rare stuff there as well, Maus, IS-7, Ferdinand (only one in the world as well), bunch of Soviet prototypes…

Yak-38’s

Is that the airliner version of the Tu-95 in the back? Looks like a pretty rare one.
