Sukhoi Su-27/30/33/35/37 Flanker series & Su-34 Fullback - History, Design, Performance & Dissection (Part 3)

no, it’s actually domesticated, just loves personal space, probably was made by Canadians or something

I can also see an Su-30 of some sort near Tu-95 with a Chin (near choppers), 2 MiG-29s, MiG-25 and MiG-31, MiG-23, bunch of prototypes, Myasischev M-4 (big bomber with only tail and wings on the photo, actually a B-52 analogue, unlike Tu-95). Oh and Tu-22M, as wel as T-4

Crazy how dwarfed the Flogger is next to the MiG-31

And then there is also a Mi-26 which is bigger than some jet fighters

From this angle it looks almost as long as the Tu, quite insane.

Well, it’s around 13 meters of difference without counting the rotors, with them - only around 6 meters. Which is insane tbh
Soviet helicopter school is quite goated


Also Mil V-12 if you want Flanker to look small

Snow makes everything better lol.

Also nice Su-15, need it in wt next month ;)

Russian vibes, any movie scene in Russia will always have a cold blue filter
Also that Su-24 prototype is so blocky, like it was made by a beginer 3D modeller

Didn’t see it a first, but is that a fixed wing Su-24?

Pretty strange.

yeah, first prototype was delta wing iirc

They look quite small, almost like they slapped MiG-21 wings on it.

i dont think that the Su-15 in the image is the 15TM with the double delta tho
which is the one that was teased

yeah and they also wanted to make it a STOL

I kinda fear it will be the next even mentioned yesterday, I’d prefer to have it in the tree to be honest.

can’t blame them for wanting cool stuff, can you?

It looks so silly with those short stubby delta wings

I swear, Soviet engineers, if not tried, then wanted to make so many things STOL/VTOL
