@ron_23 you might enjoy this.
Flanker fandom eternal civil war
The eternal Sukhoi War.
Irkutsk vs Knappo.
Well, KNAAZ builds Su-35S and Su-57, IAZ makes Su-30SM/SM2 and Yak-130
I thought Knaaz also made the 30MKs, No?
MKK/MK2 line yes
I am not sure that lines are still alive for them, someone still orders MK2?
I doubt it is. I’m surprised MK2s have been around with N001 for so long.
I just know Knaaz/Knappo as the “No Canards Flanker” guys and Irtutsk as “Canards Flanker” guys.
They did shut it down in 2016 but he said made, so I assumed past and present
Su-33, Su-27M and Su-37 be like

Somewhat
No
To an extent
Su-35UB was also made on KNAAZ (KNAAPO at the time)
Meanwhile I like both sides and act as double agent.
Hehe boiii.
And yet Knappo hated the Canards so much they tore them away. </3
brother, KNAAPO, double A, not P. Комсомольское-На-Амуре Авиационное Производственное Объединение

yes sir
They aren’t that useful if you have TVC already, and they were added to fix balancing issue because of the immense heft of N011 radar family.
Anyway I should probably go to bed soon.
I hope that whenever I awaken there’s a new teaser. With MiG-35.
