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

you have an hour for food break, after that get back to work

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.

I will unite both sides by saying shenyang flankers look the best in the world

Tbf they have like, one unqiue design which is J-16?
It is follow knaapo su30 design in many ways, also have J-15 which is sooort of unique. I just like the dark grey camo on them, sort of like serdyukov scheme. I also like light grey flanker camo but less so.
I study engineering and I frequently have to deal with several pages of calculations, considering how messy it can get with just the metric my mind cannot comprehend how a sane human being could possibly do that with these horrors… and actually prefer them over the metric. Like, nothing works, you have to throw coefficients everywhere and you can’t even check homogeneity because it doesn’t exist
That’s why they used metric when they put a man on the moon
I like their white camo more, grey always felt for me too bland and boring.
that is just a Su-30MK but with new avionics and composits
I think its more than that.
It is so heavily modified only outer shell looks the same.
that is why you dont fire radar missiles into dogfights
