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

I would be fine with a BM with R-77-1 + R-33S and L-150M-01 this update

well the @Panther2995 besides the seeker gimbal the Pl-10 is straight up worse than the r-74m not even the r-74m2

why?

less range the same pull

If I remember correctly, the R-74M has an identical engine to the R-73
that is, the kinetic range remained the same

the kinetic range being the same dosent mean that the r-73 can lock onto a target at that range

This was most likely achieved through the new seeker

and as a result increasing the range the r-74m can be fired at

actually not

the max kietic range of the r-73 is around 25km

imho it’s useless with identical kinematics(in WT)

At the same time, the brochures showed a range of 30 km

Huh.

I wonder how come they managed to copy IRIS-T design and made it worse.

what i posted is part of an 80s east german document
it is entirely possible that the motor even for the r-73 changed whenever they started marketing it for export in the late 90s and 2000s

ontop of that it is impossible for the r-73 and r-74m to have the same kinematics even with the same motor since the r-74m has clipped wings and thus less drag

in what?

range and seeker gimbal

irist have 25km, irist < r73?

What gimbal of Iris?

I didn’t know about this

±90°

Do you know what of gimbal in the EF-2000 helmet?
