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

Time for gaijin to rework the Kh-38MT model and give it better pull because that’s what non-clipped fins do 😏

To be fair i am not even sure that clipped fins ARE a thing, they could be just be folded fins with tips torn off due to bad storage on a mock-up

🤷

I never bothered looking into ts

link to the video?

The clipped fins are real, but they’re a part of a later program relating to 38Ms, it and a couple other changes are what provide the jump to ~70km in range from 40.

Time to be that guy i guess
Hmm

what was the original picture?

One deceased one in the hospital is what ive seen reported on tf and around the internet, dont know how reputable the information is.

Oof, unfortunate.

the constant need to move aircraft around inevitably leads to more incidents, we’ll get more information probably dont take this as facts yet.

may i say it is quite funny to read it like that

i mean su35 is definitely in the works, whether its 1, 2, 3 or however many patches in the future you don’t know

obviously it isn’t, it stands for switch user. J-16 just runs on Linux

I have an easy prediction.

They added the J-16 now so that they can add the Su-35 next update and gatekeep it from china tree for a few updates.

J-16 players on dev push me towards radical anti-China behavior
