would that really work tho?
for the battery ? sure
but for the the rocket and warhead, idk tbh.
I found the basis of all the Su-27 camos in game.

Why doesnt Su30~ utilize the ‘double pylon’ under the fuselage on one of the wing pylons like how it is done on J-15T ? seems like one of the wing pylons has the space… was it like never considered and i need to patent this, or is there a more ‘technical’ limitation ?
Most likely never considered.
The Su-30MKI derivatives can carry up to 10 radar missiles anyway, which is more than enough for most missions.
God that br range is such a shithole with 1 trillion premiums, insane compression and abysmal balancing.

cool vid of su35 and Su27sm ( maybe sm3 ? ). the strange thing here is that the Su35 is being used as sead / intercept while the su27sm is used as a intercepter or back up to cover su35.

probably bc the Su-35 sensor suit is better
so it can tell the 27SM where to look for an air target (maybe even DL it) while having better avionics for A2G as well

With Su-35 doing AWACS duty in Ukraine, i think it is more than capable of providing DL info to Su-27. And, it seems that it is not even Su-27SM, you can see SPO-15 compartments on the nacelles and antennas on the tail, as well as IRST pod being placed in the middle. This is one of the very few remaining Su-27Ps most likely.
With that in mind, no wonder that Su-35 is armed for SEAD, 27P can’t carry anything in terms of A2G (tho even if it was SM3 or SM, Su-35 just way better in that role.

Su27p in the big 26…
Gotta love russia giving life to old planes

I don’t think that it’s “giving life” probably just an airframe that is too old to be modernised into SM but not entirely dead to just send it to scrapyard. Probably will be retired once something new will be available from the UAC

To begin with: ОЭПС includes ОЛС.
Su-30MKI, Su-30MKM - Unknown ОЭПС mb ОЭПС-30 (31EК?) → ОЛС-30/ОЛС-30И(???) (36Ш-01)
Su-27, Su-27SK - ОЭПС-27 (31E) → ОЛС-27(36Ш)
Su-33, Su-27M(Su-35), Su-30K - ОЭПС-27К (31E or 31EK?) → ОЛС-27К(41Ш)
Su-27SM - ОЭПС-27МК (31Е-МК) → ОЛС-27МК (52Ш)
Su-30MKK, Su-30MK2 - ОЭПС-30И (31Е-МК) → ОЛС-27МК/ОЛС-30И(???) (52Ш)
Su-30SM, Su-30SM2 - ???
Su-35S - ОЭПС-35 → ОЛС-35

I’m not entirely sure what kind of OLS is installed on the Su-30MKK (sources say different things).
I can’t find the OEPS name for the Su-30MKI, only the OLS name (and even then it’s called OLS-30 and OLS-30I).
