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

You are correct, I thought MSE was an AESA, not a PESA.

Not that I know of. Though, there is an AESA radar being made for Su-35S.

Thank you.
Does L-005 perform the same task as Khibiny though? In which case my point would still stand of older Flankers including ECM in their defensive suite.

Ye i heard of that radar but i was wondering if Russians tried to use AESA radars on flanker platform earlier.

Not to my knowledge.

Well, TECHNICALLY…

There are Multipurpose AESA Interrogators on the wings of the Su-35S and Su-30SM2.

But these are likely not what you meant when referring to AESA Radars lmao.

SM2 also uses them? Hm interesting i though it was installed only on Su-35S.

Yee i was hoping for any project of X-band AESA even upscaled Zhuk-AE.

Yes, @GitGood pointed this out to me a while ago, but Su-30SM2 features Radiotransparent pant on the leading edge slats, just like the Su-35S.

Pretty much, it’s just older design with PESA arrays, insdead of AESA on Khibiny. Functionaly probably not as advanced as well, but still better than Gardenia pods that were offered for export with Su-27SK

Gaijin added HMS sensors for Su-30SM2 cockpit. A small change, but very appreciated.

Nana, according to them it underperforms or something, and must be superior to the combat UFO from Proxima Centauri
