It is a 120D. The C8 was later renamed to D, from what I know.

120C-8 lacks two way data link and maybe GNSS

There is nothing wrong with using such tactics, in fact its probably best one to hunt Flanker due to range differences between fox3’s.

I think he’s worried the story will get sensationalized and changed but I don’t think it’ll be that bad.

Every side do that all the time but yea I also think it will not be as bad as he think it would be.

Holy since the summer sales have begun its just an all you can eat buffet at the premium spam br ranges. Think I managed some stupid shit like 4kpb/9kd in the Su-27SM its actually just disgustingly low quality of gameplay.

Its fighterbomber, i wouldnt jump to believe their story right away. Its mostly a reliable source but i would wait a bit more here considering the involvement of the opposite airforce. Also important to point out su35s arent always carrying the r37m.

I think Russia has already confirm the story is true now we just need ps zsu to give more details on shoot down but if it’s my guess I think it’s the patriot that took it down in the end, but if it was 120 datalinked by awacs I’d believe as well

Fighterbomber is the one that confirmed that the shootdown happened and gave the story, the thing is that is the only source currently.

Fighterbomber is generally truthful, but this story wasn’t the result of an internal investigation it was the pilot’s testimony which is why i said we should wait a bit before jumping to conclusion.

I agree

Dark nose cone, huh.

Also the wing root antennas seem to be… missing?

i think they are just painted gray now, they did the same with the other parts that are normally white


now its like the MiG-29KR with all gray/black

Big close-up of engines, yet impossible (for me at least) to tell if they are AL-31’s or 41’s.

Doesn’t gaijin just model this rn as the radar looking in the same direction that the pilots head is?
Because wouldnt it just be the same as manually moving the radar to look to the right to then use the HMD looking directly to the right and then behind

Yo wait im dumb nvm I thought that was for HMD because I’ve seen the same said for it

Can someone tell with thrust to weight ratio for SU-30SM2 and SU-35?

Unless they are painted same grey as the wing - yeah. Su-30s are just allergic to standardisation I guess

Im not even sure there is an obvious external difference i would love to know if there was
