Every side do that all the time but yea I also think it will not be as bad as he think it would be.
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
Oh look, countermeasures that we are still missing

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
They really have to put a nametag on them for us peasants lmao, or else it’s forever mistery.
Well the Su-35 is 19t empty and the thrust should amount to a total of 29k kgf.
Though empty weight is not the relevant number, and you should look at the combat ready weight, which if I’m not mistaken should be around 25t, correct me if wrong here.
25.3, close enough lmao.

Will the Su35 have better performance over the su30sm2 but only marginally? What about low speed performance
With how the SM2 is in the game, the Su-35S will just get a MAWS (I think?) and no canards therefore less drag. That’s all I think.
Unless they decide to add it with new missiles which would in fact make sense
Su35 drag should be slightly lower due to having no canards, but likely marginal.
One thing it will be better at is top speed, whereas the SM2 stops at 2.10 basically.
Weight difference is about 200kg empty, so not drastic, I’d expect both to perform similarly, maybe a bit more stability on the sm2 with canard help.
