Some drop tank concepts for the Flanker

this is more of a CFT that is detached with explosives to my understanding

You’re correct, I meant external tanks, not drop tanks.

Shame there are no photos of the most based one with 3 R-27ER semi-recessed pylons on it

Some of the top ones remind me of the CFTs seen on MK2/MKK at expos a long time ago

At least i think its a CFT.:

It could perhaps get more if those CMDS patents become real.

Or at least could be an improvement Megalopolis brings over the standard Felon.

Still strange to see them without the white radome, reminds me of MKK.

Am i high, or second pilot seats seems to be empty? Also flying with zero missiles is quite ballsy

yes they are

they might carry missiles between the intakes
“concealed carry”

considering vacant seats and AKU-170s on the wings, i have a feeling that this is just some sort of a flight test or excercise

They also have the instructor bar

I was gonna say maybe they’re instructors flying them to an airbase to train some new pilots but that wouldn’t explain why they’re getting intercepted by F-16s.
