Jesus… put it under a spoiler, will ya?!

on of the UB airframes it seems. At first i thought that it is a mock-up fr testing, but it has way too much sensors intact, including SPO-15 antennas on the intakes to be just a mock-up

here have it under a spoiler

idk why you need it like that tho

I’ve only seen this table. An only on this very forum, ironically enough

I just noticed Sukhoi says Su-27UBK can use RVV-AE

Found an interesting video from ЦКБА about their passive radio reconnaisance systems


This seems to be how the full set of antennas on Su-35S looks like for the L-150

This kinda lines up with where those Multifunctional AESA Interrogators would sit, no?

Maybe that’s one of their functions.

I think so as well, but the compartment itself might just house both RWR and Interrogators inside

i could see them being used for it
bc it would still just proccess radar returns, but not ones that it sent out itself

I found another Su-35UB Pic.

I thought this was just a Su-30 for the longest time. But no, It’s a Su-35UB.

Is that grey radome going to be the new standard? Also is that a portrait of Archangel Michael? Also look like no pitot tube.

These are all older photos taken from online. But from what I’ve seen most Su-35S use a light grey for their radome.

Yes.

Also yes, The Su-35S does not have a Pitot Tube in the nose.

AFAIK su-35ub and su-30mkk are basically the same, ub was built from a su-30mkk and was converted back to a su-30mkk when the su-35 failed

Does anyone know what radar this uses?

I assumed N001 but if it uses RVV-AE then it might use a different variant.

Fomin says that, but I’m not sure how true this is, couldn’t find any other proof than that.
Also found an old video from KnAAPO

I mean, J-11A has N001 with RVV-AE integration so it isn’t too unreal to assume that UBK would also have it
