India has what is quite possibly the bottom of the barrel Su-30 in modern standards.
Sukhoi Su-27/30/33/35/37 Flanker series & Su-34 Fullback - History, Design, Performance & Dissection
True, but then there’s old reliable “The country-manufacturer” which is Russia. Realistically the only reason why Kazakh aircraft can be added to Turkey is on the basis of “Fellow turks” (which is shaky af) or if Turkey couldn’t live without Sukhoi with the gimmick of targeting pod and laser guided bombs

Damn few updates ago the 21 with those S-24 rockets and CCRP was a CAS attack menace

It’s jammed full of European/Israeli avionics, that’s a bold statement.
A few? You mean 3 years ago, right?
Su-37 got passed to the devs, how good is it?

Is it not just a Su-27 with TVC and canards
It gets pesa radar if i’m not mistaken
Wasnt it also lighter?
Was it designed for export potential or to as a tech demonstrator for the Su-35 programme
is not?. Its close to a Su-30SM2 if they install the Al-41 on it at some point in the future.
It’s a single cockpit design. based on the Su-27M with canards
I don’t think so. Only Su-35 should be lighter. It don’t have canards and use composite materials.
while it look the same. Its not. New engine. New fly by wire. Better radar. TVC …etc etc. It should fly way better than a Su-27 or Su-27m
probably the best or 2nd best flanker in terms of maneuverability. (its probably better or worse than su35)
What Turkey tree would that be?
One of the least likely trees to be added to WT.
Sorry for late reply
So I’ve quickly taken a look at the study: and from what i understood in the first they are basically doing in the first part is trying to get a better estimation of the Oswald coefficient to increase the range at which Lifting Line theory (which is the Cl = (something Cd)^2 still works, and they also like i’ve said previously that, by trying to do that, Oswald can’t be a simple number but is something that decreases with the increase if the drag coefficient:
Then the study shows a bunch of different methods for calculating oswald based on shapes, conditions etc. (otherwise it would need to be determined experimentally).
The values in the table below are probably computed for small angles of attacks using those methods they described.

(Sorry for the late reply and if someone already responded but)
That’s a prototype Su-30MKM, hence the DAMOCLES
