what? When did I say that? I just said it is not that hard to defeat. Don’t project, bro.

Constant implication, might as well be a statement.

Wot?

R-73 isn’t bad. 9M proved itself to be better.

Idk, maybe ppl not in full top loadout
But when R-27 or R-77 on these pylons - nor better

Do you guys know how good the SM2 avionics are compared to the regular SM?

The SM2 never ended up materializing and the SM3 is just the SM but with stronger engines (AL-31F-M1 instead of AL-31F) and 2 more underwing pylons, aka something that could be implemented at a moment’s notice and exactly what the in-game SM could really use right about now.

Huh that sucks, I thought it would get newer radars and shit.

Does Russia have any decent heavy fighter pre su35? Like a good su30 variant or something like that.

This is because they are built from heavy Su-33 airframe base?

No. The Su-33 has nothing to do with them at all

@_Fantom2451 While researching for Indonesian stuff, I realized that one Flanker variant is missing in your List; Su-30KI, the only single seat Su-30 built. It was offered to Indonesia, though I am not sure whether they tested it or not ?
