Thanks for the manual. According to the chart thrust seems to be slightly overperforming at lower speeds but difference is only 100kgf per engine, too little to cause any relevant discrepancy (chart indicates 112000 KN, 112000/9.81 = 11400kgf

That’s unless the engine chart above doesn’t account all the thrust losses in the aircraft (there was a similar chart on the MiG-29 manual that indicated thrust for the singular engine that did not account for the thrust loss of the engine in the aircraft, which was accounted in another chart)
This is what I am talking about:


Also, if someone has the original manual for the Su27 that has drag and AoA polars like this:


It would solve any issue with the flanker
