Sukhoi Su-27/30/33/35/37 Flanker series & Su-34 Fullback - History, Design, Performance & Dissection

The centreline pylons can’t take AAM’s unlike the Su-27SM.

According to this image it can take R-27s under the belly, but idk if this are official

R-77 on wing tips very credible

That figure is very off, I wouldn’t even know where its from.

dunno it was on wikipedia lmao

This picture though doesn’t show any missile for wingtip pylons (likely occupied by pods) and no R-27

Wikipedia is just another reason to ignore it tbh (let alone the wingtip R-77). But yea, there has to be more accurate figures somewhere, this one is just the most credible I had to hand now.

You won’t find anything accurate in public, even brochures don’t represent actual armament of in service aircrafts, especially you looked at Su-32 brochure, aircraft that never existed, only proposal.

R-77 were probably just shifted when doing the thing thought. Although I agree wikipedia isn’t a reliable source for this stuff, it’s just the first thing one opens for quick info.

Is there any photo or information about Kh-38MTE in VVS service?
I can find plenty of photos and evidence that Kh-38MLE mounted on Su-34 in service.But I can not find information about Kh-38MTE in russian service.Can someone provide any information about it?

Grom-2 turn to head for the target is f**king crazy on Russian DEVstream.

Damn, 12,7 GRB is not enough for this shit :)

Btw the russian stream showed that indeed we’ll be able to use the Kh-38 seeker @ID_Heaven

Let’s forget this brawl guys, you aren’t going to change the opinion of the other and vice versa, it’ll polute the thread for nothing. We already witnessed this a lot it’s kinda annoying.

Oh cool you got another account i need to block lmao, see ya

Kinda why I said it was off topic. Ive blocked the guy on every single plateform and he keeps making new accounts to harass me, its pretty pathetic and just generally bad for discussion, Id muuch rather this thread be focused on all the new Su-34 details we have, like the fact the russians now have a 120km range cruise missile in-game…

Not exactly sure why gaijin keeps adding capabilities in a one-sided manner when other nations have equivalent capabilities.

That being said, this is mostly useless for GFRB, though its somewhat decent for sniping stationary ground targets from far in sim, and might future-proof the plane if stuff like the trailer patriot become objectives.

US equivalent (in range) would be something like the JSOW, I didnt even see the shorter ranged JDAM-ER either in the devstreams

It’s my last post on the topic since I think I’ve thoroughly dispelled the notion for anyone that cares to read. The Flanker being in a bad place at the moment is readily apparent for anyone that actually plays it.

Also the fact that the buff to it was basically to slap 2 more ARH missiles on it just goes to show that even according to Gaijin average player stats that the plane was doing poorly.

No one ever understands why he leaves his echo chamber or proclaims to block people who rag his arguments only to read every single thing we post anyway.

None of this changes the fact that we’re still hard at work trying to fix the broken FM’s.
