is not?. Its close to a Su-30SM2 if they install the Al-41 on it at some point in the future.
Sukhoi Su-27/30/33/35/37 Flanker series & Su-34 Fullback - History, Design, Performance & Dissection
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.

That’s a prototype Su-30MKM, hence the DAMOCLES

Thanks for the informative replies, hopefully the Su-30SM comes with the best possible capability on release.
The Su-30 is my favorite looking Flanker variant, I can only hope that it builds on what we currently have and more.

Su-27M with TVC, uprated engines, digital FBW, and PESA radar
Bug Report: Su-33 and F-16A OCU are not identified on RWR and their launches do not trigger a warning.

Huh, I was wondering that is “Н/О” (Unknown) on RWR display inside 29SMT
Probably. I would guess “Н/О” would be “Не Опознаный” or “Не Определённый” (“Not Identified” or “Not Specified”).
I’d still prefer mirage-style maneuverability over longer range of r-77. I would really like defensive gameplay with frequent maneuvering
I too hope Su-30SM comes with best possible capability and something new for Russian/Soviet aviation tree. Su-27SM is cool, but I wouldn’t mind a modern Su-30SM.
Unless you have reems of actual data on IRBIS don’t expect the radar to be good. CAPTOR is a joke right now and we cant find unclassified sources to fix it.
Unlike mechanically scanning CAPTOR, IRBIS or whatever they will put in this aircraft is going to be a PESA radar. In the current top tier CAPTOR is the only thing that performs outright bad in wide scan modes so yeah, I’m fairly certain it will be a good one and an absolute upgrade over 27SM in that regard.
It’s awful you cant reliably track targets and close range switching targets becomes a thing of luck
isnt here internal report on scan speed?
as i remember - Gunjob stated smth like that, but i might be wrong
