Anyone know if the su30sm can carry more than 2 r27et?
Sukhoi Su-27/30/33/35/37 Flanker series & Su-34 Fullback - History, Design, Performance & Dissection
even more reason to add sm2 and not sm1…
T-220 targeting pod noted
Su-35 and Mig-35 can mount this, according to the Russian/Soviet aircraft TGP thread:

Can it be mounted to Su-30SM?
what gen thermals does that thermal pod have
No only 2
The olivia leak says it’s coming so it’s probably a module for the Su-30SM
So we get a good multirole with a good radar and (hopefully) good flight performance? AND FINALLY A TARGETING POD?
Nah, this is Russian bias. Now nerf Su-30SM Flight model into the ground.
Off-Topic will finally MiG-29 be saved now?
The ingame grom-2’s have the same model at the moment
Not sure, In the case of the mig29 and other jets that suffer from the same issue, they pull too much and lose a Lot of speed in the process. I believe they should add a feature that lets you adjust the amount of Aoa the instructor can pull, 29 is an excelent 2c fighter but we can only see that with Full controls…
It cant
Only su34 and su35 can carry more than 2
No. Only Su-35 can carry 4. Su-34 should have only 2
wrong
the su34 can also carry 4 as it was based of the su35
otherwise iam open to look at your source for that
Yep
What’s the difference in terms of overall performance? (for the R-77-1)
Don’t really know much about them
no what. su-34 and su-35 it’s ansolutley 2 wery different planes
No
so your source is trust me bro?
edit: i know iam wrong on the su34 is based of the su35 part
i meant to say that it uses parts of the su35
Su-30SM my beloved.
my photos/videos from when I visited Kubinka Airfield back in 2018. It was my first time seeing a Sukhoi jet up close and then at MAKS2019.
Amazing pictures
