Sukhoi Su-35S Flanker-M: The Last Flanker

Also I wonder where he got this number from, if this was remotely true then maybe the maneuverability could be nice.

But we know this is not the case, since the weight of the 35 is at least 19t, so with the current FM modeling, as you said, it will be another boat. (Big thrust, but still a boat)

This may have been taken from funny sources.

Oh I see…

Depends a lot, this would be superior to most of the 14.0 we currently have but we can’t give a value since top tier will be decompressed before or at the same time it comes. Also I see as likely that it will come with the F-15EX, in which case they’ll share the same br
Decompression will probably go from 14.0 to 15.0 in which case it’ll be 15.0 I guess

If gaijin adds the Su-47 wouldn’t it have the same componets as this?

It would have 0 components, it’s a tech demonstrator like eap, no armament whatsoever.

Su-30 platform what ever you call it, All the SU-35 parts are compatable at least for the airframe

su-30 is completely different from the su-47.

Ahhh wrong flanker


Someone posted this on my Su-57 post.
R-77M on what looks to be a Su-35S

That’s definitely a Su-35S, a good way I found to tell is the tail boom that has these small foils at the end unlike others flankers

Russian air might be saved

The easiest way to identify the aircraft is by looking at the cockpit:

Is it a single-seater? Yes → Does it have black colouring around the cockpit? Yes → Grey radome with stripes? Yes = Su-35S

Oh alright, I did suspect that but I wasn’t 100% sure that it was an absolute giveaway
Good to know

What I just noticed, this loadout consists of two R-77M (intake pylons), two R-77-1 and two R-73 (one fired, probly during training)

hmmm, 10x r77m without double pylons? has the 77m ever been seen on double pylons?

Likely?

Nah

Since r-77m still uses Aku 170 there should be nothing stopping it from using the double pylons that have dual Aku 170 mounts

Since Su-30 gets magical KH38MT and double pylons which never seen in real life there is nothing to stop Gaijin to give double pylons for Su35 to use R-77M.
