Just read About that number the other day. Its from Su-35 901 and 902. Both plane didn’t have all the Equipament. Late 903 was the first fully equipped Su-35s. My guess not Radar. No wing radar. No Khininy and no RAM paint.
This was from a Key aero article.
That’s not su-35s, you could tell because it’s a 2 seater
I didn’t see the reflection back there

Does the Su-35S even have a twin seater variant?

Twin seaters are important for long range operations, they should’ve designed one as a successor to the Su-30SM
I got confused because of the HUD, I’m looking for the right video
Now this is the correct video, I made a mistake, because the green buttons on the HUD made me think it was the Su-35, so that must be the Su-30SM2 if I’m not mistaken.
Thats a Su-30SM2
Similar Hud
well that where the later productions variants Su-30SM2 variants come in they are equipped with the same radar, electronics and engines as the SU-35S
True, though they have the older airframe no? So it would’ve been coherent to redesign the airframe to be on par with the 35S on newly produced ones
they probably saw the differences in performance overall would probably be minimal between a Su-30 airframe with Su-35 equipment and electronics vs a Su-35 twin seat variant to make the cost and effort be worth it.

Hopefully we can get some sort of AI voice for the co pilot that would provide call outs like there supposed to. Co-pilot power.
More voice lines would be great in general tbh, for multicrew aerial vehicles and ground (at least we got revenge kill voice lines, so thats a start)

on uac website it states 1400 kph near ground for su-35
here’s another brochure that agrees with that, and puts the height at 200m altitude
this corresponds to ~2390 kph at altitude
proof of 6 r37m

Just in case, the bottom image isn’t any kind of proof, so the first 3 were enough.
But anyway cool to know.
Btw how many can the MiG-31 take?
4 under the belly, for the newer variants IIRC, and then there’s the MiG-31M which can have up to 6, but I’m pretty sure that it’s not an “in service” variant of the Foxhound.
The MiG-31 loadout is still pretty nice if you ask me, at the end of the day it’s 8 ARH total, 4 of which can be 77-1.
This thread also has images of that loadout:
