What a ominous namesake, the su27 airframe still has some juice left in it.

They’re probably just gonna stack modernization programs in the Su-35S, they’re already considering the Su-35SM
Su-35SM powered by an AL-51 in the future please

And an AESA too, would be so cool
Hell why not even side radars like the 57
Probably because having 1 massive radar like irbis is better than having 2 smaller cheek radars, irbis can’t see as wide as the cheek radars but is can see much further than those cheek radars

AL-51 isn’t designed for Flankers, AL-41F-1S will likely be the last powerplant Russian Flankers ever get.
Besides MAYBE, and this is a huge maybe, an upgraded 41F-1S or some shit.
i feel like they can upgrade with idz 177 ? but its a new engine and ig nothing is known about it atm

There is a aesa su35 upgrade in works using a n036 derivative, so I wouldn’t be surprised if they put a 177, or a non gimped 177 engine of al31 diameter in it
