Manpads against a 5th gen, really? This isn’t a Su-25.

It can’t carry R-77-1 internally

Since when ?
Yes there is no confirmation but there no reason that it cant carry 77-1. Yes its true for 37m bcz of the fins.

Source for this?

George N said it

iirc the gridfins won’t fit in the internal bay.

Can you share the post, i would like to read his reason.

Dont they have option to close and open when launched ?

74M2 and 74M use dual band

I don’t believe so.

I asked him on Discord, all he said was “no”. I guess the fins are too big.

Nope

Its meant to damage the sensor so HOJ wouldn’t really be effective if this happened. I don’t really see why they would implement 2 of these heavy, bulky and power consuming systems if they would not be effective against realistic threats.

they are gonna need to make export R-77M soon if it really cant carry it internally

There is one, RVV-SDM.

How many r77m can su57 carry internally? 6 or 4?

at least 4, it is unknown if Russia adopted triple mounts for Su-57
