New weapon. Newer R37M?
Pretty sure it’s RVV-SDM aka R-77M for export.
Or maybe it’s really R-37M with folded wing for internal weapon bay :v

It’s been a while since I heard of a delivered batch (I think it was February/March 2026).
Were there newer ones, perhaps with new engines installed?
No, this in not the CIA.

This is the newest batch I know of (from around Feb. 2026)
Doesn’t look like Izd. 177. The nozzles seem too round.
(with Izd. 177 for reference)

That is true, but it is probably because Algerian contract, i think assembly lines are prioritising that, VKS isn’t suffering critical shortages of Su-57, especially with all those Su-35 and Su-30 being delivered

Well, more relavantly, I wonder how many are operated With Izd. 177.
If (when) the Su-57 comes to WT, I would def prefer the better engines.
