he is not a random spokesman
it is the Chief Designer of the Sukhoi OKB
which are wrong the offical range number is 150km
here are some OLDER brochures for bars btw, and as you can see, it’s clearly been upgraded several times. this one is from 2005, and has less simultaneous attacked/tracked targets and range compared to the image ron sent.
So its CLEAR Bars radar can and will be upgraded over time
I didn’t call him a random spokesperson, I said spoken statements, I’m not denying that he is one of the engineers but if you have written documentation of it being less than doubled from a declassified document or brochure I wouldn’t mind seeing it. I find the source you posted with the bars specs a good source I just wish it included what used said systems as that would clear up a lot. I’ll look through some similar sources soon but there isn’t really much out there as it’s all still classified.
Ps. I only want the better radar and engines as to not have another f-15GE or typhoon(Aesa) situation where it’s basically just copy paste with nothing really new, or have it be another soyuz instance with made up improvements
AL-41 report got accepted
but all the evidence points towards the Su-30SM2 not having the IRBIS but a further upgraded BARS
Funny enough the irbis is technically an upgraded n011m, it was developed from the bars so in a way it could be considered an upgrade as it’s dimensions haven’t changed much other than the azimuth the array can be directed and it is also lighter too but not by much
its like saying the F-2 is just an upgraded F-16
almost 200kg of weight difference is quite substential
also an increase of 30° in the electronical scanned portion of the radar is also quite a difference,
while having double hte average power output and almost 5 times the peak output
Don’t worry, it will get the Irbis. Some dedicated user will find proper sources. Or Gaijin will just decide to do it anyway :)

Still a cutie
I hope that these camos can come.
Are we getting any Ejection Seat animations this patch? Aswell as naval radar retrofitting to older ship models. We have so many to go for them to be all fully implemented
WIESEL MELLS MENTIONED GAIJIB WHEN
In all seriousness seems like a good update so far, excluding furthered top tier air compression of course. Also, Japan getting new copy-paste “subtree”
Can we get this pushed to devs please
Its a quick fix
