Search function turned up nothing, so I figured I’d clutter up the main page with another topic.
I’ve been doing a little looking into the T-10M series. Specifically, T-10M-12, or bort 712–the fabled second Su-37. I know it’s now in the hands of the Russian Knights as a “Su-35-1” painted up as their #5.
And supposedly it was once fitted with the TVC AL-31s as well as the Su-37’s avionics package (N011 radar, side stick, three MFDs, etc). Is this true?
But what I *really* want is THE picture of it in its “712” configuration and paint scheme? I seem to remember hearing that only one picture exists.
Anyone know the story of this bird?
