Do not know how it is done on D30FM6, but I pressume it could be similar to the RD-33. The RPT regime is switched ON automatically after:

1. engine throttle at full AB
2. total pressure inside the engine intake higher >0,7kp/cm2
3. speed equal or above Mach1,5

RPT is limited to 5minutes during the flight, the T4 temperature (TIT-Turbine Inlet Temperature) rises 25 degree C more. Also on the Mig-29 there is a switch hidden in left landing gear bay ground presonal has to switch ON before flight. Usually no thrust values are given(in the manuals) when RPT is engaged, bcs it is not a static thrust measured on a stand.

Once again, thanks for being an encyclopedia Martinez!

Russia is a multicultural and ethnic nation, nothing new here.

I am curious to see the two seat order split for the RuAF, since I presume they will order them alongside the IAF. Might as well if there is a committed partner in the variant.

Sure if they are offered money they will.

You have any idea what kind of money would have to be offered for that? IAF’s budget isn’t endless. Further, Sukhoi is busy with PAK-FA right now, a redesign would have to wait a long ass time before appearing.

All in all, I think the conclusion is clear. A heavy redesign, it won’t be.

Su-35 has no proven supercruising ability despite what the Russians try to hype about it. they are trying to market it to get investments.

.

Please talk about subjects you know about.
What investments? Why would Russia need investments for the Su-35?

Su-35 has supercruised, it is well documented. They accidentally passed the sound barrier during testing without afterburner, and the plane continued accelerating according to the pilot.

EDIT: Oh wait, this is the Chinese pilots on Kuznetsov guy, I forgot lol.

Naah. I’ll bet my hat that the FGFA will look just like the Pak-Fa, just with the two crew stations beeing the different.
It is an riddicules notion that Sukhoi are willing to alter or re-design an almost new airframe for the IAF..

Fantasies is what it is. Commonality would yield positive results in terms of unit and parts cost, production dates, and integration.
