As asked earlier in this thread, has the Sukhoi Su-24 ever been re-engined with the Al-31 turbofan? I was googling to see if it had, and it brought me back to this thread, which I’d forgotten.

PAK FA is the second phase of

B.T.W. Does anyone know in what configuration the Su-34 set world record for a combat mission nonstop flight in Russia?
How many DT did it use etc etc??

Likely 3 DT, fuel weight 12100 kg + 3 DT * 2400 kg = 19,300 kg, takeoff weight of 41,800 kg, flight range of 4,500 km

What on Earth makes you think that?

I cross-checked-off weight and suspension settings.

Flight range F-15E (DT – hanging tank, CFT – conformal tanks):

Without DT (5952 kg) – 1500 km
1 DT (5952 kg + 1800 kg = 7752 kg) – 1950 km
2 DT (5952 kg + 3600 kg = 9552 kg) – 2400 km
3 DT (5952 kg + 5400 kg = 11,352 kg) – 2800 km

CFT (5952 kg + 4265 kg = 10,217 kg) – 2600 km
CFT + 2 DT (5952 kg + 4265 kg + 3600 kg = 13,817 kg) – 3500 km
CFT + 3 DT (5952 kg + 4265 kg + 5396 kg = 15,613 kg) – 3900 km

That is 19 CBU 87s at 430kg each and 4 Aim-9 missiles at 85.3 kg each which gives a total of 8511.2 kg.
This was also not a F-15E, but a F-15B demonstrator 😉

1:1 😀

That is 6157 kg of stores (weapons only, not pod weight).

1x AN/AAQ-13 Navigation Pod, 204.6 kg
1x AN/AAQ-14 Targeting Pod, 240.7 kg
4x AIM-9L / M Sidewinder, 86 kg
5x GBU-10 Paveway II, 956 kg
2x 610gal Fuel Tank, ~ 2000 kg

Total: 204.6+240.7+86*4+956*5+2000*2=204.6+240.7+344+4780+4000=9569.3 кг
Weapons: 86*4+956*5 = 344 + 4780 = 5124 kg / 11 296,5 lbs

Ну, как показано на f-15e.info, общей нагрузки 4x 1000 PGM, 8x 250 кг LGB, 6x (как вариант, с 12x) 250 кг JDAM…
Что бы скользом серии носить в реальной жизни ops?

Actual weight of bombs hanging under the F-15 does not exceed 5000 – 6000 kg. The rest – fuel tanks and CT, because the flight range of 1,500 km.
Russian pilots miscall MiG-29, a 1,500 km range, “the fighter air superiority over his airfield” 😀
Su-27 experiment, weapon weight 8000 kg. Let me remind you, the Su-27 – Interceptor 😉
(32 FAB-250 and two F-73, which together are 32 x 250 kg = 8000 kg, 2 x 110 kg (P-73) = 220 kg, 5 x 148 kg (MBD3-U6-68) = 740 kg, 2 x 50 kg = 100 kg (APA-62). Total: 9060 kg.)
