No one here knows squat about how many missiles the T-50 is going to carry internally. All artists and self-proclaimed experts included.
Which not means that 3000L PTB will not be suitable for Su-27/35BM

From the foto above, you can see that 2200L DT which under F-22’s wing is relatively smaller compare to F-15’s wing
Technical question: if the F-22 jettisoned its DTs, do the pylons drop as well?
Nice photo of the mighty Severodvinsk!
Still didn’t sink huh? Those Australian “experts” have some serious thinking to do… 😀
The worst flaw, is that it implies six or eight launch rails inside main W-bay.. Its FOUR.
Is it? :stupid:
They gonna bomb Russia all night!
according to the russian source , Irbis-e can detect target with RCS = 0.01 m2 from 90 km so if it can manage to go to the side or the rear , it will likely to be able to see F-35 , F-22 from far 90-100 km , but if we are talking about head on situation then it can only see F-35 from 55-50 km , and F-22 from 28 km assuming there is no jamming and narrow search pattern , even in the kind of situation F-22 , F-35 can still see the SU-35 from much farther distance , have more time to accelerate to their top speed => increase PK of their missiles
Too bad that the F-22 or F-35 will probably have to use their radar to launch anything 😉 Which will give them away and prompt the Su-35 to either run or engage ECM that would make targeting harder for the enemy.
Su-35 project (before it got “S”, but not the soviet one) was originally heavily accented on lowering RCS. That could be flexible depending on the customers wish.
There’s a number of sources that state that the Su-35S and Su-34 have reduced RCS when compared to the baseline Su-27.
Simonov was quoted somewhere as having said that the Su-34 actually had extensive RCS reduction work done.
In theory I agree that the US should have the upper hand throughout this game in using LO and VLO designs, but in today`s world it is possible to buy the knowledge, experience and technology leading to match the US without having spent half a century developing LO and VLO designs. Well, another lesson learned for the US do not you think?…
The only thing you can learn about making the finished product better is probably how to make it more durable and/or reliable. Missed that boat with the F-22 I guess eh?
You couldn’t argue that the end product was superior in technology (in any meaningful way) as the technology base is set when any project is only starting…
I guess the combat radius of Tu-22M3 with 2 kh-22 is around 2000 km, with mixed military and afterburner on the weapons deployment phase.
The problem of the Tu-22M3 is not range or speed, but obtain target information from the Tu-142 which will certainly get hit by CBG before passing any information to the Tu-22M3. And, the Kh-22 is not that impressive weapon. I have a link that talked about the disadvantage of high velocity, high projectile weapons such as the kh-22. Surface heating on the sensors of Kh-22 during high speed is one of its problem.
Good thing the NPO Raduga took the time to develop the Kh-32, which is reputed to have a range of over 800KM and a ceiling of up to 44KM based on a Yefim Gordon article that I recall.
The Upgrade or evolution road map of older missile design like R 77(RVV SD), and never mind the R27, is not really something to brag about..
The Euro, MBDA Meteor, however is impressive.By now one would have thought Russia would have designed completly new A2A missiles..?
They have. All classified for now and slated for the PAK-FA.
This was in the news numerous times.
I’d suspect the same weapons will find their way onto the Su-35S, maybe even Su-34 and Su-27SM.
It’s a J-11B.
…. unless you knew that and were being ironic….
Ken
What? That’s clearly a grey Su-27 😡
A major military power not to address the gap, but obscenity here every day, Russia’s days are numbered my opinion, there is no way to save the obscenity here every day, do others heart invisible eyes still invisible.
Been hearing this since the dawn of military forums on the internet. 😀
I would like to say that This is not a stealth aircraft, but the king of the 4th generation machine, Russia did not design stealth aircraft, you only masturbation on the forum, I did not say that T50 ill, but he is too rubbish, howare like the shot flat of the SU 27, and wearing pants, rough skin unbearable, the hungry refugees like flat, did not say I said, in addition to the Russian people, the world say
panman.. you might be on the something here. You should contact Sukhoi immediately and tell them your tale. They will be shocked to know that they have basically recreated the Su-35 instead of a next generation aircraft. Hurry, panman.. hurry!
Not prettier than the beastly yet sexy looking Tu-22M3. Come on boys! 😉
Now you are going to the extreme, but on the other side.
Asking an open-ended question is the other extreme? Great logic for sure.
They have became much more self-sufficient than they were 2 decades ago. I think this was the goal, nothing else.
In the last 20 years they have got their hands on active AAMs, slotted array radars, combat and support helicopters, sniper rifles, night vision, subs, destroyers, support vessels, space rockets, even an aircraft carrier. Now they start to mess with 4th gen engines, AESA, 5th gen airframes..
In a way they can make almost everything today. Good, more than a half of that is just licensed and copied stuff slapped together with few indigenous mods (like Z-19 or all those funny H-6s…) but who cares? It works and is readily available for use.. Ain’t that much? In my opinion it is.
It’s certainly pretty good compared to some other nations when looked at individually – I don’t need to name any, there are hundreds of them. Compared to military-tech powerhouses like the Russia or the US they have effectively no history of producing comparable weaponry.
