It is only true of the Testpilot’s Sukhois, perhaps the Su-37 and certainly the MiG-29OVT. Most Su-30 and -27 displays are made by prototypes that are fitted with operational avionics, frequently pictures and video footage exist of the exact same airframe dropping bombs and launching missiles on trials. For example, the Su-30 that did the MAKS display in 2007 was the MKM prototype, clearly discernable as such thanks to all the bumps of the new EW system that used to be absent in its former MKI times. Certainly not a special display aircraft.

If the DA & IPA Typhoons are acceptable for comparison, so are 95% of the Su-30 displays out there. Apples and apples.

Spot on! If the EF prototype displays count same should apply to other A/C. I believe the Upgraded Su-27, Su-35 did the cobra with a significant load… And MiG-29K prototype displays too I believe…

This MiG-29 story has been poping up every now and then…

Yet to see anything solid…..

WALL·E 😮

Hey.

I’m Mark and I haven’t been on here for a while.

I’m an Air Training Corps instructor and now also a Territorial Army Radio Operator (in training lol).

So I’d like to introduce myself and re-introduce myself if you get what I mean 🙂 🙂 🙂

Puddle Jumper instead??? These babies can take out Motherships 🙂

Well jumpers are pure ancient tech. So doesn’t count. And its mothership killing ability is thanx to the drones and against crappy goa’uld shields, and shieldless Wraith ships.

In contrast the original X-302 (unlike the X-301) had alien tech integrated but mainly good ole earth tech. Propulsion, sensors, weapons…
