    The Flanker is my favorite modern Eastern jet. One of the most beautiful designs aviation has ever seen, it’s like watching a swan or Blue Herron with combat capabilities.

    Su30 was actually developed due to the Indian purchase of the jet. India needed a heavy fighter, and the russian SU27 was selected, however, the IAF asked the Russians ro heavily modify it, india also bought french and Israeli avionics for their program. The jet that turned out was so much better the the original one that russia ended replacing the earlier variants. Calling the new one Su30. They have modernized su27 called su27M ss well though, if I'm not wrong.

      they already had su-30 in the 90s ,before india asked them about su-30mki , su-30mki was built to fullfill the needs of iaf , it featured N011m bars pesa radar , thrust vectoring (2D) , french hud and israeli avionics. su-30sm was based on the su30mki and had the same radar/tvc engine , then they built su30sm2 with better radar , better engines (more thrust)

    As fun as these are to watch war isn't fair if you are doing it right. Neither of these planes would go into combat on equal footing unless there was no other choice. Both would do everything to maximise their own advantages while trying to minimise any advantage the enemy had. Most planes these days fire from the safety of their own aircover and never cross the line into enemy airspace unless they are 1000% sure it is completely empty of any ground or air threats. The idea of any plane doing some deep strike mission is just completely unrealistic against any peer or near peer opponent. Basically, they will throw missiles at each other from long range, then return home hoping that the other guy didn't didn't make it out.
    Still good video, and good to gain a better understanding of modern weapons.

    Does the Su-30MKM have engines with 20% reduced thrust? Do you know why its thrust is reduced by 18-20% compared to the Su-30SM? Is it only because it is an export variant or because the Malaysians didn't want to pay more? @Gonky, one last question: considering that the Su-30SM has approximately 18% more thrust, does this make it the best dogfighter (guns only)?

    • @flanker8724
      @flanker8724 5 місяців тому +12

      The MKM has 55.000 pounds of thrust compared to 70.000 of the Su-57 and 60.000 or so of the Su-35… So no, the MKM is not the best dogfighter, but among the best for sure.

    • @TheArcticFoxxo

      The Su-30SM uses AL-41F-1s, not the Su-30MKM's AL-31FPs.
      The Su-30SM also features thrust vectoring, which the 30MKM lacks. It would completely destroy the MKM in a guns-only fight.

    a stand alone 1 on 1 fight might never happen. these competing jets will always come with their friends and entourage. AWACS, EW , ground control, satellite, ground based air defenses radars etc which complicate the fight. these supporting factors will come into play on top of pilot proficiency, his training and the type of jet he is flying and whether he is aggressor or defender and how much of his own (or his support/ control) coms/ systems are jammed or working.
