K-77M is just prototype designation. There really isnt much info on R-77M apart from one photo.

R-77-2 doesnt exist. Only R-77M for Su-57 reportedly entered production in 2022.

Why keep so low. With new standards we can have MiG-35 no problem. All R-77 carriers should be capable of carriing R-77-1 as well. This was confirmed by pilots on this forum.

Guys, there is waaaay more info laying on Su-35 than on F-35. It would make a loooot more sense to make than fricking F-35. But hey, then would bluefor cry about getting smacked by R-37Ms in BVR. And we cant make customers angry, cant we . This is hypocrisy..

Last I heard they wanted to replace them with F-35s. Replacing with FA-50 seems weird at best.

Hope for MiG-29A. Other possibilities could be BS3, AH-1, F-4 or nothing.

Does that mean FF MiG-29A is no go? Its way more complex aircraft than Su-25 after all.

I suppose they didnt have much info about this aircraft to make it beliavable. From what I saw on videos, the cockpit was taken from old variants. Real aircraft was based on MiG-29M, so It should have much more advanced avionics.

From what I know, backbone of RuAF is currently made of Su-35s, Su-30SMs and modernized Su-27SM variants. Hoewer It seems like some unmodernized 80s variants are still in service. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ac23QOy3Y_xlUpYQ1xjQwVEYHi2qyoo3/view

Its not "dead". There just probably isnt much to show. If I understand correctly MiG-23 is currently not priority for RAZBAM. There are some earlier projects in development like F-15E, Pucara, South Atlantic etc. + lot of work on released modules like AV-8 and M2000.

Latest estimate was something like "before 2022", but given current progress I would expect it much later.

Sadly nothing at all. We dont know even if its going to DCS or another sim.

Most likely yes. There is apparently a lots of issues due legislation concerning more modern variants of Russian jets. Maybe 9-13S variant could be doable as well, but I wouldnt take a bet on it.

Flyable heavy aircraft in DCS would be great. Especialy if it would be Tu-95. But I think its imposible, sadly.

Ehm no. There was plenty of La-7s used on Eastern front. Lots of pilots became aces while flying this aircraft. It used same engine like late La-5FN and when 7s came to service most of the problems with it were already solved. Main difference was in better aerodynamics and lighter airframe. 1946-1950 was time for further improved La-9/11.
