How can you possibly infer the amount of flares the Flanker has from that picture? If you didn't notice, there are several aircraft, and they all are releasing flares in unison.

SU-30MKI

6 aircraft x 15 flares = 90 flares/aircraft

 

However,

 

I was able to count something around 110 flares from that image... point being... sure, you can't really tell how many flares there should be... BUT... you sure damn can say it's more than 15 !!!

 

There's something to think about I guess...

4:21 into this video you can plainly see that the Su27 releases way more flares than we can in LO, while flying the Su. However I don’t know if the Russian knights Su27 was modified to carry more flares for display purposes, so I don’t really know if whats represented in LO is realistic or not.

The early versions of the Su-27 didn't have a flare launcher module on the parachute housing, but in lomac we have the later production models of the su-27, so we should have more.

LockOn's Su-27/33 has 96 dispensers. 64 of those are chaff and 32 are flares. Because flares are paired, you can launch those 16 times. I think they mount more flares instead of chaff in air shows.

 

yup. it's all flares for the show. no point in spraying aluminum over crowds :D

Never forget that World War III was not Cold for most of us.
