Kusch Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 Su-30MKM its Indian "MKI" design, (but only French avionics). http://pilot.strizhi.info/2007/05/26/3705#more-3705 Give me "flying telephone pole" (SA-2)!
Trident Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 Gorgeous aircraft, with some notable differences to its Indian cousin already visible: Different EW system with additional antennae on the front fuselage, low-intesity formation lights and what looks like a Westernized IFF system (birdslicers on the nose).
Trident Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 There also seem to be antennae on the sides of the engine inlets, where there are none on the MKIs and other modern (= equipped with the Pastel RWR) Flanker variants. Birdslicers? Just curious, which part of the nose are you referring to? This part:
Alfa_Kilo Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 It also has these fairings just under the LERX tip and ahead of the nose gear bay. Any idea what kind of self defence suite equips the -30MKM?
Trident Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 It's a South African system AFAIK, but no designation is known (at least to me).

Weta43 Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 what looks like a Westernized IFF system (birdslicers on the nose). Also to be seen on the nose of the MIG-29A in the "Slovak MIG-29A upgraded" thread posted by SVK Fox: Cheers.
RvEYoda Posted May 27, 2007 Posted May 27, 2007 Su-30 is a gorgeous plane alright :) S = SPARSE(m,n) abbreviates SPARSE([],[],[],m,n,0). This generates the ultimate sparse matrix, an m-by-n all zero matrix. - Matlab help on 'sparse'
nscode Posted May 27, 2007 Posted May 27, 2007 That second pic.... Su suddenly doesn't look that big any more :D Never forget that World War III was not Cold for most of us.
Anytime Posted May 27, 2007 Posted May 27, 2007 Pic of the Su-32 here too. http://www.avionews.com/index.php?corpo=see_news_home.php&news_id=1074443&pagina_chiamante=corpo%3Dindex.php

leafer Posted May 27, 2007 Posted May 27, 2007 Birdslicers? Just curious, which part of the nose are you referring to? The top of the radome, or the sides of the fuselage just aft of the radome? Nevermind that, what I would like to know is, how does he know it has low-intesity formation lights by looking at the pics? ED have been taking my money since 1995. :P

Black_Hawk Posted May 27, 2007 Posted May 27, 2007 ...what I would like to know is, how does he know it has low-intesity formation lights by looking at the pics? He's referring to the strips on the wingtips and tailfins and other parts of aircraft. You can see those on US aircraft... Just curious, those birdslicers, they do what they're called or is it some radio equipment? 159th GAR LockOnFiles CAW Team
vistrel Posted May 27, 2007 Posted May 27, 2007 One thing I'd like to see change is the interior color. Gray blue is so dull and boring. Warning: The following might cause stupidity http://youtube.com/watch?v=25LceCPO1ys
Black_Hawk Posted May 27, 2007 Posted May 27, 2007 It has nothing to do with whether you like it or not, it's about being unnoticed in air :P 159th GAR LockOnFiles CAW Team

Indian MKI is still better. .
Force_Feedback Posted May 27, 2007 Posted May 27, 2007 Those seats look hot. Oh wait, they are ;) Dark blue cockpit, nice. cool gear Creedence Clearwater Revival:worthy:
tflash Posted May 27, 2007 Posted May 27, 2007 You have the same antennae on the F-16A MLU and the F-16 Block 52 CCIP; I thought it were the modernized IFF antennae. From http://www.f-16.net/f-16_versions_article2.html Advanced IFF The Hazeltine APX-111(V1) Advanced Identification Friend-or-Foe system (AIFF) with increased range performance (100 Nm) will operate via four (rather striking) antennas mounted on the upper forward fuselage in front of the canopy. These "bird slicers", more formally known as Upper Interogator Fuselage Mounted Antenna (FMA) Array, will be the most noticeable exterior change of the Mid Life Update. The benefits of this AIFF system will be the support for BVR weapons delivery in excess of Radar/Missile limits and the enhanced situational awareness which reduces the chance of a fratricide.

Vekkinho Posted May 27, 2007 Posted May 27, 2007 Those 4 bars you see in front of the cockpit windshield are indeed IFF antennas. At least same thing is installed on Block 50/52 Vipers. Polish had to buy many F-16s, dunno exact type but probably MLUs, as their entrance ticket to NATO and upgraded their existing MiGs to NATO standards. To achieve this NATO IFF systems are a must, but keeping Fulcrums up to date and standard keeps them in service... [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Xealot Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 Beautiful cockpit in those SU-30MKM ! The community newbie http://winsbydefault.com/pics/dctf1ibxh7.gif Replace this image! It's too big! © Administration (max size: 150pix height, 50kb)
leafer Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 It has nothing to do with whether you like it or not, it's about being unnoticed in air :P Yeah, bring back the pink fur covered panel baby! :D ED have been taking my money since 1995. :P
Force_Feedback Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 Yeah, bring back the pink fur covered panel baby! :D Like I tried with the F-15 cockpit in 1.01 :D Pimplicious!!! Creedence Clearwater Revival:worthy:
