RIPTIDE Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 I have a question regarding the A2G munitions available on the Su-33, IRL. Is there a capability to employ the KAB-500kr/1500kr or Kh-29T on the Su-33 as it stands today? Is it limited to unguided munitions? Thanks. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Boberro Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 Su-33 is under upgrade progress and it has 2 big LCDs and newer avionics. (ow yeah! :D)... so we can accept it can take those bombs, maybe even heavy KAB-1500. Reminder: Fighter pilots make movies. Bomber pilots make... HISTORY! :D | Also to be remembered: FRENCH TANKS HAVE ONE GEAR FORWARD AND FIVE BACKWARD :D ಠ_ಠ ツ

It was near 2000 that Su put the proposal out there. What I don't know is IF that upgrade has even started yet. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
GGTharos Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 There was one that was cancelled (the one widely reported by Jane's and is still reported everywhere, listing all kinds of things including Kh-41) and now there is another proposal out there that's happening right now.

Right. And the proposal that is happening right now. Is this the one me and Bob speak about? X-31/Kh-29T/KAB-500kr/1500kr abilities? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
GGTharos Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 Yep, but I have not seen exact specifications. It is a general modernization of the fighter, including glass cockpit, R-77, probably radar upgrade, ability to carry pods, and the weapons you mentioned. 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
