Vaildog Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 I just got this kit, and am planning on doing a Ugandan Air Force example. What type of air to ground ordinance can the Su-30MKK typically carry? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Janissary Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Is this is the 1/48 HB kit? If so, where did you get it from? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They get the TrumpyBoss stuff first in the US typically. Also in stock at Sprue Bros as of yesterday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mingwin Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 i don't know what "typical" ordinance a Uganda Air Force MKK might carry... but the MKK can carry a very wide variety of air to ground ordinance, if not all of what's in use in the Russian inventory. (excepted things like Moskit...) my bet though, is that Uganda Airforce most likely use its Flanker for air defense/air superiority roles. (if not just a deterrence/show off role (yet)...as all pictures i've seen so far where of "clean configuration" aircraft.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 It looks like Uganda's Su-30MKK's are basically "deterrents" and playthings for military parades; but I would imagine the Russians would have at least sold them a full complement of FAB iron bombs, which most Su-27/30 can carry.

MoFo Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 I haven't seen any information on ordnance purchased with the Su-30s. There are vague references to AAMs and FAB or OFAB bombs in a few articles... but that's it. No specific weapons. I *haven't* seen any mention of smart munitions, so there's a good chance you could rule those out. FWIW though, in every photo I've ever seen, the aircraft are only carrying empty pylons (or nothing). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mungo1974 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 In the 30 or so images i've found online and saved for reference purposes of Ugandan Su-30's they are all unarmed apart from this one single image...not much help but there it is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I am selfishly very curious about the kit, but I'm sure everybody else would also appreciate it! Mostly sprue photos would be great, detail closeups even greater, a scan of the instruction sheet even greater-er. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
