dsahling Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Does anyone have photos of the upper surface camouflage of the Su -27SM Flanker ‘Red 64’? And can anyone provide a list of details that differentiate the SM version of flankers? Thanks Dan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dan, The Su-27SM can be identified visually by the offset IRST ball on the windscreen (moved to starboard to make room for the IFR probe - although, curiously, the SM does not have a probe). It also has the small EW antenna on the L/E slats. Also lacking is the triangular shaped 'Berioza'(?) antenna on the intake sides. Here's a 'standard' old Su-27 for comparison..... There are other minor differences - the antenna on the fin tip trailing edge for example. Ken Quote Link to post Share on other sites
