swimmer25k Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 I’m currently painting a 1/48 GWH Su-35 and need some suggestions for weapons loadout for an air to ground mission. The jet can pretty much carry anything in the in the Russian inventory and most options are available in the aftermarket. What would a realistic assortment of weapons look like?

Matt Walker Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 (edited) That armaments diagram is fine to show what it "can" carry, but that isn't what he is asking for. There are some photos of recent ops in Syria that show the 35's and 34's carrying relatively light loads of "dumb" bombs. It seems quite contradictory to use such a highly capable plane to carry 4 x unguided KAB 500's, or 2 unguided rocket pods, but that is what they're doing!

Helmsman Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 It just meant that task at hand required less payload than plane can carry. I guess Su-25 could perform the same task but Russians chose to train Su-34/35 crews and test the newer planes in real combat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
