YOU ARE RIGHT IN ALL THAT YOU HAVE SAYED

Some errors in the radar section. The SU-35 uses the Irbis radar not the Irbis-E the E stand for export. The frontal view is 120 degrees per side or 240 degrees total. N035 Irbis has several BVR and WVR A2A combat modes and can detect/track incoming aircraft with RSC 0.01sqm from 100kms, 0.1sqm from about 180kms ,1 sqm from about 270kms and 3sqm from 400kms. The Russian do have a missile that combines the characteristics of R-37 and R-77-1 it is the R-77M with an AESA seeker and range of 193kms+. It was designed for SU-57 and Sukhoi has not said whether it will be used SU-35.

The Irbis range of 400km for a 3 sqm target is for the mode with a super narrow search field designated by an AWACS or ESM system. In standard search mode the range is approximately half this. Regarding the R-77M, everything indicates that it is not yet operational.

[@chadbernard2641]

All radar ranges are given at the narrowest beam and maximum range to act like that is not the common practice is dishonest. Do you think they did any differently for the Gripen? As for R-77M it is only for SU-57 and not the SU-35. It completed testing years ago and went into small batch production. There are definitely not enough to waste in Ukraine.
