About
A twin‑engine, single‑seat short-range interceptor designed alongside the Su‑27 to counter US jets. It features strong low-speed dogfight performance and comes equipped with advanced radar, helmet-mounted display, and IR/SARH missiles
Playstyle
Excels in tight dogfights: use the high turn rate and HMD-linked R‑73 missiles to quickly get a lock and shoot in close range. Don’t engage in long AIM‑7 BVR duels—prioritize energy-led maneuvering and close-quarter combat
