spaz:Thanks 'JSFfan' for your link to the story

sorry I can't find one about the su-30 here last year, the anti's like to beat it up, but it's not with over a 1/3 fuel
the known sus 4.6g of the f-35 wirh 50% fuel load/fraction @ 15kft and M.8 [end of life engine] is very comparable to the to the others including the legacy f-15,16/50,18c with full internal and CFT's and maybe a tank as well to get the fuel fraction, as CM will show us when he gets the time. especially when you add all the pods for a tough air/ground mission

spaz like cm you would have the knowledge to uses the flight manuals to come up with a comparison too, if you get the time

as to LO's current infatuation with the su-35, it's a su-27 with a FCS
"Unlike the Su-27M and Su-30MKI, the new Su-35 features the same aerodynamic configuration as the basic Su-27, but with larger wings and engine intakes. The Su-35 is not fitted with canards. The flight performance and manoeuvrability will instead be improved by the advanced KSU-35 fly-by-wire system."
