That is a big sucker. Looks like he might be carrying the aircraft version of the ss-n-22 Sunburn.

It’s a solid fighter-bomber, but it’s based on the Su-27.

About 70 feet long, 45 feet tip to tip.

It’s Russia’s most competent light bomber, IMHO.

Not altogether happy to have them in the neighborhood, although I suppose Russia is a stabilizing force — for now.

I am most concerned with what happens next.

Sorry, left off part of my post. To put the size into perspective, it’s about 10 feet longer than an F-15.

I do not believe it is large enough to lift the Sunburn.
