The picture is of the old version, this one is stretched by 1'10" and has a pod for the rearward-facing radar, like the Su 27 series has.
So far Haaregradia has ordered 2 446 Snipers converted to this standard as well as 624 new build aircraft.
Order Revised:
All new build aircraft have been canceled, only 1 616 airframes have been destined for conversion. The F-27 has begun entering service much earlier then expected.
OOC: This thread will be part salesfront and part show off what's going to fill the gap in between our forth generation fighters and fifth generation.
