Raysian AeroMods has been working on improving their Su-37-1800 Model, and now they have a prototype that brings a whole new approach to the airborne attacker.

Built to rival and kick the A-10's butt, the Su-37 R-Type is going into full production immediately, and will be available on the Raysian Aerospace website very soon.

It seems a little too fast to make a good CAS/COIN plane, the Su 25/39, A-10 and A-9 are all really slow for a reason. Additionally with those straight, long wings it might not be as fast as you claim.

Edited: Maximum speed: Mach 0.9 normal, Mach 1.9 with post-combustion detonation (pulse engines) over the Jets.

Not bad. I'd buy some but I <3 my Su 39 variant.

How much would it cost to modify all 400 of my Su-37's?

How much would it cost to modify all 400 of my Su-37's?This is not a mod kit, it is a whole new plane, built upon the basic design of the Su-37.

I suppost though, if you gave us your 400 Su-37s, we could have them scrapped and reused to make the new ones. It'd cost you about... 8 Million a piece, so 3.2 Billion.

How about this... you trade those 400 Su-37s to us, along with the 3.2 billion, and we'll give you 400 new R-Types right away. We'll just scrap the old ones and use them for parts. Sound good?

of course, you are forgetting one key thing... you are replacing your dogfighters with attackers... I would not personally suggest this.

Oh, you modified them into attack aircraft...in that case, I will send over 50 Su-37s to be scrapped and reused, at $400 million.

5CN will purchase 200 to be given to puppets.

US$7.8 billion wired upon confirmation...

all orders confirmed.

Order has been upped to 600 aircraft...

US$7.8 billion has been wired for the initial order of 200...

Remaining US$15.6 for the remaining 400 will be wired, when confirmed...

Order confirmed. They will arrive sometime within the next year.

thank you, the balance has been wired... pleasure doing with you, sir...
