The Su-37 Terminator is a unique post-Soviet fighter aircraft produced by Sukhoi.

Description

Known in NATO as the "Flanker-F", the Terminator is a demonstrator for thrust vectoring systems built from T-10-M1, the eleventh Su-35 Flanker-E prototype unit, in the newly born Russian Federation. It employs two-dimensional AL-37FU engines, along with dual Phazotron pulse radars; an N-011 in the front and an N-012 in its tail boom.

A second Su-35, T10M-12, was similarly converted to Su-37 standard, while the original appeared in various air shows across the world before being lost to a software-caused crash in 2002, which ended the program. Although it was never adopted by the Russian Air Force or Navy, the technologies it used are employed in the export Su-30 and the current Su-35.

General Analysis

The Terminator is considered to be a high-performance Fighter aircraft. Its performance is outmatched by only a handful of similar aircraft.

Game Analysis

Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies

Description

An improved version of the SU-35. Rear-radar and thrust vectoring nozzles provide unrivaled power in air combat.

History

The Su-37 Terminator was the signature aircraft of the Federal Erusian Air Force's Yellow Squadron, the members of which employed it in all of their engagements ever since the war began. All of Yellow Squadron's Terminators were destroyed by Mobius One by the conclusion of Operation Autumn Thunder. Fifteen unused Terminators, painted in the Yellow Squadron livery out of respect, were used by young Erusian officers in defense of Megalith; they were all shot down as well, by Mobius Squadron.

Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War

Description

Known as the "Terminator", this variant of the Su-27 was developed as an all-weather multipurpose fighter. Cutting edge electronics, and thrust vectoring nozzles give it unprecedented dogfighting capabilities.

History

The Belkan Air Force Gelb Team were the most notable pilots of the Terminator during the Belkan War. They used the aircraft in all of their known operations. Both members were shot down over Directus. Two other aces known to have used the aircraft were Erich Klinsmann and Dedrick Ebert.

Ace Combat: Assault Horizon

Description

This all-weather multipurpose fighter was developed to increase the aerial combat abilities of the Su-27. It is the first aircraft within the Flanker series to incorporate 2DCD thrust-vectoring nozzles resulting in increased turning performance. The addition of canard wings also provide increased stability. In 1996, the aircraft performed the very first Kulbit maneuver at an air show capturing the attention of people across the world. This aircraft is commonly known as the "Terminator."

History

The Su-37 spawned an export model, the Su-37F, likely implying that T10M-1 was not lost. Its history is unclear, but an squadron of such jets were destroyed by the four ASF-X Shinden II test pilots during the New Russian Federation's failed 2019 attack on Tokyo. The original model, however, did not see action in the 2015 Russian civil war.

Trivia

• The origin of the "Terminator" nickname is unclear. It is theorized that it is either an internal name given by Sukhoi itself in reference to its experimental technologies, or an original one created by Project Aces, yet there is no evidence to back either suggestion. Searches in Russian websites dating back to the time of release of Ace Combat 04, however, indicate that the name was publicly used prior to The Unsung War, implying that "Terminator" is indeed an internal Sukhoi nickname, or at least has roots in Russia.

Thrust vectoring is the ability to change the direction of thrust emitted from an engine. Aircraft with thrust vector control can perform enhanced maneuvers not available to aircraft without it.
