Good. I love to see them coming en-masse.

Now.. i wonder about the Sukhoi-LTS ("T-75") They can perhaps slate that to replace MiG-29's in VKS.

Nice to see 4 of them but it will take 25 years to have 100 at this rate. To much floor spaces used for building Su-35 and other Flankers ? T-75 would be interesting is it use other facilities to build more plane per year.

With a lot of common components with Su-57, I don't know if they will compete for parts and will slow production...

I said this elsewhere. Production will increase further after the new aircraft paint shop in KnAAZ is complete.
It also remains to be seen what will happen later, i.e. if the Russian military will keep insisting on wanting the delivered Su-57M to have the Izd. 30 or not. Now that there is an ongoing conflict their orders might change. Back in WW2 there were plans to introduce the T-34M but because of the conflict it never happened and instead the T-34 was mass produced. So who knows.

With regards to the Su-75 I expect it to be built at the Sokol plant where the MiG-35 is being built. But who knows what they will decide to do.

B/c it far too massively increases fuel consumption and strain on double bypass engines, simple is that.
Tu-160 high altitude penetration speed is M=1.4. Speeds above that number are mostly for emergency situations, for the above-mentioned reason.

The official word is significant increase in range and improved performance.
the plane completely new from ground up. so it will not be correct to associate it with 1980s specification.

On August 12, another batch of upgraded NK-32 series 02 engines was shipped by the Samara enterprise UEC-Kuznetsov to Tupolev PJSC for installation on the Tu-160M strategic missile carrier. The aircraft became the fifth aircraft equipped with new NK-32 series 02 engines with improved performance. The new engine made it possible to significantly increase the flight range of the Tu-160M.

The Su-24M2 is distinct from the standard Su-24M SVP-24, though. Su-24M2 was a comprehensive upgrade but it was also more expensive, so they came up with a simpler upgrade for the Su-24M, the designation didn't change as it was only basically pluggin in the SVP-24 modules.

I mention low cost upgrade referring to the tweet.
The other upgrade was shown that they could possibly accomplish at time. They certainly could not AESA equipped upgrades that taking so long.
