Velocity Search mode doesn’t give you a range, just a direction and a closure rate, so how can it have a range display?

I know it does not give you range, but in VS mode the radar range defaults to 80nm. The range indicator is replaced by the velocity indicator on the top of the screen, either 1,200kts or 2,400kts, which ever is selected.

So if a track is picked up in VS mode, we can assume that it is within 80nm of the our own radar right?

Speaking of Russian missiles..

Not sure if this is an anti-ship missile of some kind, but the big white weapon in this photo has had me bugged for ages.

Its mounted on an Su-34 by the way.

What could it be?

Not really. The presence of AWACS means the F/A-22 can sneak up on it’s prey – via datalink info – without having to use it’s own radar at all, and therefore remain unseen at least in respect to emissions. Theoretically it should be able to get close enough to fire an AMRAAM before the bogey even knows what is happening.

It looks like a paint job to me too. The dielectric panel is on the leading edge of the fin.

Have to admit this has woken me up!

I totally lost track of Saudi AF developments after 1991, and most of everything for a while as I was travelling. I was in Japan when the order for the F-15S was placed (1993), and in Japan again when it first flew, and then was rolled out officially (1995). After that I don’t recall reading about the deliveries which ended just 5 years ago.

Thanks MarocMirage for the reminder! 🙂

Or perhaps they should’ve called it BEAUTY? (Anyone who gets this reference wins a prize)

Ok, I give up! :confused:

Sorry, a passive phased array has a pretty limited range IIRC.

From what I have read the addition of phased-array antennas to radars has usually increased their range.

On the other hand performance can be degraded at extreme look angles relative to the pitch angle of the parent fighter, if the antenna is fixed. Perhaps this is where the notion of range limits have come from for phased arrays.

Well then what is the Blue Vixen radar based on, if it is actually based on anything?

Overstated the problem possibly.

It may be a browser problem. as all I get is a screen full of jibberish code when I click to download it. 😮

I am using Navigator v7.1.

The PANDA is the N-001 with a phased array antenna yes? First I have heard of it. Would like to know more.

Same the Zhuk-MSE, what are the details?
