SOC is right when looking at the fine differences between the FULCRUM models, it is easier to use factory designations.

The 9.13S (late model FULCRUM-C), does it use the N-019M radar for R-77 integration?

Probably the biggest X factor in the military aviation world today; the final unit cost of the F-35.

I recently read that the Russian AF has given a lot of priority funding to the continued development of the Su-34.

Would make an excellent FENCER replacement.

I dont know how reliable the source is, so there you go…3 ACs by 2k8-10, setting up the scene to become superpower by 2020 goodluck

Strategy page has been discredited for other info in the past, so I would take this report with a huge barrel of salt. A couple of Chinese friends of mine have already told me to regard this report as bunk.

There is absolutely no physical evidence in Chinese yards to indicate they are building 40,000-ton class CVs, LET ALONE 3!

Figures I have for the APG-77 are 230 km against a fighter-sized target, and 490 km against a bomber-sized target.

Although the mode is not mentioned, I would guess at either velocity search (VS), or range-while-search (RWS).

On this ANZAC day in 2004……

Indeed…….. ‘Lest we Forget’
