In this day and age having a big radar is not necessarily a huge advantage. SPECTRA or DASS will pick up the signals from a F15 / MKI radar much earlier than those radars will get a lock or even detect them, and they will do it accurately enough to shoot a Meteor up its radome.

Thats not an oversimplification or anything. :rolleyes:

I agree and disagree at the same time. They certainly built a new M and M2, but like most aircraft, there’s no production line and dedicated tooling until it gets some serious orders. and right now only the Mig-29K has that. They may be related, but are still different aircraft. a 29-K with a different avionics suite probably likely (if its sold to begin with).

MiG-29K and MiG-29M today have the same avionics. The production line is extremely similar.

Feeling confident I see.

Some interesting photos of coastal defense complexes, the ‘Iron Horn’ polygon, 2008.

Second Aeroflot Superjet to be delivered soon, while second Armavia airframe expected in July.

don’t waste your time, they found the probe lol, fanboyos wishes can’t fight facts! 😉

What facts? That RCS reduction is but an afterthought in the general Rafale design? If not, wow, they are seriously behind true low RCS airframes.

n the Sino-Russian relationship, its China that pulls the leash. There’s little Russia can do about it really. Most Chinese are probably fine with the idea of China breaking up the relation and annexing Siberia.

Yeah, thats just nonsense. Sorry. Nobody pull’s each other’s leash in that relationship.

Don’t get me started on the Siberia thing, thats some mp.net level drivel. If that is what the majority of the Chinese believe, good for them. They are retarded.

Hopefully Russia just raised natural resource export price to China as a response for such disgusting infringement on intellectual property.
