wow… thats really one glossy plane! :diablo:
I always thought Mirage 4000 has movable canards? The pictures u posted seem to suggest that too… its quite different from the Mirage 2000 strakes.
I think i has fixed canards ala Kfir, i never have heard these were full moveable foreplanes niether i have seen pictures moving them. but i can not be totally sure they did not however this pictures seems to sugest they are foreplanes
Why do you think that they have to have the exact same routine?? The Cobra is well documented and Dozer has his own HELICOPTER manuver that he performs differently , as far as the chakra goes it is something the sukhoi pilot performs and it is in no means the only AIR SHOW MANUEVER or the routine that is perfect , every pilot has his own routine ( it is called freedom) , the pilot isnt bound by a obligation to fly in monotony of what other pilots are flying ( infact that was what the sukhoi test pilots were so praised for decades ago) he can do whatever he thinks demonstrates the capability of the jet , he does the sustained 30 degrees YAW manuver and the helicopter manuver in addition to the 60 degrees sustained close circuit thing .

Falling down and spining is not the Helicopter that the F-16 VISTA/MATV does, the F-16 VISTA/MATV losses very little altitude.
Any way up to this moment probably you are right i have to recheck in one of the videos i have where i have the F-16MATV to tell you how much altitude it losses but up to what i remember it losses little altitude thanks to thrust vectoring at Yaw and Pitch see that the F-22 has not thrust vectoring at YAW
They do show it at airshows , its been on atleast 2 with a full routine ( including manuevers such as helicopter,Tailside,cobra,60degrees sus. etc) and its 3 airshow will be this month , Another one in nov-dec. i believe and more to follow for sure in 2007 .
Show me the F-22 performing the Frolov Chakra, the Cobra turn and the Helicopter on Video surely there must be a video because undoutedly it has been performed publicly like the Su-37 or MiG-29OVT displays
Yeah that’s what they said about the Cobra too :rolleyes: Guess what, just because they don’t show something at airshows doesn’t mean it’s not possible.
Ah good answers and because we do not see martians it means there are not martians hehehehehe.
Shush it is so secret the Frolov Chakra tha we do not want Pugachev to see it performed by the F-22 because he might ask royalties for his intellectual property π
No one says that they are invulnerable but they are very, very hard to detect. Enough to only have one plane shot down in thousands of missions. Do you know of any other attack aircraft with those types of statistics because I don’t. It’s called survivability and stealth aircraft have it in spades.
How do you know what the people of Lockheed were thinking? If anything they were probably very glad that the aircraft they had designed almost 20 years ago had flown thousands of missions only being shot down once. The F-117 incident may have had even more impact on the F-22 program making it even more stealthy than what the USAF had originally planned.
No one says stealth is perfect. I don’t get where you are getting these statements from. We prove to you with facts that the stealth technology is far ahead of what most people think and you think it’s propaganda. There have been billions of dollars of research into this and according you a simple, cheap SAM system has rendered it obsolete. I don’t get it. :confused:
The MiG-29OVT and Su-30MKI are considered equal to the Raptor in terms of manueverablility according to Raptor pilots. There is no other air superiority fighter that employs supercruise in the same way as the F-22. It avionics suite is more powerful than any other fighter. There is a reason why the F-22 is ahead of the field in almost every category.
If the Raptor is an equal to the MiG-29OVT why not show it in airshows?
The MiG-29OVT and the F-16VISTA/MATV are the most maneouvrable aircraft ever designed thanks to 3D thrust vectoring i have to see a Frolov Chakra performed by an F-22 show me one can you? can you show me the F-16 and X-31 famous helicopter manoeuvre performed by the F-22?
In assymetric wars i can assure you the F-22 will be seldomly shot down but in real wars with an enemy in the class of China, Russia or Europe the F-22 will loss in a very optimistic way according to even European predictions one F-22 for 10 Su-37s, that number can be reduced with the newer Su-35BM and MiG-29OVT and that will be reduced further once the I-21 is in production and that is at BVR combat, at WVR combat, that will be almost an equal specially when Russia, China and Europe have AIM-9X equivalents already the Eurofighter, Rafale and Gripe are armed with such weapons.
Russia has those weaposn in the form of the AA-11/R-74 but they are going to field soon a new weapon in the class of the AIM-9X
You said it brother! Which is why for the most part I’ve stopped responding to Firebar, OverG, and yourself.
Please be a mature person, aircraft are machines, machines can always be improve, can always be shot down, the fact the F-117 was shot down it proves you no weapon is safe, no weapon is unvulnerable.
You get the posture the F-22 is unbeatable, stealth technology flawless, you show propaganda style answers, the people of Lockheed when they knew the F-117 was shot down they were not thinking it`s a fluke, no they had to think the enemy had technology that made stealth technology vulnerable and found stealth flaws.
Stealth is not perfect, specially when you have nations with similar scientific and technological level.
The USAF knows it, but they know that if they fight assymetric wars the possibilities the enemy beats you are quit low.
The F-22 as a weapons system is the best fighter aircraft, true but it does not mean some aircraft are not more manoeuvrable, have not supercruise or armed not with better weapons.
The F-22 is the most balanced fighter in what respects stealth, supercruise and super manoeuvrability.
If it was that effective they would have shot down more than one single F-117A.
Man is really boring to have to explain to ultranationalist an naive jingoistic aviation fans, facts about war, The US only has attacked third world nations without real defensive capability, the USAF are not stupid they go to war with superiority in numbers, superiority in quality and supported by at least two or three NATO air Forces.
If you are little bit aware and have read books you will know that the only air force in the world that could destroy large amounts of NATO aircraft in short periods of time was the Warsaw Pact
For Serbia or even Iraq, facing the US was already a dead sentence due to the lack of resources thay had. Serbia only Had 18 MiG-29 already obsolecent and basicly obsolete aircraft and SAMs, it is really a demostration that even lacking resources Davith (Serbia) hit Goliath (NATO).
Serbia was not even cold war Yugoslavia.
Second Russian reports claim at least some other F-117 were hit.
Also Serbia in 1999 did not fight a war like Vietnam in the 1960s that lasted Years so shooting aircraft in an assymetric war is more likely in long periods of time than in short periods of time.
See simply this reality, during the Soviet-Afghan War, the Soviets never lost a single Tu-22M or a single Su-24 but these aircraft are not stealthy.
If you can not see assymetric war reduces the chances an enemy destroys you your own military assets man is worthless explaining that Serbia for the resources it had did a good job in the short time that war lasted
Do you think a SAM system can’t be concealed, or repositioned? If the targeting and monitoring of assets was that sophisticated, then why were so many dummy tanks hit, huh?
You obviously aren’t aware that black is NOT the optimum paintjob for hiding an aircraft at night. The USAF wanted them black, so they’re black.
Meaning that it wasn’t “old radars and old missiles made by the Soviet Union” that brought the F117A down either, was it?
Account of what, the F-117A shootdown?
Again, this is all irrelevant, as I am in no way saying that the F-117A or the F-22A are invisible.
The Westen report i gave you says the SAM was upgraded, and this shows you that even a small upgrade can redered ineffective an aircraft that supposedly had to render obsolete any known air defence system or future systems.
Second we are not talking about the newest Russian SAMs but a very old missile designed in the late 1950s.
The aircraft was locked by an old missile, shot it by an old missile using a device based upon the same electromagnetic emissions the F-117 supposedly rendered useless thanks to faceting and RAM. π
Do you think that Russia won`t export that Technology? do you think that a cheap device that has rendered billions poured into 57 aircraft useless deserves acknowledgement as a proof Stealth technology has some flaws.
Russian articles claim that some radar frecuencies can detect stealth aircraft.
You think? No stealth aircraft is completely invisible. That’s pretty much impossible.
Russia probably is too. And it might have nothing to do with shooting one down either; if you can understand how it works, and figure out how to track it, you’ll have a much better go at making a comparable aircraft of your own.
And? We’ve already established that the airplane isn’t invisible, and that the Serbs knew what route the jet would be flying. Hitting one at that point is not hard at all.
Detected, that’s possible. But using those random detections to triangulate a firing solution or accurately track position is massively more complicated and very, very problematic.
Given that the chances of the US going to war with either Russia or China are virtually nonexistant, it’ll make a good bit of difference on the battlefields that actually matter.
SOC do you think the US does not plan the routes? do you think they do not have survaillance before planning the route of the F-117? that they do not know what assets has an enemy around the intended target?
Do you think the F-117 will fly at very low altitude easy to be spotted at naked eye? why do the F-117 is painted black? in any mission they try to make stealthy the F-117 even at naked eye if it was shot down was in the early hours of the morning
It was detected with technology this is even what every western supported versions of what the Serbs said claim
In an interview this week with The Associated Press, Dani said the F-117 was detected and shot down during a moonless night β just three days into the war β by a Soviet-made SA-3 Goa surface-to-air missile.
“We used a little innovation to update our 1960s-vintage SAMs to detect the Nighthawk,” Dani said. He declined to discuss specifics, saying the exact nature of the modification to the warhead’s guidance system remains a military secret.
It involved “electromagnetic waves,” was all that Dani β who now owns a small bakery in this sleepy village just north of Belgrade β would divulge.
See they say in a moonless night and he talks about electromagnetic waves
http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2005-10-26-serb-stealth_x.htm
This proves you the Russians are saying somthing coherent with the western account.
Stealth aircraft can be detected, the F-22 is not totally unvulnerable to detection that is the reason it has AIM-9Xs and super cruise
AIM-120 is an active radar AAM. Normally you fire it with midcourse guidance from the launch platform until it goes active, but you can also use it in “attack dog” mode. You fire it inertially to a certain point, where it goes active and locks onto and chases the closest target. Fire it like that towards a MiG-31 and the FOXHOUND won’t have any signals to get an RWR indicator off of. Especially when you consider that the F-22A can cue an AIM-120 shot using ESM only, tracking FLASH DANCE emissions from the FOXHOUND and launching an AIM-120.
Also, who says you have to fire an AIM-120 in tail-chase mode. Fire it from head-on in the manner I described from outside the Raptor’s detectable range by the MiG-31 (which is, again, what the F-22A was designed to achieve-missile launches outside the effective range of enemy sensors) and FOXHOUND won’t know what’s going on until the AMRAAM goes active, by which time it’s probably too late given the relative non-maneuverability of FOXHOUND.
Radome: nope. Radar array is angled and the radome is treated, with all edges being treated and serrated.
Nozzle: nope. All edges are treated and serrated.
Auxiliary intakes: won’t be open in cruise flight, and again, probably nope, as again all edges are treated and serrated.
Cockpit: now the both of you are making things up, reaching, or both. The canopy is gold treated to prevent radar signals from being to enter the canopy and reflect off of the cockpit. That’s old news; look at current USAF F-16s and the Rafale. The canopy itself is also shaped to reduce RCS as it acts like a solid surface.
The F-22 is not invisible to radar, it only has a minimized radar signature to some radar frecuencies and radar models

This article says the Chinese are developing technologies to detect the F-22
They claim that the F-117 was shot down by the same technology it was thought the F-117 had rendered obsolete, yes old radars and old missiles made by the Soviet Union.
The F-22 makes more difficult the hunt, it`s a very well armed figter, has good performance but by no means it is invisible to radar its faceting still reflects radar emissions not to the original radar source but to different direction, these emissions might be weakened by RAM but still they will emit a reduced signature.
these emitions can still be detected by a set of radars arranged on the ground.
It is the fate of the F-22 to be neutralized by Russian or Chinese technology that is the dynamics of the arms race what is important is how fast it will be to have a real meaning politically and militarilly?
According to what is suggested, SIBNIA may have assisted in the structural analysis. It sounds to me that if they have helped they were helping to fit the engine.
I think MiG may have helped. The J-10’s variable ramp intake along with the braces look very similar to the one the MiG 1.44—which also have this braces. In fact, the MiG 1.44 is the only other plane to have such braces. If you look at the FC-1, the original design has strakes in the wing root. MiG loves strakes, it worked on the MiG-23, so they put them in the MiG 1.44 and their Project 33 concept. Although in the end, the later FC-1 prototypes removed them. This also suggests that Russian input can be thrown out as easily as they are taken in.
I don’t think the Russians played a part in avionics and if they did, the input was thrown out. When China seriously considered the Zhemchug radar for the J-10, presumably Russians are going to be consulted with its integration. Actually I don’t see how SIBNIA could work on this, it is MiG again that has more experience integrating with this radar since this radar, also known as the Zhuk ME, is the radar used in MiG-29 upgrades.
But China went back to a locally developed radar instead, using locally developed weapons. These technologies were already developed and perfected on J-8IIs. Any article or report that fails to account how development on the J-8II contributes to the J-10 becomes somewhat discredible.
This is the original article
helping the Chinese to understand how their Su-27s actually performed and how Chinese industry could improve in its efforts to license assemble and support these aircraft. But SibNIA found itself acting as an instructor and scientific “guide” in helping the Chinese understand how to design aa new aircraft from the bottom up.
According to SibNIA, the J-10 is a melting pot of foreign technology and acquired design methods. “The aircraft is more or less a version of the Lavi”, say those Russian designers who have worked with the Chinese on this program, “but there are a number of other pieces of other aircraft that are part of the configuration that they have acquired from different sources”. Those who have observed the process of the J-10’s design also stress that the Chinese not only needed help in acquiring the building blocks of hte aircraft, they also needed assistance to synthesise all the elements they had acquired ito a cohesive design.
SIBNIA MAIN TRADE IS:
The Institute focuses on the following aspects: research and development of aircraft in the field of aerodynamics, flight dynamics, aircraft resistance and aircraft performance, comprehensive airworthiness assessment of airplanes and helicopters: airworthiness assessment of ground effect machines as regards aerodynamics, strength, safe fatigue life and reliability of the aircraft: approval tests of various machines in Siberia and the Far East including issuing certificates; development of production of certain products traditionally produced by the Institute; other activities.
This is from MAKS official webpage http://www.airshow.ru/firms/e103.htm
This implies that SIBNIA helped mostly in aerodynamics in the J-10 program.
Very likely SIBNIA helped the Chinese how to develop the J-10 aerodynamically as a scientific guide helping them from the bottom up, it does not discard help in aircraft structural design but since SIBNIA specializes in Aerodynamics i would say they helped to modify the aerodynamic Lavi concept into the J-10 modern configuration.
Good question! The Russians SIBNIA did not have any role in the development of the IAI Lavi, then how can they be the judge of what Lavi content is in the J-10?
You are totally and utterly wrong, SIBNIA has helped the Chinese in several programs among them the J-11 and the J-10, they know that becasue the Russians several times reported Israeli technicians working along side them and Chegdu in the J-10 program and the Russians claim the J-10 is based on the Lavi.
Did they actually confirm passing ‘some’ technology or simply ‘stayed quiet’ in response to a direct question?
Based on what information?
And did it have any negative impact on US-Israeli relations?
If you read several internet articles, magazines and books you will know that Israel has had an involvemnet in the J-10.
SIBNIA did work on the J-10 program, as an aerodynamic advisor research institute, in few words the modern shape of the J-10 is in part a result of SIBNIA`s involvement in the J-10.
has had the IAI Lavi-J-10 conection an impact on the Israeli-Us relations? the answer is yes and a very easy example is the Israeli participation in the F-35 program
No, I am not misunderstanding you. Your talk of different “concept and goals” is just another way for you to say Jews being superior when Israel had never developed a proper plane of her own. So how did the Lavi became such a super plane when all Israel had was the Mirage knockoff the Kfir before or since?
Where are the other Israeli superplanes? Are you blaming the US for stifling your supermen capabilities.
You have been doing the same thing for years. You have no interest in China and make no attempt to study or understand anything Chinese and yet you were at a Chinese forum making claims based on “concept of progress.” :rolleyes:
Sorry, in aviation, the goals of all nations are the same.
And China which has given the world some of the foundation inventions (paper, gunpowder, compass, silk, porcelain, etc.) is chop liver? :rolleyes:
Yes, you Jews are supermen. So what does that have to do with the fact that the Lavi was never put into production?
Historically the West have a far more negative view of the Jews and we knew this particular view overpowered any sense of the Jews setting progress in the West.
Germany, the most technologically advanced nation of the West, was of the view that the West was infiltrated and slowly ruined by Jews. This view led to mass murder in the 1940s.
These stereotypical views, negative or positive are not present in East Asian upbringing, we don’t know or care for them. So why should I accept either one as an argument?
I just need to know how a plane in China could be the Lavi when the Lavi was not put into production in Israel itself and all five Lavis were accounted for in Israel.
More talk about the superiority of Jews.
In order to explain the Lavi, you have put forth the other equally famopus qualities of Jews and those are the Western notions that Jews will betray all friends and all alies for money and money alone. That Jews will lie and not trustworthy.
In order to explain the Lavi in China you are saying that Israel backstabbed the US, its protector.
Governments are not suicidal. Israel denies any passing of the Lavi to China and the evidence is on its side.
All five Lavis are accounded for in Israel. The Lavi itself was never a viable design.
You are attempting to use both the ugly and the good stereotypes of the Jew in order to claim the J-10 which flies only in China.
I rather believe the Israeli government: the Lavi never went to China.
Again, Israel might have passed (American) technology to China. But the J-10 is not the Lavi. Just as the Gripen is not American because there are American technology in it.
Strevitel, you make no attempt to study or understand the Chinese or the Chinese aviation industry. Your replies (and Sens’ replies as well) are all based in this concept of racial and ethnic superiority. Your understanding of the Chines is based on nothing but stereotypes.
So just stick to the facts. Israel denies any transfer of the Lavi to China. All five Lavi are accounted for in Israel not China. And the Lavi itself is a failed project from a much smaller and inferior aviation industry compared to China’s.
That is all we need to know. We do not need yours or Sens racial talk on Jewish superiority or dismissive speeches about “eastern” ways of thinking or Chinese “nationalism.”
Just look at the facts and nothing more.
First let`s start to straight up a few things.
A) All humans are the same because we are the same spieces, this is also a view shared by Judaism
B)Israel`s influence in the Western world has been a moral one. Christinanity is a form of Judaism, was founded by Jews and spreaded through the non jewish world, even Islam has its root on Judaism
C)Jews have had great thinkers and scientists through the ages as a result of several factors, among them a moral revolution started by concepts such as the ten commandments, the Sabbath, etc etc and was reworked by Christianity the renaissance and the greek philosophy
I will tell you that Judaism is a religion that has had great influence in the Western world due to Chistianity.
Now Golden Dragon Jews are like any one can do good deeds and can do bad deeds, however Judaism uncourages people to do good deeds and avoid bad deeds.
Thanks to the fact Judaism has encouraged people to do good deeds jews have had great thinkers, scientists and inventors.
Since Israel is a nation where science and engineering are at high levels and there are many jew scientists who have links to the state of Israel such as Marcel Bloch AKA Dassault Israel could developed the IAI Kfir, the Lavi was also developed by israeli engineers and scientists, only 40% of the Lavi components were made by the US, the US financed 40% of the Lavi investment.
Now the Israeli Government never denied passing aircraft technology to China, niether not involved in the J-10 program, only denied passing all the Lavi technology to the J-10.
Russia`s SIBNIA affirms that Israel passed more technology than basicly is acknowledged by Israel becuase in the statement it is more less a variant of the Lavi implies the direct Lavi ancestry of the J-10.
The US made the same claim that SIBNIA made.
Wikepedia on the subject of canards.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canard
The term canard has also come to mean any horizontal airfoil mounted in front of the main wing.
Strakes = an aerodynamic surface generally mounted on the fuselage of an aircraft to fine-tune the airflow. Aircraft designers choose the location, angle and shape of the strake to produce the desired interaction.
I stand corrected, however the Mirage 2000 strakes work very similar to a canard, they are not working as ventral fins but since the IAI Kfir and Mirage 4000 have bigger fixed canards than the small strakes that the Mirage 2000 has also add lift
