Thank you for giving me what i need. I will drop this subject with moonlight on this thread unless he brings a different subject up than this .
[USER=”70376″]stealthflanker[/USER]
I know i have missed a good conversation between you and moonlight. But i have some questions to ask. Are decoys only used for deceptive jamming to immitate aircraft targets. Also in regards to self protection jamming, missiles with passive homing will usually go after higher burnthrough jamming targets correct?
a) the location is my concern of the target.
b) once the jamming started. I agree that the missile could be fooled and led away only if the F-35 picked up the missile before the missile picked up the f-35.
@moonlight
a) I was referncing the picked up location of the f-15 being shown in a 7 o clock position on an RWR. Lower noise levels can pick up an emitting target better.
B) R-37 cant detect target because of jamming(this is assuming the aircraft was well aware of the missile before the missile was well aware of the target aircraft) i got that part. Goes to HOJ but emitter is turned off. OK i got that but if you turn off your emitter that means you are no longer jamming and if you are no longer jamming the host radar of the missile will have its lock on range back to normal switching from HOJ back to detection correct?
C) the source said that was the iskander missile. If you do not have stance to stand on to prove that a small range air to air missile is 10-100 times bigger than a bigger surface area srbm than let me know so we can avoid discussing this. I dont care if i got a big impact or not on this forum or you but the people that i thought here were hotshots did manage to screw up from time to time.
“I hope that make sense, or you can see garry’s illustration of that technique.”
I got it from eloise or in other words mig-31bm http://www.f-16.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=27364 So I guess I was not the only one for suspecting both garrya and mig-31bm very close similiarity as users. But I will still take garrya’s word for it that mig-31bm is not his 2nd user account here.

“Although an aircraft’s radar can only scan out in front of the aircraft, an aircraft can listen for incoming radar signals in any direction, so the scope is 360°. A digital signal processor looks for recognizable radio “chirps” that correspond to known radars, and displays their azimuth on the scope. A chirp is a distinctive waveform that a radio uses. See, if two radios use the same waveform simultaneously, they’ll confuse each other, because each radio won’t know which radar returns are from its own transmitter. To prevent this, different radios tend to use distinct waveforms. This can also be used by the target aircraft to identify the type of radar being used, and therefore possibly, the type of aircraft.
In this display, the RWR has detected an F-15 (15 with a hat on it indicating aircraft) at the 7-o’clock position. The strength of the radar is plotted as distance from the center — the closer to the center, the stronger the detected radar signal, and therefore possibly the closer the transmitting aircraft.”
Although the info of the 90 degree turns might be old information but the accuracy could have improved since newer RWRs can listen to lower noise levels.
“cooperate jamming”
http://www.ausairpower.net/APA-Warpac-Rus-PLA-ESM.html
stationary passive systems have better accuracy than self reliant RWRs on aircrafts. if more targets want to cooperate jamming a target than this will just give information that there is more than 1 target jamming for passive homing. Although there is possibly one more threat that stealth designs might run into.
“you can’t go back and forth between DF-15, Iskander, some random warhead as an illustration of RCS, and you can’t compare RCS of objects with size if their shape and material are not similar.”
we can pretend that they are warheads but warheads with that claimed RCS cannot have a lower RCS than a target that has less surface area exposure like a small air to air missile. If this was the case than the SU-34 is a far superior design in terms of 360 degree coverage than a F-35.
“I do not add or remove zeros from your reference, i displayed the equation to you and how to use it. “
ME: 13th April 2019, 02:01 “3.749kms was the tracking range for a .0001m2 target, 50% probability detection is even further than that. “
YOU: 15th April 2019, 15:49 “If the detection range for 0.001 m2 target is 3.7 km then detection range for 10 m2 target is 37 km”
Why did you take away my zero?
ME: 12th April 2019, 13:53 “https://aviationweek.com/technology/…tection-claims “
NNIRT says that the Chinese DF-15 short-range ballistic missile has a 0.002 m2 RCS in X-band, but is 0.6 m2 in VHF.” Notice that they are talking about the missile and no war heads. However having a missile fly straight at you the face of that missile would be the 1 diameter reflection along with the fins sticking out. However the sides and underbelly will reflect more.
YOU: 13th April 2019, 00:11 “a) a missile isn’t a warhead but a whole SRBM do not have 0.0002 m2 radar reflection”
Why did you add a zero?

“And, as we irradiate an enemy in an unprecedentedly wide range of frequencies, we’ll know its position with the highest accuracy and after processing we’ll get an almost photographic image of it – radio vision,” Mikheyev said.
we emit an ultra-high frequency signal, it is reflected back and we receive and process it and get the radar picture of an object. We see what we need to do to make it optimal,” he said.”
Although lower frequencies than X-band are not accurate enough to be used as a tracking solution. The next question for the future is how powerful host radars on missiles are to correct the inaccuracy of lower frequencies to just get the missile on the right path to the target to do the rest. There also has to be a very good reason why the s-500 system’s newer warheads are able to track targets on their own.
“The agreement stipulates the creation and introduction of advanced computing platform for aviation and other systems on the basis of Elbrus microprocessors and adapted multicore protected BagrOS-4000 software,” it said.

BagrOS-4000 is a modern real-time and highly effective and mobile software. It operates computing resources and organizes them for operation in a tough real-time regime.”
Just SU-57 updates.
@moonlight
but you can’t use that for air to air missile because target are constantly moving”
Thats why your aircraft has radars and RWRs. If a target is constantly moving like going zig zags he will just give back high RCS returns to update the missile. if the target does not want to give high RCS returns he will just fly a straight path to give the lowest RCS returns to his adversary but this will make you a easier target for the aircraft to update the homing air to air missile of its location through RWR.
“Please don’t tell me you don’t know what an Iskander-M look like
There is no way you can argue against measurement data with your eye ball analysis”
Iskander in terms of small surface area still defeats a f-22, su-57 or F-35 which is why .002m2 is a fair RCS. Lets just give you the benefit of a doubt that your -10 decibel small air to air missile is legitimate. Than I can proudly say with full confidence on this board that the SU-35’s mechanical steering and su-34s side and back radars, su-57s side radars all completely sh!t on whatever the US has in terms of offering better 360 degree coverage. I will ignore responding to yjust this part of our conversation later until you offer me an ultamatim.
“K-77M can’t have same accuracy as aircraft RWR or Kolchuga and it can’t use most passive ranging methods”
The aircraft can update the missile. There are literally sources for the R-77 that say 80% of its flight is from the information of the aircrafts radars the other 20% of its flight is done by the missiles radar but that is referencing a 3m2 target.
“There is no need for F-35 to fly zig zag, because the specific method linked to that countermeasure can’t be used by K-77.”
Your are exposing your sides to the adversaries 120 degree beam radar. That offers some good tracking information that can be updated to the missile.
“If the detection range for 0.001 m2 target is 3.7 km then detection range for 10 m2 target is 37 km
If the burn though range for 0.001 m2 target is 3.7 km then the burn through range for 10 m2 target is 370 km”
1st stop adding my zeros and stop taking away my zeros since this information is referenced from my sources.
For 10m2 target on AESA calculator the range is 34.560kms.
@A&D
“Even the F-35 program took off, because the US Government was able to strike export deals with several countries
If you want to find out which aircraft is better.
1) remove sanctions from the country developing the SU-57 or don’t threaten countries wanting to purchase russian equipment with sanctions.
2) Stop spending 70% for NATO than have the Russians join NATO(they have tried to join multiple times in the past) since most of these countries seem decently rich.
“stead what we see is plenty of bolts and other crap sticking out of it. It isn’t stealthy from the front with all of those bolts nor the back with exposed engine casings.”
Wait till the product is considered operational I get it that there are alot of F-35 diehards trying their best and seem to be the only users that go to other country aircraft threads to prove their selfworth of how great their things are. Well that is probably one of the reasons why the su-57 and russian aviation threads on this forum always have the highest views.
“Furthermore, currently Russia doesn’t even have any active service GaAS AESA radars”
They have changed computers, added fiber optics to their composite materials, changed navigation systems. Spoke of GaN MMICs in 2014 of 3 specific aircrafts which got new EW systems at the end of 2014, 2016 and 2018 and have had their jaming distance of orlan 10 increased by 3.5 times in range now I am hearing about pole-21 modules from tass news(dont know what kind of modules these are) which are being used in their other new mentioned equipment(people have the right to disagree on this if they want). Pika-m radars offer a 300km range for the su-34 side radars and according to the source this company is working on a 5th gen version which for all we know can go replace the current side radars on the SU-57. They are also are working on newer engines.
Wait for the MAKS 2019 airshow they might have some decent aviation revelations. However the only thing so far that I am looking forward to that was promised back in 2017 was visitors flying VTOL cars that can also travel on water.

”
Not entirely true, the F-35 uses fiber optics for missions systems communications, and notably EOTS connection” I believe it was a grammar issue on my part since I meant to say that the firewire got replaced with fiber optics. Apologies on my part.
“the F-22 has had significant and steady upgrades as well. Will dig them back up if interested. ” I am hearing a lot of plans for the F-22 that would be greatly appreciated for this thread as well.
I think I am going to start a debate here and see if I am able to convince people that the SU-34 is the best aircraft that provides the best 360 degree coverage among all aircraft excluding AWACS.

To some this might be old information but it seems pretty new to me.

“
The UKR-RL houses the M402 Pika-M (Spike M) side-looking radar developed by NII Kulon. The export-oriented variant of the subsystem has a target detection range of up to 300 km and a resolving power of some 1-1.5 m, the developer claims.” The 1-1.5 m he is referring to resolution for the side radars if anyone has RCS estimates on it feel free to add it here.
https://www.aviaport.ru/digest/2016/09/23/396509.html
“The fourth-generation radar, Pika-M, is designed for radar reconnaissance, including for detecting enemy military installations – roads, airports, bunkers, fortifications, as well as weapons and military equipment.
The station implements the function of processing radar information in real time, and also provides a telescopic observation mode with a resolution of up to 30 cm. In particular, the locator is able to “see” the aircraft elements in detail – engine, keel, weaponry, etc., and determine according to characteristic signs of its type”.
Also this part here trips me out mentioned later in the source.
“The radar successfully completed the state test program in 2016.At the same time, the Research and Development Institute Kulon, by request of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, is developing a technology for creating a fifth-generation side-looking radar with an active phased antenna array (AFAR).” Isnt the side radars of the SU-57 considered 5th gen? Because I do recall the current side X-bands being AFAR or AESA. Are they planning to develope newer 5th gen side radars to replace the current ones? It seems like a pretty good source to me.
http://survincity.com/2012/03/su-34/
“Characteristic tail “sting” of the Su-34 has become even more in comparison with the Su-27, and houses a radar tracking the approach of an enemy from behind.”
http://www.deagel.com/Sensor-Systems…003839001.aspx
“The Platan is an advanced, integrated electro-optical targeting system designed for the Su-34 long-range strike fighter. The Platan is located under the Su-34 fuselage and allows delivery of a wide array of precision-guided bombs and missiles day/night in all weather conditions. Besides, the sensor system also allows identification of potential targets from standoff ranges. The targeting system was deployed along with the Su-34 bomber beginning in 2011.”
I should have also included the addition of 4th to 4.5th generation aircrafts for this thread as well. So if we were to exclude AWACS would this aircraft as a bomber have the best 360 degree coverage against threats? Because of 360 degree radar, EOTS and RWR would it be the most superior aircraft among fighters and bombers regarding 360 degree coverage against threats in general because of it?

“
Obsolescence typically forces a tech refresh every 10 years, so an airplane with a 30 year lifespan will go through two tech refreshes”
You are spot on with your assessment. I notice that there have been changes like my last source I have provided on the Su-57 that the aircraft was using the same computer used on the SU-35 which than got replaced. And the F-35 previously used firewire than later fiber optics along with Harris giving the F-35s newer processors that offer 25 times more computing power in which I now got a question as to what was the processing power of the old F-35s computer just to multiply that by 25 since I am having difficulty finding the source but I do know it exists somewhere. Thanks for the 6th gen mission system requirements.
@LtAnderson
I do not know if that question was aimed at me. But I was more focused on talking about the armament of the SU-57 like the K-77M missile. And my 2nd to last paragraph was talking about the SU-57’s radars around its body and how it can be used to provide updates to the missile like passive and active guidance. However other users(like mig-31bm) always get me side tracked when they bring a different subject to this thread usually in which I disagree with like comparing the sparrow missiles to the kinzhal.


I keep on hearing about stories like this all the time in Britain. Is the EU still imposing migrants to go to Britain. I heard Merkel is cutting down on numbers. If Britain is still on the remain side and brexit is ignored will their country by any chance cut down on migration like Merkel or no?
”
Fire and forget do not allow missile to ignore jamming.” The missile has passive guidance to follow the jamming source and it can stay fixed on that jamming source. RF waves come from different directions depending which target is emitting it.
“a) that photo isn’t DF-15, it is the re-entry warhead of a missile or internal of a bomb. SRBM don’t have the same shaping and materiala as stealth fighter, their radar cross section can’t be compared using size.”
You got yourself tide up pretty good on a spider web right now.
https://russiandefpolicy.blog/tag/srbm/ That is an iskander-m missile are you sure you know the difference between a warhead and a missile? That picture with defense minister Shogyu I am able to see a fin sticking out of the missile. Although it is not the DF-15 that is an example of the size of a SRBM.
b) it is a short range air to air missile.”
You have quoted that the .002m2 is the warhead and not the whole DF-15 missile correct(don’t get editing on me right now) ”
but I can assure you they are referring to the re entry warhead because that when the warhead is tracked.” “I can bet my leg that your number for SRBM is for the reentry warhead instead of the whole missile so to count the length of the total SRBM length is misleading,”
OK so what is bigger in size is it that warhead or the short range air to air missile you have presented to me(see what I mean that you are binding yourself in a spider web)? Example of a short range air to air missile. http://www.deagel.com/Defensive-Weap…001033002.aspx Dimensions
Diameter: 0.17 meter (6.69 inch)
Length: 2.92 meter (115 inch)
Wingspan: 0.51 meter (20.1 inch) If you are looking at the front of the so called warhead you have claimed there is absolutely no way that the size would be .002m2 as you have said before. And no way that warhead would be many times smaller in RCS than a short range air to air missile from the front. You can go throw a lifeline to actionjackson, jo asakura, trident, snufflebug or anyone here that appears to be a subject matter expert on reflections based on stealth appearance(I do not think they would want to be involved in our petty argument). But no way a small air to air missile from the front offers 10-100 times more size in RCS than a huge surface of a SRBM warhead and no way that the entire front appearance of a non-stealth F-16 is more stealthy than a small air to air missile.
“
3.7 km is detection range of the seeker without ECM. With ECM, your tracking range shrink to a dozen meter. DAS will detect K-77 and R-37 much earlier then them can detect VLO target. If you want to message stealthflanker or garr don’t hesitate, they will tell you the same thing. If missile use passive HoJ, it will hit the decoy, if it uses its own seeker, it will be blind.”
Think of the SU-57 just like the K-77M missile. Himalayas, the L and even the side X-band radars can be used to receive signals. F-35 has to have its radar turned on just like the SU-57. Sure the F-35 can fly zig zags to fu(k up the passive guidance but flying those zig zags in front of a 120 degree radar beam from the front will give high RCS returns to update the missile since you are exposing your sides. The missile itself in dual mode can use its radar and use passive guidance. example of the old kolchuga “
Special inhibitory sorters omit up to 24 interfering signals, and tracking sorters make it possible to synchronously sort out and track signals from 32 targets” However I can not assume that the missile has the capability to see more than 1 interfering signal but I am sure the SU-57 using Himalayas among the other radars to just receive signals might pick up more than 1 signal and update the missile which one to go after.
you said 3.7kms will shrink to 12 meters. Please show me a source or your calculations how that will be done. I am curious about the jamming power able to suppress it that much that is the F-35 is able to track the K-77M before the K-77M tracks it to come up with a countermeasure.
@moonlight
“Fire and forget is the mode of any missile with terminal seeker. It do not mean what you said it does”
https://www.globalsecurity.org/milit…ssia/aa-12.htm
“Operating modes of 9B-1348E are: active mode, fully autonomous (active) in the initial parameters of target designation without radar support for other radars in flight (“let-forget”), using only preliminary target designation, without radar support in flight; the inertial guidance mode with radio correction from the radar stations of the carrier aircraft and active guidance on the final phase of the flight. “
” a missile isn’t a warhead but a whole SRBM do not have 0.0002 m2 radar reflection”
I do not recall adding an extra zero.
“SRBM is big and they don’t have the stealth shape or radar absorbing material.”
Sure they are big but not as big in surface reflection than an F-35.

If you are looking directly at the face of the missile and the face of the F-35 which of these has the most surface area exposed from the front(not talking about stealth material absorption). Although I do not know if I have bad eyes or if there is any F-35 fan here browsing the sh!t we post. But I have the feeling that the pointy nose cone of the F-35 alone will be the entire front view size of the nose cone of a SRBM with its 1 meter diameter if we are talking about a face to face view only(f-22 .0001m2 was referenced from the front only). I am not even talking about the cockpit, wing, and air intakes since the SRBM from the front absolutely has none of those features(just the face of the nose and fins but that’s about it) adding additional surface area to be reflected. Also regarding your image is that a medium range air to air missile? I refuse to believe that it has a -10 decibel front view if a non-stealth aircraft like the F-16 has a smaller RCS return on its front view. 
“b) As long as jamming work, staying in or outside radar field of view is the same”
yes if EO DAS exceeds the tracking range than what the K-77m has.
“unless DAS detection range is 100 meters, it will detect K-77M ,R-37 long before they can have a glim of F-35”
3.749kms was the tracking range for a .0001m2 target, 50% probability detection is even further than that. Start jamming than that will just make life easier for the missile heading your way unless you detected the missiles presence before the missile detected your presence and launching your decoy. There is something that we both have overlooked and besides EO DAS, RWRs can be used. Most of the K-77Ms guidance trip is done from the SU-57s radar and the missile only receives updates from the SU-57. The missile for the most of its flight would get radar updates from the SU-57 while just using passive guidance for the rest of the flight by not emitting any RF waves to the F-35 than turn its radar on when necessary. The missile can also get passive guidance from the SU-57s RWRs as an additional option. Meaning any added jamming source can be ignored for the missile
“the missile can’t continue to go after F-35 once the decoy actived because the noise level will be too high for the seeker to find a stealth target”
Which is why I said we need stealthflanker or garrya for this. The very small decoy can supress the RF waves of the k-77m but how much will it effect its detection probabality and tracking range?
[USER=”28771″]TR1[/USER]
The biggest wankfest i have saw on another certain aviation forum was SAR comparison. I wish those ROFAR radars were tested since their features is ultrahigh resolution. So i can go back to that aviation forum and say guys do you think our aircrafts have better SAR than this? I probably would get banned which is why i have a passive approach over there than here. However me and moonlight are good since we are also talking about the Su-57s air to air missiles.

In that way an inbound AAM will be be lured away from it’s target by an F-35 that is outside of it’s engagement envelope.”
https://www.globalsecurity.org/milit…ssia/aa-12.htm “The RVV-AE medium-range air-to-air guided missile is designed to engage air targets, such as fighters, bombers, attack aircraft, helicopters, military transports, and cruise missiles, at all aspects against ground and water surface, by day and night, in conditions of enemy electronic countermeasures, including a multichannel “fire-and-forget” mode. The missile is guided with an inertial/radio-corrected navigation system in the initial flight phase, and an active radar homing head in the terminal phase. It is powered with a one-mode solid-fuel rocket engine. “
I know where your going with your explanation by having 2 sources being 2 f-35s confuse the air to air missile. But these missiles have computers on them one example they give is in condition of enemy electronic countermeasures(like jamming) there is a fire and forget mode pretty much saying I will ignore the other source and just go for that source instead.
@moonlight
”
but I can assure you they are referring to the re entry warhead because that when the warhead is tracked.” You can insist on doing so but a missile is a missile and a warhead is a warhead. I assure you that a SRBM in the air in comparison to an F-22 will have a whole lot less surface to reflect from but thanks to stealth material absorption the F-22 was said to have a lower RCS.
“the scan sector is not the size of the radar beam. What you found is the field of view of the radar rather than the beam size.” Same 120 degrees, distance of tracking a low RCS target than using that distance to see how far the radar beam can stretch left to right. That radar view is something you would not want to be in regardless or it will track you however you call it.
“there is no requirement for APG-81 to be at the same level as the decoy because unless the kind of jamming used is a very simple amplify repeater such as on ALE-50 in that case the seeker see another target pop up and can be programmed to hit the first one. But with any other kind of jamming : barrage noise, RGPO, VGPO, Cross eye, cross polarization, cover pulse then the seeker of missile won’t be able to track the location of F-35,”
You have to remember that the missile is considered dual mode. The missile will rely on its own radar than as the next option use passive guidance to find the emitting source….Which is why I am repeating myself a bunch of times already to you is what distance does EO DAS see the missile 1st before the missile sees the F-35. If the F-35 does see the missile before the missile is able to either detect or track its location than sending a decoy with the proposed jamming will be able to fool the missile. If the missile is already in the range of detecting or tracking the F-35 1st before the F-35 can track it with EO DAS “than sends the decoy” the missile will more than likely ignore that decoy and focus intently what it detected or tracked on its radar.
“If the decoy is jamming and F-35 is not jamming, the missile can’t be programmed to go after the non jamming F-35 because it can’t find the non jamming F-35.”
dual mode is a b!tch. However no one knows the actual RCS of the F-35 or if the missile is approaching the sides of the aircraft offering a high RCS return(thus an even farther tracking range than estimated 3.749kms). The missile will go after the non jamming F-35 “only” if its within the missiles own host radar capabilities of either detecting or tracking the F-35.
“We know for sure that EODAS can track K-77M and R-37 from distance notably further than K-77M, R-37 can track F-35 with ECM.”
So whats the range of EO DAS? If the radar of the missile tracks the F-35 it will focus on the F-35, if the F-35 uses EW while the missile tracked it than it will use passive and active homing, if the radar of the missile tracks the F-35 and the F-35 releases a decoy to start jamming it will than just focus on the F-35 because the computer inside the missile is programmed to use fire and forget to just go after the F-35 because the F-35 made itself look very obvious to the missiles radar that it released a decoy and it will just ignore the decoy and go after the F-35………However if EO DAS has a farther detection and tracking range to quickly identify the missile and release the decoy before the missile is able to know its location than it will more than likely go after the decoy. But how far do these decoys go if released?
Do not get me wrong I am not doubting capabilities of the F-35 but there is not just enough information for me to draw a conclusion but I do know that the countermeasures for the F-35 are there if air to air missiles have approached it.
