Latest ROFAR update and Questions for everyone.

It seems this is Russia’s claimed experimental photon radar. http://newsland.com/community/8211/content/v-rossii-poiavilsia-novyi-tip-radiolokatora-s-elementami-radiofotonnykh-tekhnologii/6557693 https://www.qrz.ru/news/15309.html

At the scientific and technical council in JSC NPK NIIDAR, which is a part of JSC RTI, announced the creation of the first experimental locator with elements of radiophotonic technologies. The scientific and technical council at NIIDAR, in which scientists and designers from Planet Design Bureau, MEPhI, Modul Scientific and Technical Center and other enterprises participated, reviewed the first use in our country of new radiophotonic technologies and components in the experimental radar station created.
This is the first model of an existing experimental locator using radiophoton technologies. Experts have successfully conducted field tests of its components and the entire sample to detect and accompany the air target. In the framework of works on radiophotonics, an ultra-wideband phased antenna array based on radiophotonic elements using optical data transmission lines, a multichannel X-band input analog ultrawideband microwave signal to an optical waveform, an optical diagrammer, and an optical ultra-wideband heterodyne were created.

“We confirmed the possibility of using radiophotonic technologies in radar using discrete elements. The experimental model we created so far has a lot of shortcomings and limitations in application, but the positive result allows us to move on to the next phase of development of radiophotonic technologies, – said Maxim Kuzyuk, General Director of AO RTI, – we need to start developing and developing promising technologies and, in particular, photonic integrated circuits, they can compete with electronic products operating in different ranges of radio waves – in millimeter and centimeter, in when extra bandwidth and high resistance to external electromagnetic effects are required. “

I have counted 960 T/R modules. Now not to get everyone’s hopes up but is that a legit experimental ROFAR radar? Or is it like some fga-35 or fga-50 radar because the flat planar appearance looks very identical and the t/r module count on my opinion seems way too low in comparison to be on a su-35 or su-57. But looking through fga-35 or fga-50 radars I think this radar is a legit ROFAR radar because of its appearance and the way its modules are arranged. Can anyone super zoom or have any images online that show what the description says on the lower left side of the radar with the KRET emblem?

My latest quora answer link in which I see some ways the Su-57 or Mig-41 can be used with ROFAR for anyone interested. https://qr.ae/TW8N6w

then t/w of 11.3, so similar to F-135 then”

Why are we comparing the t/w of this engine to the F-135? I am sure that VTOL needs a lot of thrust to take of vertically than an aircraft that has to use a runway. If that t/w was correct wouldn’t the F-35 easily outrun the SR-71 and even the claims of mach 4 with the mig-41? What measurements did you take to get t/w of 11.3? Wikipedia is telling me this for the F-35 regarding t/w.

and for the SU-57 its telling me this.

Did I miss anything?

“Both the emitter and the receiver have been built on the basis of the experimental prototype as part of the R&D work. All this works and performs the location – 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.

Lets say there is a target 100kms away. Can someone tell me the accuracy of how far off target would VHF, UHF, L-band or S-band would be in comparison to X-band guidance? I am experimenting with stealthflankers radar calculator using the 64 t/r modules of the k-77m with estimated power for each module in determining the width of the radar beam of what targets it can engage at certain distances for my own curiosity. Any feedback on this would be much appreciated.

“Dude, why the aggression”

Where? You seem to constantly be mentioning me on this board and the Pakistan board. You seem to have more posts than I do since the creation of your account being brand new. No one here is bad talking Pakistan.

So does Pakistan have evidence for claiming to down an su-30?

“that’s a pretty low bar.“

Easy with the damage control. I was just asking if the lawyer, father, and son were legitimate people

Just an image update of the aim-120C. Not to piss anyone off.

“Wow! FIRST TIME in the world — Mig-21 shoots down an F-16! Great job Indian Air Force!” Air Vice Marshal Manmohan Bahadur tweeted, adding “Someone just asked me — if a MiG-21 has shot down an F-16, what happens to their bid for the IAF mega 114 fighter contract?”

So will this also effect India’s contracts with Lockheed Martin if India has this point of view?

Do not know if this is old info http://www.deagel.com/news/BAE-Systems-Updating-F-35-Electronic-Warfare-System_n000018675.aspx as the title says upgrades will be made on the an/asq-239.
