Inside suspension. So are you saying one of the internal weapons bays? So would that mean 2,600kg(4 missiles) for just one internal weapons bay?

Does it say anything about how many Kh-31s can fit in or if it can fit at all?

but with inter-body placement and smaller size,” according to source is inter-body placement describing fitting the missiles internally.

http://www.deagel.com/Combat-Aircraf…000333002.aspx I looked at the offensive and defensive weapons section below. In terms of speed and size the kh-31pd in terms of length and diameter seem no different, kh-31 says mach 3+ NG says mach 3.5 kh-31 is 50km range less than the NG. Yet I can figure out why the kh-31pd is less than half the weight of the brahmos-NG…

I am assuming the mach 10+ or 2000km range needs a lot of fuel is the reason why the Kinzhal would be more heavy.

I am very shocked this has not been brought up on this forum even though there has been a lot of news coverage about it so here we go in case anyone did not receive the news.

“In accordance with Russia’s State Armament Program for 2018-2027, Su-57 jet fighters will be equipped with hypersonic missiles. The jet fighters will receive missiles with characteristics similar to that of the Kinzhal missiles, but with inter-body placement and smaller size,” the source said.”

I heard that the SU-57 approximately has two internal bays that are both 4.6 meters in length and 1 meter wide. The current kinzhal missile has an 8 meter length with 1 meter diameter. They have downsized a missile before that is similar in size like the PJ-10 or regular brahmos missile now called brahmos-ng.

https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-n…s-defense-show

““However, the Brahmos-NG is still faster than the PJ-10 (Mach 3.5 versus Mach 2.8) and has a longer range (more than 300 km/162 nm versus a maximum 290/157 nm km).

Moreover, the BrahMos-NG will have a newly developed AESA radar seeker in place of the mechanically scanned one on the PJ-10.”

I have heard different sources say the regular brahmos missile was 8.5, 8 or 6.9 meters in length and that the brahmos-ng reduced the length by 3 meters. So estimates have said 5 meters in length and 50cms in diameter making it seem very close to possible or possible fitting both missiles inside for each internal bay.

Mig-31 with Kinzhal

1. Is 1 meter shorter than some average SRBM missile lengths, with mach 10+ within the mach 8-12 range most MRBMs fly at. Basically gives air defense radars a less detection and tracking time because of size.

2. Does not follow a simple trajectory throwing off guidance systems trying to intercept it, while most mobile air defense tests were more than likely against simple trajectory path missiles.

3. has a 2,000km range.

SU-57 with Kinzhal like missile.

1. Retains the same advantages listed above(that’s the goal).

2. Because of the size of both internal weapons bays like the Brahmos-NG 2 kinzhal like missiles can be fired simultaneously, while most mobile air defense systems only planned intercepting MRBM and IRBM targets instead of 2 targets at the same time.

3. Has an even smaller RCS because of size even further reducing the radar detection and tracking time of air defenses.

4. Since it is stored internally, this allows the SU-57 to fly closer to SAMs

If these missiles have become operational is it really safe for me to say without any repercussions that the SU-57 would officially be the greatest aircraft against SAMs?

I was contemplating rather if I should do this or not(it will piss off a certain amount of users here) but I am sure that my questions might make this board explode into possible arguments anyways so here I go. http://qr.ae/TUGSZq

I have heard that using 1-18ghz for AESA T/R modules compared to 8-12ghz you get less noise return in detection. So the question I am aiming for is with a 1-18ghz range can a computer for an aircraft tell the pilot which frequency gave those receivers the highest return? I am very sure you can narrow down your transmitters to a better specific frequency range on where you received the highest noise.

So I am sure that a certain amount of users here are going to say X-band is better at tracking than the lower frequency fire control radars which of course leads me to my 2nd question on that. How far off target is L-band, S-band and C-band in hitting its target? I have made an estimate(my quora answer link) to the possibility of the radar beam azimuth thanks to a certain physicist of how far off target a AESA host radar system of a missile is to track a .0001m2 target on its own at what range and than determining how wide the radar beam of a missile would be than dividing the radar beam by 2 to determine how far off target the missile must be to do the rest of the magic of hitting the target on its own.

Last question. VHF and UHF is good for detection but does anyone have sources of how far off target these frequencies are in hitting their targets without using fire control radars(add the usage of passive sensors as well)?

Got a question since I ran into this source.
http://weaponews.com/news/11884-kret-has-created-a-sample-of-photonic-radar-for-the-aircraft-of-the-6t.html

“Concern radio-electronic technologies (kret) has created an experimental model radiovolnah radar for the fighter 6th generation, which will replace the pak fa (t-50), reports tass deputy general director of the enterprise Vladimir mikheev. According to mikheev, “Progress in developing avionics for the aircraft of the sixth generation is, and in particular in respect to radio-optical photonic antenna array it on a radar locator”. In r & d (research work) on the basis of the experimental sample is constructed and the emitter and the receiver. All of this work, is the location – emitted microwave signal, it is reflected back, we acquired and processed, the resulting radar image of the object. Look at what you need to do to it was optimal, he said in an interview. The deputy director noted that “Now the research is a full-fledged model of this radio-optical photonic antenna array, which will work out the characteristics of a production model”. We understand what it (the radar) must be in any geometric size, on what bands and what power should work, he added. Kret also fulfills the technology specific elements of the new radar its emitter, photonic crystal, foster tract resonators. Serial sample locator do when we move to the stage of experimental design work (okr), for example, by order of the war department, said mikheyev. He explained that “Conventional radar station (radar) radiation is generated by vacuum-tube or semiconductor devices, the efficiency is relatively low – 30-40%”. The remaining 60-70% of the energy is converted into heat. The new radar a radar signal is obtained by converting photonic crystal laser coherent energy in a microwave radiation.

This transmitter efficiency will be not less than 60-70%. That is a big part of laser energy will be converted into a radar, with the result that we can create a radar of high power, said the deputy director. The locator will not be a separate module in the nose of the aircraft, it will be a distributed system. Something similar can be seen today on the fifth generation fighter t-50 radar which operates in different bands and in different directions. In fact it is a single locator, but he exploded on the plane. It turns out about three or four different radars, which are comfortably placed around the fuselage and can simultaneously observe all the space around the aircraft, said mikheyev. Radiophony radar will be able to see, according to our estimates, far beyond the existing radar.”

So let me get this straight transmitter efficiency for conventional radars on aircrafts they say 30-40% by either vacuum tubes or semiconductor devices, transmitter efficiency will not be less than 60-70% because crystal laser energy is converted to microwave radiation. When Mikheev stated this after talking about the transmitter efficiency, “That is a big part of laser energy will be converted into a radar, with the result that we can create a radar of high power.” Is he referring to the amount of power a transmitter module could use? for conventional radar he states 60-70% of the remaining energy is converted to heat. The problem with T/R modules not being fully used to their potential is because of overheating. so if transmitter efficiency for laser energy is 60-70% does that mean they are saying that 30-40%(or lower) is converted to heat energy meaning that T/R modules on aircraft’s could possibly use twice as much power because the problem of overheating has been significantly reduced? There was an indian defense forum I ran into where someone stated that the PAE(Power Added Efficiency) for aircraft X-band radars that if your exceeding 25% PAE you will be overheating your modules. Seen GaAS and GaN X-band T/R modules with 30-40% PAEs…..So is he stating that the PAE will not be less than 60-70% while the rest of the energy is converted to heat?

Also are satellites using the same based technology?

https://sputniknews.com/military/201810021068501835-china-submarine-laser-satellite/

“If successful, the satellite’s laser beam could zero in on a submarine and shoot back pulses to the satellite that would be analyzed to pinpoint the vessel’s location, three-dimensional shape and speed. The beams, used in conjunction with microwave radar technology, would be able to scan areas as wide as roughly 100 kilometers or focus on areas measuring just 1 kilometer.

https://sputniknews.com/science/201806101065288031-laser-cannon-space-debris/

“The proposal drafted by the scientists involves creating “an optic detection system which includes a solid-state laser and a transmit/receive adaptive optical system.”

“If you paid close attention, those claims was said by Jennifer Dyer instead of Israel MoD spokesman.” on the 25th post you seem to have referenced her as well while I did the same(so were you paying attention? I thought we were on the same boat). So you don’t trust Dyer some self proclaimed American Weapon and Middle Eastern expert (I believe they have quoted a retired US Naval Officer saying strikes would be nearly impossible for israel) Got it.
