S-300SP???
Lol
S-300PS.
And it’s two generations behind current top-of-the-notch S-300 series (S-300PM, S-300PM-2)…so much “wonder weapon” 😮
Then get Su-35UB 😀
Trident, yes, that states the article.
Wanshan, I actually want one of these for myself :D, Our Air Force is searching a similar, just some 10 times bigger 😉
I have heard that “series” Borey will carry 16 silos. Don’t remind the source sadly!.
Edefenseonline my friend, if you read it’s in this same thread, just a pair of pages back ;), article by Michal Fiszer, you, and old timer know who is this friend do you ;)?.
There is a nice article on Mi-28N progress that Austin posted in the missiles section (in one of those mega-thread like Russian PGM/Missiles and so), paid a visit over there…
Thanks SOC, I would be delighted to have the whole Russian Navy thread saved 🙂
I will love to have access to the Russian Navy thread, can I receive the password please?
Some of the Russian Navy discussion per example were really really good…we have lost lots and lots of great contributions by people like RSM55, Neptune, Maxpain to name a few that made that section trully good and different than many others site offered…
In fact some information was exclusive in english forums, and all is gone?, without even an advice to made a backup?.
Can’t comment on the rest…
My god…
My Russian Navy News and Discussion topic is gone!!!! gone!!!!…
Please, somebody did saves this thread?????
I need it 🙁
Later, however, TsKB Geofizyka (Moscow, Russia) developed the Platan targeting pod, with all the electro-optical devices integrated, including a second-generation FLIR sensor and a CCD TV camera, coupled with a laser rangefinder and target illuminator. The Platan pod was successfully tested for integration with Su-34 in 2004.
For Vympel 🙂
Would be lovely to know if the Ethiopian received R-27ER…huge overkill in Rmax1 and Rmax2 over R-27R!
How’s that SOC, without a problem?
Didn’t those Su-27S waste a lot of R-27R just for “a clear miss” :D?
And last to said, this year the Lipetsk Center receives it firsts Fullbacks, I only hope they writte a very nasty and terrible inform on the damn **** MMI interface of the “48” cockpit so the *******s of OAO Sukhoi get at the drawing board again and made a decent “21 century” glass cockpit design and MMI for the toy…
It’s really difficult to understand so much bad “new cockpit design” after the Su-27M experience back in the 90s, and all the advances of the civil avionics designs in Russia (Kronsdadt per example made really nasty and fine toys)…the HUD specially is a POS, and it’s difficult to understand that the Yak-130 receives so much lovely equipment and the Fullback that damn POS!…
Go Lipetskiy!!, burn them on hell!! 🙁
I was thinking that as well- it’s just that I hadn’t heard of a “SAPSAN” pod seperate from “SAPSAN-E”. UOMZ seems to be doing well lately (series version of Mi-28N and all that), and I don’t know who makes “Platan”.
As it is, I don’t know if the enigmatic “Platan” pod even has a FLIR. None of the little I’ve read about it (mostly in reference to how accurate the Su-34 is with it) seems to state it, unless you take the all-weather day/night references to mean that (which is a bit of a stretch, considering the Su-24 could be said to do the same, IIRC).
Just looking at that close-up of the Tu-134Sh- is that bulge on the ventral side just underneath the radome standard on the Tu-134?
My friend, UOMZ is not that “hot” with the Mi-28N program, the “Tor” electro-optical complex is not from them, but from other company that’s on the verge of collapse…and it’s rumored is just an old POS. UMOZ will produce an electro-optical piece for the “Night Hunter” of the “TOES” variation (i guess a navigation aid system), but right now, or at least some months ago, it was just a wooden mockup!…the Almaz radar of the Mi-28N have not been tested yet, and the company that developed it dissapeared some time ago, now the test and R&D burden on the manufacturer plant…I don’t have those good feelings toward the Mi-28N program, and it seems the “sure 50 pre-2010 buys” have been a little stretched…its possible a full “UOMZ” Electro-optical suite will be installed on Mi-28N, but no sure thing is now, right now…
About Tu-134Sh it appeared in the MAKS-2001 show (!) that was a lot time ago…and we have no really serious info it at the time really used the B-004 or other radar…
Su-27IB is an enigmatic aircraft without a doubt 😮 :p
I sincerely doubt you people would find much about Platan and Su-32 radar on open press, while Russians like to promote and show their export items a lot (maybe some users like IAF are not that happy or press the russians to do not do so, ask Harry), they products, and Su-32 enter this category are purely and 100% “for home” and most info is not released.
I have to inform, that KAB-500S integration and evaluations were over last February at 929 GLITS, the bomb was introduced formally on the Su-32 weapons load. Other weapons that will be integrated in the future is the UPAB-1500 glide-bomb.
A pair of new missiles are being developed right now at Tactical Missiles Corporation, the Kh-25MA, a very advanced derivative of the old Kh-25MR, that uses a millimetric wave radar of Phazotron-NIIR called “PSM”, Phazotron is pushing hard at TMC for introducing the seaker and getting the missile ready but the situation is not that clear, one that is a little clear is about the new Kh-25MS, a new “GPS/GLONASS guided” AS-10, that uses the same PSN-2001 multi-channel GPS/GLONASS receptor. Supposedly both missiles would have export versions, and I guess IAF maybe would be interested (I think a “Brimstone-ski” would be nice for the MiG-29 and the Mascot :)…It would be interesting if the IAF have not yet placed a buy order for the KAB-500S-E, because MKB Kompass, the developer of the PSN-2001 said some time ago, that the Su-30MKI Mk3 integration with the bomb is “pretty straight-forward”…Su-30MK2 should be also easy to integrate.
Platan have also be mentioned for the Yak-130 some times ago.
SAPSAN-E at the moment (AFAIK I could be wrong) is just a prototype in testing, and most export users seem to be taking other directions (IAF with Litening-2, RMAF with Thales delivered toys /maybe Damocles/, AlgAF good would know what…)…maybe for little countries like Yemen and so…let give it some time.
I have to said, I’m NOT impressed with the last “Bort 48” cockpit of the Su-27IB, it just looks like a “crash-update” of an old cockpit…damnation, they even uses the same damn SILS-27 or derivative HUD of the Su-27SM and not the new RKPB HUD with UFCP that the MiG-29K of IN will use!…the MFDs also show little resolution (no MFI-68-I5?) and the MMI looks dumb…let the export users go with the best russian kit and the Indian developed Graphic Microprocessor, or directly ask Thales and let them made the magic for you 😀
