Thanks Snake!

BTW, could you describe some basics on “Kolchan”, like, per example, name of the fire control radar (Is Podkat retained?), name of the missile, and if possible, some basic specs, like max number of fire control channels for different targets, and so?, did Kulakov received Kolchan?, Severomorsk?, no idea to implement it on the 1555 surviving fleet?.

Is 9M100 VLS launched R-77?

Have you heard any comment regarding “Vigneta-EM” towed sonar on 20380?, is this a Morfizpribor product isn’t?, how did the russians compare it with CAPTAS-Nano of Thales UWS?

Any comments on the decision of why Lira was encomended to Rubin instead of Morfizpribor?, why to risk so much important project?

Hi Snake65!

Do you manage accurate info related to any Admiral Kuznetsov modernization?, in some spanish forum, there was also this news regarding naval version of “Pantsir”, but I will take your word regarding the qualifications of the above mentioned reporter.

Did the Kulakov received a new BIUS?, or still keeping the old Lesorub-55?

**** the cannon, look to the left :diablo::diablo::diablo::diablo::diablo:

Yes.

SAP-518 is replacement for L-005S Sorbtsiya-S.
SAP-14 for never deployed L-001 Smalta-S.

Both products from KNIRTI.

CNIRTI offers the Omul pods for the same market, and previously the Gardeniya-F1UE pods (used on first Su-27SK)

Sadly there is not a wide radar interceptor market for aircraft on Russia, so CKBA Avtomatika still is the only R&D institution developing or at least offering RWR/ESM systems for Su and MiG aircraft.

OMG!, LOL!

BTW, what are the main differences between Yakhont and BrahMos?…I though it was the inertial platform, but at least, Yakhont (on silo and ground mobile launched version, that’s Bastion) has waypoint (seven) capability, althorough no (AFAIK) land attack capability…don’t know if naval BrahMos have that through…

AFAIK, Granit doesn’t need and doesn’t use MCGU, contrary to P-35 or P-500.

MKRTs Legenda is a targetting asset, but not a MCGU asset.

After sharing with some people from Admiral Chabanenko here at Venezuela, I really doubt some of the reports there, or maybe people on board longe-time deploying ships get a lot better paid (in fact, that’s the true) than people who uses to spend their time on port…

I have to say, they earn better than we do, and we althrough not western europe level in earns, do not live that bad according “russian standards of the video of post 2″…

Off course, that’s my impression on sharing with those people from Admiral Chabanenko, could not reflect for the rest of the fleet.

Distiller,

You fire them on such a time sequence, that once missile “a” needs CWI, missile “b” is on MCGU at say “T-x” before needing it (we could call that time pre-CWI latency), and missile “c” that will use same CWI is some time behind it and so…

Not all the missiles would be need CWI at the same time, there would be CWI slots for each missile on an interception axis (controlled by one, two or X number of CWI)…

Interesting thing with AEGIS/SPY-1 ships is how much MCGU can a SPY-1 mantain?…

With APAR that’s easy, because APAR mantains both functions (MCGU, final interception homing guidance), EMPAR/SAMPSON is similar…

Once SM-6 or ESSM ARH get IOC, that will change, you can put those missiles flying around MCGU from the CEC network, so any ship can handle the MCGU and put the missiles near the interception basket…

Jonesy, according to World Naval Weapons Systems fifth edition, Yakhont is mach 2.0 at sea level (not 2.8), no idea if that corresponds to BrahMos.

And about the jamming vs ARH missiles, I get your point of “too little time before impact”, and also would like to know, what kind of jamming you will need to confuse the MCGU function of the radar…is the MCGU so directional?, if so, giving low sidelobes, you would not need to be between the transmission ship and the receiving missile at all for jamming to work?, similar ECCM (or sort of denomination for this case) I have heard for Gripen’s datalink due to its highly directional nature…
