Sev:
First Russian AShM missile with datalink capabilities and internal ECM system was Bazalt P-500.
P-700 Granit is just very improved from the early.
🙂
Do you have the “Carrier Killers” article from JED edition in 2003?
Give me a PM if you want it 🙂
P.S: Yakhont also use datalink between 3 missiles in the group 🙂 😀
I think is called Khibiny-M or something like that.
It includes RHWS “Pastel” and L-005S Sorbtsiya ECM pods, plus an unidentified SOJAM ECM pod.
There was one year ago a VERY nice article in Air International by Piotr Butowskiy where he talks about it.
I will see in the next days if I can read it again :p
Hey happy new year everybody here :p
Ogami,
Your info is pretty nice and intriguing, which are your sources?
Aero-performance of the F-16C blocks 40/42, and 50/52 was something always intrigued me, are you saying that there is so much big difference between 50 and 52??
Could you comment something about the MiG-29 and Su-27 in that respect? 😀
Be fine guys!!
Just wait a time.
India is now fully compromised with Glonass, and the russians are getting better budget for space forces in all those years and years to come.
I think we can expect a fully deployed Glonass-M/K constellation by 2010…as good as GPS or Galileo?, don’t know…but at least as good as the current GPS network…
The implications of the indian/russian deal about Glonass are more intersting many could beleive.
KAB-1500TK is a “all the way” guided TV version of the KAB-1500Kr bomb for the Su-24M. Is a very expensive weapon (few Su-24M regiments were equipped with this, same with Kh-59/59M), and its similar in concept to the US’s CWW.
Well
I’m not by any effect a MiG-21Bis expert (know one or two things about), but the neither the Bis nor any other of the old Fishbeds did have a HUD or anything of that sort. What you’re seeing is a “SETKA” image in a collimator in the cockpit sight.
The ARL-SM commands in the Fishbed Bis are shown in a separate pannel just like in the MiG-23M/MF, and that was what I was talking about.
Best Regards
Awesome, great work!
The ARL-SM system’s way of showing data is EXTREMLY similar to that of the MiG-21Bis, in fact only some commands are added. In spite of this I would really like to know if is not possible to use the Vozdukh-1P/PV system’s VP-02/VP-11 subsystems (like with the Bis) instead of the Vozukh-1M’s VP-02M/VP-11 combo…
Again really great work.
BTW, in the page 2 at the buttom are those HUD pics showing different types of jamming representation in the HUD?
For 3£ that book is a truly ganga!
Try with Leskek at ACIG…
Those Scans are very very intersting…in which book did it appear?
A truly awesome and very “open-eyes” answer SK!!!
Keep the good stuff coming!
Its great!
Thanks a lot Aero!!
BTW, which OCR software do you use??
The ones I have can’t work in Russian!!
Again thanks a lot!!
Hi SK.
If my Russian is good the pages that deal with the RLPK-27E’s radar modes and performance in long range air/air combat run from 103-122 but it seems the most important is in 104-106.
Hope I’m good thanks a lot!!.
Marcos
Well I have to say that the last pic (the camo F-18F) is just BEATIFUL, the nicest pic ever released of a Hornet…where it was taken?
Could someone who reads russian (maybe you Sk?) offer us a quick translation of radar modes for BVR combat from the manual?
For WVR they’re pretty visible (Vertical, Optikal, Schlemm and other one i forgot the name)
No chance to really IDed the BVR ones..
Regards
OOhhh boys!!
You will make me cry of of happiness!!!!
This manual is GREAT!!!
And the Spektr system is…AWESOME!!!!
God Bless Russian guys and their declassified manuals!!!
Hell…this is something I have been searching for years!!!!!
Kovy where in this planet did you find a Su-27SK manual!?!?!?!?!
I know its called Spektr, but a Su-27SK manual is!!…
Arthur, I’m very very sure that the very first MiG-31 introduced Intra-flight datalink systems, the ones of the MiG-31B is improved because:
1) It has nearly 4 times the range in air-to-ground networking
2) They can share info not only between a/cs but also to the ground (MiG-31 “a” detects a target and pass it to the other buddyies in the net and to the Rubezh-M station in the ground too, in the Rubezh-M station they can send the info to other a/cs derived in the MiG-31’s datalink info 🙂
MiG-31B could be really used as a sort of “AEW picket”…
Again Kovy, where did you found a Su-27SK manual!?!?!
