Additional: Arena weighs about 1.100kg, when active, it requires far infantry tanks to avoid an area of about 30m around safely. Arena System range offers protection around the tank about 50m

Other than the clearly superior instantenious turn performance, Su-27 is mostly comperable with other 4th gen fighters. In overall I would -subjectively- say “Su-27 is the most maneuverable 4th gen (due to numerical comparison), has some decent possibility of being more maneuverable than 4+ gens and 5th gens. (personal mk1 eyeball analysis)”. It has great internal fuel capacity, and its heavy weight means less % drop in performance due to additional payload, i believe it will have edge when fuelled for same range and armed for same mission.

According to you, to evaluate a high maneuverability aircraft, we need to focus on what parameters?

G-limit !
Turn radius !
Climb rate !
Roll rate !
Wing loading !
TWR ?
specs of engines (Max thrust & TWR of engines)

as far as I understand, TWR and wing loading are two parameters that need to be focused, TWR ratio is 0.9-1. And always low wing loading. From TWR (0.9-1 ratio) and low wing loading, we will have an aircraft maneuver

As I understand, Su-30MKK can be used as a mini-AWACS because:

Su-30MKK of Flanker family is the first to be equipped with TKS-2 C3 system, capable of simultaneously mà Commanding and Controlling up to 15 aircraft with vd system, and the air-to-air missiles launched by these aircraft.
According to the developer of the system, JSC Russkaya Avionika, the C3 encrypted two-way communication system can be either commanded or controlled by ground stations, or act as the command / control center for other aircraft.

But it’s pretty low range radar: N001VE range about 100-110km ! For Su-30MKV, Venezuela was declared equipped N001VEP radar improvements 210 km range

The most dangerous missiles in today !

Tomahawk Black IV
3M-54 Klub-S/K/N
Iskander-E/M/K
DF-21A/C/D

Iskander K probably could, it’s really just a cruise missile at the end of the day, and if you really want you can give it mid course correction and terminal guidance to strike at ships. It’ll basically be a Tomahawk Anti Ship Missile, but not offer any drastically new capability.

Iskander M, the ballistic missile variant, probably could be modified to be an AShBM like DF-21D, as long as you give it midcoruse correction and MaRV. But its range is far shorter than DF-21D, whose range has actually be estimated to be anywhere from 1,400km to 2,700 km, so the Iskander M’s 400km range is not very impressive as an anti ship weapon.

as i know Tomahawk can use to anti ship role, with variant TASM ! Russia is possible if you want to increase the range. Iskander M is used for export and limited scope for this

Iskander was used in Georgia-Russia conflict 2008, combat: destroying 28 tanks
Ships like the DDG-51 or Nimitz, speed 56km / h, quite slower than T-72 tanks of Georgian speed of 60km / h, I think the Iskander-K / M completely against to warships

Equating size of production run to level of R&D spending and thus to missile capability is of questionable value.

The team that developed the IRIS-T has been developing advanced IR seekers for more than 30 years under various R&D programmes.

ASRAAM uses a variant of the Raytheon seeker developed for AIM-9X, so has been able to take advantage of US R&D efforts in this area.

I have visited Rafael’s R&D facilities and they are as advanced as any that I have seen.

oh thank ! you come from Military company ?

ALARM (Air-Launched Anti-Radar Missile)

The ALARM (Air-Launched Anti-Radar Missile) is designed to destroy ground-based air defence radars and surface-to-air missile radars, thereby providing support to attack aircraft while penetrating hostile air defences. It does this by homing on to radar transmissions and following them down to their source. It entered service in the early 1990s and proved very effective in the Gulf War. A Tornado GR1 can carry seven ALARMs. One unique feature is the optional capability to loiter over a target area while continuing to search for targets. It provides attack aircraft with an on-board suppression capability which will enable them to press home attacks against heavily defended targets with a high probability of success.

When fired at an enemy radar source, the enemy can often detect the incoming missile and switch off their equipment, thereby depriving the missile of a target. ALARM will ascend to 40,000 feet from where it will deploy a parachute and descending slowly, using its seeker to search for any radiation source. Once the target has been acquired, the missile released the parachute and falls under gravity to the target. One other advantage with this system is that if the target shuts down before the missile has destroyed it, the missile remembers the location and will still hit the target. ALARM also has several direct modes, the an one allowing the missile to be fired directly at the SAM once the emitter has been located.
