RALLThis is cool, I don’t know if it was known until now: apparently the 101KS-O DIRCM turrets on the Su-57 also have IR surveillance function, similar to the frontal IRST (101KS-V)

It would makes sense that they would form some kind of DAS supplementing the 101KS-U apertures instead of having a very narrow FoV, anybody has any info on that?
Why do you think this? on this attached picture only tell it is a Dircm, do not talk nothing about any Irst funtionality.
RALLA question, is there some information about the range of the radar seeker of a typical air to air medium missile type Amraam or r77??
Ok i found it, R77 seeker rcs 5 m2 around 16 kms range.
I have interest now about Missiles of SAMs
RALLNot sure, but F-35s that travel overseas have been posting >80%.
Then, low rate MC around 50% is problem from first lrip´s with older software…
RALLMC Rates, parts, and availability are all tied to the early LRIP F-35s. Thank God they will all be upgraded to Block 3F by September of next year.
Which is the MC rate of the last Lrip lots with the 3f software?
RALLSi l’on ajoute tous les coûts de fonctionnement ( solde des pilotes…), l’heure de vol d’un Rafale serait de 27.000 euros, selon la loi de finances 2013.

Kfir, the most elegant airplane. Beautiful bird.
RALL[USER=”76365″]RALL[/USER] – Yes, the FGFA – as the program was defined – is almost certainly dead. But the biggest reason why that is so is because the Indians scoped it as a two seater. They did this because, historically, they’ve had success with it. But past success really isn’t a good reason to keep doing something. I mean, armies have historically had great success with chariots too…but you would never use them on a battlefield now.
If you look at the information technology aspect of where all the 5th and 6th gen programs are going, it is all about sensor fusion, pilot assistance, battlespace management and networking – and expanding this on to UAV helpers. The goal is to use the greater processing power to assist the pilot as the weapons officer would have in the past. The goal is to put less people in the line of fire and to give the pilot the ability to have the necessary (and sorted, prioritized) information necessary so that when he does goes in the line of fire he can do so with minimal risk. Having a second man in the cockpit is both retro and useless.
Give the Indian military a while longer to watch the other programs while working with the Rafale and they will head down the same path. The Russians likely knew the two seater concept was a mistake from the start. I mean, they never really tried to woo the Indian military by flying a two seater.
But in the near future, India has to do one of two things – go with a Su-57 variant (a single seater) or solidly lock in a partnership deal to develop AMCA fast. It’s not going to take China more than a few years to solve its engine woes well enough to fight test and field Ws-15. If they do neither, they will lose a lot of power projection capability in SE Asia.
Yes, and i read some days ago some chief of the J-31 program telling all is going well about schedules plan. So it will soon be a real threat to Su-57’s exports.
RALLYeah, we can all debate the flavor here, but in the end it is a moot point.
India will at some point procure this thing(Su-57).
Yes, i am agree, really its no other option for India on the table on short place. They can not buy chineses (J-31 export) products for obvious reason, and F-35 will be not sell to India for obvious reasons too (they will have S-400), so i do not see other option than in 5-10 years make some order for Su-57 with same way than Su-30 orders, with some indian specifications, avionics,..
I read some days ago India was interesed for the franco-german -spanish FCAS, but o think it is only rumours because it is a far proyect on this stage and India will need airplanes early.
RALLsome new CG from Dassaulty.
its as if F-101 and Lockmart had a baby

I dont think wings will be on final model as this picture.
RALLam watching G20 summit right now
Donald Trump says he will not withhold sanctions and stuff
so Turkey can get both its F-35s and S-400 Missiles

And F-22 too.:stupid:
RALLKnAAPO has been delivering more than 10 Su-35 per year at ease, I dont think this order would be a challenge at all. In fact the Su-57 has way less pieces than the Su-35, so it should be faster to manufacture.
About the further orders, well, officials just keep saying it will substitute the Flanker and will be produced and updated for the next decades, so the only logical outcome is that they keep ordering them at a somehow similar pace when this order is completed, as they do for their other fighters.
About India, again, they did not withdraw, at least officially, just put the program in stand by, and they admitted they may restart it later or simply buy off-the-shelf.
Indian program FGFA was cancelled; telling that the program is frozen or it is on stand by is a gentle way to say the same thing.
RALLBriliant design.
RALLNo he did not. He said nothing of the sort.
I have repeatedly corrected this claim.
Are you being purposefully obtuse, or lying?
Really i remenbered that i have read it, but i could not find the exact source, now casuality did that looking other things in all documents i have on computer i found it, so you can see i was not lying. The source is from Piotr Butowski, and he talk about what Borisov told. Just like i told. My memory was correct.

Of course, i think Borisov lied, but not me.

“Some people tell is not important these things, but on this level all is very important. Everybody can reduce RCS from 20 m2 to 1 m2 in a easy way, but reduce RCS from 0,1 to 0,0001 m2 is other diferent thing…”
https://findpatent.ru/patent/250/2502643.html
“The EPR of the aircraft consists of the EPR of the following components: a glider; power plant; optical and antenna systems of the onboard equipment complex; outboard and in-flight equipment.
The magnitude of the EPR airframe and power plant is determined by three factors:
– the form of the theoretical contours and layout of the airframe, including the air intake and air duct;
– the design of airframe units, technological and operational joints of casings, flaps, hatches and the joints between the movable and fixed parts of the airframe of the aircraft;
– using radar absorbing and shielding materials and coatings.”
I think RCS measurements done in the US are different from their EPR measurements. People at this rate are going to call you scooter number 2 if you keep on saying their measurements are the same as their measurements. Find me a source of an F-22 and F-35 having these following features measured on the patent. If you cant I would postpone on this board from trying to compare RCS values because I am sure you, me and everybody else on this board has no idea what measurement the US took to account for an RCS of .0001m2 from the front, what radar beam angle was taken, etc, etc.. As LMFS stated there were some values of the SU-57 being measured at -30 to -40 decibels and I am sure a nice sale’s pitch like we have obtained -40 decibels from the front would sell well. If you got billion of dollars of a radar echo chamber and got both SU-57s and F-22s in there than please tell us what those values are. At this rate it is already pointless to further discuss this subject.
You can disagree with their EPR values of the F-22 being more stealthy than the SU-57, but as long as you agree that their EPR values are different from RCS values the US takes than we are good. Enjoy your day I am already done with talking about stealth.
I am sure SU-57 have -40 or -50 decibels or lower in some specific angle, but it does not need to be a VLO airplane. the important is the average, the most common valor.

Some day we will know more or less exact number, only we need wait. From F-22 and F-35 we knew it, so it will happend too with Su-57 or J-20
Good weekend too.;)
RALLNot all. Despite your rantings. -(pretentious ignorant)
Do any of you muricans realize that ANY F-teen are considered as fresh meat by ANY eurocanards (not to talk as the not so awesome F-22)
For god’s sake, leave your basement and ask to pilots!
It does not matter, and of course F-35 had some dogfights against F-15C with Aesa radars, not as you stupidly told. USA just now is near of 2 decades ago started to install Aesa radars in its fighters fleet.
