paralayI had one a few questions:
Why USAF in November 9, do not use the AWACS, to detect 2 planes hijacked left after 2 planes crashing into the Twin Towers…
US Air Force have to fight with the CIA? Ridiculously

paralayIn the nineties of upgraded MiG-31 (type 01) to the level of the MiG-31B (type 12), the aircraft received the name of MiG-31BS. MiG-31B and MiG-31DZ have refueling boom. MiG-31 and MiG-31BS – no.
Works ended the modernization of MiG-31B in the MiG-31BM. It began modernization of older MiG-31DZ and MiG-31BS in the MiG-31BSM

paralaytakeoff weight of 8 P-37 + 2 tank: 51500 kg – 200 kg (pilots) – 17,600 kg (fuel) – 5000 kg (tanks) – 4800 (8 P-37) = 23900 kg (empty weight)
45900 kg (normal weight) – 23900 (empty weight) – 200 kg (pilots) – 17,600 kg (fuel) = 4200 kg (6 P-37 + 4 F-73 pylons with 4 x 40 kg)
External fuel tanks for the MiG-31 – the original.
paralay600 Kg for Weapon ?
Even a A2A load of 4x RVV-SD and 4xRVV-MD would be ~ 1200 Kg , Twice that of Normal Load
Austin, you visit the topic Thread: Russia moving tac air troops to Syria?
With a combat load fly the Su-34? Let me remind you, the maximum combat load of Su-34 – 12500 kg. Normal load 3000 – 4500 kg 😉
paralayparalayFlying with a maximum combat load – trick for the buyer.
Planes fly to the “normal combat load.” Normal load – 5% of the maximum take-off weight. Maximum combat load – 26% of the maximum take-off weight.
Normal load the MiG-35 600 – 1200 kg.
17500 kg – 12100 (empty weight) – 4800 kg (fuel) = 600 kg (weapons)
With a combat load, it is possible to suspend further 1 PTB-2000 and 2 PTB-1150.
12100 (empty weight) + 4800 kg (fuel) + 600 kg (weapons) + 2000 kg + 2*1150 kg = 21800 kg
paralayMiG-35 or MiG-29K / KUB:
without tank – 2000 km
1 x 2000 liters. – 2600 km
2 x 1150 liters. – 2700 km
3 of the tank – 3300 km
4 of the tank – 3400 km
5 tanks – 4000 km

paralaySeveral years ago, the new Tu-160 from the Soviet reserve was built.
MiG-29K/KUB will be on the carrier, Su-33 will be ground based fighter to protect Kola peninsula and Arctic region. It will have sense to modernize them with N001VEP radar to give them anti-ship capabilities, which MiG-31BM doesn’t have. They both will protect the gate between Murmansk and Franz Joseph islands.
For this there is the Su-34 😉
paralayIn many factories remained unfinished planes. Now they will finish. Requires free up space for new projects.

paralayThere you go again with your side view angles. You do realize that the F-22’s intake (and the T-50’s, for that matter) is swept in 3 axes. So your 2D theta-beta-M oblique shock relations aren’t accurate. And even then, you didn’t even measure angle of the free stream with respect to the cowl lip?
I do not think it matters. As it does not matter the actual sweep of the vertical stabilizer

paralayFriends, you are given as an example “light fighter” (Mirage F1, Tejas, JAS-39, JF-17, F-16). A T-50 – heavy fighter 😉
