:rolleyes: That would explain all those AWACS aircraft flying before there was such a thing as “quick talk” and JTDS huh? I suppose it’s usless if it isn’t an AESA radar too?

article about new IRST for fighter aircraft,call “Hong Kwang-1” according to the translation ,Chinese IRST developed by changhong is a consider 4th gen.
IRST compatible to US and European version, superior to Russian version.
no technical detail is release.

according to last year issue of air international, russian claim that Indian AF SU-30mkk are slightly superior over the Chinese SU-30mkk,the Indian SU-30mkk radar system possess better target discrimination and carry some extra mode which is absent on Chinese version,aside from the radar other such as advance communication system such as encrypted SATCOM system. and ECM system may slightly downgrade.

So the Kirov had a low RCS…? 😐

It was feature in IDR 1986 issue, Norwegian martime surveillance aircraft discover Kirov RCS compatible to small patrol boat.the ship was also track by the RAF with the same result.

why the sad icon. Agni-I was way better and lot cheaper/safer/faster to operate. A Agni-1 regiment can carry far more missiles with less vehicles than prithvi. so its inevitably going to take over.

ofcourse 800kms is a big range and they ought to fashion a cheaper micro-Agni with 200km range in dual boxed launchers (ATACMS style) for deep strikes in rear of battle area.

to save time and money,it will much wiser for the indian to ask the russian for assistant or liscense built,Russian battlefield missile such SS-21 or SS-24 were far superior than Agni-1.

Dear Member,

That should have been the first clue to us members who have covered military affairs for over 20 years (I have written two articles on ASM one on the Otomat and the other on Sea Skua). The C-801-802 ASM are in the Exocet and Harpoon class. Remember what the Exocet did to larger British warships in the Falklands and the USS Stark in the Persian Gulf. I mean even if it did not sink a much smaller corvette it should have killed a large number of the crew and left the ship burning like hell.

correct me,something like 16 USN crews were killed when C. perry class frigate was hit by iraqi exocet missiles.during naval exercise in the aegean sea between turkish navy and USN,sinle sea sparrow (with 88 lbs of warhead) accidentaly struck the turkish destroyer resulting something like 12 death ,with the entire captain bridge damage.
Most of Israel death were crew standing at helicopter deck

1. UAVs, including converted J-7 and J-5.

2. Q5Ds

2. J8A

4. J8IIs on a Chinese aviation mag

it could target drone,the old soviet also converted there MIG15/17/19 into target drone,same for the USAF turning F-4 into drone.

Off the Lebanon coast, a modern Israeli war-ship (70 crew, 85metre long), has been hit & damaged by anti-ship missiles fired by the
Hisbollah militants.

Israeli military sources confirmed the hit & said the missiles were
supplied to the Hisbollah by Iran. The Israeli source said the
anti-ship missiles were manufactured in Iran but based on Chinese
technology. The Israeli further alleged that there are some 100
Iranians military personels serving in Lebanon & operating the
anti-ship missiles on behalf of Hisbollah (allegation but no proof yet of Iranian presence in Lebanon).

Can someone speculate what this class of anti-ship missiles is??
We know all modern Israeli warships are well-armed & protected
with sea-borne Barak anti-aircraft/ anti-missile missiles (10Km range).
The Israeli are also conversant with RAM missiles technology for
naval vessels protection. Therefore, whatever get through the
Israeli ship defensive protection systems must be damn good &
very modern itself.
Can someone speculate what type of anti-ship missiles China has
that can do this??

Report two ship was struck,one egyptian freighter was also hit,damage inflicted on israel ship indicate small missile.
on the other hand the long range rocket that struck Haifa was iranian MLRS ,with 60km range,janes report that technology may come north korea.
