main draw back of passive array antenna,you still need large central transmitter and a wave guide,with wave guide mean minus 7db,which means 70% reduction in range.
in AESA,there’s no need for large central transmitter and wave guide to feed to RF into the antenna,result smaller antenna but with greater range.
and if india did choose F-18C or F-16…….
will they allow the Indian AF access to solfware?already there’s a controversial decision by the pentagon not to allow even there allied such as britain or israel access to source code.
about 2 years ago, there’s article about the development of radar technology from Xian research inst.
according to the article the Xian radar technician has tested low power spread spectrum radar .this is consider break through in the development of AESA technology.
logic of Al-queda hitting the pentagon and WTC do justified?
attack against pentagon and WTC cost the US,trillion of dollar.if the attack against serb civilian target was justify by the US, then al-queda can also justify there attack against the US,in there eye,war already exist between US “crusader” against the islamic world.
do the russian ever field equivalent to Javalin/Spike fire and forget ATGM?
some claim that russian has difficulty fabricate IR imaging seeker small and compact enought to be fitted inside small ATGM missile.
thanks for the info,But for turbo popeye to achieve 1500 km range,and to be fitted inside submrine torpedo tube,the entire missile must undergoes massive redesign or even complete different kind of missile.
in plain english,any attack by the US against iranian nuke could radicalised the iraqi shia.pushing iraq into iranian orbit.
ironically , the only man could stand up to iranian ambition is right now being tried for war against humanity!
according to back issue of Chinese magazine ordance Knowledge,Chief engineer connecting with the development ATGM claim they are developing newer light weight new gen. of ATGM to replace the HJ-73 and HJ-8.the former is old design the latter simple to heavy.
the new ATGM will feature top attack capability.
ask about fire and forget missile such as javelin,he stated that the missile will be very expensive.according to him,PLA laid down guide line, that the cost of the missile will not exceed 5000 yuan (I forgot the real figure),
kornet,right..
Russian SADARM sensor fuse used “twin-color” Infran red imaging,possible that the Kornet fire-n-forget variant may adapt similiar sensor.But I am not sure,,even the russian never mention what kind of seeker it use,
where’s the strategic cruise missile?
according to back issue of jane intelligent Review,during the arm limitation talk with then Soviet,soviet acknowledge that there cruise missiles ,unlike the tomahawk cruise missile,do not possess Digital scene matching correlator (DSMAC) ,accracy is limited to 24 meter CEP.good for nuclear attack,poor for pin point accuracy.
since then the russian istesting new gen. of cruise missile,is there any info on this missile,claim to match the accuracy of latest variant of tomahawk.
Do the Russian field any equivalent to Maverick/Infran imaging seeker?
speaking of radar,more than half of 168 and 170 shipborne sensor and communication system are russian origin,but 170 appear to have much more sophisticate and totally unknown EW system,is there any information on complete new EW system?
