So with recent revelation of the Kh-59MK2. or what’s look like it from Su-57. Do you guys think the missile would be more in widespread use in VVS’s ?
I see alot of potentials, like say Tu-22M3 upgrade and other aircrafts.
Really?? Indonesia wants to explore buying used T1 Typhoons with their limited capabilities? Why not just buy more Su-35S? Totally puzzling procurement policies.
Welcome to our confusing procurement policy. It’s just a concept tho but still.. kinda shivering. Originally Typhoons were offered, new built with options for assembly in the country. However there was change on requirements which could blow Typhoon’s cost out of proportion, F-15 is a non starter, Gripen wants to fill another squadron and AEW’s. That was supposedly the end of Typhoon here. BUT recently i heard MOD wants to explore second hand O-o which kind of weird.
So there is an initiative in Indonesia to attempt to acquire Typhoon. Thing is i wonder whether it’s availability or due to budget constraints, we are only able to acquire Tranche-1.
and from what i heard these aircraft have rather limited capability (no full A2G modes) and such, but does support meteor. I’m curious if it would be expensive to upgrade or at least bring these aircraft into a good shape, with ability to support standoff missile or guided bombs.
Have it cleared to carry Kh-35 or Kh-31’s ?
280 km striking range for helo doesn’t seem so bad.
the Ametist are still around eh.
So the Tu-160M program is basically a “gap filler” ?
any news on something bigger ? maybe something to replace Sovremenny ?
Heard there are 2 kinds of Ka-52. The “Katran” and “Alligator” The difference being wingtip. Wonder if that true
RIP for Ka-52 pilots. Im curious tho on the state of the ejection seat.

Happy Victory day btw 😀
RIP, Su-30SM just crashed after takeoff in Syria ;w; Both crewmembers died.
Im curious if Russia have similar Underground airbase plan as Chinese :3
and that’s a good Omul pod on Su-25’s.
I heard things however that Gardeniya.. the jammer where omul based on was developed way too quickly which resulted in rather useless piece of equipment.
more and more R-77-1 make a sight. that’s a good sign.
keep it civil guys, please.
need more Gorshkov.
