RV is :”Re-entry Vehicle” or the warhead of the missile that re-enter the earth.

So we have like 4 kinds of jammer pod to flanker family eh.. The first would be L005 “Sorbitsya” Next gen would be SAP-518, the L-265 “Tarantul”/Modernized L-175 and behemoth SAP-14.

i wonder if there is any discernable physical differences between the former three.

need side by side comparison between R-77-1 and R-77. all that known so far, the former is 10 cm longer than the latter. but in which part, i don’t know. My assumption tho is the rocket motor.

submarine. with some views on innerworkings. external main ballast tank locations, internal hull tanks location and generic layout of pressure hull

yay, i guess Bars-R can support RVV-BD.

Lots of inaccuracies there, amigo.. Let me correct these..
1. Zhuk-MSE would hardly be equivalent to APG-63(V)1 since the former is a mechanical slotted array radar while the latter is a 1st Gen AESA. You probably mean Zhuk-MSF Sokol PESA, but this has never been flight tested, to my knowledge.
2. I am not aware of Zhuk-MSE having ever been tested on Su-30MK. I have only seen it mounted on the Su-27KUB prototype. I am not even sure if the development has ever been completed..
3. The typical Su-30 upgrade would most likely be N011M BARS but this thing is so heavy that it needs to compensate for the shift of center of gravity.. We are talking different FCS, canards.. resulting in an IAPO Flanker (Su-30MKI/SM). The problem is your air force is stuck with the low-cost Su-30MK2 by KnAAPO..
4. The only possibility that comes into my mind would be a combination of N001VEP backend with Pero PESA array.. I don’t think this config has ever been flight tested, though..
5. RVV-BD has not been integrated with any Flanker, as of yet.. And if it ever will be, then definitely not with KnAAPO Su-30MK2s.. Su-35S is the usual suspect..

1.The AESA is V2 m8. V1 is still MSA.
2.There was Su-30MK3 program, which offered to China with that radar, perhaps a prototype made it but no real deal proceed
3.I really wonder about it, what’s the weight of N001 compared to N011M. We know the latter weigh like 650 Kg but the former i think, not any lighter. I know a myth stated that MKI need canard because of radar, which originated from American Author i recalled but nothing mentioned in Yefim Gordon’s book.
4.There was prototype with PERO, i think it’s already fly
5. yeah more like it’s for SU-35’s.

Quick question, regarding AN/APG-63V3/82 on F-15’s. This AESA radar is supposed to be an “upgrade” option for F-15 by replacing the antenna and provide new beam steering controller, power supply and AESA antenna while retaining APG-63’s original processing hardware.

I’m curious if it also include increase in cooling capacity ?

The original AN/APG-63 have peak power about 5 kW, thus at least 1.25 kW of average power. Original vacuum tube transmitter is usually more efficient compared to solid state (up to like 50% or more) So at least the set would generate 1.25 kW of heat waste with maybe a little more for other equipment in radar bay. Such heat load could allow air cooling to be used.
