How about radome ?. I myself tried and got 1.2 x 1.113m (include tilting)-image later if anyone interested- Possible antenna diameter assuming 10 GHz X-band edge treatment is 90 cm in diameter. Possible number of modules that can be fitted is 2827. With half wavelength spacing. and of course im curious about Chinese AESA module capability. 5 watt module would give like 14 Kw of power 10 watt would be 28,2 Kw.

For A2A. none so far.

hmm i wonder if Russia will digitize the Tu-22M3 the same manner as B1.. like putting ability to carry guided bombs. Putting the targeting pod would be one of the fastest option.

Would also love to see Tu-22M3 firing Kalibr.

So the new A-100 will likely be more similar to A-50EI with 3 face AESA. That’s a good development. I wonder if it will also choose L-band, thus simplifying the design a bit by no need to include separate antenna and transmit-receive system for IFF. There could also be E-2D solution of keeping the mechanical rotation But add electronic steering (usual AEW radar only scans electronically in elevation except E-2) Thus when need arise for sector scan, the rotodome can be “stopped” and let the beam scans the sector electronically. The downside is of course there would be no IFF (as the IFF would be installed in the back face of array, similar as typical AEW like E-3)

At least bit of innovation 😀

Not a new thing. like Su-35S adverts which use Arly and Typhoon as enemy. No need to take it very seriously.

Single seat hellduck is interesting.

So, what’s the good value for it ? and in what frequency ? because as we could see RCS is different in frequency even in same aspect angle.

One example from my own concept :

[ATTACH=CONFIG]256747[/ATTACH]

So if i ever think of calculating radar range against say Rafale with following configuration :

-2x External fuel tank
-4x MICA in wingtip and outer pylon
-1x ASMP in fuselage station.

What value of RCS is should use for the radar range equation.

Not a new thing Msphere.. not all writers familiar or actually tracking designations of Russian radars. But yeah Egyptian MiG’s are using family of Zhuk-ME slotted planar array.

Anyway. Im curious what’s the MoD requirement on MiG radar’s. I think 120-160 km should be adequate, but i guess. They want like 250 upwards. Nonetheless The N019 form factor (0.68m) would give enough space for about 1614 modules. Using Taylor weighting factor though, only 1227 would be fully transmitting (rest could be in different mode or fully passive). With estimated range of 269 km vs 3 sqm RCS.
