DFRM works by injecting memorized transmitter waveform into the large sidelobes of older radar systems. This “fills the sky” with false targets for older systems.
Sidelobes are minimal for new radar systems.

Your description is much closer to a simple noise jamming rather than DRFM.
Well.. is DRFM a new form of jamming technique ?
Looking from what it stands (Digital Radio Frequency Memory) It’s more like part of the ESM… So it samples enemy radar signal.. in much better fidelity than older technique Thus allow self protection or Standoff jammer to emit better “replica” of enemy radar signal. Thus it might be more difficult to distinguish from real signal at the radar’s side.
As far as i know.. jamming techniques haven’t evolved much.. counter monopulse technique such as Cross eye and some deception modes like gate stealting (RGPO or VGPO) are still pretty much valid technique and so on repeater jammer (smart noise etc)
what kind of “innovation” you suggest ?
me however think of something like this :3

Aircraft mode.
Helicopter mode for VTOL’ing.
Store mode
Any confirmation aside from 1 pic?
Great if true.
Still from the realm of twitter and facebook unfortunately.

Well TR1.

here comes Mi-28.
US replenishing the stockpiles Russia destroyed in the last days.
Russia should bomb these locations. Stingers on the way to endanger russian pilots.
According to your news.. they’re dropped in Hasakah province, meaning that it’s the Kurds who will get it. and so far Russian bombings didn’t touch Kurdish territory (YPG)
Nonetheless, recently The kurds apparently engaged in Alliance with Syrian rebels that being bombed..forming “Democratic Force of Syria”.

Any truth? Suspect not at the moment.

well.. just wait for wreckage photo to emerge.
However, I do expect that at some point there will be submarine-launched cruise missile strike. Are 971’s Kalibr-capable?
looks that way. The 971 already capable of firing 3K-10 Granat, also made by Novator.
Only you are talking about a radiometer (n) – everyone else is talking about radiometric (adj.) [waveform].
You clearly have serious problem in understanding and not answering my question at all.
-Problematic understanding of resolution-
Good God. Do you really understand the means of Resolution ?
Long story short.. It is not whatever that paper you linked said.
Plus we are talking about ACTIVE mmwave seeker.
If you’re talking about radiometer then why you link IEEE paper which talks about ISAR ?
That would be a ground-breaking capability that not even the mighty AN/ALR-94, SPECTRA etc posses – and hence I think it highly unlikely for the L-150-16M. The L-150-35 on the Su-35S is a more complex and sophisticated piece of kit analogous to the AN/ALR-94, and even it uses Irbis in interferometer LPI mode to target active radar guided missiles.
The next generation AAMs will switch to Ka-band (MMW radar seekers) affording very high resolution for anti-stealth:
AGAT’s Ka-band MMW seeker (centre):
I don’t see correlation between resolution and counter stealth.
Your paper basically describe seeker with target recognition and imaging capability, basically ISAR (Inverse Synthetic Aperture) Where it can form target imagery for recognition. This will benefit from fine resolution of the smaller wavelength.
Another incentive of moving to high frequency is more compact seeker. Like that AGAT seekers you posted.. which also sports those spiral passive interferometer antenna.
Anyway i uploaded the full paper for reading :3
Also, the guy posted some interesting flight hours for legacy birds:

For those Su-27s delivered in 1990/91, the total flight hours accrued by 2011 was anywhere from 650-900 hours.

More here. Don’t feel like translating every entry, ask if anyone has specific question. Some of the latter has big variation in flight hours- from 600- 1200 – 1500.
wow. still “young”
Thanks for sharing.

Anyway i wonder if Russia ever do some form of “SLEP” or Service Life Extension Program like western fighters.
I don’t think you will get answers to these questions here. IMO you should try a Russian [language] forum like Balancer.
i wish i can speak Russian :s
Thanks for the opinions fellas. For now though i conclude the SM would still use AL-31FP.
Another question… i know it’s kinda old but.. does it true that VVS never purchase R-77 ?
