The system seems to have started life as a weapon to protect fixed targets, but evolved into a mobile system intended to cope with tactical threats. Its target set now includes cruise and anti-radiation missiles, UAVs, precision-guided weapons and even moving ground targets.

But like all mobile SAM systems, it will itself be a high-priority target for attack, so may have to spend a lot of time and ammo/missiles in self-defence.

There’s no way to find this thing at range. If you are close enough to use SAR, you’re probably long dead – so – that’s mutually exclusive 😉

Shove in some TOR-M2s and friendly AWACS, EWLRS and fighter support – and you’ve got a hell of a defense.

😎

Lol, that is totally wrong, the blocked is far higher than that.

Why? I couldn’t care less about PAK-FA (it’s turned out to be even less than I expected) and the Russian tanker thing is pure comedy. Now if you want me to burst a blood vessel just start talking about Zero. 😉

What would you know about what the PAK-FA turned out to be anyway? :rolleyes:

I doubt it so, western countries have traditionally superior A2G sensors even targeting pods. There is a reason why Su 34 uses Democles.

Its unlikely that the PAK FA will have an EOTS equivalent.

What the hell does it need any of that for?

For known, stationary targets likely to be hit during Day 1, GLONASS or TV guided bombs will do the job. Guidance for those is no issue.

The Su-34 uses an on board UOMZ targeting system too, which is home made.

That’s a fair observation. From what i’ve read abd seen on video of the F-35, it probably has the edge in terms of its on-board sensors.

The Russians seems to think that 1 seat is enough.

Udaloy’s arent armed with Shtil, they are armed with Klinok or “garbage.”

So TOR is garbage eh? Gotta take it easy on the drugs, buddy.

22350 will have 9M96

Where’s the evidence of this?!

All things online point to the naval BUK-M “Uragan”

Not really. IF (big if, since it’s not a navy project) ever built, it would likely mix 5×8 (40) long range sam with 1 x 32 medium range SAM, which is similar to contemporary westen large frigates and destroyers. 2×8 SSM isn’t shocking (compare SK Arleigh Burke variant). Carriage of Skval makes no sense on this ship and is likely BS.

Harpoon is treated with a 1/2 ratio to a Klub or especially a Yakhont type missile. 😉

And what is “not a navy project” supposed to mean?

This ship was announced in Summer 2009.
