F-35 simulator article
2007 article on F-35 simulator mission:

Competent assessment of contenders?
Not sure where I got this from but:
16 m + 5.5 m ramp x 4 x 4 m
Any idea on the number of troops and paratroops the C-2 can carry?
PAK-FA is a 5.5 generation fighter
Why?
Acoustic intercept receiver. Automatically detects and classifies torpedoes and sonar types.
Its part of submarine acoustic warfare control system (SAWCS).
oops!:rolleyes:

To say nothing of the B-1A trials, F-111C being the testbed for supersonic SDB drop trials, etc, etc.
R-27AE never entered service. Alamo E is R-27P.
They’ve also dropped a large number of LGB on insurgents, hence the recent US topup.
What aircraft are equipped for refueling from the Il-78MP?
Its only a ‘fully passive intercept’ if the target isn’t fitted with missile approach warning sensors (MAWS).
The ICMS Mk3 EW suite on Greek Mirage 2000-5EGM is credited with the ability to detect and jam AAM/SAM midcourse datalinks. Same ability is credited to IMEWS on UAE Mirage 2000-9.
SPECTRA covered 2-18 GHz (F1) improved to 2-40 GHz (F2).
Praetorian is said to be 100 MHz to 10 GHz (possibly up to 18 GHz) and can detect almost any radar, some radios and AAM midcourse datalinks.
So if Mica IR/EM (or AMRAAM or R-77) is using the midcourse link, modern fighters will detect the link.
TARH missiles such as AMRAAM do not switch the seeker on to very close to the target. Rumours suggest the AMRAAM seeker active switch on range was reduced during early testing to avoid giving the target too much warning.
Came in an Indian news paper “Indian Express” they were comparing Raptor versus PAK-FA and subsonic weapons bay limitation was termed as a limitation of Raptor
And they have always claimed that at F-22 supercruise speeds, AMRAAM range is increased by 50%.
I read in one of the artice today that F-22 internal weapon bay cannot be used at supersonic speed and that F-22 needs to turn to subsonic to release weapons from internal bay , is this true ?
Initially it was limited to subsonic JDAM drops (2005), which were later cleared for supersonic drops (2007).
Were did you read the article?
