I don’t think it would necessarily cost a great deal- just use whatever systems the towed decoy is using, and mount it on a UAV with good endurance.

Well, then they’ll make UAVs that emit radar signals and fly more intelligently than a towed decoy.:)

I thought Turkey hasn’t finalized their helicopter requirement yet? At least, iirc, they were leaning towards the Russian offer, but were hoping for a better deal from Bell.

Yes indeed, the Hermes programme has been floating around for a while now but PB’s report is the first concrete news for some time. I wonder who is paying Tula for it? With so few Ka-50s in service the air-launched variant has no real future in Russia…

After some years in the shadows, the Izdeliye 172 resurfaced at the Dubai show last December, on a model of an Su-35. I believe there was a small piece with a photo in Aviation Week a little while ago. The missile was labelled 172S-1 and the *suggestion* is that it’s being funded by an export customer.

We shall see.

The world needs more missiles.

Yellowsun, that is an interesting point that you bring up, since the Russian Army is favoring the Havoc, right? Perhaps a few Ka-50s for the special operations, but nothing to justify the Hermes project it seems.

Potential paying customers are prob. either India or China.

BTW, the export version is downgraded to a range of 300km.

Guidance is inertial + mid-course updates + active seeker in the final phase.

Anyone have more info on the alternative K-37M that the RuAF is going with?

Also, targets include not only AWACS, but “J-STARS platforms, tankers, reconnaissance and electronic-warfare aircraft, cruise missiles, as well as long and medium-range anti-aircraft missiles which pose a threat to the KS-172-armed fighter.” PB, Jane’s Mis. and Rockets, 2/12/04

Oh, I see- it’s more like those boats that the Border Patrol uses for patrolling bayous and such. The type with the light-weight hull, and fan-like propulsion unit in the back.

I think that even if a notar helo lost its tail rotor, it’d still be shot down for lack of stability.

I take it this isn’t the International Association for Pattern Recognition?

So it’s not really a hovercraft either? It appears to be just a very fast boat? But I doubt it would be able to reach 150 mph with so much water drag without hovering?
