    A question to Pit, GarryB, flex and others. When did work on the Zhuk-AE start ? Where is it currently placed on the path to realization of it’s stated brochure parameters ?

    According to the Phazotron material, work on it started in 2000.

    some old quotes on the Mig-35

    [u]”MIG-35 to be More Advanced than Sukhoi-30MKI”[/u]

    The Russians say they can offer the MiG-35 in a Brahmos-like package to India—transfer technology for manufacture within India, and jointly develop the aircraft further and sell it to third countries. “It is a double jump over the Sukhoi deal, so to speak,” said a senior official in Rosoboronexport, Russia’s defence export agency.

    The Sukhoi-30MKI also has thrust vector technology, but is limited to one direction. The technology installed in MiG-35 would allow 360 degree manoeuvrability. And, though the Sukhoi-MKI was developed jointly, there is no provision for joint marketing in the deal.

    -Mr. Sergei Chemezov, Director General, Rosoboronexport State Corporation

    Indian pilots were impressed with the plane and its new technology, but “it all depends on what we ask for in terms of avionics, weaponry and of course service support,” said an IAF test pilot. Conceded Fyodorov, “IAF has very stiff requirements. We are willing to integrate any system, as the user wants it.” MiG officials expect India to ask for Israeli Elta radars, display components from France and weaponry of Russian origin. “We have not frozen the technology specifications,” said Fyodorov.

    confusing stuff …

    Today’s Times of India article reads ::

    The new Su-30MKI, which India would be acquiring by 2009, would be equipped with Ibris active phased radars which will transform the fighters into a dedicated information weapons platforms.

    😮 :confused: 😮

    This is confusing ? :confused: ?

    However, the Su-30MKI’s single biggest tactical advantage, particularly in the BVR fight, is the on-board tactical information data link system (TIDLS) that can connect up to four aircraft in a full two-way link. With a range of 500km and being highly resistant to jamming, the TIDLS’ can display the position, bearing and speed of all four friendly Su-30MKIs in a formation on a tactical information system, including basic status information such as fuel availability and weapons state. When used in the ‘silent attack’ mode, an adversary may be aware that he is being tracked by N-011M radar that is outside BVR-AAM range. He may not be aware that another, closer Su-30MKI is receiving that tracking data and is preparing for a BVR-AAM launch without using its own radar. The N-011M can also operate in an all-passive mode, as a sensitive receiver with high directional accuracy (due to its large antenna). In addition, two N-011Ms can exchange information by the TIDLS and locate hostile targets by triangulation. Usually, three plots (echoes) are needed to track a target in track-while-scan mode. The TIDLS also allows the N-011Ms to share plots — not just tracks — even if none of the Su-30MKIs in a formation gets enough plots on its own to track the target, they may do so collectively. Each radar plot includes pulse-Doppler velocity, which provides the individual aircraft with range-rate data. Using TIDLS, two Su-30MKIs can take simultaneous range-rate readings and thereby determine the target’s track instantly, thereby minimising the need for radar transmission. In electronic warfare (EW) applications, one Su-30MKI can track and engage a target while the wingman simultaneously focuses jamming on the same target, using the N-011M. This makes it very difficult for the target to intercept or jam the N-011M that is tracking him. Another anti-jamming technique already validated by the IAF is for all four N-011M radars to illuminate the same target simultaneously at different frequencies. Come 2009, the Su-30MKI, by then being equipped with the ‘Irbis’ active phased-array radar will be transformed into a dedicated information warfare platform with a redesigned rear cockpit housing a communications-cum-EW specialist. The IAF’s overarching mission is to achieve information dominance and ensure that friendly assets have the best information possible while destroying or jamming the enemy’s information resources.

    Nice stuff!! http://forum.keypublishing.co.uk/images/icons/icon14.gif

    JF-17’s …feel the pain :p

    Irbis is AESA ?

    To co-develop such an LRAAM, a consortium of companies comprising Brazil’s Avibras and South Africa’s DENEL/Kentron along with the Defence Research & Development Organisation (DRDO) and Bharat Dynamics Ltd will soon ink a risk-sharing R&D agreement.

    😮
    That is news to me.

    The M-MRCA tender envisages 90% tech transfer, not 100%. I honestly cannot see things like engine blade metallurgy, AESA T/R module technology, BVRAAM seeker tech, etc being transferred to India.

    The priority for the Russians(or any other bidder for that matter) is making $$$, not increasing India’s tech base.

    1. Mig-25

    Why? Because it was the root cause of the F-15 and F-14 which also lead to the F-16 and F-18 and subsequently the Mig-29 and Su-27, not to mention the Mig-31. Although the Mig-25 was a fairly mediocre aircraft in service (aside from it’s speed) the influence it had on aircraft design because of it’s presence is hard to overstate.

    Couldn’t agree with you more http://forum.keypublishing.co.uk/images/icons/icon14.gif

    What do ya know, the DRDO AEW&C is an AESA after all.

    Yes it is.

    Its also worth adding that LRDE has got its Transmit/Receiver Module’s for Active Phased Array Antenna Patented
