forget the Mig-35 OLS, the Su-30mki OLS has just about the same figures and its hardly new.
What are the angular coverage limits on the OLS-27 and how do they relate to the PIRATE? Are they equal on all functions? Is raw detection range the only metric of interest?
Then, could you point out where the PIRATE has been attempted to be sold as singular fantastic IRST by far unmatched by any other unit? To be a good unit it doesn’t have to be leaps and bounds ahead. Sometimes just matching others and being indigenous suffices.
Err care to point out where exactly in toan’s post you have the words afterburning or non-afterburning? that was an assumption I made using wiki links.
Yup, I picked that up wrong. As for the detection ranges: They all seem very vague, no matter the manufacturer. It always seems like they are tiptoeing around giving away real(istic) performance figures for definite targets.
with such insightful commenting as above what do you expect? I think a rolleyes icon is very apt. :rolleyes: But really, that last post of mine really seems to have gotten your goat.
Sadly not for its content. The tone I indeed found quite irritating though.
Hmm so lets just hope that buyers see through the crap that “those who are doing it really well” are trying to dish out.
I guess potential buyers get better insight into the capabilities than people like us, who largely depend on the Internet, press and other third-parties to gain any kind of insight into matters. I don’t think they need your or mine well-wishing. EF GmbH’s smoke and mirrors should fall pretty quickly once one of the pilots found his way into the cockpit.
