@Geogen,
no about that. EODAS is a great system, the most interesting one for me on the F-35, though the aircraft features so much. Wrt sensors the F-35 set new standards. The next step might be a conformal AESA array system spread around the airframe to provide full coverage and act as threat detection, warning and jamming system. It could usefully complement an EODAS like system by providing more detailed information about selected IR contacts.

Makes you wonder 6.25 % from what…:diablo:

Doesn’t look like the T-50 is fully painted in that image. Perhaps a kind of primer, but not the final paint.

There’s a big difference between the field of view of an IRST, and DAS.

The argument put forward, particularly by posters with an US centric view was that without zoom an IRST won’t achieve any meaningful range. I ever argued that the IR technology today is much more sensitive and that you don’t need to zoom in to achieve long ranges and subsequently don’t necessarily need cueing. And IIRC you were one of many who argued that way as long as no US fighter was fitted with such a system.

Do the brain deads get paid these days for joining the forums or was there a ban wave elsewhere?

@haavarla,
are you sure about the T-50-0? I have seen a few sources indicating that the aircraft was moved to Zhukowski on 29 October 2009.

Have reread it and the article says “experts say there exist aircraft with such a rate (1 aircraft per 10000 h)”. Overread it to quick, it’s not linked to the Eurofighter as such. My fault

Correct me if I’m wrong Otaku, but doesn’t that article state maximum speed for Su-35 to be 2600 km/h? Wasn’t the official figure till now somewhere around M2.25/2400 km/h?

Yes it was and most likely still is. Wouldn’t be the first article spreading inaccurate information.
