OooShinyYou cannot interleave anything between emission and reception of reflected signal because do not know how long the return will be. (or on very pculiar modes). However you can either interleave between modes (but letting the whole process each time you change your mode, or emit at some azimuths receive at all…) or physically divide the antenna between e.g. Emitting and receiving modules etc.
The benefit of stealth shaping and materials. As RCS is already very low, only low power is needed to effectively hide the aircraft’s return. Only a very small number of emitters required to keep to aircrafts return under the noise floor.
OooShinyNumerous reports about the repelled attack in US controlled Kusham area a few days ago are saying more than 200 Syrian militia and Russians killed in the bombing. Reports of Russian deaths are now mounting with some reporting dozens killed.
My prediction over the next few years:
Now that the US has well and truely secured its new permanent enclave in Syria, I predict 3 years before the area contains a major army and airbase and US through its proxy force begins expanding its controlled territory in Syria. This will be accompanied by THAAD systems and IADS.
Russia’s been too busy patting its own back to realise that US has switched approach to regime change and is playing the slow, insidious game Russia tried in Ukraine by taking and expanding territory. US doesn’t need regime change if it just takes the areas of Syria it wants (oil rich areas).
In a few years US will not just have cheap oil by installing a freindly government (plan a) it’ll have free oil by having a directly US controlled government in the oil rich parts of the country.
Russia (after already testing US’s resolve in defending its newly claimed territory and being thoroughly spanked) has no response to the new US strategy. They cannot take areas directly and openly protected by US with force (just not capable). Russian calls for sanctions would prompt hysterical laughing fits in the UN. Unlike Ukraine, Russia can’t pull the NATO trigger at any time to stop the US expansion in its tracks.
Let’s see.
OooShinythat’s why you don’t reply JSR.
Did Russia sell the JSR AI (or A-low-I) bot to the Chinese in the past month or so?
He seems to be pushing the Chinese product almost exclusively now.
OooShinyOuch, looks like Russian mercenaries copped a b…h slap.

OooShinyLOL… On me? And how exactly should such evidence look like so that it satisfies your high standards?
Except it was you who was making a claim about invulnerability, so logically it’s you who’s carrying the burden of a proof. I have already successfully countered this nonsense with the articles about multiple lock-ons, so get prepared for some hard work..
I don’t understand the meaning of this question.
That in no way negates my original claim that Iraqi MiG-25s were able to fly at M2.8.
You are, again, twisting the whole story.. The topic was whether Iranian F-14s have shot down any Iraqi MiG-25s and the documents indicate they have not. End of story. No one claimed they were technically not capable to achieve a Foxbat kill or anything about USAF (WTF!?)
In the book “Iranian F-14 Tomcat Units in Combat” I recall the author (Iranian pilot) covers a number of occurances of Mig-25s being shot down by by his colleagues in F-14s.
Gah, thread necro.
OooShinyTypical incoherent diatribe.
Fruitcake… wait, wrong thread.
At $300 a pop (+ build effort) their $8000 investment in 26 drones has caused a higher cost of damage, has given the US invaluable intel in how Russians will handle swarming, ELINT, and has caused some political damage.
OooShinyIts still FAR away from me or you going a kit or a complete fixed wing drone for 150 Bucks. And we do not know what is inside that body. Its petrol driven for extended range, that is for sure. We don’t know how they make the drop, if its with nearby remote or of this is completly pre-programmed with GPS.
From the looks of the pics. The Wing span was pretty long. It looks like they removed the body and build their own which was larger/bulkier with more volume. But the wings looks like Glassfiber etc.
Its pretty obvious that this is not the average Towelhead AK-47 works.
Wings look like plastic film stretched over balsa wood.
Motor will set you back $30 (though they seem to be using a string trimmer motor, so free), flight controller $30, servo kit $20, gps as low as $15 but they’d want something programmable that can trigger the bomb release servos on arrival at a waypoint, so $100. All available from Chinese gadget web sites.
Gps guidance doesn’t care about distance, the only limitation there is fuel which they’ve obviously tested and calculated.
Overall effort for this would have been a few weeks of testing and tuning then probably 4 hours work per aircraft for 3 or 4 people. Research required to build, around 2 hours of perusing youtube vids.
These attacks are probably just a POC, the Russians should be extremely scared when they upgrade the GPS receivers to different ones with built in INS ($35 from the same Chinese web site) that can’t be hacked with shifting GPS signals and send these drones in meaningful numbers.
US is already predicting this type of warfare (hence laser weapons development). Wonder how much Russians are going to spend to intercept these with missiles for the next decade.
OooShinyIf the Russian does not rotate the S-400 TELs around the airbase positions, then its a pre market target.. which easily can be handed over to any foreward Rebel controlling/launching the Drones. Once airborne they would fly enroute to Target pre flight picked. This from from the usual suspects(C I A, etc).
Just sayin..But yes the hard part is to get close enough to the Airbase before launching those small drones.. which can be done.. obviously.
If they’re not rotating the radars and command centre vehicles then satellite images showing the location of everything can be purchased from numerous web sites with a credit card.
Houses (or streets) from which $150 mini drones (capable of 200kmph at 6 inches off the ground) carrying 5kg payloads can be launched are located only 300m from where the Su-35s are parked. I’m actually really surprised these attacks are only just starting now. Maybe some of the ESM equipment was sent home prematurely (oops) or the US has finally tested the transmission patterns and frequency agility capabilities of Russia’s jamming equipment and has simply countered it.
Either way, pretty embarrassing stuff.
OooShinyF-35 silenced the naysayers at Red Flag 17-1… 21-1 air to air exchange ratio in heavily contested airspace defended by tier 2 representative IADS.
OooShinySu-35 failed to detect latest US stealth aircraft… E-3 Sentry.
US aircraft may need to switch on lights at night in Syria so they can be detected.
OooShinyCorporate powers inside US does not want Russia to succeed in Syria, PEROID!
What the White house says or does at this point concerning Syria is not interesting, nor realistic.And what the heck is deconflicting airspace anyway..?
US have ridden ISIS east of eufreities river already they say, and VKS still keep bombing ISIS targets there.Funny to hear the Corporate media spin on this;
http://edition.cnn.com/2017/12/08/politics/us-russian-aircraft-syria/index.html
No, it was funnier to hear the clumsy, heavy handed Russian propaganda spin actually…
– Su-35 “chased off” an F-22 …. haha
– US protecting ISIS
I’d expect nothing less than to see the posters of your caliber lapping this up.
Funny that the article references a single “rogue F-22” which was flying within close range of bombers. What it failed to mention was the second F-22 that would have invariably been sitting back a few miles out. The Su-35 didn’t spot that one? Oops.
Nice ELINT gathering exercise by the sounds.
Nice! Russian MOD used stills from an iPhone game as evidence of US-ISIS collusion last month 🙂
Has since replaced images with blurry stills of random trucks.

OooShinyLots of re-usable technologies coming out of the program.
– enhanced simulation tests as above will reduce costs of future projects
– mission systems code can be reused
– network architecture and protocols
– internal weapon carriage leads to advances in miniaturisation in weapons and multispectral sensors.
– ALIS reuse is a nobrainer
– the helmet with full 360 view could be a first step in mass production of remotely piloted fighter aircraft in future when satellite network speed is much faster.
What they’re primarily creating is fighter aircraft system software V1.0, not just the F-35.
All the most successful software companies engage in 20 year technology research and development plans. The sooner you start using the technologies for real, the faster they develop.
OooShinyit means that optical tracking is used to position the helmet, like on the Typhoon for ex. It doese nottrack pupils. (btw, there is a law patent issue on inertial tracking with Thales-visionix)
. Possible, but are you positively sure he is not talking about OLED projector? i’m interested in if you have infos. (an it is in development stage)
software improvements look nice, not sexy but very useful (hotas declutter etc.).
Okay they killed evrything at Red Flag. Including AESA equipped fighters?
The oled displays seem to be in testing. In the second video of the series the navy guys discuss its use.
There has been f-15Es at red flag and northern edge.
OooShinyHere is more information about the F-35 hack in Australia, from the BBC News Channel.
Commercial data only.
OooShinyA Russian air strike killed 38 civilians on Wednesday as they tried to cross the Euphrates river to escape fighting in eastern Syria’s Deir Ezzor province, a monitor said.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, based in Britain, said nine children were among those killed as they tried to cross the river aboard rafts, escaping from areas where Russian-backed regime forces are battling the Islamic State group.
