Not only it’s a very slow and clumsy target, but it must be huge on the radar too. Maybe it can be good for civilian purposes, like air control and such? What you guys think. Give it a good radar and stick it into the air where it will be able to be on station for a very long time and provide some good airspace coverage.

The nose of the FC-1 is as big as that of J-10 if not bigger correct me if I am wrong.

BTW any news on the twin seater FC-1?

AFAIR the Su-25UTG is the Carrier Trainer variant of the Su-25UT which itself was a unarmed Su-25UB which was intended to replace L-29s/L-39s. AFAIR There are no plans to upgrade or replace the UTGs anytime soon.

Everyone these days in US arsenal depends on Satellites, from communications, weapons(big one), and just about everything. You knock out those satellite and you knock them blind and disable quite a lot of things.

What would be the best way to destroy those US satellites? Maneuvering ballistic missiles? My knowledge of this topic is rather limited.

Also how effective can GPS jammers be? AFAIR i read somewhere Iraqis tried using those, and the irony is that that the vehicle was knocked out by a JDAM lol.

I have one more question to anyone(or SOC). How does a passive AAM work like the R-27P?

Actually there is a Mig-31 version that’s multirole, and can carry a pretty big variety of A2G weapons, but still not as multirole as the Flanker or Fulcrum series. That is exactly one of the things, these days everyone looks for a multirole platform, and the Flanker and Fulcrum are much better. Not to mention that the Mig-31 is very expensive to buy, very expensive to maintain(much like the Mig-25) and on top of all expensive to run(ex. it’s fuel load is twice as bigger than that of Su-27, which itself has a humongous fuel load)
