Another factor in the SAM vs airplane issue is the ability of modern SAMs to rapidly relocate..

How are they rapidly relocating ? IOW, is this because of some recent technological advancement ? I say this because, most SAMs do not carry enough fuel to change their location, frequently in order to engage the target.

The SU 57 needs some export orders. Without export orders this project is unlikely to survive. It might go down the Mig 35 path. Hardly any country (with the exception of Kazakhstan & Egypt) has placed orders for the Mig -35. Even the F-35 program took off, because the US Government was able to strike export deals with several countries.

Increasingly buyers(especially in Asia-Pacific & Mid East) are getting around financial constraints by raising the money from banks and other off-budget funding sources. So interested buyers might procure the Su 57. But for that it needs to display at the very least the same sophistication of the F-35. Instead what we see is plenty of bolts and other crap sticking out of it. It isn’t stealthy from the front with all of those bolts nor the back with exposed engine casings. Furthermore, currently Russia doesn’t even have any active service GaAS AESA radars.

The Pakistani F-16 was hit by a R-73 missile, according to media sources. Pakistani F-16’s should have on board jammers to jam incoming missiles. Any reason why it failed to jam the R -73?

I would be happy to share you another book which like Paul Zachary’s Tactical and Strategic missile Guidance and M Shyednor’s book on missile guidance. Both which im unable to make use with as it contain heavier amount of maths than

I am not sure which book you are referring to. There are tons of such books at the USAF library apart from libraries owned by DoD & Pentagon. I suspect some books are available in the open but I do not know which book you are referring to.

Everything…Feel free to criticize my spreadsheet. and of course show yours.. I give my source.i want to see how you use it.

Did I ever say that I am here to criticize your work?

Not suddenly shouting “Hey you must be end user to do this blablabla” I found that behavior cancerous and not constructive.

How is calling someone an “end user” be defined as “Cancerous” and ” not constructive”?? An end user in this case refers to a pilot. I thought it was a given, but clearly you did not understand it so you label my post as something condescending? That’s rich.

As far as I understand it the build programme here will be split for hull, propulsion and habitation going to France and all the ‘fighty bits’ going to the US.

Interesting! This means the CMS can very well be from the US. And maybe it will be Open Architecture. IIRC, Boeing managed to integrate Harpoon missiles into German HDW submarines operated by the Indian Navy.
