    Sorry Srbin, but you are misinterpreting the picture you posted.
    If you look at the original here http://www.yak.ru/ENG/PROD/new_130m.php you’ll notice it says ‘upgrating volume in %’ at the bottom of the page. Thus 60% for the UCAV means it will get 60% percent new components and use 40% existing components from the Yak-130 trainer. Similary the striker and jammer will use 15% new components and 85% components from the base design etc. How far in development each variant is isn’t told anywhere.

    what about the K-30 (new short range missile, replacement for the R-73M, with dynamic gas control) any pictures? specs? news?

    This is what I have been able to gather about the K-30:

    K-30 (Idzeliye 611)
    Developer: Vympel
    Length: 3 m
    Diameter: 0.17 m
    Wingspan: 0.27 m
    Launch weight: 105-110 kg
    Maximum range: 35 km
    Propulsion: Solid-propellant rocket
    Guidance: Imaging IR
    The K-30 was designed as a close-range AAM for the MFI fighter project. Production was originally scheduled for 1997. Similar configuration to the French MICA, with four tail fins and a gimballed rocket nozzle that reduces thrust losses during vectoring. Imaging IR seeker and control systems designed in the Ukraine. A variant with passive radar homing was also planned.

    OK, I’ve updated the SS-N-14, SS-N-15 and SS-N-16 sections on my site.

    Now, if I just could get myself to update the SLBM info…

    I’ll update the SS-N-15 and SS-N-16 descriptions on my site ASAP as I get all the info posted here and at ACIG sorted out.

    Never mind, I didn’t mean to sound too harsh. Thanks for the Jane’s info. 🙂

    That’s my site. Yes, the books are veeery old, especially considering that we’re speaking of Soviet equipment. However, they aren’t the only sources I’ve used – I’ve also used several web sites I have considered reliable.
    However – and this is important – I must admit that I haven’t updated the info on certain missiles, namely the ASW and SLBM ones, for a long time. So if you really want to find answers about the SS-N-15 and SS-N-16, go elsewhere. If you find something I could use it to update my site also.
    Please see also the other sections of my site – I consider them fairly accurate in general. What do you think?

    Interesting to see that my site has apparently been pirated into Spanish…

    Some of us don’t create a new nickname for every forum. 😀
    Mounted outward, horizontally. That’s apparently how the Pr.667AT got its NATO designation – there’s a ‘notch’ in the mid-fuselage where the missile launch tubes are located.
    You could try a Google search for pictures.

    I found it back, the S-10 Sub-launched Granat was tested from two Yankee-Notch class submarines, instead of the SLBMs. I suppose that was VLS…

    No, the Pr.667AT ‘Yankee-Notch’ did not have VLS, but basically eight additional torpedo tubes mid-fuselage for 32 S-10 Granat missiles.
    And actually seven submarines were rebuilt to Pr.667AT, not just two.

    Not a big deal.. Finnish F/A-18C/Ds were also bartered for godonlyknowshowmany trillions tons of conserved fish..

    Why does this lie keep popping up? Finland paid for its F-18s 100% with hard currency.
    Finland doesn’t even produce conserved fish in any meaningful amounts. :rolleyes:
    Please get you facts straight, flex.

    Aerospacetech is correct. Arthur’s image is the GELA that is probably associated with the Kh-90 missile. It was a later project than the Meteorit, though not necessarily a successor.

    And to prove that there was an air-launched Meteorit, a picture of a Tu-95MA. Notice the small canards on the missile.

    That huge supersonic missile, was it the P-750 Grom (AS-X-19)?

    Maybe, though the air-launched variant was actually called 3M25A Meteorit-A. The original Tu-160 main weapon was to be the Kh-45, but it was cancelled in the 1970s, so there should have been enough time to redesign the bay.
    Ironically, the 3M25 then turned out to be too long to fit into the Tu-160 weapon bay, so a new variant with even longer bays – Tu-160M – had to be designed. Unfortunately it was cancelled alongside the 3M25.

    No worries…

    …But perhaps you could also post a direct link to the source next time… 🙂

    BTW what do you think of my site?

    I would love to see it fly with actual Al-41 instead of the D-30s

    The 1.44 already has AL-41s. Its the Su-47 with the D-30s.
