To detect an “stealth” aircraft does not mean that you can target it. Sure, that gives you advantage, but still the aircraft must be engaged by missile with IR/Radar homing head.

Would it be technically feasible to install a tracking radar, similar to the naval ones for AK-630, and use the gun to knock down incoming AAMs ?

No. The gun right now is guided by radar, but it’s no where near in capability to CIWS like Phalanx for example. And Phalanx weight little more than 6 tons.

It’s useful if someone comes close enough

And the question is what will come close enough. On paper the effective range is 2km.

Any idea how effective the Vikhr is as well as its range when used on the Grach?

Around 10km and the more limiting factor is the Shkval system. System is good, it’s just that to acquire and track tank from that distance is challenging.
As for the Vikhr missile, most of the feedback and opinions is that it is good. Compared to other missile there are some good advantages. The missile have supersonic speed(max 610m/s), so the flight time is lower and that improves the survival chance of the aircraft. Vikhr cannot be jammed as the laser does not illuminate the target, but creates a “corridor” 5×5 meters wide in which the missile flies in spiral path. Guiding is done by the tail and as the distance to target lower, the corridor become smaller. Using this method does not alert the target as the power of the laser is low. Also there is another big advantage. Other laser guided missiles are affected by weather and counter-measures, but Vikhr does not need very precise illumination of the target, so the chance of successful strike is bigger. And the last advantage is that Vikhr does not have homing head, so the cost of the missile is lower.
I guess you have seen this video. The famous story behind the interception of the Tu-16 is that the pilot said that he will strike the left engine and he succeeded. You can see the spiral path in the video. Also there is the story of Shkval trials where the system was so sensitive that tracked flying crows.

Really? What is the basis for your numbers?

I have reports from HM Revenue&Customs and Deloitte. Also you can check here the budged deficit from 05 to 2010.

And as this thread is way off-topic i hope that the moderator will move the posts to the thread in General Discussion.

It’s ZB-500 incendiary container or as Jane’s definition “fire bombs”.

I’m namely interested in what stores are cleared from each of the ten stations (11 for the Su-25TM), and what weight each is stressed for.

Here you go. 8 of the pilons can support up to 500kg of weapons. In the pages there are weapon configurations given as an example. Like the first one is “256 unguided rockets type S-5 in 8 pods UB-32M”. I guess you will be able to translate the weapon names?

but do you remember Matthias Rust

Using this as example for how capable was the Soviet PVO? Nevermind how different is your version, Swerve i thought that you are more serious.
And on the topic, sure any defense can be penetrated with enough force, but at what cost?

“The Fulcrum’s engines smoke heavily and are a good aid to gaining sight of the adversary.”
I was on airshow month ago where there was MiG-29UB and Eurofighter flying. I can tell you that both aircraft had similar smoke characteristics. The whole story about MiG-29 smoky engines is so overrated.
And then comes the part: “The combat record of the MiG-29 speaks for itself”
I don’t know if the author think that only retards will read his text and that’s why he so freely ignore all circumstances about all engagements.

Communists = Fight like ants don’t care about the life of the individual soldier.

Its not a generalization but truth. I am not the most technically knowledgable poster here, but I know my history.

If there is moderator here, this part from your post must be deleted. Nice trolling. And you are welcome to share what is your experience. I come from ex-communist country and i’m old enough to have lived under such regime.
