Traveling fast long distances HAS a clear tactical advantage, it makes you more flexible tactics, decrease enemy’s time of reaction, and mainly it gets you in a better position to start the fight at the place and aspect yo want it.
that not always true , reaction time is a function of detection range too so going faster doesnot neccessary mean enemy will have less time to react. If you go faster you will have much higher infrared signature and often have to cruise at higher altitude ,thus enemy can detect you from much further distance.
So traveling long distances fast, is actually very important, and in fact, is a more solid feature than the overrated stealth.
if speed was more important than steath then new fighters would be more like SR-71 or Mig-31 rather than J-31 ,j-20 , F-22 or F-35
In general cued search mode often mean the beam is narrower for more concentrated power, that will improve detection range but increase scanning time for total FoV.
And maximum detection range of radar is always at maximum PRF which is good to get reflection but you cant determine distance to target
Vertical polarization is more common for fighter aircraft application as it can handle vegetation absorption of radar signal better than horizontal polarization.
This look like it is polarized in horizontal plane
So, according to this ‘analysis’, PESA radar with a peak-power of 20kW has a longer range of detection than a PESA radar of Megawatt class?! :stupid:
As i understand the range for S-400radar is tracking range while the range for Irbis-e is focused detection range, normally for the same radar TWS range is about 1/3 of velocity search (max detection range) so it not that surprising that s-400 radar tracking range seem equal to Irbis-e detection range
Anyway these are many others factor such as jamming and clutter
TBH, i wouldn’t take seriously any ‘analysis’ which operates only by public claims and basic arithmetics
If only people would apply this to others aspects such as fighter agility and supercruise
This is how real analysis should look like: http://radar.dinos.net/content.htm
Until they have something like this, there is nothing to discuss here. BTW, can someone share something similar to this doc i posted above, made by the Western radiophysicists? Would be very interesting to read something more factual and scientific than these TV-shop style loads of BS for housewives, about “metal marble” and “golf ball”.
I actually saw the English version of your link before, it a bit weird that the name of these links is in English but the downloaded file is in Russian, seem unnecessary confusing for people
The light weight F-15E is 1980s airframe will be severally G limited. new F-15K is 20tons without Aesa radar.
No it isn’t
why are you always trying to spread retarded blatant lie? what the point ?
You still need total engine power advantage regardless of TWR for radar and electronic warfare.
total engine thrust is not related to electric power for Radar and ECM,go learn how a jet engine work before speaking BS!
Compare the fan sizes and get back to MiG31bm about who doesn’t know what
It very unlikely that JSR understand how jet engine produce thrust , he talk like a primary school student
MIG-31BM need constant reminders in every thread about aircraft specification and specific roles they are designed from ground up otherwise it’s all his misinformation.
sure mate :rolleyes: do you actually believe anyone here stupid enough to believe your words?
.
However we know and can accept (as we always did) that a standard 4 gen plane cannot pick up neither of the F-35 and F-22 on their radar. I mean that was the first requirement to begin with!
.
F-15 radar is extremely powerful though, it probably the fighter with the most powerful radar at the moment along with Su-35S, it can also carry ATP sniper-xr, which is a powerful IRST unit by itself
ok, works well when simulated, didnt pan out quite as well during the live testing vs the ole F-16D
come on, we come over this a thousand time already, the test with F-16D is a flight control test where the F-35 go max elevated AoA to see how the FBW software react, it not a test to see who win in dogfight
Seen this yet ?
S-400 beats the F-35 hands down ?
I have seen that video a couple of times and i have to say that whoever made the video has very vague idea of electromagnetic physics and aerodynamic. Most likely someone who read War is boring once or twice and tried to put some quote he remembered into a video.
If you want to know whether F-35 can penetrate S-400, first get the basic knowledge correct atleast
Everything about ECM
The F-16 with the DSI intake had been tested at mach 2, so the DSI intake is probably not the limiting factor, but the F-35 was designed for a specific max top speed. Not sure it can go faster than that in a safe manner.
DSI on F-16 seem to have much narrower area compared to F-35 DSI, that probably indicated it was optimize for higher speed than the one on F-35
sure. India spent 20 years in improving Su-30MKI. when Su-30SM came out its already improvement from the start.
If you cant give a proper argument then just be quiet, who do you think you can convince here with your Russian stroonk BS ?
Thrust curve of F-135 isn’t even in public at this point, but some members here seem to know F-35 exact acceleration past mach 1.2 :highly_amused:
The big weight gain with the F-15 came with the F-15E which had a stronger airframe due to the payloads it would often be carrying. Any weight gain in subsequent variants of the F-15E has been minor. To compare it in range and power to the MiG-29 is absolutely false. Original MiG-29 has abysmal range and is a lot closer to the F/A-18 in terms of engine power.
The USN couldn’t really have chosen to keep the F-14D, politics left them without the option to continue F-14 production and upgrades.
Lol dont bothered to respond to JSR, he just a brainless troll, every argument he made always start with : ” performance figure for Russian weapons are for export version, domestic product will be alot better” then he go on and make up numbers, it not for no reason that everyone have been ignoring him in this thread and almost every thread
