the point I am making is atleast on paper you can aim for newer technology for some thing that will enter service 20 years down the road. by that time it will be equipped with 40 year old technology.

The PAK FA radar system consists of a prospective AFAR X-band in the nose, two side-view radars, and a L-band AFAR along the flaps.

Today CRET also works on the creation of a radio-optical radar for PAK FA. The concern intends to create a full-scale sample of the radar station of the future until 2018.

Photonic technologies will allow to expand the radar’s possibilities – to reduce the mass more than twice, and to increase the resolution tens of times. Such radars with radio-optical phased array antennas are able to make a kind of “X-ray image” of aircraft located at a distance of more than 500 kilometers and give their detailed, three-dimensional image. This technology allows you to look inside the object, find out what technique it carries, how many people are in it, and even to see their faces.

When Rogozin involved results are always concrete .

Russia-China cooperation yields concrete results: Putin

Err.. the TLAM-D was very much in service in 1991. IOC – 1986.

The shift away from low-level tactics for the USAF came in the wake of the Vietnam war and probably more importantly – the 1973 Yom Kippur war where Egyptian AD effectively blocked IAF strikes. SA-2s & SA-3s had the upper altitudes covered but when the IAF tried to go in low (as it did in ’67) it ran into SA-7 (Strela-2) equipped infantry, with the SAMs covered by AAA, forcing the jets to climb.. right back into the SAM envelop. Fast forward 9 years to the Bekaa Valley – entirely different outcome. In the USAF’s case – you had the F-117 (coming in roughly at the same time as the Tornado) while the F-15E was selected to replace the F-111

yeah despite all that India invested one of the largest sums in Jaguar.

Sure. But that was the kind of just-in-case planning that equipped the F-22 with TVC. Also, keep in mind that the B-2 is VLO at all altitudes. Any low-level flights will taken place at night-time; minimal threat from optical systems with similar resistance to EM-guided SAMs while staying clear of low-frequency EW radar.

VLO at all altitudes? what is VLO and what is all altitude?. what is its range at tree top height?

They already one time admitted illegal export of missiles from year 2000 to 2005. these are full missiles not just paper technology transfer. They had that joint development of An-140 with Iran also. who want to give leadership to Ukraine to built a plane.

Ukraine Admits Missile Transfers
Ukrainian officials have acknowledged that a total of 12 Kh-55 medium-range, air-launched cruise missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads were transferred from Ukraine to Iran and China in the last five years

now they are building similar project with Saudis. military doctorine around Antonov with technology transfer when basically every subsystem to make the plane fly is imported from west.

http://english.alarabiya.net/en/business/aviation-and-transport/2016/12/26/Saudi-general-lauds-tie-up-with-Ukraine-for-jet-manufacture.html
“A Saudi plane with Ukrainian partnership would contribute to the development of the military doctrine of the armed forces of Saudi Arabia,” according to Retd. Major General Mohammed Alqbeban.
Nevertheless, Ukraine has a desire for partnership and to open up to the Middle East, and most of all, the desire for transfer of technology. It was something of a challenge when dealing with Western countries.”

Thanks to Ukraine, North Korea have working ICBM with thermonuclear warhead. If mad Trump attack North Korea, than Kim will do his best to sink California to the Pacific ocean. Thermonuclear ICBMs are the best guaranties, that US will not attack North Korea and to secure peace there.

I doubt california has any worth. it is built on unstable desert geography with complete import based economics. i am very generous to use the word economic to include everything.

those helicopter crew and support staff will be dealing with 50 centigrade heat in Syrian desert. they fly low.

With hardly 30 fixed winged aircrafts at the disposal to service the entire Syrian theatre and 8 x dumb bombs on a normal basis is not going to cut it. Theoretically, even if 30 aircraft are airborne at a time, it brings to the table ordnance only enough for 240 targets over the entire Syria theatre. Then for the next 2-3 hours its going to be without any air support.

you are forgetting Syrian airforce. there effectiveness increased in Ruaf presence. so the total bombs drop per day is a lot higher.

Those sensors help in ground support like artillery/MLRS units.

Among the other benefits of an armored Su-34 is its capability to climb and cruise at heights between 8,000 and 12,000 m, allowing the pilot to familiarize himself with the tactical situation on the ground with the help of onboard sensors before swooping down for attack

‘Bankrupt Eastern EU’ ??
I wonder how they got that way ?

Did it have anything to do with Russia’s raping and pillaging for over 40 yrs ?

yup Karl Marx was Russian and all that practical commie leadership that was born in Ukraine was also Russian. and all those steel mills and heavy armour factories that were built in Ukraine based on russian technical knowledge was also Russian decision.
Doesn’t it look strange that country with no nuclear technology produce 50% of electric from nuclear power. and they were building more chernobyly stop it.

Ukraine is heavily dependent on nuclear energy – it has 15 reactors generating about half of its electricity
