    But it goes both ways. As Syrian forces(and Russians) struggle with the day-to-day supply line for their forces. Enough fuel, ammo, water/food. futige, wounded personel, repair of equipment.
    So any rebel forces in Syria will face a much worse situation for supplying their forces.

    So in this respect^^ Any rebel force have only so many days they can uphold an local offensive before they have to double back or risk being overrun in a counter-offensive by Syrian troops or risk being blown up by VKS.
    The key word here is Sustainment.

    It’s not just sustainment but sending samples of each kind for real world conditions and than improve it . so its sustainment plus improvement.

    What the hell does that mean..?? Is St. Peterburg Israel’s fault now?

    What, did he? Oh I missed that.

    But to be honest I’m long past caring whose bombs are dropping on which civilians in either Syria or Iraq – not, hopefully, out of any personal feeling of heartlessness, hopefully, rather out of a feeling of hopelessness.

    Actually Syria and Irak are small scale compared to Yemen where at one point 400 combat aircraft involved.

    1 ton extra fuel not alot when weight increase is 2 tons. Plus overload it with more weopon stations.

    No word on the latest chemical attack?

    Who is RT blaming?

    RT is for presenting things that others ignore it or not understand it. just look at Su-24 shot down and st peterburg bombing. it happen after certain visits. Middleast will pay hell alot if they continue with this path. as Russian stronk points of Airdefence/antiship missiles hasnt been used to optimum.

    4 RBS 15 at approx. 600kg each + pylons + 2 IRIS-T equals less than 3 tons excluding drop tank, it should be very realistic for a 100-200nm run out from a hidden / protected airbase out to the Baltic for launch, that is more than needed for many customers. Just remember that not all countries plan for long range offensive missions..

    it is about surplus fuel and power to escape to another airbase. the aircraft will need a steep climb to 30 to 40k feet to give maximum situational awarness to radar and range to missiles and after launching those subsonic missiles it can escape back to an unknown airbase.

    MBDA used Gripen as the launch aircraft for much of their Meteor development programme.

    MIG21bison is R77 capable since 1999.

    LOL.

    I think Gripen will do much better than that for the following reasons:

    1. The new RBS-15 will be much lighter (and presumably also smaller) than the current RBS-15.

    2. Gripen E has grown quite a lot since Gripen C; if you look at my previous post, it is now (compared to F-16 block 50) roughly the same length, empty weight is approx. 600 kg less but still carries 200kg more internal fuel than the F-16 block 50.

    Of course Gripen E will still remain a small fighter so range will probably drop considerably when carrying so many missiles, but at least it will have a significantly better “starting point” than the current Gripen.

    Gripen is clearly overweight for its engine power. and draggier weopon load will make it more uncompetitive. it just cant provide the altitude and accelaration for missile shots.

    4 anti ship missile load out is impressive,
    will the new missile be able to strike ground targets ?

    It still look like subsonic missile with high rcs Aircraft launch speed and altitude important for maximum range. Gripen is simply not capable of saturated attack and afterburner escape. There is no EW pods either.

    Current MIG-29 at 180km.

    http://www.airrecognition.com/index.php/focus-analysis-photo-report-aviation-defence-industry/aviation-defence-industry-technology/3257-mikoyan-mig-35-in-full-details-specifications-performances-weapons-sensors.html
    The Zhuk-AME is made of sophisticated electronic componentry. Its transmit-receive (T-R) modules are made of light high-temperature ceramics with the use of the 3D technology. This allows a reduction in the thickness of the AESA itself to about 10 cm together with the power supply sources and control units. The radar consists of three units – the AESA, synthesizer and computer system.

    The Zhuk-AME is far more advanced than the current radars are now.

    “The radar’s performance has been boosted by about 50% as a result of consolidating all technological strengths in the AESA. The overall weight of the advanced radar is around 100 kg. While the MiG-29 can attack targets out to 180 km, the latest Zhuk extends the engagement range to 260 km,” Phazotron-NIIR’s general designer emphasized.

    No, our dear fantasier. It depends on how much Zhuk-A is actually ready for service and serial production. Come back when you will have something better, just like a news telling Zhuk-A has passed the State Trials and eneterd serial production, than your wishful thinking and fantasies about Tommorow.

    It exist but it hasnt delivered to state trails. your english is poor in articulating the right sentence construct. your basically denying Phazotron AESA programme when it already enter with Kopyo-A. Kopya itself belong to Zhuk family of radars as it designed for less powerfull like MIG-21 and helicopters.

    For serial produced weapons systems, as MIG-29M2 for Egypt, Zhuk-A is still doesn’t exist, isn’t in production and can’t be installed on the actual weapon systems…because it never existed as a tested and serial produced module for the actual weapon systems as MIG-29M2. See? I was right.

    You just need to separate your wishful thinking and the “Legends of Tommorow” from reality. In reality, there is no such a weapon module as FCR Zhuk-A. There are only some prototypes in development with unclear level of their readiness even for the State Trials, which they still not passed yet.

    it depends how much Egypt paying and and when they signed the original order and when they want the system. as I said it hasnt been received by Ruaf so your premature speculation of its non-existence when it clearly exist and Phazotron AESA development are broad from Ka-27M to UAVs and radar satellites. there is no reason to doubt.

    https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/defense/2017-03-22/modernized-ka-27m-helicopters-join-russian-navy
    The digital systems on the Ka-27M are similar to those on the Ka-52 Alligator and its navalized version, the Ka-52K Katran. Several helicopters can exchange data in real time among themselves, their warships and control centers on shore.

    The Ka-27M’s mission equipment has been integrated by Phazotron-NIIR, a member in the KRET concern of Rostec Corporation. It includes modern hydro acoustics and magnetic anomaly analysis, radio emission detection and recognition, information processing and other systems. The Kopyo-A radar with an active phased array replaces the older Osminog-PL radar that had a parabolic antenna with mechanical beam steering.

    Phazotron-NIIR describes the Kopyo-A as a “multi-mode radar for combat, range is quoted as 250km.

    As predicted.

    And the Turkish forces had also suffered heavy losses in the fight against ISIS in al-Bab, or as one Pentagon official put it, “They got their asses kicked.”

    Let me remind you the initial question.

    You see? No word about MIG-35. Just about AESA radar, which is still a prototype in development.

    this your orignal statement. any one who has learned english well will think it never existed. The better statement to make it is that it hasnt been delivered yet in final form. and who knows what that final form is in year 2019.

    Hardly anything may happen to thing which never existed.

    Its a continous competition with Flanker series who are in much higher yearly production and much wider pilot base now for quick induction. if one F-35 pilots takes $10m than even more efficient Ruaf will still need half to a million dollar for pilots.

    As a serial produced and ready-to-use combat system? Yep, it doesn’t exist.

    MIG35 hasn’t been delivered so saying it does not meet requirements is premature.
