    So in other words, UAE want’s to pressure Washington until they sell them F-35s?

    It involove a factory but I am skeptical of fighter factory working in desert. just the temperature control cost will be astronomical and than add high cost of living and low labor productivity.

    The work involves sophisticated technology and highly complicated equipment. It almost took a decade for us to create our own fifth generation aircraft in Russia,” he added.

    “We shall probably begin this work next year. The project is difficult, I think the plane will be created in seven or eight years, no earlier,” Chemezov said, emphasising that the project would be completed no sooner than 2025.

    New UAE factory for jet

    New facilities will be built in the UAE to manufacture the aircraft, but the total investment involved in the deal was not disclosed.

    Thanks for taking the time to scan and post that copy of the radar equation, garryA. The idea that ten times the power equates to ten times the range displays the technical ignorance of the person who posed it.

    he stated it wrong. Flanker and Fulcrum are practical example where slight increase in power make radar performance several times better in Flanker. I don’t deal with theories.

    If the Trump administration’s Kellyanne Conway recently introduced us to the idea of ‘alternative facts’. JSR has just introduced us to the concept of ‘alternative maths’! I have had discussions with several Russian radar engineers, and none have ever suggested that there is a Russian alternative radar equation.

    yup they are going to tell you real radar concepts and stealth rcs of systems and weopons.

    Russia says it is working on a new range of laser, plasma and electromagnetic weapons as well as hypersonic missiles which would be able to hit a US aircraft carrier before the Pentagon even realised it had been fired.

    The Kremlin’s Deputy Defence Minister Yuri Borisov said yesterday: ‘Coming next are hypersonic weapons, which require the use of principally new materials and control systems that operate in a completely different medium, in plasma.’

    e said: ‘Coming next are completely new principles of troop operations’ control because today one who learns to detect the enemy quicker and give the target designation – and all this has to be done in real time – is the one who actually wins.’

    the need of SAMs radar will be getting less.

    http://www.defenseworld.net/news/11253/Russia_To_Develop_AEW_Aircraft_A_100_Based_On_Upgraded_Il_76MD_90A#.WLJ2UvPTl9A
    The new A-100, equipped with powerful panoramic surveillance radars and computers will be capable of scanning the airspace for hundreds of kilometers in every direction, identifying targets and sending complete targeting data to anti-aircraft and anti-missile defense systems enabling them to shoot down the targets.

    its claimed this system has active electronic warfare capability. there are pods on wings with ability of detecting new class of targets.

    Good to hear a UAE participation coz, unlike India which have no specific timeline, UAE is a disciplined country in that area.

    They had alot more money. imagine the size of SWF with current stock market.

    But this a/c deal (if it’s really serious) at this moment looks like UAE’s bribe to Russia for staying out of Yemeni war and for not helping the Yemeni people in their fight against Saudi aggression. The last Russian humanitarian aid flight that came to Yemen was over a year ago.

    I doubt it has anything to do with Yemen. Russia takes upfront money not spread over many years into the future tied to specific project outcome.

    The guys running Office in Kiev may have some serious ambitions, but they apare not to be the sharpest knives in the slot..

    Playing poker against Putin..

    Putin is giving them enough rope as he is waiting to see the impact of IMF programme on Ukraine society and building alternative pipeline routes. and In mean time Russia military procurement and training is full steam ahead. All those new MLRS and Artellery systems backed by new survelelnce and targeting.

    Israel and Turkey has as much role as long as Gulf countries have extra funds for them. Turkey and Israel are incompetent fools as long economics, science and military are concerned. They always need external help from skill labor, spare parts to tourism to foreign fund flow. both has leaders that are embarrassment due to there loud mouth.

    Oh I didn’t realise you were referring to the planned Kirkuk Oil pipeline to Iran. This won’t go ahead and nothing will come of it. Israel-Turkey-Russia are working to prevent this. Yes Russia too because it compromises its Turkish Stream pipeline.

    pipeline to southern eu is not that important compared to drilling resources in Irak-Iran. those countries are more oriented towards selling to Asia where population has much higher growth. just Bangladesh/Vietnam and Indonesia adds up to 500 million people.

    Russian company discovers huge oil reserve in Iraq

    https://sputniknews.com/military/201702211050887700-russia-iraq-arms-deliveries/

    Moscow is addressing the issue of new military equipment deliveries to Iraq’s armed forces.
    He noted that Russian-Iraqi military technical cooperation “is developing quite effectively.”

    “Russia provides considerable support and assistance to Iraq in the fight against the Daesh terrorist organization banned in Russia,” Frolkin said.

    Turkey and Israel cant exist without Gulf money. Turkey and Israel make a lot of noise in the news but practical worth is zero as far as Russia is concerned.

    only 5% of oil is exported through turkey and even that is moving to alternate routes.

    Really? Remember when Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons? Russia promised to guarantee Ukraine’s borders. Where was Russia’s honour & dependability when it annexed Crimea, sent weapons & soldiers into eastern Ukraine, & shelled Ukraine from across the border? The promise had been made with no caveats about Ukraine’s internal governance, but it was thrown away the moment that it suited Putin to do so.

    Russia under its current rulers is ‘honourable & dependable’ only as long as that serves what Putin wants.

    It is not about Ukraine but EU considering EU countries role in Russia friendly countries like Syria and Libya. Russia already did Germany favour by that peaceful reunification and Germany violating so many agreements at other places.

    Russia create there own maths . I am very confident if TVC engine implemented in F16 the weight of plan will be more than MIG35. This eryie is underpowered and low cruising altitude airframe.

    That is your opinion not scientific and engineering fact based on Russian systems. A-100 also will have bigger antenna and will fly at much higher altitude. I am fully expecting 20 times improvement. Su-35 and MIG35 has identical altitude and nose size is much closer. only 30% difference.

    No, radar wave travel 2 ways so using a radar 10 times more powerful ( or 10dB increase) the detection range will be improved by 1.78 times. To get 10 time the range you need 160 times the transmitting power.

    Su-35 has only 50% more power than MIG35 but radar capability is atleast twice if not more. 10 times more power should produce 20 times more range .

    so 10 times more powerful A100 should be able to track F35 at 2000 km.

    Funding is no issue. The Gulf States (especially Qatar and Saudi Arabia) have been funding Turkey’s R&D projects.

    those large scales fundings without dividend return are thing of the past these Gulf states are not as rich as they used to be at higher energy prices plus they are disappointed in Turkish performance in Syria and Irak. Turkey is unable to dislodge Syrian government. Turkey unable to prevent Irak from increasing its oil production that is hitting there pocket books. Now Russia directly deals with those Gulf states to squeeze money out of them. I have read in reputable twitter account that Russia has told them that there is arms embargo for 5 years on Iran so they better get in line to compensate Russian arms industry. ultimately Russia procurement is going at such speed that it will completely block air and sea links of Middleast and EU unless those gulf states fully fund Russian investment funds and with highly efficient procurement and R&D Russia will be the only hegemon left in EU and Middleast. every on else will be weak and dependent.
