JSRThose Brahmos specifications are 25 years old and the only thing claimed was 9 times energy of Tomyhawk on target. I am sure ALCM version will provide even more speed since much newer.
https://www.army-technology.com/unca…order-4971274/
It offers nine times as much kinetic energy and flight ranges up to three times longer than existing subsonic cruise missiles.
Yakhon was already at 500kg warhead with range more than 500km.

The Russian Yakhont and the Indian BrahMos have a similar appearance to the Onyx, but with significantly reduced combat characteristics.The Onyx devices are capable of being fired from underwater, and they fly at a speed of 2,460 feet per second, carrying a devastating, high-explosive warhead weighing half a ton. The missiles have a range of more than 372.8 miles
when has F-35 6 1000km missile operationally carried.?. lower altitude does not help nor slow moving profile change.
JSR
Nowadays when even fighter can launch missiles from 1000 km away, these requirements become rather questionable.
relatively small payload, slow speed and predictiable flight profile of 1000km missiles make them easy intercept or spooked and cant used against real time targets.
only Brahmos has high speed S curve high speed dive feature so India implementing it on Su-30.
JSRit does not apply in reverse. Turkey has fundamental conflict with Arab world, Greece, Israel and want to squeeze money out of Europe as they not want to let it in completely. so Turkey need another country that can continuously supply high technology and efficient resources. .. what will happen Turkey buy much more weopons after seeing S400 effectiveness. ?
Turkey sold UAVs to Ukraine and it will implement that trade deal that will only benefit it. this dependency will increase.

if Turkey operate both F-35 and S-400, they could look at how the threat library of F-35 operate and thus make their own S-400 more potent, which is not necessarily what the US want
what about Chinese supercomputers and industrial robots. are they not improving S400?. or even the whole Israel flying around Syria in small airspace. this is real life practice to airdefence systems of interception and flight profiles of the smallest bomb.

“One of the key tasks is to improve anti-precision warfare means. It is necessary to develop and build up technological groundwork in the area of air defense, to continue modernization of Pantsir systems
VHF and OTH radar are not recent development btw, even the old Sa-75 and Sa-125 already had low frequency radar and multiple radars operate at multiple frequency
old manufacture.
JSR
I think it is far from done. Germany will likely order a few more. Production should last till at least the late 2020s.
Typhoon is already expensive further low rate production will make it even more expensive. the 6G Euro fighter expenses haven’t even started.
JSRIt is not just developing product but creating firms like Aeroflot-Volga-Dnepr and UTair to support it. and transport helicopter share engine and components with attack helicopter.
UTair is Authorized for Commercial Operation of Mi-171A2
“Mi-171A2 is a fundamentally new helicopter. We saw value in the innovations implemented in it: digital complex of aircraft equipment, new more powerful engines, efficient lifting system with composite blades and X-type tail rotor. These and other technical solutions have not only influenced performance of the aircraft in the best possible way, but also reduced the load on the crew”, – stressed Dmitriy Streltsov, Vice-President – Flight Director of UTair – Helicopter Services.
JSRThe cost and technical advantage of Russia aviation industry so huge that small differences in product operational efficiency not matter.
you can add C929 and further modification of Superjets.

JSR. remember your opinion about Chinese technology based on Chinese relative. I mentioned those helicopters . the are not sufficiently protected for armed forces nor they reliable for Ukranian budget. Ukraine situation is very similar like Japan.
JSRI don’t know the details of this deal but the Ukraine needs Helicopters and it certainly thumbs a nose at Russia so I would put this down as for the Geopolitical benefits and certainly there is no harm in keeping the factory busy.

we don’t know Ukraine need those helicopters. but one thing is clear. once Ukranain pilots and maintainance are trained on it. they will likely want to get there jobs in other countries where salaries much higher and new crew will need training constantly. its already showing up in deindustrialization on top of debt to buy foreign helicopters.

JSRI full expect Mach 10 to Mach 20 missile inside the weopon bay of Su-57. Look at the new Buk-M3 missile capability. It can intercept missiles with speed of 3 km/sec and altitude upto 40km. now this is tremendous acceleration from missiles that may weigh 500 to 600kg or less. for some reason Russian don’t advertise airlunched weopons the same way as SAMs.
they do have $3.6b of revenues that is pure weopons unlike when you sell SAM that include TELs, radars and communication equipment.
JSRits big T-tail design.. you cannot compare it with passenger design turbo props.

As part of the reborn Il-112V project, Klimov was invited to provide an improved engine, the 2,800shp (with higher emergency rating) TV7-117S series 2, while radio-electronics house KRET was charged with adapting its President-S helicopter defensive suite to the Il-112V for battlefield operations.
JSRI wouldn’t be surprised that even Rafale added to this bazaar. . After all French practically stop upgrading M2K to get not fully functional Rafale.
now they are going to built 6G fighter with a country that that has rejected digital tax, euro budget and dithering on basic funding.
Angela Merkel’s apparent successor questions Nato spending targets
JSR[FONT=”Open sans”,Georgia,Times,”Times New Roman”,serif]based on these numbers from the above link .there is nothing they can do about it consider the limited space/skills with inefficient spending. you cannot spend 10 years and nothing to show for unless those people are involved in other aerospace projects.
This includes $194.6 million for research into fighter “mission system integration studies and manned-unmanned aircraft teaming technology,” and is on top of the $1.7 billion Japan has invested in fighter research since 2009. That first figure is also more than 10 times the amount spent on R&D for Japan’s Mitsubishi F-2 fighter, according to Uchimura

Its all about consumer.

Aerospace development as complex as Steath fighter all the associated weopon systems. need huge area for development and another huge area for testing. Japan simply don’t have the land for this thing.

JSRhundreds of kms of altitudes mostly applies to ICBM. why will ICBMs fly near equator where most of the time ships are parked. new generation of smaller air launched BMs, ASM, ARMs are as fast as hypersonic projectiles that can fly high and fly low at sea surface in same flight and far manevorable for over size heavy SAMs.
The problem for ship based air defence system is that Radar and TEL are combined into one big structure.
you make one component bigger several other components are also need to be enlarged all the way to resupply ships and manpower.
now this manpower constraint may not apply to China.
