JSRMig-31 has a lower operational speed and its enough for AF requirement. it doesn’t fry its engines when doing a supersonic dash, and it can sustain a high Mach over considerable time.
Lot’s of fuel going.
MIG-31 does not have lower operational speed. infact it has the highest operational speed. there is context to word operational.
with lighter avionics/radar and engine boost. MIG-31 is 30km altitude fighter.
JSRLeaving the present aside, the suggestion that Russia “will always be” ahead of China in military aviation is indefensible. R&D is not magic, there is no “secret source” to which China does not have access, no peoples of sacred blood destined to claim the heights forever. It is a matter of resources and national will, and China has both.
matter of resources and national will. have you measured that of both countries?. Plus does Chinese government knows how to utilize it as the level of debt they created does not inspire any confidence.
Ultimately Russia is destined to become the junior partner in its defense-industrial relationship with China. This should not be a source of shame, nor is it to question the skills of Russian engineers and researchers, nor is it to deny the significant role that Russia and its defence manufacturers and scientists will continue to play in the world going forward. It is simply the way of things to come.
Russia is destined to make China relegate to 2nd tier power. there are practical steps going in that direction. The Syria experience is being used to improve products faster.
couple of years back you were writing long about Brazilian aerospace. how it ended up.
JSRI am truly staggered at this….I never expected to see Russian stupidity trying to hide behind American stupidity. Its the behaviour of the school playground “well he did it first!!!”. How old are you people?.
It is the European reaction to American stupidity that Russia is using to discredit European democracy and integrity of politicians. Europe simply lacks military power that’s why it negotiated that deal with Turkey despite Turkey bombing kurds for decades. (Turkey also done some thing else).
JSRRussia has very advance radar systems. There is no chance of they making any mistake even in crowded airspace of Syria.. time has proved it. They competently shot an-26 . It’s only the poorly trained and older equipment that can make mistakes.
JSRIt is a question that you want to ask, and nor necessarily one that other forum members might want to pose. The JIT is not a Dutch investigation. It is an international investigation led by the Public Prosecution Service of the Dutch Ministry of Justice, but with members from Belgium, Ukraine, Australia, and Malaysia.
It just show you have less knowledge in this area than even the outdated missile systems knowledge. The list of countries that you mentions are non scientific in complex aerospace engagement, dependent and corrupt. Its beneath Russia dignity to even comment on there report.
this rarely happens when rich Islamic country take another to court for money on such scale. it is different level of incompetence.
http://www.thenational.ae/business/economy/20160614/abu-dhabis-ipic-seeks-65-billion-from-1mdb-malaysia-in-arbitration-bid
Abu Dhabi�s International Petroleum Investment Company (Ipic) has filed with a London court to arbitrate its claim against entities of the Malaysian government for US$6.5 billion.
Russia will take EU only seriously when it is whole (meaning one central authority) and free. (free of foreign military bases, investments/Oil dependency, labor).
JSRIt’s not about budget strong but what can be developed quickly and need less long run ways, space with high sortie generation capability.
JSR“… if the US did not stage the coup in Ukrainne (sic).” This is as psychotic and ludicrous a quote as I have ever seen.
Current Turkey president has very close relationship with Ukraine. ever wonder where he is barking about his own coup.
JSRlol…
The Olgino factory to the rescue.
nope. EU countries were participating in Friends of Syria conferences from 2011-2012. They were the most vocal. Russia already expected what is going to happen in Ukraine. so they planned it ahead by dumping bankrupt Ukranian government over EU. it will take couple of years for ukranian to come to there conclusion.
JSRThe tragic irony of this is the circularity of the argument.
The airlines continue to fly over a hostile ground environment as there is no perceived anti-air threat able to reach airliner cruise altitudes. There is no perceived anti-air threat because of the complexity of the infrastructure and equipment needed to coherently threaten at that altitude. The accident then happens precisely because of a clueless attempt to use that complex equipment outside of its nominal supporting infrastructure.
Its a warzone. there is no such thing as perception of this and that weopon.
The culpability rests purely with whoever loaned the TEL to the rebels without ensuring they had full tactical awareness of the airspace they could deny with it. Simple as that.
the culpability rest purely on those who funded the overthrow of democratic system and created civil war. remember civil wars can attract volunteers and external weopons just look at Syria.
JSRIt seems that attack on Syrian troops were to mollify Saudis anger in Iran role in Russian strikes. this attack probably end the cease fire as it was not from the front.

The Saudis have always thought that the way to get the Russians to back off is what worked in Afghanistan 30 years ago – negating their air power by giving MANPADS to the mujahideen,” said a second U.S. official.“So far, we’ve been able to convince them that the risks of that are much higher today because we’re not dealing with a Soviet Union in retreat, but a Russian leader who’s bent on rebuilding Russian power and less likely to flinch,” this official said, referring to Russian President Vladimir Putin

Commander: IRGC supplies intelligence to Russia for airstrikes in Syria
The Russian air support was of course effective, but the ground forces gave them the intelligence that, for example, [told them] which terrorists were in what area.”
JSRWhile I was aware of these facts, I am also aware that the entire staff of the KGB and GRU were not dismissed en masse circa 1990, but formed the basis of the present-day equivalent services. So a lot of old-style thinking and older world view may still apply.
.
old style thinking? those people are already sidelined. it is the supercomputing that is improving the decisions.

JSRIL96M400 is very competitive with newer engines considering its overall price will be 1/3 of Airbus/Boeing. it is still better than IL476 for transporting troops from Russian far east to Syria in one direct flight as every military base need practical training and rotation. A lot of countries used commercial boeing for troop transport over long distance. than there is charter flights for tourists, resource extraction companies also need long distance travel to places, and mass evacuation.
this is called definition of special mission.
JSRRussia on the other hand can’t even admit why it is that all of its “closest friends” fear and hate it. You persist in propagating lies and fairy tales about how Russia was “not brutal” or that if it was they had it coming anyway…
Again your limited understanding. those so called friends lilke Poland or some others lived on free money so there were no consequences for there BS that era is now coming to close both for new and old members. what is in store for them that is separate debate since they let down both Merkel/Obama and the powers behind them on refugees.

(Newswire.net — September 23, 2016) — US Vice President Joe Biden urged Ukraine to “straighten up and fly right” or the EU might lift Russia sanctions.

In the past the American speculator tried to put pressure on the Hungarian government on several occasions, especially in issues of immigration and financial matters.”
JSRChina is at basic level. Chinese does not even realize they put the big factories at wrong places. large scale aviation factories need there own factory towns and not in coastal regions. it still very manual job and large scale turnover of labor can either destroy the whole projects or import depended.

JSROh, so the Poles were “with Nazies?”(you know, the ones you invaded their country with)
How about the Baltics, were they “with Nazies?”
What about the South Caucasus or Central Asia, all “with Nazies” too?
Huh?
A lot of these countries need to be controlled and transformed into decency considering British/French were creating that bile in Middleast for centuries.
Russia is now taking leadership role in transforming Middleast. they just need more force. the economic decline of Middleast is very swift.
