Elements of OEIS (optical-electronic integrated system) on the Su-35S-1:

Interesting. Thanks.

Any info available on the OEIS?

The Mi-28 has a cool ambient air inductor that allows cooler air to mix with the engine exhaust before it is vented downward.

Apparently another function is to drive any missile that achieves a lock, away from the rotors towards the armoured cabin (away from any vital parts) and it also marginally aids the lift performance.

According to the CEO of OPK, “Russian Helicopters” is considering offering India licence built production and the right to re-sell to 3rd parties as part of any deal. This applies to the Mi-28, Mi-26 and Ka-226

And why isn’t the exaust wents directed upwards instead of downwards:confused:

What do you mean? Because of heat signature?

The original plans for the An-124-300 were for a stretched fuselage with some elements from the An-225

Some related news…

There were pics of some Su-27s with a coated canopy but I think that was more of a trial on a few aircraft only.

On the MiG-35…

Chances are it will be ordered by the Ru-AF. There’s talk of an order ranging from 30-70 aircraft. If the order does materialise, it could be in the form of a MiG-29M2 with elements from the MiG-35 project.

Its trolling. You specficaly stated bribes, thats trolling AND flame baiting.

“Seahawk” is probably right and he’s not the only one who thinks Rafale is the favorite. Disregarding everything else, for starters the Rafale is a more complete fighter-bomber than the Typhoon…..the emphasis is on bomber / strike aircraft since that is what the IAF is looking for. The air-air capability is secondary.
