in that case i apologize. For the sake of your info, defense conmputers have inhibited USB ports etc.

Mant things are comimn with block4, aswell as with Rafale F4 (including doftware defined radion called ERS-B already mounted on B301 so as to demonstrate fast datalink netwroking) etc.
Swiss will tell.

That’s Enterprise security 101.

Mobile dirty bombs in close proximity to your own troops. That would be really smart :stupid:

It’s just unfortunate that mentioning frequency is still not in habit of stealth discussion. The author doesnt seem to get my point :S.

There is no point debating RCS value without mention of what frequency they are taken. USAF said metal marble, Sukhoi said 0.3 sqm. Both can be true, just at which frequency they are taken and other possible condition that needs further clarification.

I think it’s universally assumed that the RCS is in xband for countering engagement radars. Just like average rcs would be the average of all operationally relevant angles when flying level (including the top and bottom aspect RCS in the calculation would be dumb).

BTW. Anyone else see what I saw in the photos above,. Yeeeouch!

Both are in Swotzerland and in Finland no?

On the other hand i could say that given the procliviry of F-Teens to dinish in ashes vs Rafale, dadadada…

Shall i remind you that F-35 and Rafale were once opposed in Netherlands and how close were quotations? F-35 certianly has advantages (it is easy to enter first while stealthy for example), but also some setbacks (unable to carry very big ammos etc.)

Please clarify “unable to carry very big ammos”… Because carrying 6 x 2000 bombs with 4 aam, or 24 x SDB with 4 aam is nothing to sneeze at.

The difference here is the F-35 can fly in a stealthy configuration and reach so many more areas the Rafale can’t even dream of. But both can carry a decent external load.

That is not what I am seeing in the video. The plane is too high and is going to miss the wires, so the pilot aborts the landing in the last second with an insane save that I would not bet many other fighters can perform. It is the pilot that voluntarily takes the plane to an extreme AoA to end the descent against the deck, not the plane wanting to backflip. Sorry but I see no evidence of what you say.

Two comments:

> Very nice demonstration of the canards in downwards deflection to keep the airflow attached to the wing + body instead of the other way around, as some may imagine they would do in order to lift the nose. Frankly all I see is a master piece of aero design, especially considering this is before the digital FCS of the Su-35..

I see the pilot intending to wave off, pulling up slightly then hitting the ground effect from the carrier deck, pitching his aircraft upward much higher than he anticipated or wanted. He then white knuckles it out of there.

How it probably should have looked… Cool, calm and in control.

OK

Hahaha good name! I guess we will see

Pants s#@ttingly scary…

If we’re talking carrier landings using this method at that AoA, the front landing gear will be damaged as the nose snaps down after the trap.

On a runway, the rear stinger is likely to strike the ground (expensive mistake given the radar in there).

Need margin for error, so this is about as crazy as those landings will ever get….

I read that Russia uses it’s best pilots for carrier ops due to the extreme difficulty in doing standard carrier landings with the Su-33. Doing insanely risky, high AoA landings with 0 margin for error is not something you’d ever trust Russia’s typical 30hours per year VVS pilots with. One small lapse in attention and the pilots will inadvertently pull a pugachev’s cobra right into the ground.

They are much better off using that valuable time training how to survive against far more advanced, stealthier, numerically superior adversaries supported by a fully integrated system of systems for as long as possible.

Impressive eodas view mode showing azimuth and heading indicators to targets so the pilot knows where to look…
