lol… reading the title what I remember is this A-5 😀

emmm… just want to asking…
could we put and integrate AESA radar to older generation such as F-16A/B or early mirage 2000 ? and will the cost worth it ? will it make them able to fight against says…. f-16 block 50, f18f and such ?

and vice versa perhaps ? :confused:

41% of the US defense budget is to pay for operations and maintenance. A portion of that 41% is the cost of keeping hundreds of facilities open — nearly a facility for each congressional district — unnecessary facilities — $ billions of unnecessary facilities.

The Base Realignment Commission was a good idea, but BRAC has been corrupted by Congressmen and Senators who don’t want the base in their district to close.

try to tell that to the gentlemen at the congress :p

Work on a Hypersonic missile (mach 12-13) has begun according to the head of “Tactical Missiles” Corporation….it’s a separate project from the Brahmos-II

http://lenta.ru/news/2011/08/18/hyper/

would the missle still manuverable at that speed :confused:

Sukhoi tells of T-50 not as of YF-22 analog, but, more likely, as of first F-22 EMD aircrafts

so 1997 -> 2003

and – “Uverennost'”

what is EMD :confused:

The new Russian air guided missiles

Tactical Missiles Corporation completes the creation of a new generation of precision weapons. New class of guided missile (SD) General Purpose (mngogotselevyh) comprise a number of developments :

The modular product range missiles for high combat effectiveness during operations on a wide range of purposes due to the possibility of using different types of combat equipment and guidance systems:

X-38MAE – Inertial + active radar;

X-38MKE – + inertial satellite navigation;

X-38MLE – Inertial + semi-active laser;

X-38MTE – Inertial + thermal imaging.

Half the mass of the rocket is powerful warhead (250 kg), which can be equipped with battle gear high-explosive/fragmentation (OFBCH) or penetrating (PrBCh) type – the Kh-38MAE; 38MLE X and X-38MTE or cluster warhead (KBCH) – missile X-38MKE.

I never heard such missile using cluster warhead… what is the application for ? cluster is bomblette isnt it ? while the missle fly onto an object, not over it so how it release its cluster then ?
