I guess so, that would be like what – 10% of mission time?

Dont know what percentage…should be something around that figure.It will start from the time from when the controllers get into the plane…taxi..take off…fly to station…and then again the same while coming back.

Don’t know. Is there a need for it?

Well…cant say…unless i fly(or sit) in that situation for sometime.. its really awkward sitting when your chairs tilted sideways and that too at what angle..25-30 degrees(?)…might require a supply of diclofenac gel for the neck 😀

Because they want to fly slow in order to stay on station during most missions. That implies high angle of attack, especially on jets such as the Embraer 145 which Greece operates. Hence the steps to make the crew sit horizontal during slow cruise.

So if i got it correctly what you meant…then during level flight or even during taxiing on the runway,the controllers would be seated at an awkward angle to the floor?Or are the seats adjustable like that?

that is why Pakistan should not trust US much. China will always give supply steady.

Without going through any reasons like waziristan….its understandable for you to say this…. 😉

Su-35 uses the N-035 Irbis radar with the EKSV computer system, OLS-35/KOLS-35 IIR/TV/IRST, MAK-35 Display system (2 MFI-35 9×12 inches AMLCD, MFPU, IKSh-1M wide HUD plus one back-up MFD), KRNPO-35 nav/attack system (with the LINS-2000 laser gyro INS) and the L-175M Khibiny-M EW system between other known pieces of equipment.

Fiber Optic databuse arquitecture, center-federal computer arquitecture and Multi-Sensor Integration logic.

What?the Irbis is already ready?Wasnt it in the contract for fitting the MKIs with it?

MLD,thanks a lot for the info and the link.

MLD,

Current Su-35 advertisment talks of a 3M54A “Club” Missile. There is no currently plans or physical “airborne launched” Club, but sure it could be done…if not, why to advertise it?

The airlaunched variant of the Klub already exists.

“Reportedly, an air-launched variant is being examined by the Indian Navy to arm it’s long-range Tu-142M maritime patrol aircraft.”
