Can the Su-30 MKK fire Kh-22 or Kh-15, furthermore how many it can carry. Acquiring Tu-22M3 seems to be a good idea provided the right kind of missiles are available.

Has any company/country practically demonstrated a radar that can detect the F-22. To what degree the error in location-estimation has been reduced.

but yes, they would need to make mods to the FBW software. thats probably why the chinese J11s dont fly or handle the same as russian built Su27Sks (according to russian test pilots).

In a negative or positive way.

It will be a long time before Russia will be able to build integrated circuits to support a server like the Silicon Graphic’s Altix family of chips. The real question is, how long has this technolgy been accessible to organizations that need it, like the NSA, CIA, etc.. Production quantities are not required and prices of tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars -per chip are spent! My estimate is at least “ten years!!”
I remember working at AMI back in 1968 (I think) when North Korea captured the USS Pueblo. All of a sudden our company picked a contract to build a series of chips. Everybody who worked on the project in the company required a security clearance. (Can you imagine the difficulty of being twenty-five years old and having to try and find out the address of where you went to kindergarden in another city twenty years and, the school no longer exist!)
What a lot of people do not realize is that Intel is NOT the leading edge in technology, just the leader in micro proscessors. Intel’s contribution is increasing the “yields” thereby decreasing the price and making circuits that are oriented towards specific markets ie. -PC’s. It has become a broad market but when it started it was a “nitche” market.

While I have learned (recently -humble pie) such micro processors are connected in “some” parallel arrangement, this server delivers over 3.0 Gigabytes per second of sustained I/O bandwidth. A through put speed of 2.0 Gigahertz. The clocking speed for the system is 10.5 Gigahertz!!! There are circuits that integrate the processors to a massive memory! Altix 350 supports such shared memory up to 192GB with as few as one processor.

Adrian, What do you mean by clocking speed of system to be 10.5 GHz. SGI’s Altix family of servers and clusters is based upon Intel Itanium 2 CPU having a maximum frequency of 1.6 GHz.

LPI radar is simply CDMA technology. The problem of detecting LPI radar may not be the same as de-encryption (which requires huge processing power). All one needs is underlying frequency hopping mechanism, though it is a difficult probelm in it’s own right.

Did India ever thought of performing some surgery on R-77 to improve it’s performance. India’s technical capabilities seemed to have matured for such an endeavour.

Since my new computer will actually have a graphics card, I’ve got a question for you guys in here. With the following specs, will FS2004 and/or LOMAC run?

512MB of 333MHz DDR RAM
2.8 GHz Pentium 4 through an 800 FSB
128MB Mobile ATI RADEON 9700 Pro Graphics card

Any thoughts?

You should have gone for AMD A64 based laptop. A64 is right now the best CPU for gaming.

A few moths ago – in one of the other threads – I speculated that with in ten years China will overtake Russia in aviation, quite a few people disagreed. Now it seems that ten years was bit of an over estimation. Russia better concentrate all of it’s efforts in PAK-FA rather than doing incremental improvements in Su-27 series and find it self hopelessly left behind than its neighbors and rest of the world.

if the basic algorithm is well known, then most countries can develop something resembling this passive radar.
