Chinese designers have expanded the line of aircraft DRLO

The Chinese defense industry has made a breakthrough in the field aviation The radar, replacing the stations with mechanical scanning with systems with an active phased array, the newspaper reports MIC.

“The specialists of the CETC corporation created a three-coordinate early warning radar with AFAR, i.e. radar, providing electronic scanning in height and azimuth, "- said in a publication.

In the middle of 2014, there were reports in the media about the adoption of a new version of the “medium aircraft” DRLO with the KJ-500 index (“Kunjing-500” / Kongjing-500), based on the Shaanxi Y-9 transport. Unlike the KJ-200 version with a log-like radar, the new aircraft has a round fixed antenna on the dorsal mast.

According to the newspaper, the main (estimated) characteristics of the aircraft are: “The target detection range is 400 km, the maximum take-off weight is 62 t, the maximum speed is 660 km / h, the cruising speed is 550 km / h, the practical ceiling is 10 400 m, the maximum flight duration - 10,5 h, maximum distillation range - 5 600 km. The crew of four or five people. "

KJ-500 entered service 76-th regiment of the 26-th aviation division of the PLA Air Force and naval aviation.

After adopting the KL-500 complex of the PLA Air Force, they show tremendous results in all the exercises held. KJ-500 is capable of detecting a fourth-generation fighter of any state; moreover, in some cases even the most advanced fifth-generation fighters cannot hide from it,

If this is not a stuffing, then I want to ask experts - does Russia have this?

News from June 2014:

KRET specialists created the first radar in Russia with AFAR (active phased array) - Zhuk-MA, it was upgraded to the Zhuk-A model for the MiG-35 fighter. Radars are developed by the enterprise Fazotron-NIIR and NIIP them. Tikhomirova.

And the first operational radar model with the Epaulet-A AFAR developed for the PAK FA was presented by JSC VV Tikhomirov Scientific Research Institute of Instrument Making at MAKS-2005.

Thank you! So, if the Chinese defense industry made a breakthrough in the field of aviation radar, then Xi Jinping is Santa Claus' favorite deer.

As far as I understand, we should have it in the form of an A-100 Premier airplane ...

A-100 "Premier", which in its combat capabilities should significantly surpass the existing A-50. It is reported that the new aircraft complex will be equipped with an antenna with an active phased array. As Colonel-General Alexander Zelin, Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Air Force noted in 2011, the new A-100 aircraft complex will be created on the basis of a modernized version of the IL-76 - IL-476, the production of which is being developed in Ulyanovsk at the facilities of the Aviastar-SP plant. This machine should be developed by 2016.

Andrei, correct if I am mistaken - the A-100 is still hanging?

That's right ... and there is not much information on work on this aircraft today ... so far we have 4 A-50U in service, which are transition vehicles from A-50 to A-100 ...
They promise to complete all work on the A-100 this year ... while only the laboratory is flying - "Premier 476" based on the A-50.

So, my sclerosis does not change me - I remember that we have already discussed this topic.

Fake, There must be a crew of at least 10-12 people. At least 3-4 crew members. Other technical specialists (watch, listen, etc., etc.).

You're right. In the 1960s, China acquired several An-12 military transport aircraft from the USSR, and then a license for their production. Serial production of these aircraft in the Middle Kingdom was established under the designation Shaanxi Y-8. The Shaanxi Y-9 is designed as an extended version of the Shaanxi Y-8F with increased payload and flight range.

Duc ... China is. They had a bomber suspiciously similar to our Tu-16, and at first the fighters were also suspiciously similar to something.
True, in those days, China still bought licenses.

The Chinese have removed the "porch".

And the veranda, on their modifications, was not native, Anovskaya, but elongated, with Tu-16

The Chinese demonstrate how much more can be drawn from Soviet structures: An-12; An-26. The same age as the Fantomas, C-130, everything is being updated. And very much in demand.

The “glass cabin” of many aircraft manufacturers is the norm, but for Russia, for some reason, an achievement! It would be nice to become the norm here too!
