On the Su-35 experiencing fifth-generation technology

59
The Russian Su-35 fighter has become a platform for improving the technology of the fifth-generation Su-57 aircraft, Sukhoi reported.

In Su-35 applied many advanced technologies. It is a kind of platform for the development of technical solutions used in the aircraft PAK FA (Su-57)
- Leads "Interfax" words of the employee of the press service of "Sukhoi".



On the Su-35 experiencing fifth-generation technology


This, in particular, is about the avionics complex, which helps the pilot to navigate in a difficult combat situation. With the help of radar and optical sensors, reconnaissance complex and ground control systems, the pilot receives real-time information about everything that happens around the aircraft. Earlier it was reported that the onboard electronics Su-57, if necessary, can take over most of the work on piloting the aircraft, freeing the pilot to perform a combat mission.

20 February, the company "Sukhoi" celebrated 10 years since the day of the first Su-35 flight. Heavy fighter generation 4 ++ is designed to gain air supremacy, it can carry up to eight tons of bombs and missiles. Su-35 detects targets at a distance of 400 kilometers, and in melee air combat its key advantage is super-maneuverability, provided by thrust vector-controlled engines, reports RG-Sil

    Very well. Technology development is a good thing. What about the second-line engine for PakFA? The fifth generation fighter will soon lose its relevance. If I were Russia and China, I would pass by the fifth generation and focus on new, breakthrough technologies that would lead to the sixth generation. It would be a strategic victory over the United States.

        It is clear that it is clear, but in my opinion, there is NOTHING worthy in the fifth generation. So far, we need to finish the fourth, increase the performance characteristics and think about something fundamentally new. It's like a shooter - from the time of the intermediate cartridge, NO ONE and ANYWHERE have advanced.

      Well, the designers know better, in the end, no one has yet been able to fully formulate the concept of the 6 generation, except for hypersound and stealth. On the 35, they can supply a second-stage engine, a radar, AVIONIKU from the 6-th generation. In reality, everything can be very different, and a completely different design of the airframe. It is even possible that this will be near space.

      Yeah ... why not immediately bother with a 10-generation fighter? Here, with the 5th generation, all countries have their own requirements, and in fact, the 5th generation serial fighter (closest to it) is the Raptor. The SU-57 is not in the series, the Chinese ... well, he’s of such a 5th generation as the toilet is a hadron collider. And in fact, while the fighter generation 5 in the serial version is only in the United States. I will not say anything about the F-35, maybe it's anything, just not a fighter of the same generation as the lizard.

          Dear, from what hangover did you decide that the SU-57 is a copy of the Raptor? Visual similarity? So it does not exist, from the word at all. The concepts are different. If the SU-57 was originally developed as a multi-purpose vehicle, then the lizard was created as a fighter to gain dominance in the air and only very recently, it was taught to work normally on land and on naval targets. This is the same as comparing a multipurpose submarine with an SSBN.

          Are you sure about the fifth generation of fighters? Judging by the comments, it’s more like discussing the next generation of iPhone. It’s only the “stubs” released a new generation, and two further follow up.

          When you are faced with a task, to perform certain functions, in a well-defined environment where the same constants work, the same requirements, the same tasks, you inevitably get exactly the same wheel that dozens invented thousand years ago, the Sumerians.
          Compare the appearance of the aircraft developed by different design bureaus in a terrible secret, and you will not find the differences. Strange, huh? And nobody rubbed at anyone. The formulas are the same. The task is the same. Physical constants on Earth, even in Africa, even in Holland. Hence the result. Here the plane for lunar flights will be completely different.

      These technologies were already worked out on the Tu-16, but the mattresses overslept it. But then we still did not have absolutely secure long-distance communication channels of air-mobile control centers - now we have such. We can even put the Tu-16 back into service from sludge - and each will be enough to defeat any of your meanest AUGs. Take a look at Wikipedia, the ignoramus how many of them we had - and after all, trained crews from the reserve will now be able to control them from the ground, remotely. Because of their health, they can’t fly into heaven, and from the earth they will comb you very nicely, because under the USSR they are well trained. Scratch turnips, whales!

      The problem of modern aviation has given rise to the reincarnation of piston attack aircraft. The unit price and the flight hour price of modern aviation are so high that it’s no longer possible to fight with it, only to carry around exhibitions. I believe that a hundred Su-27/30 or F-15 modernized by any AFAR and others like it are much more valuable for the defense of the state than a dozen or two F-22/35 or PakFA.

        And here I agree with you, it is unlikely that the Su-57 will be as golden as the F-22, it’s not particularly customary for us to mount defense enterprises here. This time.
        Aviation should be of two types:
        1) Aircraft of maximum performance (to ensure superiority over the enemy in local conflicts);
        2) Relatively cheap in the construction and operation of aircraft (for intensive military operations).
        1) we will have the Su-57, 2) we already have - the Su-30SM, and the Su-35S will also be included in them.
        This was the way the USSR went with the Su-27 and MiG-29 (as it turned out, we won’t go into it, that's not the point), we think, we’ll go the same way). These are all two).

            AI will appear in 100 years, or maybe even more ... and all this time what will we build? I repeat, do not confuse clear understanding and tasks with Wishlist.

              maybe in a hundred years, maybe in half a hundred years, that’s not the question. as seen by the air fleet (as I described above) and the MO and the UAC engineers. and when the possibility of drones with AI appears under the leadership of a directly living pilot, then the era of the sixth generation will come. I repeat, such a fundamental vision of our aircraft industry, unlike the western one, ours are not ready to give everything into the hands of AI.

              What they are trying to do now is called AI, it has nothing to do with it.
              Just because of the impossibility of understanding -
              what it is. What it is. Intelligence is that which is buried in man. but it’s impossible to look at one’s own insides and sort through them, trying to create something like that. Just like Munchausen could not pull himself by the hair from the swamp. One cannot understand oneself while being in oneself. It is possible only from the side, having another point of support. But then a person must become non-human.

                  I don’t understand what AI is. For the simple reason that no one (I think so) knows what intelligence is.
                  A person cannot invent what cannot fit into his imaginative thinking. At first, ANYTHING develops in his brain in the form of a picture. Man thinks not in formulas, but in images. To teach SOMETHING to think in images is impossible. It is possible only through the tedious and endless formalization of what you want to receive. But with this a person will always have insurmountable difficulties.
                  Try to formalize and put into the brain of that very creature (?) The concept of SKY. Or the river.

    If I were Russia and China, I would pass by the fifth generation and focus on new, breakthrough technologies that would lead to the sixth generation.

    It’s good that you are in your place. :)

    I do not want to offend anyone, but the criteria for generations are arbitrary. They supposedly must measure milestones in military aircraft construction, and are described by different requirements for aircraft. Which are formed proceeding from those. tasks (customer needs). Accordingly, there are no criteria for the 6th generation - there is no topic about him, and, accordingly, no aircraft. Yes, you can only try to predict what it can be, which is what design bureaus do based on the best practices and the expected expectations of the customer. And you won’t be able to jump over a generation. Unless, of course, "copy" someone else's technology, as the Chinese do. But here there are pitfalls - who are interested look for example about the reliability of Chinese engines. Next, there should be a material base for this breakthrough, a scientific reserve for the whole complex (to the plane), since the plane is not only a glider. And the integration of all arms of service will only get worse with further informatization. Yes, you can say that one of the conditions for the transition to the sixth generation will be near space, but this is only one of the conditions. There are no others. And the near future is not foreseen for the 5th generation has room to grow and its full potential is not revealed. If you understand not one of the aircraft declared as a fifth-generation aircraft, it does not reach it, at least by one parameter. Although each country individually can consider it 5, because each has its own vision of hostilities and, accordingly, its own representation. And whoever has a more accurate idea will judge leash time.
    And there is no sense in jet airplanes, where motor airplanes can be used either - it is not without reason that the Americans are refusing new airplanes to crawl future more promising ones, and they are leaving the B-52 once again. Although they are not cutting the military budget weakly, they can count the remaining money. And just let’s swell the money - it’s known how it ends (Example: one of the main reasons for the collapse of the USSR is a damaged economy).

      Milestones of generations are by no means arbitrary: a new generation aircraft should beat a previous generation aircraft in its initial configuration in 99 cases out of 100 duels. Those. the next generation aircraft becomes invulnerable to the previous one in an unmodified form.

        Well, it can be argued, in terms of a) the level of technology in one case or another b) means of destruction
        c) the combined arms concept. Well, it’s not clear what to take for the initial configuration, for example, the first flying SU-57 and the current version, the glider was radically redesigned or with the second-series engine and improvements at that time. In my opinion, the MIG-21 in the initial stages had enormous problems with the strength of the airframe (its life) and it was already in the series, and then it was changing urgently - the question is what to take for the initial one. Or MIG-29 are two versions of 1983 and 2015. So these are actually 2 completely different aircraft under the same name. Also by means of destruction and avionics, etc. Well, if you look at your option, then between the arquebus and the machine - 1 generation, and also years of improvements) I just give an example by the fact that some criteria in particular - stealth can disappear from the 5th generation criterion altogether, and for example, advanced AI will be added. Regarding stealth, let us recall Yugoslavia and the old Soviet missile of the C125 complex. So I lead to the fact that this is all far-fetched because the pilot skill, weather conditions, the suddenness of certain actions and a bunch of things are not taken into account. factors. Ideal conditions do not exist to say it is 99% superior to the previous one. Criteria sit in the heads of people and they invented them)

    the main postulates of the 6th generation are already formed and are listed here in the discussion: hyperspeed, stealth, AI (droneless), high-precision, atmosphere-stratosphere. but the main task of all the troops is to inflict unacceptable damage - the aircraft is slowly and confidently moving towards the missile.

    Well, about the 6th generation, you can argue with foam at the mouth, but all the experts who suggest about the requirements for a 6th generation airplane - they’re trying to predict what will happen. The real customers of the aircraft are the military of one country or another, and as they say
    who pays and orders music
    . The plans for the development of the 6th generation were announced only by the USA (they gave Lockhead Martin) and Russia (nothing was said specifically about the plane itself - it was just that scientific research was being conducted). I did not officially meet with requirements for them. So this is a hunch. More than most of the rest of the countries, you are also comfortable with the 4th generation, which are doing their job well in the current war.
    But laser weapons are problems with the laser installation itself, and there are two more problems with the power installation for it, the cooling system is three. Stealth - so the 5th generation should have it, etc. Show please the official requirements for it - not the press, but from the Pentagon or from the Russian Aerospace Forces (the latter will not be realistic because of secrecy and until the finished car appears we will not know). And besides, nobody put on the wing except the USA, prototypes do not count. SU-57, although a good car, but it still needs to be brought to mind from 3 to 5 years. The Chinese also have problems, although they said they were let into the series. Japan seems to have been blown away, but I don’t see who else could do the 5th generation.
    It’s too early to talk about the 6th generation - there is neither the material nor the technical base for a negative view, as I once again emphasize those tasks. I can also give different versions, for example, why don’t I take the ideal of AKI from the Batle universe of those - there are lazers and neuro controls .....
    Once again, I say that weapons are not being developed with the kandachka — but for specific purposes, no one (except the United States) will allocate money for mythical projects, but will you beat the fly with the intercontinental leash because it’s cool, and even more so a rocket for these goals to develop.
