Media: Su-35 can upgrade to fifth-generation aircraft

88
Russia and India intend to jointly upgrade the Su-35, bringing its performance to the fifth-generation fighter. If this idea turns out to be realized, the updated combat vehicle can become one of the leaders in its class, according to the Japanese edition of The Diplomat.

As noted in the article, the previously voiced idea of ​​creating a fifth-generation fighter for India based on the Su-57 still hung in the air, so the parties are simultaneously working on an alternative option - a deep modernization of the Su-35, which today belongs to 4 ++ combat vehicles. The obvious advantage of this step is the relative cheapness.



Media: Su-35 can upgrade to fifth-generation aircraft


If the reports on the development of the fifth-generation platform based on the Su-35 are correct, their results can be intriguing and lead to the emergence of the best-in-class fighter
- the article says. The standard design of the Su-35 is fully consistent with the characteristics of the fifth-generation fighter except for the lack of secrecy. Apparently, talking about modernization, the military has in mind this component.

It is noteworthy that similar attempts in the world aviation already undertaken. For example, due to the fact that the United States does not want to export its fifth-generation fighter F-22 Raptor, Boeing modified the F-15E. The result is an F-15SE Silent Eagle - a variant of a fighter with a reduced frontal radar cross section, which is painted with a special radio-absorbing paint.

At the same time, stealthiness did not make the fifth-generation fighter of the F-15E, whereas for the Su-35 this would be a serious step for upgrading the class. Even more value to the fighter can be given if you equip it with missiles created specifically for the Su-57. In particular, a new air-to-air missile is being developed on the basis of the P-37, capable of hitting targets at a distance of 400 kilometers, reports RG-Sil

    ... considers the Japanese edition of The Diplomat.

    They surely know everything))) It is impossible to upgrade it until the 5th generation, you can only add a couple of pluses to the fourth, is it only necessary? Although if the goal is to get money from the Indians, then maybe there is a reason.)))

      If the aircraft will easily see the ef35 and 22 at a distance of hundreds of km., Will have a cruising speed higher than the speed of sound, will have weapons with a range of defeat f35 and f22 - 400 km, then its "invisibility" will not be the most important factor.
      It is important to be the first to see and hit the target. Be able to get away from enemy missiles.
      So that the modernization of su35 is quite real.

        Modernization of the Su-35S is definitely a good step to improve the already excellent good but he will not become a 5th generation aircraft.

        The author of the article hardly really understands what stelth technology is. This is not just some kind of glider packing using radio-absorbing materials, it is a completely different glider system, with precisely defined angles, which do not give returns to the radiation source. In addition, he must have not only external, but also internal weapon compartments, because the suspension also increases the EPR and the whole meaning of stealth is lost. In addition, the airplane must be invisible in the infrared range, i.e. we are talking about engine nozzles.

        Based on the foregoing, we see that the concept of the fifth generation fighter so far corresponds only to the F-5. He has both cruising serhsound, and super-agility, and of course elements to reduce visibility in all ranges. Su-22, F-57 and J-35 with a stretch fall under the 20th generation, thanks to radar stealth. But their thermal stealth, a decent number of internal compartments, as well as cruising supersonic so far leave much to be desired ... request

                Think right. Yes Due to the all-angular deviation of the nozzles, the presence of special slats and a fully rotatable vertical tail catch, the Su-57 has even greater super maneuverability than the F-22. wink

          And what is wrong with the su-57 cruising supersonic sound? As far as I know, even the su-35 has this function (1400 km / h), and on the su57 engines have more thrust (9500 kg / s versus 8800u su-35), and the plane itself is lighter . And this is with the engines of the first stage. About the internal compartments, it’s also not clear what you blurted out. There are no flat nozzles, that’s yes. But they eat up the engine thrust and do not allow the nozzles to be deflected all-round.

            Su-35 has a cruising supersonic total M = 1,1 (and it is not clear with what kind of suspension)
            the mass of the Su-57 is greater than the Su-35 (normal takeoff 27 and 25 tons, respectively), the engines are the same. The speed is determined not only by the mass and thrust of the engine, but also by the cross section of the airframe.

        The issue of upgrading the Su-35 went IMHO for one and only reason: no one is going to share the production technology of the T-50, FGFA or Su-57 with India as you name it. There will be no 5th generation made in India. It is secret. So they are trying to find candy where it is not there, although the Su-35 is a good airplane, if you can’t tell me. hi

            Yes, you can, but often the creators don’t say that. Even the Super Hornet is considered a new aircraft, and not a modification of the base F / A-18. Also, the Su-35S has its own index, and not for example just a modernized Su-27.

        Well, let's start with the fact that it’s not “invisibility” (it’s not the smartest brand given to journalists by the F-117), but LITTLE LINE. Secondly, in history there is not a single reliable case when radars were able to fix aircraft with stealth technology (modern radars, including). Therefore, so far these may be just our assumptions with you. hi About cruising supersonic agree. But this is hardly a mandatory requirement for the 5th generation. For, as far as I know, the same Su-57 and F-35 are not able to achieve it without afterburner, but nevertheless, all well-known experts attribute them to the 5th generation.

              Lieutenant Colonel George Anichich himself, a direct participant in the decline of F-117, said that they were driven by radar. From a distance of about 20 km - i.e. almost point blank. They shot from 11 km, after several unsuccessful attempts to capture escort. If F-117 was a “normal” plane, they would have been seen for 80 kilometers at least.
              S-125M Neva-M (from which they lowered Nighthawk) equipped with equipment for television-optical sighting and tracking of the Karat-2 target, which allows tracking and firing of targets without radar radiation into space. The equipment appeared after the Vietnam War, when jamming by EW aircraft made radar guidance impossible. But I doubt very much that through it at night high in the sky you can see a black plane.

        the problem is that there are no containers on the Su-57, there is a built-in weapons compartment (like on a bomber). Similar to the F-22/35, the Chinese J-20 or the Russian S-37 Golden Eagle. How not to pervert over the glider, why not cover the plane, and the suspension of existing missiles on external pylons will immediately reduce all efforts to nothing.

                Okay, let's go on the other side. In order to talk about the launch of anti-aircraft missiles in general, you need to find the target itself and for this, your defense industry launches, and the Ministry of Defense takes into service and puts on duty, for example, radars of the Sky family, which include meter-range complexes (like and decimeter and centimeter). When you know where to aim and how much time is there, then you can choose the means of destruction, from the availability, most suitable for destroying a specific target.

                  in order to launch a rocket, the target must be taken to escort the SNR. All missile defense systems of the air defense system, the radar of all planes and the seeker of all missiles, work in centimeter. Further comments are said to be superfluous. It’s not enough to know that “somewhere there is something”, you still need to “aim”.
                  All meter radars are detectors, not guidance stations. In the same way, you can see stealth, for example, optics from a spacecraft, but you can’t do anything with it.

                    If all missiles were aimed at the target only with the help of radio waves and all planes and anti-aircraft systems were equipped exclusively with radars, then I would agree with you. But, fortunately, there are other guidance methods. I repeat, the main thing to know is where and where, and then you can choose what and how. hi

                      I am sure that you imagine worse than me that stealth is not "invisible", but just an inconspicuous aircraft. Also, you know that the “eyes and ears of air defense” are radars. Only they provide the required "range." Of course, there are also optics and heat direction finders, but their range is an order of magnitude less. A missile with a medium-long range IR-GOS (for example, R-27T / ET), after launch, must also be carried out using a radar, carry out radio correction, otherwise on one inertial it will go to where the target has already gone and the “head” simply will not find her. Also, you are well aware that stealth is a set of measures, including those to reduce IR visibility. The emphasis on radar signature is made precisely because most modern weapons use radar in one way or another
                      As a result, we can say that stealth technology significantly reduces the air defense capabilities, sharply limiting it in terms of means and range of destruction. Stealth aircraft do not need much - to go unscathed to the lines of using their weapons and go home as a whole. For that matter, then near the “stealth" the usual centimeter radar will also break through, thanks to its energy - if someone crazy would suddenly think of flying right above the air defense system’s position. The whole feature of the stealth is to make the life of the air defense forces as “pleasant” as possible and to use weapons first.

                        That's almost the same thing, the accuracy of a meter radar is quite enough to bring a link of air defense fighters to a target at a distance of effective use of weapons or to transmit preliminary target designation to "silent" air defense systems (you can eat a dish on the table).

      Because Indians desperately need a 5th generation airplane. But FGFA is not ready and will be ready xs when. And the Su-35 is an excellent aircraft and if it pulls up even more characteristics, it will feel great like a 5th generation aircraft and at the same time it will cost not very much and you can make it in the shortest possible time.

    Washed off in this. There are two projects with the UAE and Hindus on this topic. Due to the fact that we already have the Su-57, then there is specifically how to modernize the Su-35. But for our money we don’t want to do this and are waiting for who will pay it (as in the case of the F-15). Although for the Russian Air Force such a plane would be very necessary.

      IMHO, only if judged theoretically, then start the battle from distances over hundreds of kilometers, then the Raptor will be the winner. Due to the more accurate operation of the AFAR radar, it itself remained less visible and shot down that missile with a large radius AIM-120D. But if we are talking about near distances, then almost all of Flanker's trump cards are already here. Even UVT nozzles will not be a good argument on the 22nd, because those of the 35th, and unlike the Raptorsky ones, deviate in all planes, and we already know about the integral unstable glider of the Su-27 family, famous for its high maneuverability. But all this in theory, in real conflict (God forbid), everything will be decided not even by pilots, but systems and circumstances above them.

          And without an avax, he won’t even fly, not individual planes will fight each other, but the air armies. The first role will be played by how these armies are organized, equipped and coordinated. Systems such as AWACS, electronic warfare systems, air defense systems, attack aircraft and drones will all work together. And who will be better organized, equipped and harmonized will win. F22 or Su-35 is only part of the large mechanism that conducts the battle.

        here it means not who beat anyone in battle, but distinctive features of the airplane itself, a set of features by which the machine belongs to a particular generation. For example, if we consider cars, they all also belong to different classes: budget sedan, executive class limousine. You can overtake a limousine on a budget sedan, but this does not make it a limousine. Something like this)

    Russia and India intend to jointly upgrade the Su-35 aircraft, bringing its characteristics to the fifth generation fighter.

    Su 35 - they will upgrade to the 5th generation) - they will change the glider (since this is one of the foundations of the 5th generation), install a new radar and avionics - in the end we get Su 57 !! )))
    But, of course, the Su 35 has a modernization potential.

    WHY ARE THE MITCHER IN THE VIEW OF INDIA? A suitcase without a pen. They’ll take out their souls. Who else shares modern technology with them? It is modern! Any fools?
    NOBODY, ANY COUNTRY WILL TRANSFER THEM to the production technology of new aircraft engines, radars with an active phased array, modern avionics, and much more !!! What they require for the "joint version" of the T-50.

    Some structures only stick to the dough. These innovators will sell anything for loot. AND SUBSTANTIATE!

    My opinion is IT is betrayal, wrecking. "Good intentions ..."

India is in disputes and does not understand the terms of reference (they still do not understand what they need) and especially what catches the eye is the price. It seems that the Indians need a cheap version of the 5th generation and the joint modernization of the Su-35, to almost the fifth generation, is quite satisfactory.

But all this in theory, in real conflict (God forbid), everything will be decided not even by pilots, but systems and circumstances above them.


    It is theoretically on paper that the F-22 has an advantage over long distances. But in fact .. Do you think that the maneuverability of an air target does not affect the chance of its destruction? Any anti-aircraft gunner knows that a sharp maneuver of the target can reduce the chance of missiles getting to zero. Missiles do not constantly go to the target, there is a so-called tracking error, depending on the amplitude of the signals and the guidance method, corrections are made at the target at certain intervals, only the angle the capture is very small, with a sharp maneuver, the target will exit the capture, at long distances, when there is a margin of time for the pilot’s reaction, he uses the maneuver, EW and LTC, as a result the missile will easily lose its target. The result in long-range combat will be one, the Raptor will spend all the missiles. Of course, everything will depend on the qualification and combat experience of the target pilot. But I doubt that inexperienced pilots fly on the SU-35. And in close combat, all the trump cards are for Flanker, I agree, but I think that after the release of long-range missiles, the Raptor pilot, after seeing that the target is not hit, will go to the base without afterburning in the afterburner. In general, there will again be child comparisons of who are stronger alone. In real life, when the Raptor starts an attack and if it finds itself, then rockets from another Su-35 will fly to it, it’s naive to think that our planes will fly alone, and he will have to turn on afterburner and dump, never knowing if his missiles have reached the target, and the big question will be able does he get away from our missiles ..

    The standard design of the Su-35 is consistent with the characteristics of the fifth generation fighter with the exception of a lack of stealth. Apparently, when talking about modernization, the military also have in mind this component.

    You can, of course, put S-shaped air intakes, paint with paint, more composites .. and without a weapon the car will completely pass for the 5th generation. But as soon as the weapons were attached - all its "stealth" is covered with a copper basin. The Su-35 is not the plane into which the internal armament compartment can be integrated .. You can, of course, put two invoices, like conformal tanks of the same Silent Needle, and hang one melee rocket in them .. but what is this will the plane be so short? Bullshit people suffer
