For Su-57 and J-20, they quickly prepare an opponent. Why does the Pentagon have a headache?

While we all continue to carefully monitor and analyze the situation in recent weeks in the Syrian theater of operations with genuine interest, where future deliveries of D-Damascus anti-aircraft missile systems of the C-300PS (or PMU-1) modification will be put under the “fat” question any attempt by the OVVS and the Western coalition fleets to conduct another massive missile attack on the most important fortified areas of the Syrian army and industrial objects of the republic, a surprise from Washington was outlined in the Asia-Pacific Strategic om direction. Here, the Pentagon, with the involvement of the lines of military-technical support of the allied countries of the United States, as well as foreign military sales, is preparing to challenge the actively strengthening regional domination of the tactical military-air component of the transitional and 5-th generations of the Russian and Russian Air Forces. This was announced 18 April 2018 of the year from the Reuters news agency, citing sources in the US Department of Defense and the company "Lockheed Martin".



According to the famous resource, at the moment, representatives of Lockheed, as well as high-ranking specialists from the United States Air Force, began consultations with the Japanese defense ministry regarding a project to develop a promising multipurpose 5 generation fighter for Japan’s Self-Defense Air Force based on existing products. This is a car combining the anti-aircraft potential of a fighter to gain F-22A "Raptor" air superiority and the advanced architecture of the elemental base and software of the on-board radio-electronic equipment of the inconspicuous Lightning II F-35A multi-purpose fighter.

This event can not be associated solely with the lobbying of US defense products about US officials from the Japanese Defense Ministry. The whole hitch is that the project of the Japanese 5-generation ATD-X fighter recently brought to construction and the first flight test of the technology demonstrator still has an uncertain future, since for the final adjustment of the future airframe, EDSU and weapons control complex of the future F-3 it is necessary allocations of more than 40 billion dollars. This amount should also include the cost of building the corresponding capacity of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries for the high-volume production of F-3. Consequently, the project ATD-X "Shinshin" is currently not coordinated with the five-year defense plan of the Ministry of Defense of Japan, which will be finalized only by the beginning of 2019 of the year; According to information from Reuters for 15 in November 2017, the work on the project is "frozen." Whether the defense ministry and the Japanese parliament agree to allocate such funds to continue the ATD-X project is still unknown.

A much simpler and less costly option is the direct purchase of Lokhidi aircraft kits of X-NUMX-generation F-5A X-type fighter from the Foreign Military Sales foreign military sales (FMS) for 35 million dollars per unit, their further assembly in workshops "Mitsubishi Heavy Industry", and then further contracts with "Lockheed" for the purchase of new hybrids F-135A and F-22A. Moreover, sacrifice their defense technological self-sufficiency to the Japanese is not the first time. For example, the purchase of 35 machines will cost Tokyo approximately 42 billion dollars, which is 5,7 times cheaper than just bringing the ATD-X program to production samples of the “first stage”. As for the hybrid F-7A and F-22A, which is now actively being imposed on the Japanese Defense Ministry and the Air Forces of Self-Defense, it, without a doubt, looks even more attractive to them.

It is well known that back in 2007, the Japanese side made a request to purchase promising X-NUMX-generation F-5A Raptor fighters from the US, but the US Congress rejected it because of the inadmissibility of transferring critical technologies; moreover, it was not even proposed to simplify its export version with the possibility of installing a less sophisticated Japanese on-board AFAR-radar J / APG-22, presented by 1 by MMIC-type transmitter-receiver modules based on gallium arsenide (GaAs). The Japanese have long dreamed of "Raptor", and now they are offered its more advanced modification with the network-centric "stuffing" from F-800A, and even without multi-billion infusions from its own budget! Naturally, all this looks extremely tempting, which was what Washington expected. Tokyo’s long-standing interest in American military equipment prohibited for export is for Lockheed Martin a real spare “jump airfield” in the event of an increasingly likely failure of the contract to sell F-35A to the Turkish Air Force. But these are only economic moments.

A much more important detail of such a proposal on the part of the Americans is Washington’s desire to establish parity in tactical combat potential aviation transitional and 5th generations with the Aerospace Forces of Russia and the Air Force of China in the western part of the Asia-Pacific region. In addition to the fact that the number of multi-purpose tactical fighters and transition-generation fighter-bombers Su-30SM, Su-30M2, Su-35S continues to increase every year at Russian Far Eastern air bases (Dzemgi, Domna, Central Angular, etc.) Chinese Avb - no less sophisticated J-10B, J-11B and J-16, and programs for the development / development of 5th generation machines - Su-57, J-20 and J-31 are in full swing. The first two vehicles have a huge range of more than 2000 km (depending on the combat load in the internal armament compartments and the presence of external underwing FTBs), which is about 2 times more than the F-35A sold on the Japanese side today.

The radars of these cars, which are distinguished by active phased array with increased energy potential, are ahead of the AN / APG-81 proposed by the Americans in the range of approximately 2 times. So, if H036 "Squirrel" is able to detect a target with 1,5 EPR - 2 sq. m at a distance of 350 - 400 km, lightning APG-81 does this only from a distance of 150 - 160 km. Moreover, we have a trump card in our hands - side-view antenna modules H036Б-1-01Л / 01Б, which bring the viewing sector to 270 degrees and allow us to scan parts of the airspace in the rear hemisphere. There is a “bonus” in the F-35A - an opto-electronic system with a distributed AN / AAQ-37 DAS aperture, represented by 6 high-resolution infrared sensors.

They will be able to detect Su-57 or J-20 from the contrasting torch of jet engines at a distance of more than a hundred kilometers; but there is one “but”: such a result can be achieved only in the afterburner modes of operation of the turbofans, while at the maximum the DAS capabilities will decrease to several tens of kilometers. As for the nomenclature of operating modes, here both our and Chinese radars have approximately equal capabilities with the APG-81: there are synthetic aperture modes (SAR), tracking of moving surface objects (GMTI), and possibly reverse synthetic aperture.

Even despite the fact that in the open press there is no official information about the possibility of using the receiving and transmitting modules of the H036 Belka station and Chinese radars in the mode of radiation of directional interference or bypassing the enemy’s interference using dips in the radiation pattern, in practice AFAR (unlike passive AFAR) allows it to be realized. Looking at such pale capabilities of the F-35A (in addition to low flight performance) supplied by the Japanese Air Force, it is not surprising that the States want to cross the Raptor and Lightning for the appearance of a much more dangerous tactical fighter equipped as the big-eared AN / ALR-94 raptor radiation warning / electronic reconnaissance station, as well as full-fledged “network” capabilities for the exchange of tactical information with other types of tactical aviation through radio channels MADL (for F-35A) and Link-16 (for linking to AWACS and Aegis aircraft ships (ships). The channel of information exchange IFDL, in order to preserve security in the advanced tactical unit of the US Air Force 5 generation, is likely to continue to be used only by F-22A crews. New details about the appearance of the advanced American “hybrid” for the Japanese Air Force will be known not earlier than 2020 of the year.

            Well, what are you, really, how small? In the first case, pathos, a bunch of all kinds of abbreviations, names, scattering of signs, prediction of events. And the point of the article is that everything is gone, we are in the pope, if we do not catch a couple of aliens and do not use their technologies. Oleg has a different story: if the article is not about “armadillos”, from the series “Let's put everything that is possible into armor”, then there are more simple arguments, there is no such imposition of our views .. And he writes carefully to others (not about ships) themes.
            Ryabov’s is even simpler: water is water, all articles are obtained with the combinations Ctrl + C, Ctrl + V, Ctrl + X, paragraphs and sentences are duplicated, and although there are a lot of letters, there is no information in the article, there is no style, there are no thoughts. Just a business, nothing personal.

But this is the rare case when Damantsev’s article wasn’t thought up, but there is a very real reason to brainwash him. The reason is stated in the article - the proposal to create at the expense of the Japanese a hybrid of two pseudo-fifth generation aircraft.
              And the author’s interpretation of these facts is quite cautious, he’s afraid to say directly that the amers already do not have enough resources to get, at the expense of their own efforts, finally, a fifth-generation aircraft.

                This is only Damantsev could come up with. Japanese ATD-X by no means pulls to replace the "predator". And to replace the F-35, too. The Japanese for themselves and for others showed that they are able to create a 5th generation aircraft, no one ever wanted it in a series. It makes no sense to invest $ 40 billion in this project. Especially knowingly losing in comparison with the F-35. And the engines there are American.
                the amers already lack the resources to obtain, at the expense of their own efforts, finally, a fifth-generation aircraft.

                Themselves invented, or who suggested ???
                No one has more F-22 and F-35 class aircraft. If Jews praise the "penguin" (higher than expected), then no words.

        Exclusively in the fantasies of the author and his admirers) Because manned aircraft are no longer considered promising for new generations of fighter aircraft. Now in the bowels of the US military-industrial complex the sixth generation is born. Unmanned. With no options. On completely new technologies.

        This article is essentially not about advanced aircraft, new generation technology, but according to the history type of the 4th generation fighter for the Japanese Air Force based on the F-16. At its technology base, the Mitsubishi group released a Japanese version of the F-16 called the F-2. Which was by no means the newest, was not the last word of aircraft. And so, a colonial product ...

        Apparently, Lockheed Martin does not give rest from the fantasies of this 80s-90s project. Yes, only the Japanese want to sculpt their new “zero”. After all, they were thrown at the time with the F-22. They didn’t want to deliver. There is no reason for them to do the F-22 now, when their project is developing steadily, new technologies are being developed. Engines will take, of course, in the West, not ours. Sensors will take. And they will try hardware and system integration themselves. They, of course, can be bent. But then really something worthwhile will have to be transferred to Japan. It is unlikely to be decided, I think. They have a peculiar relationship with the Japanese. They do not give the Japanese the key to technology key. From the word "in general".

        For the Yankees themselves, this project is bullshit. They have 6 generations of money to spare for a plane. And here is the fifth replica. This is absolute nonsense.

And they never return to the past (for example, skipping the unsuccessful 3rd generation in the USA, actually switching from 2nd to 4th, the same will happen with the F-35).

    Too expensive toys in the US are obtained? A non-trivial move, yapps for a little money (relatively) will be using a state-of-the-art technology to design a plane. As a result, they welded up on the F35, and there will be an alternative. Well done, you can’t say anything.

      Do not worry, “yapi” will find money for a new toy. Although it’s possible “the gingerbread truck on our street has already rolled over”, Japan will slow down the pace of launching new ships and submarines because of its Wishlist in aviation.

    A much more important detail of such a proposal on the part of the Americans is Washington’s desire to establish parity in the combat potential of tactical aircraft of the transitional and 5th generations with the Russian Aerospace Forces and the Chinese Air Force in the western part of the Asia-Pacific region.
    Yes, in my opinion, they don’t need it))) They are the leaders of the race for the fifth generation (there are four hundred combat units, and only the gigimon ... And this year the series will go two hundred cars a year. will be added)
    So they are not striving for parity, not parity, dear Ger Damantsev.

    - In fact, the Japanese initiative to fund Lockheed Martin a new hybrid stealth, combining the advantages of the F-22 and F-35, is very beneficial primarily for the United States. We recall: in recent years, senators, members of the defense commission, “tearing their hair off in the ass,” in vain efforts to somehow correct the mistake made by Robert Gates (instead of the 391 F-22 required by the Air Force generals, he allowed only 187 for combatant aviation units ) But estimates showed that despite Lockheed Martin’s desire to re-deploy the mothballed F-22 production line, this renewal process would result in approximately $ 50 billion.

    And then the Japanese initiative together with japanese money- Naturally, then this new airplane (with any modifications) can rivet with might and main for the needs of the US Air Force!

    So, IMHO, this mutually beneficial Japanese initiative will certainly find its response in the US leadership ... smile

    It seems that initially the information was provided from British sources.
    No one says that Indians are ready to buy something, especially since there is nothing to buy.
    However, it passes with the following formulations.

    Detection of aircraft (especially at a distance of tens of kilometers) using opto-location stations is possible only in the absence of cloud cover. Moreover, the OLS includes not only optical sensors, but also laser rangefinders. Su-27, Su-30, Su-35, Su-57 and F-35 are equipped with OLS, F-22 - no.

    Airborne radars are used for all-weather aircraft detection, so the capabilities of fighters to detect the enemy are compared based on the characteristics of their radars, rather than optoelectronics (which is mainly intended for close air combat).

    The capabilities of airborne radars with AFAR of both domestic and western production are almost equal to each other (low power mode, synthesized aperture, REP, passive radar).

    The only difference is in the effective dispersion area (which determines the detection range by radar) of aircraft, in which the leaders are F-22, F-35 and Su-57 with EPR 0,2-0,5 sq. M with ammunition in the internal compartments against 10-15 sq. m have Su-27, Su-30 and Su-35 with ammunition on the external sling.

    With one amendment - after turning on the onboard radar, the F-35 and Su-57 completely lose their advantage over the Su-27, Su-30 and Su-35. The stealth mode requires a radar view of the airspace with the help of a DRLOU aircraft, which (being a low-maneuverable aircraft with a huge EPR and glowing like a searchlight in the radio range) is very vulnerable to ultra-long-range air-to-air missiles created on the basis of C- self-guided anti-aircraft missiles 400 with a range of up to 600 km.

    If the Su-27, Su-30 and Su-35 will be armed with such missiles, then the F-22 and F-35 will have to fly with the onboard radars switched on without covering the AWACS aircraft. As a result, air superiority will be won by those planes who have long-range missiles in long-range combat and better thrust-to-weight ratio in close combat.

    According to these two parameters, the leaders are Su-35 and Su-57 with RVV DB missiles (300 km) and all-round ATTs, in second place is F-22 with AIM-120D missiles (180 km) and single-shot ATTs, in third place is Su- 27 and Su-30 with RVV database and without UVT, in fourth place - F-35 with AIM-120D and without UVT.
    At the same time, the F-22 in the close battle loses to the rest of the fighters due to the lack of OLS for guiding short-range missiles.

        Su-27 takes on board the P-270 "Mosquito" weighing 4,5 tons, he will take on board the anti-aircraft 40Н6Е in a TPK with a total weight of 2,6 tons with a homing seeker - like two fingers on asphalt. Do not forget also the Mig-31, which provides a stratospheric launch of heavy rockets at supersonic speeds, including the Iskander-M weighing 3,8 tons.

        So launching the 40Н6Е in the air-to-air mode at a distance of 600 km (outside the AWACS detection zone) on a low-maneuverable AWACS aircraft is quite possible. On the ascending portion of the flight path, radio command guidance of the rocket from the carrier aircraft to the radar of the AWACS radar is carried out, on the descending side is the passive homing of the missile to the radar of the AWACS radar, and on approach to the target, the active radar homing of the rocket with the help of the RGSN is carried out.

        And taking into account the large kinetic energy of a rocket flying at a speed of 2 km / s and attacking from the upper hemisphere, its available overload when approaching the target will be at the level of the available overload of American air-to-air missiles, which ensures that 40Н6Е is not intercepted.

        What kind of electronic warfare is possible against the 40H6E centimeter-wide RGSN from the AWACS side, equipped with a decimeter-range radar? laughing

            The flight time of 40H6E to a range of 600 km with a supersonic stratospheric launch along a ballistic trajectory will be 10 minutes. During this time, AWACS will have time to fly from its original point no further than 150 km. Consequently, the line of the air launch 40Н6Е should be located at a distance of 450 km from this point.
            Acceleration of the MiG-31 from the cruising speed 950 km / h to the maximum speed 2700 km / h at an altitude of 18 km will take about 5 minutes, during which time the MiG will fly about 200 km.
            A bomber-type aircraft is detected by a modernized AWACS at a distance of 650 km. therefore, the AWACS aircraft have no chance to escape from 60Н6Е when it is launched from the MiG-31.

            Question from March 2 of this year - Do the “Dagger", "Poseidon" and "Petrel" exist? bully

            Once again, the electronic warfare is conducted by AWACS in the radiation range of its radar, which does not coincide with the radiation range of the 60Н6Е РГСН from the word at all.

    Why, when flying aircraft in the same group, turn on the radars of all aircraft in turn - in order to make it easier to recount? laughing

    You probably wanted to say that when flying in a group, only one F-35 can turn on the radar to not disclose the total number of aircraft in the group.

    But there is an ambush - as soon as one F-35 radar starts to operate, immediately Sushek radars will switch from the overview mode to the scanning mode of the radiation sector of the F-35 radar, and with a much higher resolution than in the overview mode.

    After that, an RVV-DB missile with a range of highly maneuverable targets in the front hemisphere 35 km will be sent to the F-75 emission sector, to which F-35 will have no answer, since the range of the AIM-120D for a highly maneuverable target in the front hemisphere is only 45 km - the radars of Sushek will copy the F-35 at a distance twice / three times greater.
