The program PAK DA for Russia is more important than the program Su-57
Strategic bombers flash in the press much less fighters. Although they are of interest, nevertheless, all other things being equal, it will more often flash and fall into a piggy bank. news About Su-57, than about the new strategic complex PAK DA. However, to protect the state, this particular aircraft is much more important, and it should be given much more attention.
Su-57 is the main newsmaker in the secret confrontation between new aviation complexes. There is great interest in him. At the moment when Turkey talks about "another aircraft" instead of the possible loss of the F-35, the idea of a "Sukhoi" arises.
However, for Russia, a promising set of strategic long-range aviation plays an equally important role. After all, it will lay down the main task of deterring a potential enemy.
15 February this year, it became known that the developers successfully defended the so-called project. "80 Products". And before that, 29 of January, the chief designer of PJSC "Tupolev" Alexander Konyukhov said that the PAK DA will be created in the next five to seven years.
For the first time, information about a new long-range strategic bomber appeared in 2008 year - at that time, Dmitry Medvedev took over as president Vladimir Putin. It was assumed that the new promising complex should change at once three strategists - Tu-22М, Tu-95MS and Tu-160. This was said in 2010 by Major General Anatoly Zhikharev, commander of long-range strategic aviation. At the same time, he added that in the 2025-2030 years, the proposed new bomber should join the Air Force.
In 2013, there was evidence that the PAK DA should be built according to the scheme of a flying wing. The maximum take-off weight is assumed to range from 130 to 145 tons. Flight range - about 15 thousand. Km.
The new complex will be equipped with four engines, which, in turn, will be the development of the Tu-160 NK-32 engine line. The power of the new power plant will increase the thrust by about 10 percent. Also, perhaps, in the design will be used developments on the Su-57: in particular, avionics.
According to preliminary data, the developers of the "strategist" focused on stealth. In particular, all weapon will be placed in the internal compartments.
The bomber itself, as previously noted, will be subsonic, in contrast to the Tu-160. However, it will be equipped with hypersonic rockets, which are currently under development. Russia's successes in the development of weapons of this type force the United States to actively invest in similar developments and appropriate means of protection.
In particular, in early April, it became known that the American Raytheon corporation was able to protect the conceptual design of the promising hypersonic DeepStrike rocket. The company has already begun collecting samples. Also, the United States urgently modernizes its missile defense system, investing in its development about 13 billions of dollars and trying to expand its group of observation satellites. In total, the program can cost 24 billion.
It cannot be said that the path of a promising aviation complex is lined with rose petals. Back in June, 2012, Dmitry Rogozin said the project was doubtful, and the new design of the bomber might not be needed. Also, judging by the speech of Vladimir Putin in the same period, the project experienced both technical and financial problems. The final launch of the “80 project” was reported only in the 2018 year.
Su-57 as a serial machine may not even see the light or see it, but in limited quantities. Initially it was assumed that all 60 machines of this type would be purchased. If we compare the situation with the United States, more than 2000 5 generation fighters will be put into operation there. How effective are even the best 60 fighter units in the world to withstand hundreds of potential enemy planes?
In order to put at least a few hundred aircraft, you need to establish a system of logistics and production of colossal proportions. This will require hundreds of billions or even trillions of rubles.
Therefore, it is PAK DA that can become the priority wings of the Russian Federation. When the question of "unacceptable" damage for the enemy arises, new methods and means of delivery can create the necessary parity. That is why, for example, Poseidon appeared in Russia. And that is why PAK YES is more important than Su-57.
Although it is quite clear that airplanes have combat missions of different scale. But from the point of view of precisely effective deterrence of a potential adversary, the importance of the PAK DA program is difficult to overestimate.
