"Su-35 is not effective": in Indonesia, advocated the transition to an advanced fighter

216

The potential of the Russian Su-35 fighter is significantly limited in comparison with more advanced aircraft of its class. This opinion was voiced by the retired Indonesian air defense commander Eris Hariyanto on the pages of IndoAviation, listing four reasons.

Firstly, the Su-35 is a development of the previous type, namely the Su-27 fighter. He was surprised when Jakarta decided to purchase this car, since at that time there was already a 5th generation platform on the world market with stealth capabilities [apparently, it's about F-35]. According to him, the Su-35 is able to prove itself only at a low flight speed.



As he points out, in the early years of independence, Indonesia acquired a number of advanced aircraft: Tu-16 strategic bombers, OV-10 and P-51 reconnaissance aircraft, F86F, MiG-15, MiG-17, MiG-19 and MiG- fighter jets 21. In modern conditions, a similar approach is required - to bet on the 5th generation jet stealth fighter.

Secondly, the Su-35 has a passive radar, inferior in terms of the effectiveness of the radar with AFAR. At the same time, many platforms already have an advanced radar station, including Saab JAS 39E / F Gripen, Dassault Rafale and Eurofighter Typhoon.

Thirdly, the Su-35 is large for a class of fighter jets, therefore, in his words, “it is easy for an enemy aircraft to detect it.” Hariyanto, who previously flew the F-16 Fighting Falcon and F-5 Tiger II, explains that in modern air battles, airplanes that are able to detect the enemy first have a chance to win.

Fourth, he believes that aircraft maintenance is too expensive - unlike the F-35, which is widely sold around the world. At the same time, no comparative figures are given by the former aviator.

                The Sumerians are over there, also "dynamically" developing laughing
                Why, is such a developed economy out of its own, it only produces palm oil .. (bananas, coconuts) laughing Do not count the production of world corporations brought there because of the cheap labor, which, if desired, will be minimized. Yes, and they do not have enough cash, everywhere they shove their oil with palm barter))

                    Indonesia has a population of 266 million. The fourth country in the world in this indicator, after the PRC, India, and the USA. And the largest Muslim country in the world in terms of population. And the territory is almost 2 million square meters. km In Malaysia, the people a little more than 30 million, and an area of ​​approximately 330 thousand square meters. km So, Malaysia cannot compete with Indonesia either in terms of population or territory.

                You should be careful about flogging nonsense so that it does not die prematurely. He will die and you will have no topics left for drafts. Russia is the ninth in terms of oil purchases. According to the consumption of palm oil per capita, Russia consumes 5,3-5,5 kg per person per year per capita. About the same amount is consumed in the UK. Whereas, for example, in Belgium this figure reaches 30 kg, Sweden - almost 12 kg, Denmark - 15,4 kg

              PFAR does not differ much from AFAR in terms of functionality. MiGi MO does not want to take it at all, possibly because of the real state of affairs with radars of the "Zhuk" family.

            In principle, yes, ceteris paribus, AFAR has an advantage over VFAR. But, as always and everywhere - there are nuances. For example, the size (in this case, the size of the radar antenna) still matters.

              I totally agree.
              Everyone was hooked - AFAR and AFAR give, as if he would radically change something in the range of target detection.
              The best fighter is not the most expensive and stuffed according to the latest trends - this is the workhorse of the Air Force / VKS, which should not be expensive to build and maintain. Su-35 in this respect is the golden mean - good high-torque AL-41F1-S engines with excellent resource, good radar, OLS there is, which is not, for example, on the same F-22.
              And it costs the Su-35 for the relatives of the VKS two times cheaper than the unfinished Su-57. And all the more cheaper F-35 and F-22

        You are not an expert, but a general after all - an expert in your field (Indonesian). By default, our defense systems have always lagged behind American ones in terms of operational technology. In the United States, since the 1950s, aircraft performance characteristics (in particular, speed) are not decisive, and very stringent requirements are imposed on operational manufacturability. And it also happened with us: "The designer is dry, the plane is wet, and the technician is wet." In addition, for thirty years, the manufacturer has been guaranteeing the operator a given level of equipment availability throughout the entire life cycle of a "product" (complex system) within the framework of an "integrated logistics system" that includes spare parts, services, training, and simulations. Therefore, the price of the "question" includes a lot that escapes the attention of the public.

      Efficiency is a (mainly qualitative) characteristic that characterizes the ratio between the costs (for solving the problem) and the beneficial effect. Costs take into account the estimated damage due to combat and non-combat losses and operating costs. All these quantitative indicators, as a rule, are not fully taken into account, and if military operations are not being conducted, then, strictly speaking, it is impossible to give quantitative and qualitative assessments of the effectiveness of the combat aviation complex. In general, expert assessments are of practical value in making decisions, but it should be borne in mind that these assessments are subjective. And although "developed subjectivity" tends to objectively reflect a phenomenon or process, it is, of course, not identical to the objective one.
      In the USSR Air Force (and, of course, in the United States), such assessments were given by research institutes (I think the "thirty"), and not by marshals. In Indonesia, such organizations may also exist (but not a fact).
      It can also be assumed that Indonesia simply does not need a plane like the Su-35.

      And this is the fault of the Ministry of Trade of the military-industrial complex of Russia that there are no such numbers, they are not secret.

      June 2017
      https://inosmi.ru/military/20180614/242475904.html
      “Russia announced to China the cost of the Su-35 fighter. The price of one Su-35 is more expensive than the American F-35 by $ 10 million. ”
      “The reason the average price of a contract for a Su-35 fighter to be bought by China is more expensive than an American F-35 is largely due to the“ package, ”which includes a lot of services. ”
      But Americans, when concluding a contract, include services.
      Here, on the website, in the article “Poland signed a purchase contract
      F-35 ”there are numbers:
      “The cost of the contract was $ 4,6 billion, and in addition to supplying the aircraft themselves, each of which cost Poland $ 87 million, it includes training for Polish pilots, the supply of flight simulators, and logistics support.”
      Those. the retired general is right somewhere - if they are comparable in terms of money, then in “modern air battles, airplanes that are able to detect the enemy first” have a chance to win, and this is the F-35.

          EvilLion, “seeing” and “seeing so as to direct a rocket” are two different things.
          Over 90 km, the F-22 will be seen as a hindrance - neither identify nor point. At 60 km, the aircraft will be identifiable and captured by a rocket.
          On the other hand, the F-35 (APG-81 radar with a GaSa module) will see the enemy’s aircraft at a range of approx. 400 km and an air-to-air missile with a distance of 150-300 km (depending on version) will destroy the enemy.

          The car does not belong to the light class, but it does not even reach the heavy ones. Both radars (Zhuk-A, Zhuk-M) are weak against, for example, Irbis. The engines have not undergone major changes in comparison with the AL-31F1 \ AL-41F1S. What is its role in the presence of the Su-30SM, Su-35? "Light" frontline fighter?
          They can’t finish the radar, they have been talking about Zhuk-A for about 10 years (offhand), they are carrying it in a single copy. I read an interview with Tarasenko, says that Zhuk-A is optional. In the VKS planes will go without him.

The Japanese are different there so they will buy the F-35, they like to buy MiG and did not plan. And among the direct competitors of the MiG, the French are not yet visible for the 5th generation.

This indicates successful commerce. Americans are creating weapons for sale. Americans will have to rivet F-35, as well as sell. Europeans can create their own, but they will not give them. Buy all the F-35s, we put a bunch of dough in it. The issue of commerce and quantity is against military effectiveness.

        In fact, the probability of evading a missile attack for modern Su and MiG fighters is very high, and more often this happens due to a sharp turn and escape at high speed from enemy missiles, and then the number of missiles fired can be any, but they will not reach the target. The speed of air-to-air missiles at a maximum of Mach 4, while the speed is not constant, it decreases over time, until the fuel is completely depleted, the speed of fighters reaches up to Mach 3 on afterburner, so that when a missile attack is detected in advance, this is not difficult and this has been used more than once in real battles -

        On the account of the MiG-25 (pilot flight engineer Zuheir Dawood) the only official loss of American aviation in the Desert Storm air battles is F / A-18, shot down on the first night of the war on January 17 (its pilot Michael Speaker was reported missing for a long time lead). Also on the first day was aerial combat of a pair of MiG-25PD and four American F-15s. F-15 fired a large number of missiles without achieving a single hit, after which the planes parted.


        On January 30, a pair of Iraqi "twenty-fifth" rockets attacked a pair of F-15s. One of the rockets exploded near the Eagle, after which it turned towards the Saudi border, a ground control point followed the F-15 path and noted that the plane crashed 40 kilometers from the border. Later, Iraqis found the F-15 wreckage in the same place the control point was talking about, but the Americans did not confirm their losses in this battle (it is known that for some unknown reason the Saudi F-15 crashed, but the date of the loss is February 13 and this loss occurred in southern Saudi Arabia, far from the border with Iraq). MiG-25 turned around and began to return to base. Two F-15s came to the rescue, together they fired ten air-to-air missiles at the retreating enemy, none of the missiles reached the target


        During the war of Ethiopia and Eritrea, the Su-27 repeatedly left the missiles fired at them, after which they returned and shot down the Eritrean MiGs

            You still forgot about the downed F-16 of Pakistan, MiG-21 of India, though the Indian fighter was shot down.


            I did not forget, it's just that not everything is so obvious and there are many reasons for manipulation.

            Indian Su-30MKIs at least were able to spot Pakistani F-16 attack missiles - AIM-120 AMRAAM and change their course in advance to evade a missile attack.

            The MiG-21 single-engine with a maximum speed of 1300 km / h (versus 2600 km / h Su-30MKI) simply did not have a chance to get away from the AIM-120 AMRAAM missile, either at the expense of speed or anti-missile maneuvers.

            The Pakistani group consisted of 24 aircraft, 8 of which were F-16s, against 2 MiG-21s and 4 Su-30MKIs.

            In fact, the Pakistanis ambushed the Indians, and the main calculation was on the range of the AIM-120 AMRAAM missiles, most likely the Indian Air Force first fought / intercepted a small group of Pakistani aircraft, and then launched long-range AIM missiles over them -120 AMRAAM most likely with the F-16, and not as stated with the JF-17.

            I suppose that the Pakistanis fired a lot of AIM-120 AMRAAM missiles on Indian planes, but only one missile reached its target - the MiG-21, which is not in speed or maneuverability and is not near the Su-30MKI.

            There were also reports that the Su-30MKI managed to shoot down the AIM-120 AMRAAM missile, which in principle is quite realistic, since the missile is very large and well detected by the radar and captured by the GOS of air-to-air missiles.

            As a result of this battle, India had complaints only about the insufficient range of the R-77 missiles, that is, most likely the Su-30MKI saw Pakistani missiles and aircraft perfectly well, evaded a missile attack in advance, but the Pakistani aircraft could not retrieve the response. For the sake of fairness, it is worth saying that the R-77 (especially in the export version) is inferior to the latest versions of the American AIM-120 AMRAAM rocket slightly in range.

            It was necessary to buy India R-37 with a range of 300 km. Saved the result.

            Russia is now working hard on long-range missiles KS-172 and R-37M with a range of about 400 km.

            In general, the concept of super-maneuverability + speed is quite effective and is needed not for close combat, as is often pointed out, but just for protecting the aircraft from air-to-air missiles.

            The F-35 has a lower speed even than the MiG-21, so there is little chance of it getting away from the enemy’s missile, an order of magnitude less than that of the Su-30/35 or MiG-29/35.

            It’s not the technique that wins the battle, but the tactics and stamina of the fighters.

              Pakistan tried to launch an attack against India, but lost its F-16 fighter.
              In response to the attack of the Indian Air Force, Pakistan was able not only to bring down two fighters of this country, but also conducted a counterattack using its own combat aircraft, but the Indian military was ready for such events and was able to shoot down one of the fighters. According to some information, four F-16 fighters took part in the attack of the Pakistani Air Force; however, after the destruction of the first one, the combat aircraft returned to their airspace.

              Competently stated, in my opinion. Here is a remark: "In general, the concept of super-maneuverability + speed is quite effective and it is needed not for close combat, as it is often pointed out, but just to protect the aircraft from air-to-air missiles." Dodging or dodging at speed from long-range WB and medium-range missiles, then, as the battle continues, you get into the phase of close air combat (BVB), etc. To win in the last (and therefore the main!) Type of battle, super-maneuverability is a decisive advantage of the apparatus ... "Stealth", "low EPR" - in general, in BVB conditions at the level of paranoia!

                Dodging or moving away at speed from long-range WB and medium-range missiles, then, with the continuation of the battle, you enter the phase of close air combat (BVB)


                How does a maneuver to evade a long-range or medium-range air-to-air missile fall into close combat?

                Not at all. The fighter detected a launch on its own - made a missile maneuver (changed course to the opposite of flying missiles and, due to speed, left it, and you don’t need to be a pilot of a first class) - turned around - got closer to the attacking plane and launched its missiles on it long-range or medium-range missiles. He does not need to go into close combat and take risks in vain.

                Similarly, the fighting in the war of Ethiopia and Eritrea took place. Eritrea lured the MiG to the Ethiopian Su-27, and then attacked it from an ambush with another MiG, which was hiding from ground-based radars using a low altitude and terrain, but the Su-27 always went away from the missile (often practically on the verge), one of the MiGs returned and attacked. After 3 defeats of the Eritrean MiGs, they completely stopped flying in the war zone.

                In one of the battles, the Su-27 returned to its airfield with 300 liters of fuel in tanks.

                With all this, the MiG-29 is more maneuverable and faster than the single-engine F-16, and even more so the slow-moving F-35.

                So our concept of 2-engine maneuverable (super-maneuverable) and high-speed fighters is fully justified.

                Although there are also problems, there are many of them. We need long-range missiles in a series on Su and MiGs, we need radars with AFAR, we need to introduce technology to reduce visibility not only in the Su-57, but also in all manufactured aircraft in the Su and MiGi series, somewhere due to a slight change in the design of the airframe with the aim of elimination of right angles, somewhere replacing metal with composites.

                You can’t stand still, you need to develop and move forward.

                And we also need a single-engine aircraft, moreover, on the basis of the MiG-35 and on the basis of the Su-30/35. This aircraft is useful for striking with precision weapons, on moving targets - columns of equipment, individual units of armored vehicles, warehouses, headquarters, etc. At the same time, such a plane can protect itself, not as surely as a twin-engine one, but still better than an attack aircraft.

                In fact, a single-engine aircraft is a replacement for a Su-25 or A-10 attack aircraft.

                And such an aircraft will be exported to Ur, and the troops will saturate with a large number of front-line fighters, which will hide behind the Su-35/57 and MiG-31 located in the interior of the country / front.

              About the speed he answered a little higher - it is comparable for these machines. As for maneuverability, the MiG-21 does not need advertising for this indicator, at one time the developers from General Dynamics took it as a standard when developing their F-16 and since then little has changed, since the MiG, unlike its younger rivals in airspace, stopped `` gaining weight '' from the end of the 70s with the termination of serial production and retained its excellent flight data)) Yes, it does not have an engine thrust vector control system, but in air battles at medium and large distances and, most importantly, at supersonic speeds, it is still useless ... But otherwise a light MiG with 2-4 V-V missiles and a decent thrust-to-weight ratio (compare it, by the way, with the Su-30MKI loaded with missiles, PTBs and electronic warfare containers ) and today remains a very difficult target to hit, provided that there is an experienced, well-trained and trained pilot in the cockpit (and others are not put on these machines in such important missions).

    Based on the concept of creating domestic fighters / interceptors, they, ideally, should not include a radar at all. They should be guided by land / sea and airborne detection / guidance / targeting systems. The fighter / interceptor, taking off and turning on the radar towards the enemy, looks like an infantryman who got up from the trench at night, turned on the flashlight and went on the offensive. Turning on the radar makes sense if the enemy's air force and air defense are completely suppressed or close to it. It is possible to break through the layered air defense / missile defense system only in the complete radio silence mode at a low-level flight in the folds of the area under the radio horizon.

      That's the whole point in money. Instead of money, they offer us palm oil. With all due respect - what is the oil - such are the fighters. It is good that we do not offer Mig-23. For such and such oil, I would refrain from delivering An-2.

    Who is Indonesia going to fight with anyway? Or from whom to defend? Based on this, apparently, they should acquire weapons. The Netherlands/Dutch are unlikely to go to war against them today; those days are gone. The Chinese don’t have F-35s, you can fight them with our Su’s if you have to. Indians are a peaceful people; they are unlikely to seize Indonesia and then feed its people; they have nowhere to put their own people. But against the United States itself, we need rather a deeply layered air defense, into which, again, our Sukhoi can be built quite reliably. But who will create such air defense? Indonesia is located on the islands of the Pacific and Indian Oceans. The climate is equatorial to subequatorial. The country ranks 4th in population. Of course, there is something and someone to protect. To do this, we must wisely conduct domestic and foreign policy and military development.
    The statements of the local general are similar to the usual competition for the Indonesian arms market. Apparently, the Chinese are getting there with their planes. They call the tune.

    What is the main difference from passive phased array? Each AFAR cell contains its own transceiver. Their number may exceed one thousand. That is, in an AFAR, each array module contains a phase shifter, a transmitter and a receiver, dispensing with one large transmitter, as in radars with passive phased array. Previously, if, for example, the transmitter failed, the plane became “blind.” And here one or two cells, even a dozen, are affected, and the remaining thousands continue to work.” Thousands of AFAR modules increase the reliability and efficiency of the antenna, and it also becomes possible to work at several frequencies at once. Radar systems with AFAR are capable of simultaneous solving several tasks: searching and detecting targets, while simultaneously surveying the space, clearing out interference, jamming the enemy, and carrying out cartography. What is radar with AFAR? Without going into details, it is the most technologically advanced radar for fighter jets today. Radar with AFAR allows you to detect targets faster, at a much greater distance and at the same time has outstanding reliability. If Russia does not keep up with the times, it will be an outsider in the aviation market and not only aviation

      But in “ordinary” radars, the transmitters fail after each flight? Or are there problems with "holes" in the waveguides that emit?
      To operate AFAR at several frequencies, you need appropriate master oscillators, that is, this is not a feature of AFAR.
      Simultaneously solving several problems such as searching and detecting targets, this is also done with a conventional phased array, the idiotic phrase “tune out from interference”, so not all interference can be “tuned out” from the AFAR.
      Is it better to entrust electronic warfare to special systems to interfere, that is, to use part of the antenna to the detriment of the radar?
      Detect targets “faster”, well, call the target detection time of the Irbis, and some other radar with AFAR! All this is nonsense, and a complete lack of understanding of how modern radars work, with or without AFAR.
      Well, at the same time, tell us the detection range of the Irbis, and anyone else.

    And Operator, claims that the Russian Federation has developed an ARGSN with AFAR... It is extremely unlikely that there will be a seeker with such an antenna on a disposable product (are we some kind of Japanese!), even if they are in no hurry to introduce AFAR on fighter radars. Although the modernized Ka-27Ms that are already entering service with the Navy have radars with AFAR... In general, the devil broke his leg on the issue of Russian AFARs.

    I worked in Malaysia in the 90s when negotiations were taking place on the sale of MIGs.
    There was a fierce struggle between ours and the Americans (they proposed the F/A18). Then almost every day in the local press there were interviews with retired military personnel who said that Russian planes were bad.
    Ours worked with local lobbyists. In other words, there was the usual struggle for the market. This is fine.
    (Eventually the Malaysians bought from us and the Americans).
    A quick note on some of the comments. Russia has never received palm oil for aircraft supplied. This is a lie. Both Malaysia and Indonesia paid in cash. However, I would like to note that Russia, within the framework of these agreements, assumed obligations to BUY palm oil products for a certain percentage of the contract for the supply of aircraft. This percentage was a maximum of 10% of the contract. As for palm oil from Malaysia, the obligation was fulfilled, but not a single ton of oil arrived in Russia. MAPO/Rosvooruzhenie assigned their obligations to a local company, which supplied the oil to India and Bangladesh.

    Apparently, the Indonesian military killed everything. It is a disadvantage that the aircraft is a further development of the SU-27. Can he name at least one made without taking into account historical experience and mathematics accumulated by aerodynamicists and designers? A clean slate, starting with the reinvention of the wheel and wing?
    The “cheapness” of servicing a “mass-produced” fighter, sold in quantities of three hundred around the world.... An American miracle, the cost of manufacturing and maintenance over its entire service life is the price of a piece of pure gold, with a mass equal to the mass of this machine.
