NI linked the OSNOD system with an increase in the radius of use of Russian fighters

Representatives of the American magazine The National Interest are not tired of sharing their thoughts on Russian military equipment. Literally daily, the pages of this publication publish materials that contradict each other in terms of assessing the characteristics of the Russian weapons. This time the material turned out to be dedicated to Russian aviation, in particular, the question of what will allow Russian-made fighters to increase the radius of their use.

The author of the material (Charlie Gao) writes that OSNOD, a unified system of communication, data exchange, navigation and recognition, can help Russian fighters in this regard.

The NI pages report on the Russian OSNOD, "resembling the Link-16 data exchange network", which is used in the NATO environment. It is also added that it acts as the Russian analogue of the American CEC - a kind of combat information system.

Recall that earlier in Russia there were announced plans to equip the OSNOD fighter Su-30SM (modernization to Su-30SM1) and Su-57. This system allows you to coordinate the actions of aircraft (helicopters) when performing combat missions. The OSNOD option for the Su-57 is distinguished by constant cryptographic protection of data during their exchange, as well as increased noise immunity. Such a system is characterized by a high data processing speed, which allows the pilot to receive a wide range of protected information in real time.

It is not entirely clear how OSNOD is directly related to the fighter combat range characteristics.

Something I also do not catch up with, how can communication systems increase the combat radius?
Well, let's optimize maneuvering, speed up the passage of commands.
Well, it will give UNITS of percent to range.

Well, flight optimization by 5% is an extra 75 km. Well, if you take into account the maneuver when approaching the target, let's say go into the rear hemisphere undetected, the savings can be all 10%

Probably so.
Usually we measure the range purely for fuel.

[hydrox]

If we add to this the optimization of the operating mode of the engines and the optimization of the choice of the route online when taking into account the weather (course and level - wind and humidity) when approaching the target, this may exceed the possibilities indicated by you.

Apparently the characteristic should sound like "the radius of effective combat use" ...

To be honest, I misunderstood you ...
Enlighten.
In my understanding, the "combat radius" value is different depending on the task.
One-way and backward flight to hit a ground target - more.
One-way and vice versa flight for duty in the barrage zone - less.

I’ll try to explain, a group of aircraft, using such a system, and even a protected one, has more chances to remain under control and perform necessary maneuvers in a changing tactical environment than without it. This also applies to a single aircraft. What is the use of an airplane sent to the maximum combat radius if you cannot control it ... but if the situation has changed while it was flying, you need to redirect it or adjust it

It is written

This system allows you to coordinate the actions of aircraft (helicopters) when performing combat missions.

That is, in fact, the beginning of network centric. The aircraft can receive data from all sources and from drones and other aircraft. That will allow you to fly directly to the goal - bypassing its search.

[hydrox]

Namely, that not directly, but taking into account the obstacles, dangers and conditions of approaching the target: keep in mind that goals are not only airborne, but taking into account the work on the target and other actors, with other means, then there’s no reason to fly there headlong , but it is possible to save fuel and the resource of stay in the active zone of a theater of operations.

The wires have become wireless, which means it’s easier!

Well, QUANTUM is, on the contrary, from the future!
You, apparently, meant ANALOGUE. So they are the size of a closet!

[Sofa expert]

Soviet scientists and not so developed

The logic of British scientists is as follows: if a new communication system was needed, then the radius of combat use of aircraft became larger. About network centric for them is too difficult.

[KAVBER]

Logic ... British scientists .... I do not see the connection. They are paid for citation, not for logical connections.

[Mountain shooter]

Attention is drawn to how often NI publishes all sorts of things about Russian military equipment. This means that the readers of the magazine's "electorate" WANT to know about it. Interested in ... The editorial board and is working on how it can ... but where can they find competent experts? Let them turn to VO! we are even more competent ...

[hydrox]

And if NI also published samples of comments at least once every 2 weeks, grouping them by topic, they could make very good money by selling a printed version of such a publication

[Thrifty]

Why not understand? Aircraft around their own aircraft, hyperslight , and the farther the plane flies away, the faster these waves run, because they are bored in the air without their plane. ...

[CBR600]

I believe that we are talking about the use of explosives for 300 km. Those. the indicated system will make it possible to identify and direct missiles beyond the scope of its own aircraft radar, given that the performance characteristics of domestic missiles are always classified, which is what they fear. Therefore, they consider such a hypothesis. And it pleases me. For f35 slowly turns into trash.

From the point of view of NATO, the range of combat employment of fighters is determined not only by the range of flight, but also by the borders of combat control. Beyond the borders of the combat control zone, it makes no sense to conduct combat operations. Something like this.

[orionvitt]

I agree, combat effectiveness will increase. Moreover, such systems were introduced during the Soviet Union, starting in the 70s. There is experience. But here is the range, in terms of combat radius? Are they adding fuel to the tanks? All this is very relative.
