An experimental joint combat use of the Su-57 and several Su-35s is reported.

67

An experimental battle has been announced using several 4 ++ generation fighters under the control of a 5th generation aircraft. We are talking about the so-called "swarm" of Su-35, if this term is generally applicable to fighters. Management, allegedly, was carried out on board the Su-57. The fifth generation fighter served as a command and staff facility aviation.

Such information is voiced by the news agency. TASSwhich refers to unnamed sources.



One of the agency’s sources noted that in the “swarm” or “flock” there was a constant data exchange between the fighters participating in the operation. It is important that the operation was military. Processing data exchanged between aircraft was carried out using the on-board computer systems Su-35 and Su-57.

The fifth-generation Su-57 aircraft has not yet been put into service with the Russian Aerospace Forces, but it managed to participate in numerous and diverse tests. In particular, fifth-generation fighters were previously sent to Syria, where, as previously reported, they confirmed their functionality. Also, the Su-57 aircraft participated in tests together with a promising strike drones, developed under the S-70 "Hunter" program.

Earlier, India withdrew from a joint program to create a fifth-generation fighter FGFA, announcing that the aircraft being created "does not reach the fifth generation of combat aircraft."

    These "half hints" say that the Su-57, in the "swarm" mode, was used in real combat environment ?

          To be fair, so far the Turks have overtaken us in small "police-class" drones. And in my opinion, there is no talk about any swarm there either. A separate operator is assigned to each drone.

            And if, as usual, you look into the details, then for sure (I’m not 100% sure) it turns out that Turkey in its development is heavily dependent on the supply of various electronics from abroad. This often happens in countries where they are not yet accustomed to sanctions and deterrence. So their handicap was huge and if you take it into account, it turns out that we are developing this area much faster.

                For a competent army, weapons should always be created taking into account the war against any possible enemy. So, the presence of any dependence on the reproduction of weapons from deliveries from abroad (that is, from a potential enemy) poses a threat to this army. This, in my opinion, is an absolute position. Yes, it is not everywhere and not always possible to maintain such a balance, but the desire must be. Well, as an example, of course, the sanctions policy of a number of foreign countries. For us, it simply does not allow us to think differently.

                  The position is absolute and absolutely not feasible. This is currently possible for a maximum of 2 countries in the world, and then with a huge stretch. And Russia is not in the list of these countries
                  but the desire must be

                  What is the point in striving for the impossible?
                  There is a choice
                  1. to produce weapons themselves using foreign technology. At the same time, developing its own weapons school and creating new types of weapons and tactics for its use.
                  2. import weapons
                  3. Do not purchase weapons at all and do not equip the army with anything.
                  So what to choose then? With such an absolute position?

                    You do not have item 4) Produce weapons yourself, using only those technologies that the country itself has to the maximum. And where there is a serious lag - to develop our science and use foreign copies in order to obtain technology and develop our own science.

                    The goal strives for the ideal. An ideal may not be attainable, but the pursuit of it creates new things. Just relaxing and forgetting is also not an option.

                      To produce weapons by ourselves, using only those technologies that the country itself has to the maximum

                      Well .. honestly, choosing from "fight with sticks" and "produce drones, air defense systems, aviation, electronic warfare" but with the use of imported components, I would not hesitate to choose the latter.

                      The goal strives for the ideal. An ideal may not be attainable, but the pursuit of it creates new things

                      Blind adherence to ideals does not create. There are no universal rules that would suit everyone and always. And your "absolute" is simply not feasible for the majority.

                      PS: And by the way about electronics. and Turks. Turks have their own electronic industry, by the way.

                        We also have our own electronic industry. I do not understand this argument. It seems to me that the difference between you and me is not at all in the goals and roadmap, but in the presentation of the country's capabilities. Since I understand in your opinion we have nothing sensible of electronics and, in general, it seemed to me that you have a very low opinion about the possibilities in producing decent technology. I have it back, although I recognize the areas where we still have to work and work, but still have a greater opinion about the possibilities in the production of advanced technology. If this is so, then probably you and I will not come to a common opinion. The road is too long, but writing here is very inconvenient.

                        As I understand it, we don’t have anything sensible about electronics.

                        I didn’t say such a thing, and as far as I understand, there is still something from electronics in Russia, I even knew people indirectly involved in this. How much is enough and for what purposes I will not undertake to judge. Here the Citizen claims that without the super-modern computer, which only the states have, serious drones are impossible to do. This statement seems somewhat controversial to me.
                        But electronics is only one of the components necessary for the production of military equipment, and Russia has a blockage with almost everything. With engine building, and with almost any, with rare exceptions, with optical systems. So in general with the production infrastructure.

                        I am not saying that these problems cannot be solved at all, but their very minimum solution will require serious effort of all forces and everything available. Whether Russia is capable of such tension is not clear to me.

                        At the same time, creating high-tech weapons in cooperation is the way that all countries of the world are now taking, including more technologically advanced ones. Yes, and most simply have no alternative to this.

        A little bit wrong, this means working with data. Probably chosen as a team in connection with a more powerful on-board computer (software) .... In fact, the data processing should be carried out by the CP, here, apparently, it was worked out in a more isolated (mobile in a particular group separate) version. So let's say at the local group level. And whoever targets the question there is different, his data is also taken into account.

                It depends on what the task is. If the task is to carry out his stealth in the shadow of the others, this is one thing, but here they apparently trained in general to implement control of this type. The logic here is that the command aircraft is not the most vulnerable of the group. God grant. This hour is just as important as in WWII radio communications, as ours were tormented without it.

              Not in passive mode. One hangs in the Active, others get in the passive. And they exchange data and can direct each other's missiles. By the way, they can also connect with the Patriot. Passive mode does not provide complete information and range. Flu can also act.

    I have a different version. This is not a swarm of Su-35s, but a swarm of hunters. If the SU-35 avionics is similar in parameters to the Hunter avionics, then just such an interaction was worked out. The hunter is still alone, but there are many 35s, so they experimented. Flight, exit to the target area, target designation, attack, return. Pilots of the 35s simply followed instructions from the 57th in the way a drone would do.

    Tass is still that resource after it became private. I don't believe him from the word at all. Why the Su 57 swarms with the Su 35, let's say in Syria. Before Babakhov's aviation, which she does not have. Before the Israelis "friends", like we are Okay, the Su-57, let's say, is not very visible, but the Jews probably see the Su-35. The noise would have raised. And if they intercepted the Americans in a swarm, representatives of the Pentagon and the State Department would jump out of their pants, shouting in a jump: The Russians made the interception unprofessional and dangerous. pay for the rehabilitation of the pilots, otherwise they cry because of the stress and laugh and pretend to be snakes. I don't believe that it was in a real combat situation. Over Russia, maybe, somewhere in its central part.

      I don’t know the truth or not, but it’s very similar to that. There are problems that led to the crash of the aircraft, they are eliminated for a very long time, which indicates the seriousness of the problem, and the engine of the second stage is on the way. So there is some truth in your assumption.

        The results of the investigation about the fall of the Su-57 were not published, but according to the evidence that fell into the press, it fell in a spiral downward. No fire.
        Assumption: tail unit failed. This is indirectly confirmed by the fact that infa immediately appeared that they plan to replace hydraulics with electric motors.
        The hydraulics probably failed.

      And you argued with me, you see, you can wait until from Drying, they will make Super-Drying. Not on the verge of war.

    I wonder what kind of "combat" application are we talking about? Bombed by a "swarm" of 4 Su-35 barmaley sheds in Syria, under the command of a Su-57 pilot? What a strange news, an attempt to catch up with the United States and the West in this direction. But the backwardness of 15-20 years is not so easy to remove.

      Well, this is from the same opera as Armata, which in an unequal battle destroyed from 9 to 11 ISIS tanks ..

        Maybe. For the last 10 years there has been an informational fake shaft, and not so much from some kind of yellow pressers as from quite official sources. As if trying to thereby increase the rating of the authorities in the eyes of gullible citizens. And this is not only in Russia, but also in many large countries of the world.

    I wonder where they have now found such a combat situation where they needed a "swarm" of Su-57 and Su-35 ...

    I wonder what the results were. And when will the full swarm of UAVs be?
    ____________________________________________
    Indeed, a drone swarm would be understandable.
    what the hell to swarm of combat aircraft with pilots in a country with destroyed industry?
    this is something from the field of Ragozin tales about the development of the universe ...

    The Su-57 was constantly involved in something, but in which no one knows. Like you see gophers? No? And they are. In the video, the Su-57 was flying next to the Hunter UAV. Like it was controlled by a drone. Or maybe it's crap? MiG-23 flew next to the space "Buran". So what? Many fly near the UAV. But that doesn't prove anything. And what kind of drone control is it from an airplane from a distance of 30 meters? The Su-57 pilot can't control it without direct visual contact ?! Or is communication with the UAV lost more than 30 meters? Further - the Su-57 visited Syria. Well visited. Is flying back and forth an achievement? Or banging a rocket or a bomb at the barmaley's barn - is this something super unique, beyond the control of, for example, the same Su-34 or Su-30? Yes, the same MiG-23 can do this without difficulty. What functionality has the SU-57 confirmed in Syria? "We won't tell you."

      Well, for example, it is not uncommon to check the operation of the radar station against a real enemy, F-22 and F-35 are not uncommon there, to check the RTR system according to the real situation on the part of Israel and Turkey, and toss the "pig iron" unnecessarily ...

        To check the above, there is no need to drive the car to Syria. Raptors fly at our borders both in the Baltic and the Far East. The same thing with RTR, for a long time everything could be checked on aircraft laboratories anywhere

          In those areas there will be a meeting in a neutral space, but here, over Syria, you will not fly close to it, and the adversary himself should work actively, and the equipment should show the declared characteristics on board, and not on a flying laboratory.
