Sohu: Russian theory of super maneuverability is not suitable for future air combat

336

The Chinese media are trying to figure out what concept a fifth-generation fighter is being created in Russia. The author on the pages of the Sohu portal writes that this concept is significantly different from that implemented in the United States on F-22 fighter jets.

From an article on a Chinese resource:



The difference between Russian fighters and American fighters lies in two completely different theories of air combat and an understanding of the future of such a battle. Compared to American fighters, Russian fighters usually have a higher traction coefficient and excellent maneuverability.

The author writes the following:

Russians still consider air combat at short and medium distances relevant. That is why the Russian concept is based mainly on super-maneuverability.

According to the author in Sohu, in an environment where airplanes have similar electronic warfare capabilities and weaponsover-maneuverability can indeed play an important role, but this role, according to the author, is not too great:

Outside of line of sight, use over-maneuverability to avoid an attack from the enemy, and then take countermeasures. Russia has always believed that it has an advantage in the field of aerodynamics of fighters, and it continues to go the same way.

It is precisely on this theory and on this concept that the new-generation Russian fighter Su-57 appeared, according to the author of the Chinese resource.

At the same time, it is stated that if the Russian Su-57 is detected by American radars before the pilot understands this, "super-maneuverability will not help him anymore."

From the article - peremptorily:

The Russian theory of super-maneuverability is not suitable for future air combat.

According to him, the American F-22 is “completely different,” since the American concept of the development of combat aviation based on stealth technology and early detection.

      They are not so empty. It’s time for us psychologically to switch from Suvorovsky - a bullet-fool, a bayonet-well done, i.e. melee, to combat at great distances. And this applies to all military branches. If at the adversary an on-board locator detects our Sushka for 500 km. and his long-range missile went to the target, it is very rare for anyone to save over-maneuverability.
      The Germans during the Second World War even put optics on their MG. We tried to fight in the distance. Therefore, we have more losses.
      So, relying on over-maneuverability is stupid. The fact that she is is good. But she still needs a powerful locator and long-range weapons of high accuracy.

            Reduces, but not sharply, because the second rocket will fly to the point where the plane is no longer there, the range of the seeker hardly exceeds 30-40 km, which means either it will go wrong, or you can forget about the principle of "let it go and forget" (oops) and stealth will need to conduct RVVBD until it captures a target, the SU-57, as recently shown, can launch missiles during a maneuver, at least during vertical flight, but during a maneuver of avoiding the first missile, if the second missile is escorted, the response will fly

              If the missiles are launched in one gulp with a certain delay in time, the second will hit the plane at the exit of the anti-missile maneuver against the first, when the aircraft’s energy is lost. At that moment, the second one will capture the goal of the GOS for a long time.
              And with a missile defense there will be no time for return fire.

                This is true when the thrust ratio is less than unity. The Su-57 imposes limitations on maneuverability in the first place, what kind of overload the pilot can withstand. And with existing missiles of a likely enemy of a long-range air-to-air class with agility, on the contrary, things are quite sad.

              Maybe, like many others.
              Already being attacked, it will be forced to “twist” maneuvers (when it receives a warning) and will be limited in its response against the opponent (inconspicuous) at a long / medium distance.

          A bit wrong. The missile seeker begins to react simultaneously with the change in the aircraft's motion vector. So, no "ppraz and police turn".
          And also, do not forget that the time of aerial combat is seconds.

            and what is wrong with the I-16?
            Today it’s worth finally declaring the opposite, for it was the I-16 fighters, together with Polikarpov’s other brainchild, the I-153 biplane, that defended their native country in the early days of the war. Despite the surprise of the attack and heavy losses on the ground, the pilots of these aircraft had the most severe resistance to German aviation on the first day of the summer crash. Already at 3.30 in the morning of I-16 of the 33rd IAP of the Western Military Intelligence Directorate based in Pruzhany they shot down the first German aircraft over Brest. After about an hour, another five enemy vehicles attacking the airfield of this regiment fall to the ground. In the Baltic Military District, under similar circumstances, I-16 of the 21st IAP killed 9 Germans, the same victories in the 15th IAP and 7 shot down in the 10th IAP. In the Odessa military district, the 55th IAP, based in Balti, had 10 victories by the end of the day, the 67th IAP in Belgrade had even more victories - 15. In general, the first day of the war was not so simple for the German Air Force - on this day they lost 300 aircraft.

              Only the Germans for some reason did not know.
              If the I-16 mod.24 is so good, why is it discontinued? Because besides maneuverability, he had nothing more to boast about.

                        You are right in everything. In almost everything.
                        But, besides the shots that were, and which were a terrible war, there were other components of the global strategy. Which, like a gun, hung on the wall. And in their own way they shot, only very quietly, with very powerful silencers.
                        ***
                        Take a look around. The mind of the collective West, if you allow an artistic metaphor, is now engulfed in flames. He is looking for any clue to accuse the USSR of unleashing the war of 1941 against the USSR. In which the whole of today's European Union fought, and if you move away the screen of words, the United States and England, and with them their African and Asian colonies.
                        They are ready to disguise themselves as communists and friends of the USSR. Anything, just to find at least one shot in the direction of Germany to justify not only the war, but also the genocide, which was diligently dealt with by the billion people allegedly brought up on the ideals of Beethoven and Goethe.
                        I don’t think that the people of today's Russia will like what I say. This is a very difficult thing, which will require them to also believe that the war was the result of bestial hatred brought up not by Hitler and not Himmler, but by the mothers of the West, who nurtured their children with hatred of Russian people. Not Germans and not some not too socially secure young people who walked the streets with swastikas.
                        The war with the Russians is their hope of capturing the treasures of the Russian land into undivided and complete plunder, the wild hope with which they are born and die.
                        Stalin made it impossible for them to find a rational reason to start a war. The country paid for this decision with huge sacrifices.
                        But if the Russian people had heard this, if he had given them a reason, they would have destroyed our country.
                        If not in a war, then in the wild judges that today's life is so full of, where they cover up the same acts of destruction of our country with a fig leaf of laws. Only now the guns of the police apparatus. In which all their residents take part, from the janitor to the president.

                        Indeed, in order to immediately stop it, the USSR had to strike at Poland, Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania, Norway, Sweden, Finland, and if the wagon train was destroyed, all other European countries.
                        Forget about the world that we love, and are used to evaluating from the standpoint of the common good, and think about the gigantic provocation of the Western countries against the USSR on June 22, 1941.
                        After all, today, even after everything, they no longer hesitate to accuse the USSR of aggression and the seizure of their countries.
                        Can you imagine what would have happened if retaliatory strikes had been inflicted on June 22, 1941.

                        You are already lying about this little thing.
                        Until the last moment, the USSR and Stalin personally gave Western countries a chance to abandon the horrors of war and stop aggression. They didn't just choose war. They deliberately went to the genocide of our people using the army of their united Western countries. Destroying a country that, in the first hours of their bloody horror, abandoned counter-fatal blows in the hope that the peoples of the West would come to their senses and prefer peace to the horrors of war. Already experiencing bloody wounds.

The activity of enemy aircraft decreased sharply. By the end of November 1941, our Air Force gained operational air supremacy in this most important area and held it until the end of the battle of Moscow.

                In fact, the Germans not only knew about the advantages of the I-16, but also suffered rather large losses in Spain. Ishaki entered the battle with the Mesers a little earlier than in the confrontation between Germany and the USSR. And the first Mesers didn’t put much of a moth against Ishak, but Meser had a reserve for modernization, and having received new engines and weapons he was able to get indisputable advantages, but the design of the biplane does not allow to boil the high speeds characteristic of combat aviation of the 40s

            Everything is beautifully written but not correct. There is an article on the Internet about an American lieutenant colonel on the account of long-range combat beyond visual visibility. It addresses three Cold War conflicts and a desert storm operation. In the three Cold War conflicts, nearly 700 medium and long-range missiles were fired, and only 61 of them were outside visual visibility and only four aircraft were shot down.
            During the operation, a desert storm as many as 16, the farthest from a distance of as much as 20 miles. The downed Iraqi pilots did not react when their planes took to escort, did not take evasion maneuvers. The author concluded either about the malfunction of warning systems or the poor training of Iraqi pilots.

                At this speed, planes do not fly for long, and some do not fly at all. Rapprochement can occur at high speed, but rockets are launched already at subsonic speed, only fifth-generation aircraft and our mig25 / 31 can do launch at supersonic. After several evolutions in the air, aircraft speeds fall even more strongly, and here the super-maneuverability of our machines is manifested. As it turns out the main problem of long-range combat is an unreliable friend or foe system. For fifth-generation aircraft, this will generally be a problem, as soon as the defendant begins to send signals that he is his own, this signal will almost immediately give out the aircraft. Therefore, the identification system is sometimes turned off, sometimes it may not work, and planes are afraid to bring down their own. By the way, one of four Americans shot down outside of visual visibility was his plane.
                The Syrians during the war in Lebanon, their air defense counted as many as 12 of their machines.

        The WWII experience is, of course, important. Although, losses in aerial battles are determined, first of all, by the experience of the pilots: at the beginning of the war, the lack of training of our airborne fighters affected - in the end, on the contrary, the Germans had problems with training new fighters to replace the dead and lost, and the statistics of losses changed. Another example is clearer about maneuverability. During the Vietnam War, the Americans largely bet on their Phantoms, ... as a result, they urgently began to develop the F-16 - this is the answer to the question: who was right?

        You can detect someone at a great distance with the help of a locator, only, oops, the included locator with a stealth does not harmonize, as well as outboard fuel tanks and weapons on the external suspension. America does not need stealth for air combat, but for the first strike on ground targets, sneak up on foreign borders and so on.

            American experiments https://defenseissues.net/2013/04/27/usefulness-of-bvr-combat/ showed that firing at long range (outside the visual definition) was not effective enough.

            That's right, but the range of the same "Meteor" is indicated at 100 km + (according to engine operation) with the possibility of hitting up to 150 km.
            At high altitudes, not only missiles lose their maneuverability, only the difference is that the inefficiency of aerodynamic rudders is covered by gas-dynamic ones. Like it or not, but a body with a larger mass and dimensions, albeit at a lower speed, has a longer reaction time and turning radii.
            Air-to-air missiles were discussed here .... But therefore, everything is true for ground-to-air .. - what is the point of producing S-300, S-400, S-500 ???
            Your link (based on outdated samples) proves the superiority of melee missiles over long-range missiles ... And so everyone knows that firing at short range is more effective than long-range, but the ability to start defeating the enemy at long-range (albeit not so efficient) distance allows achieve advantages already in close combat - the enemy’s strength and fuel reserves for maneuverable combat are reduced.
            In addition, the author gives calculations without taking into account the actions of the ground air defense forces of opponents - after all, they will converge in no ring.
            Passing the exam in physics, rather than classical exams, did not prevent us from finding out that physics is an empirical science in which experience rules, not reasoning.

            The fact that physics is an applied science is known oh how long before the appearance of the exam ...

        In the F-35 arsenal, the most long-range air-to-air missile is the AIM-120D AMRAAM with a launch range of 180 km and an RGSN target acquisition range of 16 km. Moreover, this rocket is very old (developed in 1988) and well-known to the designers of the Su-57

          Yes, for it to fly 180 km, it must be launched from a height of 17 km and a speed of 1,5 m. This range is achieved from the board f22. At the 35th range will immediately subside. And if the plane cannot make supersonic launches, and these are all fourth-generation fighters in the USA, then there will be little left of the range.

        What do you have to do with aviation? Any working radar is detected at a distance greater than it sees. Everything is quite simple: you spotted the fu-22 radar, move towards it in the "passive", an alert is triggered that he saw you, passive interference + electronic warfare + maneuver (you can approach, you can leave the visibility zone) and he loses me, su -57 all-aspect passive antenna integrated into the glider, and there are blind spots on the fu-22. Plus, an ultra-long-range rocket with an active seeker, that with an IR is very "myopic" and most of the trajectory is guided from the plane and, when the capture is disrupted, flies to the intended point, three times ha, well guess the point at which the super-maneuverable aircraft will be.

      good exactly!
      But still it seems to me that our theory is more correct. Let's just say that they fly towards f-22 and Su-57. Let's say f-22 was the first to be discovered and, at a distance of 120 km, it was fired from a maximum distance, turned and flew away. What are the chances of rockets knocking out a su-57, super maneuverable, with electronic warfare and electronic warfare systems, and various traps? Moreover, having a small area of ​​reflective surface. No matter how you twist the radar, the GOS missiles are orders of magnitude less powerful than the radar of an airplane. I think that the probability of hitting is not great. Moreover, the su-57 has a meter range radar, which means that it will be aware of the presence of the f-22, and will expect an attack. We get the result, f-22 firing off empty to the base and, with a high degree of probability, hanging on its tail Su-57 with full ammunition. Even if another plane rises towards the base, close combat cannot be avoided.
      I deliberately do not mention Avax and other radars, a purely duel.

On October 5, 2003, Akhmat Kadyrov was elected president of the Chechen Republic. 80,84% ​​of the total number of registered voters voted for him. On May 9, 2004, Akhmat Kadyrov died as a result of a terrorist act.

          Stealth technology works against all centimeter and decimeter radars, reducing the detection range by several times. The strong, the weak, 2-4-8 times, depends on the EPR in this perspective.
          Which gives a noticeable tactical advantage.
          With a “meter” radar (against which the radio-absorbing COATINGS are ineffective, but special geometry still works), you will not be able to direct a rocket, only airplanes. And you can’t put such a fighter.

        In the 1960s and 80s, fighter tactics were built on the desire to detect the enemy as early as possible and launch missiles before enemy aircraft could do this. The determining factors in this case were the capabilities of the on-board electronic complex of the fighter, its interaction with other ground and air means of long-range detection and control, as well as the presence of long-range missiles in the arsenal of the fighter. However, the appearance of stealth combat aircraft shifted emphasis.

        Up to this point, everything seems to be normal.
        But in the following quote, contains a system error.
        If both warring parties use stealth fighters, long-range aerial combat may become impossible in principle. The supersonic cruising speed of fifth-generation fighters combined with reduced radar visibility will make long-range combat too transient and ineffective, opponents simply will not have time to use medium-range missiles. The only form of armed confrontation in the air will remain close air combat.

Well, then there are even more options, either the enemy will take a more advantageous position and finish off, or he will go to the object you are guarding, etc. In general, in this vein, I see American tactics as more productive and correct. Our concept of super-maneuverability, in my opinion, is a necessary measure because of the lag in electronics.

    In addition to evasion opportunities, over-maneuverability gives the pilot confidence in any mode that the pilot will apply in battle. In addition, as I understand it, no one is going to deprive the Su-57 of the ability to detect an enemy sufficiently early, at least by the radiation of an enemy radar. There is probably an SPO-cabinet on the Su-57, and direct radiation in any case (even from AFAR in LPI mode, at least in any other version) is easier to detect and isolate than reflected.

          The range is many times less. You are attacked from a distance of 100 kilometers (with a maximum range of AIM-120 d7 - 180 km). And the OLS sees a maximum of 50 km .. And the STR will warn you after the capture of the GOS, when the missiles are 20 km from you.

            Max range is at what altitude -km 20? And doesn’t it inherit at this altitude — the inversion there or the afterburner to keep it — but where are the ranges of the 180-yas from? 100km doesn’t sit in place - and isn’t there any means of detecting missile launch?

              There are launch detection tools (may try to detect an OLS with an appropriate range).
              All explosive missiles with solid propellant rocket engines first gain altitude of the order of 30 + km, where there is minimal air resistance and fly most of the route there. Hence, such a range (180km maximum).
              Starting from 100km - for energy reserves in case of protective maneuvers.
              You will not see the inversion at such a range.
              Fighters of 4-5 generations do not need the fast and the furious to fly 20km.
              Optimal for counteraction - to have low visibility like an opponent and radar with LPI mode.
              Otherwise - multiple superior losses, with equal strengths of the parties.

                  At 30 km, the same Amraam takes off (all modern explosive missiles with long-range solid propellant rocket engines), when launched over a long distance.
                  OLS-35 sees the target at a maximum of 40km in the teaching staff. You will have to turn on your radars and look for the enemy, which will interfere with the implementation of protective maneuvers.

                      The rocket is escorted without any illumination, it is not possible to detect this (as well as with our P-77 counterpart). For hide and seek behind the relief you need to know that you are attacked and the direction of the attack.
                      In this case, the range is half less than the maximum and the rocket has a lot of energy left for maneuvers. As I said, it’s enough to blow up 5-7 meters (the laser proximity sensor is triggered) to damage / remove the fighter from the battle.
                      Such opportunities and the tactics used are extremely dangerous, you can try to “shove the numbers”, but the ranks of the attackers will be greatly thinned out. We need a reduction in visibility and equipping AFAR radars with LPI mode, we need purchases (to replace old missiles with a semi-active seeker and the first modifications of the R-77) of a significant number of AIM-120D analogs.

        And the bell is such a not so pleasant figure for the radar and the seeker. Because extrapolation of the trajectory goes up, and the plane itself moves down (after the highest point). And it is at this moment that a breakdown of escort can occur. Moreover, if the radar uses only the Doppler effect, then the tracking failure can occur for reasons of speed 0.

    Over-maneuverability is possible only at low speeds, I think it’s not necessary to explain why. This is no longer a fountain. Second, the use of super-maneuverability leads to an additional loss of speed, which is also critical for aerial combat - while the super-maneuverable aircraft will spin at a scanty speed in the dog dump, the enemy will either easily knock it down.
    Another caveat - our aircraft with super-maneuverability are heavy fighters, clearly losing the light in maneuverable combat.
    The cruising speed of fighters in principle does not allow the use of super-maneuverability, what is the tactics of the combat use of aircraft with this possibility is a mystery to me.

    That's right, right ... Why do you need this super-maneuverability and finally maneuverability ... The main thing is that the locator would early, early detect a target for 500, or better for 1000 km. and to him still in excess of super long-range missiles for the same 500-1000 km. battlefield. Why then can I fly somewhere? As a result, the locator and missiles will be grounded and the S-400 will turn out, and soon the S-500 (only for some reason not in the USA ...), then you can safely save on fighter interceptors.
    Now it’s clear why the Americans have a tendency to not have Mig-31 type interceptors, which haven't existed for a long time, and C-400 type systems are still missing.

    over-maneuverability requires, on the one hand, outstanding engines, and, on the other, excellent aerodynamics and materials. If you have neither one nor the other, you can simply declare the super maneuverability obsolete. Neither China nor the United States have this, so they rely on stealth, which in fact can realize its advantages in certain ideal conditions: 1. the enemy does not have space reconnaissance equipment. 2. the enemy does not have means of a long-range meter radar and a centimeter-range radar, there are no quantum radars. 3. The enemy does not have EW facilities 4. The weather should be cloudy 5. The enemy has no advantage in speed or maneuverability 6. The enemy is not able to conduct a network-centric war and exchange data in real time 7. The enemy has only weak air defense means 8 The first attack with long-range missiles should destroy the enemy, because if it fails, the stealth loses all the advantages

    The F-35 is not intended for air combat at all - stealth is needed in order to avoid this battle, to sneak unnoticed to the target. And if the air battle has already begun, then stealth will not help much, it will hurt more. Yes, and "the first to see - the first to fire" does not mean "the first to hit" - the enemy's powerful electronic warfare and super-maneuverability allows him to dodge the missile, and the F-35 is already at the time of preparation for the shot (it switched to the active mode of the radar, the covers opened missile bay) ceases to be stealth

Did not work out! The Chinese were soaked with Chengdu J-10B. Did not work out. Both now claim that UVT is useless. Sour grapes?
    And if it is useless, why are the latest Japanese and South Korean projected sixth generation fighter jets incorporating UVT?

    The Americans designed the F-22 as the best fighter for air supremacy until 2050. To do this, it was equipped with UVT. After the emergence of Russian superiority in the UVP, especially promising Su-57 with product 30, the F-22 will soon lose dominance. Therefore, now they feed on convincing everyone that “close air combat” (BVB) is out of date.
    This lie once worked. In Vietnam, Phantoms and MiG-21s did not successfully feed themselves fighting only with long-range missiles. A complete failure!
    Modern missiles are 400% more effective than then. Ho missile defense is also better by 400%; so the statistics will not move very much.

    If two 100% stealth fighter are in the space itself, they will not see each other until their long-range missiles can be used. Then a maneuvering battle is inevitable, or both run to their own.

    It seems to me important that the possibilities of development in the direction of super-maneuverability are limited (at least - by the g-forces permissible for the pilot) and are close to exhaustion, but not by "early detection". Even if now the chances of collisions are equal, tomorrow there will be lagging behind, and then "they" will take the next step, and "we" will be at the level of "their yesterday." It seems that further development requires those things in which Russia is traditionally weak (and weak due to tradition).

    By the way, I think this is "stealth": the development of detection capabilities is less limited than of concealment.

    And the future is drones, and the one who can stick more will win. And that means the USA, because the economy is stronger.

        in general, the rocket cannot slow down. Moreover, almost all DVB missiles have fuel for only half the flight, after which they fly by inertia and each maneuver of their rudders sharply reduces their speed and range. And at the end, the plane can fly away from them turning on the afterburner. Recently there was a video how the Syrian MiG-21 escaped from two Turkish missiles, using a dodge maneuver and they could not catch it

    Long-range launch of a rocket is an opportunity to destroy it with protective equipment. To develop the detection of unobtrusive targets, that is, to reduce their invisibility to 0 + their long-range missiles (they are already the most long-range ones) and to develop beyond maneuverability further, this is an undeniable trump card when transferred to the 6th generation where aircraft will not need a person

The German doctrine was built in the same way - where tanks could not do anything, artillery and aviation were used from afar. And now you have completely decided to forget about ground-based radars and their support for your aircraft?! However!!! Hello indeed!

But no, and even the vaunted F-22 and F-35 have Gatling systems with very decent ammunition, which is three times more than that of the Su-57. And where there is a cannon, super-maneuverability is only a plus. The ambush will also be that the radars can be suppressed on both sides and only eyes and hands will remain.
