Fighters of the fifth generation Su-57 will be hidden under invisible covers

86

Russian fighters of the fifth generation Su-57 will receive special covers that completely hide the aircraft from electronic reconnaissance means and protect them from bad weather. Deliveries are scheduled to begin in 2021. "News" with reference to the Ministry of Defense and the Defense Industry Complex.

As the newspaper writes, the covers for the Su-57 will be made of polymers that reflect the radar signal. A set of a dozen separate covers will be supplied for each aircraft - for wheels, for the lower, central and rear fuselage, wings, cockpit, nozzle, stabilizers, air intakes and other parts of the structure. Deliveries are planned to begin in 2021, in the period 2021 - 2022, eight sets will be produced and delivered, then their number will increase. Preliminary deliveries of covers will be carried out until 2028.



Besides the fact that the new covers will shelter aircraft from reconnaissance means, they will also protect fighters from bad weather well. Considering that the latest fighters have antennas, sensors, optical and electronic systems located on the wings and fuselage, such protection will come in handy, saving coverage and electronics.

New covers will completely hide the outline of the aircraft, making it impossible to identify them on satellite and aviation pictures, as well as hiding from electronic reconnaissance equipment while parking on the ground outside protected hangars.

        Why hide what is not?

        Don't you understand? They will bring a group of skeptics to an empty airfield and say: here, they say, those hundreds of Su-57s that we promised to launch into series. And the fact that they are not visible, so they are under invisible covers ...
        Wangyu the same covers for Armata and Boomerang. A very handy thing for effective managers.
        In the meantime, they are sawing in the old fashioned way:

      And what really has to do with Ukraine? About the stealth of the Su-57 in the quote below.
      “Until recently, the United States ridiculed the Russian Su-57, arguing that it could not qualify for the stealth title, however, given the fact that the Russian fighter jet flew several thousand kilometers without hindrance directly over the American military bases in Iraq and Syria, it becomes it is quite obvious that we are really talking about an "invisible" aircraft that successfully clicked Washington on the nose, "the specialist notes.

      According to some reports, in 2020 Russia also plans to send the Su-57 fighter to Syria for the next testing phase - this time for conducting air patrols, but at the moment no statements have been made about this.

      Ukraine demonstrates the power of Ukrainian aviation and astronautics.
      On August 31, in Kiev, representatives of the local Svidomo community decided in a special way to demonstrate to the world the full power of Ukrainian aviation and astronautics.

      To this end, from the Maidan of Nezalezhnosti in a solemn and patriotic atmosphere, the largest ever yellow-blocked trident, assembled from balloons, was launched into the sky.




      At first, the structure rose above the surface and floated towards neighboring buildings. However, after someone triumphantly shouted "to Moscow!", The inflatable mega-trident somehow got upset, began to lose its shape and soon fell quietly.

A fresh photo of the assembly of the second car was published in the June issue of the newspaper Krylya Sovetov.

      So one does not interfere with the other, but complements, if special covers are supplied with the aircraft.
      In real life, even in the presence of hangars, it still happens that the planes remain in the open air - they leave them at the central locks, at the gas room in the TEC, at a foreign airfield ... Then the covers will come in handy so that the entire office would not be accidentally set on fire.

I am not strong in organic chemistry, but polymers that absorb electromagnetic radiation are beyond my understanding, as well as reflecting it, polymers are radio-transparent, compounds from hydrocarbons with a complex molecular structure, well, they do not affect radio emission, they can absorb radiation, from a to d, polyethylene is even better than lead, but radio frequencies are niv as, in itself, the concept of a polymer is ambiguous, it is possible to insert metal molecules into polyethylene, but what's the point?

            Filled polymer, isn't it a polymer? Radiopaque coatings and paints all work like this. The main thing there is the material and the size of the fibers. Mixtures of these fibers or particles. can be in several layers with different fillers. Sprayed layers on a polymer base.

    Covers are a good thing.
    The truth is, until the nozzles are cool, the use of covers will be somewhat problematic.
    At a height of almost 5 meters, throw a blanket: two pieces of about 10 meters each on the front and back of the fuselage, and covers on the wings almost 7 meters each, I see, will not be easy either.
    Do you need additional staff?
    Before takeoff, all this will have to be removed neatly and quickly.
    And sprinkled with snow, but frosty fry, and plastic in the cold, frankly, not very ...
    Then, to put the pieces so hefty, but sometimes in the wind and in the rain it can carry ...
    And store it where while the plane is flying somewhere?

    Do you also need covers there? Like, shob boulo?

    If the cover reflects radio waves, then it is more visible than the other way around. I hope the engineers didn't confuse anything when designing.

    The author clearly did not delve into what he writes. If the covers, as he put it, reflect the radio signal, then what's the point?

    Well, this is a psychiatrist.

    No, those who invent all sorts of garbage, just to saw it, and not do it as it should actually be, rather not to a psychiatrist, but to the prosecutor, and other law enforcement officials. lol

    where would you buy such a cover on a typewriter or paint like on a Su57 or a submarine: do not offer an anti-hydroacoustic coating laughing

    covers for the Su-57 will be made of polymers that reflect the radar signal.
    so let them fly in them, the problem of stealth is solved

    Why is it stupid to build a concrete "garage"?
    He will hide from enemy eyes and from bad weather.
    Again, there is no need to dress and undress the plane, scratching delicate optics every time and wasting time and effort.
    Misunderstandings .....

      Apparently yes
      It is expensive to bury all airfields with hangars, to drag the hangar from place to place is also long and expensive, or even simply impossible.
      and this is just a cover, a rag, just not made of tarpaulin, but newer material.
      there is no pathos or "breakthrough" in the article.
      Well, we just created a special cover for the new aircraft, although it would be better to bring the engine to the 2nd stage.
      As for the mass scale, the Americans riveted 200 raptors, the plane is so good, but nowhere is it really used.

          Well, yes.
          you can see how they are placed in Elizovo, for example.
          some in hangars, some between artificial hills (they cover the top with a cover and mask), some in the open ..
          And there are all sorts of strategists and fighters and anti-submarine, and there is snow, Mama don't worry.
          Nothing, somehow they fly.

            I am not very sure that the MiG-31, let alone the Il-38, will fit into local hangars, except for the TEC. For at least a quarter of a century that I served in Kamchatka, I never remember a MiG-31 in a hangar.

    For those who are not in the subject, the production schedule for the Su-57, Su-35S, Su-35, from 2024 the Su-57, 12 units per year.

    Half of the pickers will be thrown onto the street in early 2021? Aircraft will be assembled 2 times less.
    And then it will turn out like with Russian ventilators - they will pick it up from the street.

      Just look how many Su-35s are in the order. Su-35 and Su-57 do exactly what Komsomolsk does. And in the 20th year, the delivery of import orders, which have been built since 2019 ..

    But the air-pro comes up with events.

    Why should they? By the way, the F-35 carries such a cover with it, but they say that it is a bad plane.

    Eight balls - like in Russian billiards! Your generation has done everything to make this issue a problem for the country!
