"Su-30 ceded superiority to Gripen E": US press on the appearance of new fighters in South America

On October 23 in Brazil, during the Air Force Day parade, the first newest fighter, the Gripen E, from a batch of 36 aircraft purchased from Sweden, was officially presented. The appearance of this machine in South America can seriously change the combat deployment in the skies of the continent.

This opinion is expressed by the Military Watch USA (USA):

The delivery of the first Gripen E fighters to the Brazilian Air Force marks the beginning of a major shift in the balance of air power in South America.

The new machine is intended to replace the F-5E Tiger II - the only combat aircraft of the Brazilian Air Force before, which was "virtually useless against modern opponents in aerial combat." If we take into account Brazil's lack of ground-based air defense systems, then its former defenselessness against air threats becomes clear. Neighboring Venezuela was clearly in the lead in this regard.

Venezuelan Su-30MK2 heavyweight fighter jets were considered the most combat-ready combat aircraft in the Americas outside the United States.

- notes the publication, pointing out that the supply of "Gripen" "will seriously upset the advantage of Venezuela."

Unlike the F-5 fighter, which fought back in Vietnam, the Gripen E is equipped with the latest systems: Meteor air-to-air missiles, powerful AFAR radar and effective electronic warfare systems. Military Watch believes that all this equipment is 20 years ahead of the systems equipped with the Su-30MK2.

As indicated, the Gripen E loses to the Su-30 in flight characteristics, but in all other respects it is clearly at its best. For example, the Su-30 is equipped with a radar that is twice as large as that installed on the Gripen. However, the quality of the radar on the Swedish aircraft allows it to fight out of sight of a Russian fighter jet.

As a result, according to Military Watch, the Su-30 lost its superiority to the Gripen E, a new force dominating the South American sky.

Brazilian observers are clearly excited. Even with new avionics, their Gripenes will not be able to totally dominate the air in South America. It's more like 1: 1.

Oooh well, it means that our probable "partners" have an amazing chance to humiliate us. A light fighter of the 3rd echelon manufacturer will destroy one of our most advanced air superiority fighters (I know that MFI, but a direct descendant of the Su-27)
Only problemma for them that this is just chatter and show-off. They themselves know about it.

Until Russia pulls up the element base to the European level, it will not achieve an advantage in the air. When will this happen?

The question is rhetorical.

[mintai_kot]

How can you compare these two aircraft ?! drying is a two-keel, twin-engine aircraft and therefore the thrust-to-weight ratio is much higher with all that it implies plus a variable thrust vector. Aircraft were created to perform different tasks

[Ingenegr]

Both aircraft are designed primarily for air combat. The priority targets for both "Drying" and "Grippen" are enemy aircraft. Therefore, the tasks of these aircraft are, plus or minus, the same. Thrust-to-weight ratio, i.e. the ratio of engine thrust to aircraft weight, for the Su-30 in afterburner mode at normal takeoff weight is 1.0, at maximum takeoff weight - 0.72. The corresponding values ​​for "Grippen" are 0.96 and 0.58. With the maximum non-afterburner mode and normal takeoff weight, the thrust-to-weight ratio will be 0.62 and 0.6 for the Su and Grippen, respectively. Where is the significant superiority of the 30th here?
And what does the thrust-to-weight ratio have to do with success or failure in DVB?

Until Russia brings up the element base to the European level

Let me disagree with you. The advantage in the air is determined not by the presence of a particular aircraft model, but by the quality of the pilot's training (the number of flight hours).
What you have correctly noticed is the apparent lag in the element base of the electronics. But that's not all. In addition to avionics, there are mechanics, and the same tires on the chassis ...
As for the preferences of Brazil, Russia, apart from the organization (BRICS) on the South American continent, cannot oppose anything. Our own production facilities cannot cope with the modernization and production of new aircraft. Where will someone be there to serve overseas partners?
And customers need guarantees and strong arguments in the superiority of the product.
So, most likely Russia has lost its superiority in marketing.

Those, everyone, "killers of Sushki" have already been advertised so much ... I can't remember all of them.
As always, we return to the determining factor ... including the fact that the point is not entirely in the bobbin, there is also a gasket, between the steering wheel and the parachute!

Well, given the inconclusive results of the confrontation between the Indian Su-30s and the rather old Pakistani F-16s, doubts about the superiority of the Su-30 over the Gripen E with the Meteor missile are more than justified.

[rocket757]

If you remember the past, the P-39 did not play with the Yankees and the Airacobra, but our pilots taught her to fly and fight as it should!
I do not state anything for sure, because there is much that is not clear and anything can play or not play! From "gasket" at the helm, to a specific modification, type of weapons, training and quality maintenance.
I'm for the fact that you shouldn't say GOP until ...

Well, the Indians then scribbled - the raid was then massive and the forces were unequal - not in favor of the descendants of the brahmanas and kshatriyas.

[the Saint]

Yes, the forces were unequal. 8 F-16 versus 12.
According to the Indian command, a dozen fighters flew to intercept - two MiG-21, six Mirage 2000 and four Su-30MKI.
From the Indian point of view, the Pakistanis were walking in two groups. The first consisted of sixteen multipurpose JF-17s, whose task was to bombard the positions of the Indian army. The second group, manned by eight F-16s, provided cover from enemy fighters.
The enemy air group barely managed to cross the border when the Pakistanis realized they had been spotted. JF-17s urgently dropped their bomb load and began to go under the protection of the F-16. They fired air-to-air missiles towards the approaching Indian Air Force.
One of the missiles fired shot down an Indian MiG-21.

[basmach]

Retreating does not mean that there was a battle and he was defeated or shot down. Don't wishful thinking.

[Misha_an26]

Technique in the hands of a fool is a piece of iron. Not by me said. And there are a lot of examples. Russian air defense in the hands of the Syrians is one of them.

[Vitaminchik05]

In addition to the equipment itself, the "straight-handedness" of the pilots and the appropriate training of both crews and service personnel play a very important role. As the experience of the Middle East shows, if an incompetent / unprepared crew manages a complex technique, this is just a target / piece of meat for the enemy. And the initial steepness of the technique does not play a special role.

Any combat system is a complex, including the one who controls it. Well, you compared 2 AFAR-Luchshe.nu long-range missiles. Conclusion that the plane is better? I disagree. There are defense systems, a rab. Pilot training level and experience. There are other factors as well. You can argue endlessly, but conclude that it is better only in one parameter - this is amateurism!

Gripen E loses to the Su-30 in flight characteristics, but in all other respects it is clearly at its best

The characteristic "is on top" can be understood as not inferior to a Russian-made aircraft.

The Su-30 ceded its superiority to the Gripen E, the new force dominating the South American skies.

Is this already proven by air battles (at least training ones) or is it enough that the American media decided so?

In vain you, analytics are one of the best sides of the United States. Do you think in vain dozens of scouts fly around Kaliningrad and Crimea every day. On day X all this will affect. At 41, the Germans also flew, they thought, let them fly. Winter won't help now.

[akarfoxhound]

The Germans had intelligence that worked for the Wehrmacht, the mattresses have modern "analytics", the above is a typographic journalistic publication, this is an advertising office working for business. And what they write about the work of their own P-8 off the coast of Russia is the same empty-headed crap, as well as from our "analyst" journalists, who have nothing to do with intelligence or the army in general (with distinction, overseas their colleagues earn good money from advertising, ours for a modest editorial fee) Many in it, in the army, were not even half a Monday, but they believe that after reading the same journalism with "figures" from the same colleagues in the "club", like something then they understand. An example is the same local "analyst" Damantsev, divorced from the realities of battle, where is a miracle!

Venezuelan Su-30mk2s were outdated even then, 10-15 years ago, so there is no secret here. AFAR still decides in this case.

Su-30mk2 even then, 10-15 years ago, were morally obsolete, so there is no secret. AFAR still decides in this case.
I will frankly note that you are in captivity of your own illusions. From your commentary it is quite clear to me that you are in no way on the flight side (ie, just a couch "expert"). To clarify your misconceptions, watch this video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ePwd2B331U&feature=emb_logo
Before flying to America, Kharchevsky and his colleagues shoveled all the secret literature on the F-15, and it turned out that the Su-27 had no chance in the entire range of altitudes and speeds. But an order is an order, they flew to the amers. Arrived, looked ... and beat amers in all battles!
Correctly here you (and you like you) here in plain text write that the superiority of technology does not guarantee victory. It all depends on the training of the pilot. And this is not a myth. Something like this.

[d4rkmesa]

Hehe, I am basically "sofa", but I would have been involved in the flight - I would not shine, and would not measure and share with some local meager pseudo-patriots info, which I have. It is pleasant to be in illusions, up to a certain point, here recently the Armenians discovered a lot of new things. Yes, yes, it all depends on the training of the pilot, but where can you get a lot of them, for $ 10 million apiece? How many of these will be typed in all videoconferencing, 2-3 hundreds? I doubt it. Note, you have written a lot of text, but nothing in essence, apparently you do not want to explain anything to the "sofa". They gave an example of 30 years ago. But where does Gripen and the Venezuelan Su-30mk2 have to do with it? The Venezuelan Su-30s were already worse then, 14 years ago, than the Indian ones with the Bars. It makes no sense to even compare with the Swedish AFAR in 2020. The swallow was already this year: the Chinese, as you know, trained with the Thais on the Gripen, there is infa on the network, believe it or not - your right.

But an order is an order, they flew to the amers. They flew in, looked ... And they beat amers in all battles! lol

Americans always lose to everyone in training battles. We lost to Indian dryers and European typhoons. And always with a crushing score. Here we can draw 2 conclusions: either "everything is bad", or "there are no real opportunities."

[K-36]

Nasdaq Americans always lose to everyone in training battles ... either "everything is bad" or "they do not shine with real opportunities."
Roman, if you watched the video I posted, You should have heard from the words of Kharchevsky that amers have a "long arm" in priority, and close air combat is on the sidelines. That the Americans did not want to succumb, so Kharchevsky specifically highlighted this. However, the video for me is nothing more than a small sketch for a big picture. For even before the appearance of all these video interviews, I was present in a large conference room, where Kharchevsky reported in detail on all the details of this trip (from preparation to landing at his home airfield). I will share some memories. 1. Mysteries of geography. The numerical value of the meridian (in our hemisphere) is growing ( ) from zero degrees at Greenwich to 180 degrees in Chukotka. In Anadyr - an extreme landing (almost 180 deg. Longitude) before flying to America. But after the one hundred and eightieth degree, it is by no means 181, but again the 179th. Oh how And the jammed navigation program thinks that if the longitude value increases, then you are flying east (and vice versa). The program does not know if the plane is over Khabarovsk at 135 degrees or is already flying up to San Francisco? There was a stir for all the Air Force It lasted about five days (according to my memories IMHO). But we solved all this problem.
2. Why did the engines of our Su-27UB stand up? Because the F-15 has only 4 kerosene injectors, while ours have either 12 or 16. Plus, the Americans have filled in "lightweight" kerosene. when our team decided to jump over the thunderclouds, climbing 14 km, then there was not enough air to enrich the mixture. The engines stopped.
3, Why didn't ours bail out with failed engines? Actually, the decision to bailout was made, but only as an extreme of the measures taken, and only on "command" (Kharchevsky, of course). But this "command" did not follow. It was for this situation that I at that time deduced for myself definition of what a "cool pilot" is... Firstly, it is the School (with its rich experience, traditions and mentality). Secondly, it is physical endurance (healthy eating, healthy lifestyle and regular exercise). Thirdly, it is dedication, the ability at the right time to bring together knowledge and will, Well, and "the cherry on the cake" - the Russian character (sometimes it is equated with Russian ingenuity).
4. At what altitude did our aircraft come out of the dive? I know from the words of Kharchevsky. But in his video interviews, he did not dwell on this, therefore, I should not.
But he saw fit to voice his sincere opinion about the Americans: they will never be brothers to us... They have a different mentality ...
And finally. Watch this video (you can from the 15th minute).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IPANWY7Atg
In it, he tells how the French tried to "shoe" him, thereby dispelling his glory as an unsurpassed air fighter. Prepared a special capkan (counting on ...). Only their Kharchevsky "made"!
Here I take my leave

[d4rkmesa]

Your example only confirms the rule, there are almost no special people anywhere. Once upon a time doctors were called "doctors", but now there are almost no doctors (there are up to 100 thousand people in cities). Take a look around. Only acceptance of reality and technocratization can somehow save the situation. But who wants to accept unpleasant things? Stop praying for an outdated flanker with outdated radar.

Gripen with afar on the head is steeper than su30, it was not for nothing that the Brazilians bought them, not su35

[Petio]

Between the radar N001VP, which stands on the Venezuelan Su-30 microvolts and the N035 Irbis, which on the Su-35s is a big difference - about 2 times in target detection and more in noise immunity

[Andylw]

Well, the Brazilians are not fools - they took it all into account!
moreover, we suggested that they also transfer technologies, organize assembly in brazil.
They chose Gripen anyway.
In terms of avionics, the Su-35 loses to all western modern modifications of fighters 4+

[d4rkmesa]

That's right, even Bars is better, but for some reason pseudo-patriots are bombing from the fact that the radar 30 years old (well, ok - 15 years old, by the date of production) is inferior to the Swedish radar with AFAR, released in 2020.

[Zaurbek]

Su30, and Su35 already need to be modernized ..... Avionics and AFAR for Su57 appear. It is necessary to produce it in large quantities (not 76 pieces only for the Su57) ..... The Americans have already mastered this path with the F16 viper and the F15EX are examples of this.

[Zaurbek]

It will be brought to the level of Su35S and this is great ... but competitors have started to install AFAR ... and customers want Afar

[Runoway]

Yes, there, frankly, and in the Su-57 in avionics it is sad, it is only in the "advertising" of our military-industrial complex he is superior in everything. And it is so sad that, as the engineers say, "if the hard workers were paid more, then many of the nodes would have served longer"

[ZEMCH]

Pilots are fighting on airplanes, it all depends on their training and skills in using specific equipment. The Su-30MK2 is a heavy fighter, and the JAS 39 Gripen is light, the range of the Gripen is almost two times inferior to the Su-30. You can write anything you want, but only a real collision will show the capabilities of the aircraft

[Jacket in stock]

Quote: ZEMCH

in flight range, the Gripen is almost twice as short as the Su-30.

Do you think it will not fly somewhere?
It is more important who is inferior to whom in terms of detection and aiming range.

Quote: Jacket in stock

Meteor and R-77 have the same range, 100 km

[Ingenegr]

To put it mildly, this is not the case. The base R-77 has a maximum launch range of 80 km, while the later R-77-1 has 110 km. "Meteor" flies 150 km at a noticeably higher average speed.

[TermNachTer]

South. America is very big, Brazil is also rather big, there is where to fly. So the flight range is one of the main factors, and according to it "gripena" loses much

[migsu]

It's funny to read baby talk from the sandbox!

[Bat039]

Either the F-15 of the US Air Force in joint exercises with the Indian Air Force lost to the Indians on the Su-30 with a devastating score. Grippen has its merits, such as a reverse engine and the ability to use small runways, but this lightweight fighter is not a competitor to the Su-30. Brazil's purchase of Swedish aircraft is purely a policy.

[Bersaglieri]

No, it's just that the Brazilians decided to finally change the easy one for the light one (the F-5 is already "super-xacals"). Brazil has no natural enemies, except for the internal ones, in the favelas.
