New - well forgotten old: the most powerful fighters of the fourth generation

136

The fifth generation is faced with quite obvious difficulties inherent in any new technology. Bringing these machines to a fully operational state can take years. Thus, now, as at the end of the century, the basis of the power of the Air Force (even if we are talking about the leading Western countries) are the machines of the previous generation - the fourth. In some respects, they are in no way inferior to the same F-35.

Nowadays, several fighters of the 4 + (+) generation can be distinguished, which can be a real competitor to full-fledged "invisible". Among them are American, European and Russian cars.



F-15EX


Home aviation event early February - the first flight of the deeply modernized F-15 fighter for the US Air Force, designated F-15EX. It took place on February 2 at Boeing's St. Louis facility.

It makes no sense to analyze in detail the performance characteristics of the new aircraft: in our time, "dry" figures about the flight range, maximum speed and ceiling say little. Much more important, for example, are measures to reduce radar signature (although the developers rarely talk about this "out loud").


However, the F-15EX has its own distinct advantages that make it stand out from any aircraft.

This is, first of all, the composition of the weapons. The aircraft can carry up to 22 guided air-to-air missiles. This is more than any other fighter, including fifth-generation vehicles, can take: at least within the framework of existing weapons configurations. The vehicle will also be able to use a wide arsenal of air-to-surface weapons, including promising hypersonic models.

The two-seater fighter has a powerful AN / APG-82 radar with an active phased antenna array, which is probably capable of effectively detecting even stealthy fighters (the issue of their detection range remains open). According to some reports, the US Air Force ultimately wants to receive about 200 new fighters. They are considered primarily as a replacement for the rapidly aging F-15C / D.

F / A-18 Block III Super Hornet


If the most powerful "four" of the US Air Force will be the modernized F-15, then Boeing presented a "gift" for the US Navy in the form of an updated version of the Super Hornet. The car made its first test flight last year. The plane that took off into the sky is similar to the "regular" F / A-18E / F: as far as can be judged, it has become something of a test bench.


Production cars will receive very noticeable improvements. First of all, attention is drawn to the conformal fuel tanks, which increase the combat radius. Other improvements include an updated Infrared Search and Track (IRST) outboard container and a large touchscreen display to the cockpit.

Broadly speaking, IRST is not new. However, modern technologies make it as sensitive as possible, which, for example, will make it possible to more efficiently identify inconspicuous aircraft. At the same time, you need to understand that IRST Block II will never be a full-fledged replacement for a radar.

Another major improvement to the F / A-18 Block III Super Hornet is the new in-cockpit display measuring 10x19 inches. It is in stark contrast to the "miniature" (by modern standards, of course) displays of early Super Hornets. In modern warfare, when the pilot has to deal with a huge amount of data, this is a fundamentally important improvement.

Dassault Rafale


French Rafale needs no introduction.

In short, the vehicle combines excellent flight performance, reduced radar signature (however, it is not a "stealth" in the classical sense) and a very wide range of weapons.

There are three versions: Rafale C (single seater land variant), Rafale M (single seater naval variant), and Rafale B (two seater land variant).

In the course of life, the car received many updates. One of the main ones is the modern Thales RBE2 active phased array radar. Recall that until recently in the arsenal of the Russian Aerospace Forces there was not a single fighter with a radar of this type.


The undoubted advantage of Rafale, distinguishing it from the background of overseas machines, is the newest long-range air-to-air missile MBDA Meteor, equipped with a sustainer ramjet engine, which allows maintaining the highest flight speed along the entire trajectory, up to hitting the target (flight speed missiles - more than M = 4).

The missile's firing range is 100 kilometers. However, it must be assumed that when firing at a highly maneuverable target of the "fighter" type, the effective range will still be significantly shorter. Nonetheless, a number of Western observers consider the Meteor the most dangerous air-to-air missile and the Dassault Rafale one of the deadliest fighters on Earth.

Eurofighter Typhoon


This car can be called "neglected".

Nevertheless, in terms of the amount of flight performance, it is (at least) not inferior to the Rafale. And, most likely, even slightly superior to the French plane.


If we talk about weapons, then the machines are similar. Typhoon, like the Dassault Rafale, can use the MBDA Meteor missile.

One of the vehicle's features is the ability to carry Brimstone missiles. Due to its low weight (about 50 kg) and dimensions, one fighter can theoretically take up to 18 such products.

The real revolution here can be its development in the person of SPEAR3, which, among other things, has a range of up to 140 kilometers. Flight testing of the SPEAR missile demonstrators from the Eurofighter Typhoon began in 2014, and the UK Department of Defense awarded a £ 550 million contract for the purchase of SPEAR3 in January 2021.

The weak point of the Eurofighter Typhoon is the radar station. The aircraft is equipped with a relatively old CAPTOR radar. She will be replaced in the future.

Recall that last year Airbus received a major contract for the installation of a Captor-E radar station with AFAR on the German Air Force Eurofighter Typhoon fighters and part of the Spanish Typhoons. Also in 2020, a contract for equipping a new radar with an active phased antenna array was signed by the British Ministry of Defense.

Su-35С


The most powerful and modern Russian fighter of the 4 + (+) generation is undoubtedly the Su-35S. Earlier, there was information about the modernization of the Su-30SM, which implies, in particular, the installation of the AL-41F-1S engine (the same as on the Su-35S).

However, even in this case, the Su-35S fighter will remain a more advanced machine, equipped with a relatively modern radar with a phased antenna array "N035 Irbis", which, according to available information, is very much superior to the Su-30SM N0011M "Bars" radar.


For all its merits, the "SM" is in a broad sense a "Russified" version of the export Su-30MKI: a machine that is very successful on the market, but far from new.

Among the main advantages of its successor, the Su-35S, is the advanced optical-location station OLS-35, which increases the chances of meeting the fifth generation, as well as outstanding maneuverability and excellent flight range.

One of the main "highlights" is the possibility of using the R-37M air-to-air missile, the range of which, according to some sources, reaches 300 kilometers. Previously, missiles with such indicators were carried only by Russian interceptors based on the MiG-31.

Together with the ability to carry medium-range air-to-air missiles RVV-AE (conventional analogue of the American AMRAAM), R-27T / ET with an infrared homing head, as well as short-range R-73 - the arsenal for hitting air targets is more than impressive ...

      Good things are good, only the description of the advantages is somehow strange (the size of the displays, the number of short-range missiles, etc.)
      And the question is, where is the MiG-31? Air combat is more difficult than pure numbers with performance characteristics. For example, when firing at the MiG-31 at catch-up or with a large value of the parameter, the range of destruction drops significantly. In catch-up, the max speed of a rocket from Mach 4 suddenly turns into a relative speed of 1 Mach. And the author of the joke also wrote that the speed of the type is not important.

        You are right, but MIG-31, I think the only example. MIG is generally an exception to the rule - no one else except us has such planes .. the probability of meeting "conventional" fighters in the air is many times higher, so, nevertheless, exceptions do not refute the rule ..

                Tomket was armed with a Phoenix not for maneuverable combat and this is all the similarity, but he was well adapted to maneuvering combat, which the MiG-31 never has.

                  we are talking about the main function of intercepting and transporting missiles.
                  in this regard, the cars are similar, both had good electronic equipment, although the mig-31 is still much better, both cars are two-seater. And the fact that the tomcat is more maneuverable is the specifics of the fitting. But the instant-31 could fly much faster at supersonic speed. When the Indians ordered dry fighters, they needed two-seaters just from the experience of tomket.

                    Tomcat was an air superiority destroyer with interceptor functions. Mig is a pure interceptor. This is a big difference. Hence the difference in speed and cruising supersonic Mig, which Tomket does not have, and the difference in electronics and maneuverability. A crew of two is a function of the number of tasks to be solved, but this is only an external similarity. The F-15X has two people not at all for the same purpose as the Mig, but there are also two of them.

                      no air superiority fighter he was
                      industry excellence is possible.
                      Its main and main goal was defensive - to defend the Aug at a great distance.
                      It was for this that he armed himself with a phoenix. In other words, the rocket is strange. The probability of a drop of 0.13 and the lack of launch training due to the high cost is something.
                      There was no question of the struggle for supremacy, for this the F-15 and F-16 were created and the ATF program was almost immediately started.

                        The F-16 has never been a superiority fighter. And between the F-14 and the F-15 there was even a struggle for this "position" for one period, but the F-15 definitely defeated the Air Force in general, the F-14 was abandoned altogether, but the F-14 was more suitable for the fleet for various reasons, and they stopped there. ...

                        the F-14 program was insanely expensive and highly specialized. In principle, he could not argue with the F-15. F-14 is a very cool aircraft, but this is also its drawback.

        MiG31 interceptor, it is not intended for air combat with an equal aircraft. And, as they noticed here, he has no equal, he is the only one. It is for meeting fat and large. And who will shoot at him? Although Mach 1 for the approach speed is not the worst speed. It will catch up anyway. And this clumsy piece of iron will not be able to dodge.

          The MiG-31 is a heavy interceptor for long-range air combat and can easily engage targets with the RVV-BD R-37M that have an overload capacity when maneuvering.
          10 g, the pilot can no longer take it.
          The overload capacity of the R-37M during maneuvering is more than 22 g, which is more than enough. R-37M with ARGSN - easily hits stealth aircraft, including F-22 and F-35!

            More careful with the numbers. 22 for a rocket with a 2 times difference in rocket-airplane speed, the normal overload with the same radius for an airplane will not be 22, but only 5 and a half. V square divided by radius and g. And don't mention g ("Same") in overload. It is measured in units.
            That is why overload 43 is laid for melee missiles. respectfully hi

            He does not strike anything like that, he is generally not for combat with stealth and radar, not for meeting modern electronic warfare at combat distances at medium and short distances. And in the case of a stealth maneuver on a super cruise, they attack him with missiles at a dull oncoming angle, from which there would not be enough speed even higher than his speed to get away. Let me remind you that the speed of 2.8M in the 31st is achieved not at all immediately, and the maximum cruising speed on a partial farce is 2.35M. Whereas the rocket has about 4M with a much higher overload capacity.

The squirrel doesn't find anything beyond 77v1 or 81, according to open sources. I already wrote to you above that the detection data, which are known additionally only on the head-on course along the normal to the antenna. What happens when the direction of detection with PFAR is deviated, I have already written that before comparing the AFAR, then given the number of transmitters-receivers, the western one should also have an advantage in lateral detection.
              And yes, physically, it may be that the PFAR radar is farther on the target along the course than the AFAR and is closer at the side views, and it was not my idea, it is described with a physical explanation of why this is possible. Moreover, 77v1 and 81 have no less range and heading.

                  And now from not mine and not written by me information about the shortcomings of PFAR against AFAR:
                  /// the advantage of AFAR over PFAR is that the drop in the detection range with significant deviations of the beam from the normal to the antenna web is due only to a decrease in the projection area of ​​the antenna aperture to the normal to this direction. In PFAR, this is also added to the attenuation of the signal in the delay lines, which is proportional to the phase shift or, the delay time.

                  Now about the APG-77v1:
                  /// It is believed that a range of 400 km or more is possible, compared to a goal of 1 m2 (11 square feet), with the APG-77v1 with the new GaAs modules, while using narrower beams.///

                      To check what I don't know, I looked through the lectures compiled on the radar based on Bakulev and Belotserkovsky and found out that all your mantras about my great knowledge of the very basics of the subject being discussed (and I did not claim deep knowledge) is complete garbage, but your completely uninformative posts - pure demogogy. I turned out to be right in the fact that today coherent signal processing is not a block of static, non-programmable electronic circuits, but an AD or TI DSP system, as well as Xlins or Altera programmable logic. In particular, Armor uses AD signaling processes. And not what you rubbed, professor of sour cabbage soup from far-forgotten days. Only something relevant can be compensated for by the gain, and if there is nothing relevant at the input, which a system with the appropriate resolution can recognize, since the result will be a conglomeration of system and random measurement errors, then only garbage can be amplified, and this even without touching on the question of the induced active interference.

I point out to another about the inability to explain, start again with your own inability and, most importantly, unwillingness to explain anything.

And the optimal receiver shows only what needs to be done, not how, but this can be done in various ways, including without any "process", and the result will be the same !!!

                        Well, apply the term coherent processing to an incoherent signal! What? Does not work! An optimal receiver is one of the foundations of radar theory, and it is better than it in terms of signal-to-noise ratio, and it can be implemented in various ways! And all this nonsense that you wrote, performance, scalability, software, refers to only one of these methods, namely digital signal processing, which also has certain disadvantages.

                        It is not necessary to introduce a marching step where it is not needed. This is not a parade. Then it will be easier to walk. The optimal receiver is, first of all, a mathematical model under the conditions of the problem, change the conditions of the problem and it will cease to be optimal. Let me give you an example. I have found the opinion that more than 1500 T / R in AFAR is considered unacceptable if their price is above a certain value. But in 77v1 and 81 under 2000 modules and Arsenides Galia it is still expensive. So what is acceptable and what is not? And it depends on the task at hand. Another example, in the aforementioned literature, the statistics of errors are considered, dancing from the normal distribution law, and this is not true in practice. Etc. etc. And nonsense is what you wrote about signal / noise.

                        If you don't understand, then the optimal receiver is built for the signal emitted by the radar, and not for some randomly received one. And the detection threshold is set in accordance with the required level of false alarms, and no Bakulev will tell you the specifics of this in his lectures, only general "la-la" will give you.

                        Namely, because the required level of false alarms it presents theoretically beautifully, only it has not been so required and not so defined for a long time, and the wrong distributions are taken as a basis. And the receiver can receive such a phony, in which the signal does not necessarily exceed the noise. Also, false alarms must be defined as false, and not false targets of real emitters or specially induced signals that look like real signatures.
                        And what is considered to be the optimal receiver, strongly depends on what the DSP and the programmable logic can adaptively subtract at the input, based on the knowledge of the output signal and threshold signatures. And the signal of a maneuvering target, in addition to everything still covered by electronic warfare, with an emphasis not only on suppressing the signal-to-noise ratio, but also on the generation of the so-called. random errors that do not fall under the normal distribution and noise packets far from Gaussian noise, it cannot qualify otherwise than random.

So in fact, the noise can significantly exceed the signal in practice.

    Among the main advantages of its successor, the Su-35S, is the advanced optical-location station OLS-35, which increases the chances of meeting the fifth generation, as well as outstanding maneuverability and excellent flight range.

    the advantage of the Su-35 in comparison with the 30 is the much more advanced IMS based on the multiprocessor on-board computer "Baget-53-31M".
    which, according to the available information, is very much superior to the Su-30SM N0011M Bars radar.

I already wrote to you that the maximum detection range of a single-channel PFAR in a collision course of a consistently approaching target has nothing to do with its ability to detect subtle maneuvering targets at a significant deviation angle away from the normal with respect to the transmitter, in contrast to the multichannel AFAR and especially in conditions of use of electronic warfare. Therefore, all your calculations are calculations of a spherical horse in a vacuum, with the meaning of the word counting in Russian, which have nothing in common. And especially if we consider that the image intensifier tubes F-22, F-35 in English-language sources are not even close to the ones you sound, then this is also simple informational disinformation, designed to calm the patriotic layman.

                Given that one of the indicative weaknesses of a radar with one channel is the drop in the detection range with significant deviations of the beam from the normal to the antenna web. This trivially depends on the projection area of ​​the antenna onto the normal in the direction of detection. In addition, the antenna signal also weakens when it deviates from the normal.

                There are many English-language sources and it is possible to track the degree of information reliability by them, to a greater extent than by Russian-speaking ones, in which a considerable share of information has passed through the patriotic filter of the informant. The maximum for the F-0,01 is estimated at 22. But the above mentioned claims 0.3. And the F-35A, as a minimum, meets all the requirements of the fifth generation, if you do not find fault with the cruise speed, they say supersonic starts at 1.25M, and the latter has a cruise without afterburner 1.2M. wink

        ironic - where does the Bars radar? The article cites the Su-35S, which contains the N035 Irbis radar, not the N011 Bars. And you don't have to rely entirely on electronic warfare, in reality you do not take into account many factors.

    It is clear that if you start to seriously compare the performance characteristics of avionics of aircraft (and where else to find them, real ones), then you can get a cumbersome, not very digestible, and, most importantly, not very pleasant article for our urapatriots.
    But that's not the case either.

        Well, even here it was mentioned in passing.
        Until recently, there was not a single fighter with a radar of this type in the arsenal of the Russian Aerospace Forces.

        This is when about Rafal.
        And let me remind you that there are now 1 (one!) Fighters with radars of this type in our VKS.
        Or about SU30
        For all its merits, the "SM" is in a broad sense a "Russified" version of the export Su-30MKI: a machine that is very successful on the market, but far from new.

        And if the announced modernization of the thirty to the SU35 level is limited only by the engine, as the author writes, without replacing the avionics, then this is sadness, sadness and complete hopelessness.

          Let's start with the fact that AFAR radar is not a wunderfawl. It has some positive aspects, but we are not talking about a multiple advantage (for example, in comparison with the IRBIS PAR). In terms of target detection range, the H035 is in no way inferior to Rafal's BE / RBE2.

              Well, statements for a rally of all-propals is suitable. To "make" the PPM work, phase shifters and attenuators of a particularly complex elementary base are not required. The main problems arise when reaching a "consensus" between output power, weight, heat dissipation and other parameters. Well, the price is the last decisive argument.

              you can't even explain what your "shit" is. In terms of target detection range with an image intensifier tube 1m - PAR is better. PAR is better in peak impulse. Parity in viewing angles (+/- 60), parity in the number of tracked targets (+/-). What's the shit besides your bawking?

                Yeah, so you have to figure out how to tone up such an output power in order to recognize something not only in the center, but even along one channel and what to do when you need to counteract the extended electronic warfare. The new DSP is of course a significant help, but it's like forcing a strong pitching to pull a seven-pound anchor on his back and demanding it to overtake an athlete with a bottle of water in a backpack behind him.
                It is not better, but with a much higher power of one channel, it can detect far in the center, something that is well noticeable and noticeably worse at viewing angles. With the same total power, the multichannel AFAR will detect at the same distance. With the same viewing angles, the best detection will be at the angles behind the AFAR, and with parity detection, the viewing angles will be larger. If necessary, work in the conditions of electronic warfare AFAR is much better.

    The numbers there are completely different. But even from the "old" APG-77, with proper filtering of the signal and new algorithms of work, you can get more. The software on modern processors will do it. The radar in itself is nothing, we still need to process what it will give.
    PPPS: A lot depends on electronic warfare, I don’t remember that over the past 20 years, many carriers were shot down. Although the "vaunted" S-300PMU2 participate in the DB zone, they are straight from the VKS warehouse, not cut down.

    Generation 4+ will not disappear anywhere until the air forces of most countries
    will be sated by generation 5. And the next one will not appear - unmanned.
    And there are only two models of the 5th generation on the stream: F-35 and J-20.
    And a few Su-57s, thank God.
    F-22s are no longer in production and are being phased out.
    Therefore, the 4th will upgrade for a long time.

          It is possible, but expensive. There are routine tasks for which it is better to use simpler machines. To bomb the same barmaleev.
          Therefore, I say that the 4th generation will rather replace the UAV, the 5th generation is too expensive.

            Not expensive, but even more so in perspective. The Viper's price is not far off, and the cheaper service does not match the lower aggregate capabilities. Driving the barmaley is necessary, first of all, with drones.

    Ideally, Russian fighters of the Aerospace Forces for the next 30 years will consist mainly of workhorses of 4+ generations Su-30SM, SU-35S, MIG-31BM and MIG-35 (questionable), and a small number - no more than 160 units of generation 5 - SU-57. We are silent about the deck ones, since what is there with the new aircraft carriers is not clear, and Kuzya is unlikely to be able to become a full-fledged combat unit even after repairs. His MIG-29K / KUB and SU-33, as well as the VKS SU-27s of all modifications, will be written off in 5-10 years or sent to sedimentation tanks. The motley MIG-29 remaining in the units will also be stored and scrapped. But in total, Russia will scrape together about 1200 combat aircraft. I hope.

    the F-15 did not have a reinforced hull for landing on the deck, did not have rotary wings, and did not have such sophisticated equipment. It was essentially simple and functional, even simpler than a phantom and therefore better.

    It makes no sense to analyze in detail the performance characteristics of the new aircraft: in our time, "dry" figures about the flight range, maximum speed and ceiling say little.
    Quite the opposite: they say a lot!
    Much more important, for example, measures to reduce radar signature
    This is just not very important, because airborne and ground radars perfectly see stealth aircraft. I mean Russian radars, PFAR, AFAR. Even the Soviet MiG-29 could see the "invisible".

    Good things are good, only the description of the advantages is somehow strange (the size of the displays, the number of short-range missiles, etc.)
    And the question is, where is the MiG-31? Air combat is more difficult than pure numbers with performance characteristics. For example, when firing at the MiG-31 in pursuit or with a large value of the parameter, the range of destruction drops significantly. In catch-up, the max speed of a rocket from Mach 4 suddenly turns into a relative speed of Mach 1. And the author of the joke also wrote that the type's speeds are not important.

    - Where and when did you see the MiG-31 "all of a sudden" flying at a speed of 3M ?! And he is not a front-line fighter, he is unlikely to have to meet enemy fighters, he must work in the depths of his territory, he has nothing to do at the front, he is just a target there.

    - How zadolbali you, profane, with your ignorance! Of course, any hostile stealth aircraft will be seen by any Russian radar, even on the MiG-29. There is only a "little nuance": How far will she see him ?! Will see at a distance of less than 12-10 km. When her pilot has been shot down twenty times.

    we are talking about the main function of intercepting and transporting missiles.
    in this regard, the machines are similar, both had good electronic equipment, although the mig-31 is still much better.

    - The MiG-31 is not suitable for the F-14D aircraft, - first of all, on the radar. And by its power, and by the number of simultaneously tracked targets (24 for the F-14 and 10 for the MiG-31), and by the number of targets fired at the same time (6 and 4), and by the target detection range with a standard RCS = 1 m142 (96 km and XNUMX km), in terms of noise immunity, - for the "Barrier" it is "below the plinth, just almost zero ...
    In addition the MiG-31 has no jamming station on board...

    Let's start with the fact that AFAR radar is not a wunderfawl. It has some positive aspects, but we are not talking about a multiple advantage (for example, in comparison with the IRBIS PAR). In terms of target detection range, the H035 is in no way inferior to Rafal's BE / RBE2.

    - Generally, it is inferior, if you really compare them "as expected." But since you don't know the hardware, it's almost impossible for you to believe ... laughing lol

    These spells remind me of the fable of the fox and the grapes.

    well, with your big-ass approach, it makes no sense to talk about technique
    It's just that our industry is not able to make a sane element base for the AFAR radar.

    Well, statements for a rally of all-propals is suitable. To "make" the PPM work, phase shifters and attenuators of a particularly complex elementary base are not required. The main problems arise when reaching a "consensus" between output power, weight, heat dissipation and other parameters. Well, the price is the last decisive argument.
    So the engineers have to sculpt a candy from Mr.

    you can't even explain what your "shit" is. In terms of target detection range with an image intensifier tube 1m - PAR is better. PAR is better in peak impulse. Parity in viewing angles (+/- 60), parity in the number of tracked targets (+/-). What's the shit besides your bawking?
    I understand that AFAR has certain FUNCTIONAL advantages. But they don't make a wunderwaffe out of AFAR.

    1. Range of detection of air targets Radar AN / APG-77,81 is
    300 km for purposes with Image intensifier = 3 m2.

    - Why flog this nonsense, equating two radars with different power?
    APG-77 - D obn. targets with RCS = 1 m² - 225 km in normal mode, 193 km - in LPI mode.
    APG-81 - D obn. targets with RCS = 1 m² - 160 km in normal mode, 140 km - in LPI mode.
    Su-35, IRBIS radar:
    http://militaryrussia.ru/blog/topic-533.html
    1. Detection range:
    - targets with an EPR of 3 square meters on the opposite courses - 350-400 km (in the field of view 10 x 10 degrees)
    - targets with an EPR of 3 square meters on the opposite courses - 200 km (in the field of view 17,3 x 17,3 degrees = 300 sq. degrees)
    - targets with an EPR of 3 square meters on the opposite courses against the background of the earth - 170 km (in the field of view 17,3 x 17,3 degrees = 300 sq. degrees)
    - targets with an EPR of 3 sq. m at catch-up courses - 80 km (in the field of view 17,3 x 17,3 degrees = 300 sq. degrees)
    - targets with an EPR of 3 square meters at catch-up courses on the background of the earth - 50 km (in the field of view 17,3 x 17,3 degrees = 300 sq. degrees)
    ...........................
    2. Here they forgot to add: with a signal accumulation time of 10 seconds.
    3. And we forgot to add: with the probability of detection 0.5 (in USA - 0.86).
    .............................
    We look here, APG-81, time 1: 03-1: 28:

    In 19 seconds, the beam of the directional pattern scans the angle 120x60 = 7200 square degrees (at least, possibly 120x120, but let's not be greedy) and gets a complete picture of targets at a distance of 160 km (the scale is in nautical miles).
    =============
    "Irbis" - targets with EPR 3 sq. M on a collision course - 200 km (in the viewing area 17,3 x 17,3 degrees = 300 sq. Deg.) - targets with EPR 1 sq. M. m - 152 km, - conditionally equated to the range for APG-81, - 300 sq. degrees in 10 sec.
    Compare:
    APG-81: 7200 sq. hail in 19 sec. - roughly: 7200: 19 = 380 sq. deg / sec
    Irbis: 300 sq. hail in 10 sec. - 300: 10 = 30 square degrees / sec
    That is: at the same range, to obtain the same resolution, the signal accumulation time is 380: 30 = 12.67 times longer. If we equate in power, then √√12.67 = 1.8865.
    160: 1.8865 = 85 km - at such a distance the same target will be detected by the Irbis compared to the fact that in the same time the same target will be detected by the APG-81 at a distance 160 km... According to the main radar formula:

    The Irbis is so much worse than the airborne radar that it stands on the F-35 ...

    It's nice to see so many specialists in the tactics of air combat and in the technical intricacies of avionics, but I saw the question in this article: why engage in 5th generation aviation if 4 or 4+ (4 ++) are so good.
    The question of the definition of the "5th generation" is in the air, and today it seems that this is a purely marketing move, which is determined by the monopoly North American jury, which, by the way, hastened to declare the Su-57 not meeting the requirements of the 5th generation.
    In my understanding, each buyer of these "inexpensive" toys soberly compares the means available to him and the goals that he wants to achieve.
    Example: modifications of the Tu-20, etc., which, it would seem, a place in the museum, are still in service and are still unsurpassed machines.
