Russian Su-30SM first approached the Italian Air Force F-35A fighter in the skies over the Baltic Sea

152

It was confirmed that the Russian Su-30SM fighter "met" the F-35A fighter of the Italian Air Force in the skies over the Baltic Sea. An American-made 5th generation Italian fighter jet flew in the so-called "air police" format. This format in NATO structures involves patrolling the airspace of the Baltic republics aviation allies and protection of the air borders of these countries.

Earlier it was reported that the Italian F-35A arrived in Estonia on a rotational basis and located at the air base in the town of Emari. Earlier, the fighters of the FRG Air Force were deployed there.

The Russian fighter flew in a parallel course with the Italian Air Force "Air Police" fighter, approaching a relatively short distance. Having demonstrated the missile armament to the Italian pilot, the Su-30SM began to gradually move away from the fifth generation fighter.

It is noted that this is the first case of such a rapprochement between the Su-30SM and the F-35A in stories.

Russian Su-30SM first approached the Italian Air Force F-35A fighter in the skies over the Baltic Sea


In the ministries of defense of the Russian Federation, Italy and the Baltic countries this "meeting", about which сообщает "Military Observer", in the sky over the Baltic Sea has not yet commented.

At the same time, experts believe that the increasing appearance of the F-35 near the Russian borders is NATO's actions to monitor air defense systems. The main task may be related to whether F-35 fighters can remain invisible to Russian air defense calculations in the Kaliningrad region.

      What is the Italian word for “This is unprofessional and irresponsible!”? laughing

      By the way, I find it amusing that the F-35, unlike our fighter, has nothing to show except for a naked belly. lol

        Didn't he show him the middle finger? In my opinion, this is why the Defense Ministries have not yet commented on this meeting. Polite words are looking for

          I remember the old "Yeralash", where the kid was given a hat, and convinced that it was an invisible hat.
          And he did different kinds of game.
          And then he realized that he was n ... deceived. And he was crazy.
          So this Italian is fucked up, how he was found

            So this Italian is fucked up, how he was found

            Who found whom? Another big question: information about whether we see their stealth, and they are ours, is a state secret, which is possessed by only a few specialists. In any case, the Su30 is not a stealth and it was definitely herded from far away, so our pilot was more likely to be fucking. I understand that it is not patriotic, but logical.
            Here is the meeting of f22 / 35 with Su57 is a completely different matter: there really a meeting can turn out to be a mutual surprise (especially in mountainous terrain), and already at a close combat distance, where superiority depends already on maneuverability

              There is no conspiracy. F-35s in a non-combat situation fly (so as not to reveal the real radar portrait of the aircraft) with lenses and they can be seen like a flashlight in the night.

              It goes without saying, because the weapons are in the compartments.
              I don't see a sensation if the pilots looked at it visually. Each completed his task and dispersed.

              Why the hell would he be? At our borders, the F-35 was hardly looking for a meeting with the Su-30. The situation when our found an Italian looks more logical, and not vice versa.

                Do you have enough reason to understand that "borders" are at least two sides involved ????
                Our border ends where the Estonian, Latvian, Lithuanian begins.
                And vice versa.
                And our Su-30SM was, accordingly, close to their borders.
                So there is a meeting of two planes, where each is near its own borders.

              Initially, there was an escort of the propeller side, most likely our An-12BK (judging by the engines and wingtips) by the Italian F-35 from the left side, quite close ("sucking the wing" on the airplane) to the left of the Italian Su-30 approached, most likely raised from DS, ours approached at a distance, without pinching the 35th between himself and the heavy cargo. The Italian, seeing the interceptor, rolled off to the left, in a relatively free direction, which he did quite competently (well, not on the transport to the right). He settled down to the right of 35, "sketched" to each other, then ours showed the suspension, as a warning, the Italian rolled off. Everything was mutually literate and mutually polite, everyone did their job.
              NATO members regularly (but not always) climb to our military "big" aircraft flying into the Kaliningrad enclave, ours and the DS pick up interceptors, the adversary retreats, everything is banal, routine, daily. You are right, who saw whom there and on the basis of what they raised the DS - they will not tell the layman, the rest is idle chatter

          Experts believe that the increasing appearance of the F-35 near the Russian borders is NATO's actions to monitor air defense systems. The main task may be related to whether F-35 fighters can remain invisible to Russian air defense calculations in the Kaliningrad region.


          As you can see, the "Italian" was spotted and intercepted. For now, conditionally, a fighter, but in a real combat situation ground and naval air defense systems will work with a real demonstration of the damaging properties of air defense missile systems ...

          can F-35 fighters remain invisible to Russian air defense crews in the Kaliningrad region.

          Answer ... Maybe, if these F35s stay away from the borders of the Kaliningrad region and Russia as a whole)))


          And the borders of Poland, the Balts - where will you go?

          Or are we only allowed to defend our borders?
          Balts, Poles, Swedes and other NATO members - you can't defend their borders according to your opinion?

          Don't spawn entities, sometimes it's funny it's just funny.

          So, it is enough to roll the Su-30 aside to demonstrate the weapons, and the F-35 will have to open the doors for this, which will most likely be perceived by the start of the attack.

                  As an aircraft cannon, I consider the Russian Gryazev-Shipunov GSh-30-1 to be the best in its class. In fact, it has remarkable performance considering that it uses an "old-fashioned" single-chamber, short-recoil mechanism, similar in principle to a Browning machine gun from World War II. In terms of performance, it is equal to BK 27, but weighs half as much. Instead of GIAT 30M791, two GSh-30s could be carried.
                  However, I would prefer other cartridges. If the ammunition of the 30 x 165 Russian guns were loaded with lighter projectiles to increase muzzle velocity, their aerial combat capabilities would be improved at the cost of some loss in the effectiveness of ground attacks. But this can be explained by the exact choice. A ground attack from a cannon has a higher priority than using a cannon in aerial combat.

          It depends not so much on the aircraft, but much more on the characteristics of the melee missiles. In the Anglo-Argentine war, the Harriers had an all-round version of the Sidewinder, and the Argentine Mirages (Israeli-built) had an old version of the same missile. As a result, the air combat score is deplorable for Argentina.

      It was confirmed that the Russian Su-30SM fighter "met" the F-35A fighter of the Italian Air Force in the skies over the Baltic Sea.

      Well, yes, he flew, flew Su - 30 CM, and accidentally saw the "invisible". belay

      as another user correctly noted, besides the cannon, the weapon is in the inner compartment. Although, if desired, it can be configured with external loads. Then the plane has a low radar signature and is not invisible to the human eye. You will need a rainbow PREDATOR suit. Apart from this beautiful photo, it's always nice to compare 2 live planes. I forgot, I think the pros respect the pros, so kidding aside, these riders exchanged professional warnings.

          with a high degree of probability, he was there not only with lenses, but also with the transponder turned on, so for example right now on the border of Lithuania with Kaliningprad there is a scout Beechcraft and an incomprehensible drone both with transponders, there is too heavy traffic to fly without it

        You thought wrong. A detailed analysis of what happened will begin: the study of the recorded data and, if possible, the negotiations of the pilots.

      judging by the photo, everything was strictly the opposite - the Su-30 was accompanied by the Il, and the F-35 approached them in the same air police mode - it was his direct task, in general, to visually identify the detected Russian aircraft.

The Italian Ministry of Defense "" two F-35A aircraft of the Air - Baltic Eagle II, stationed at the Yamari airport in Estonia, were activated by the NATO Joint Aviation Operations Center (CAOC) in Udem (Germany) with a quick takeoff. not to intercept an unidentified aircraft in NATO's area of ​​competence. The aircraft was joined by two Italian fighters during a flight over the international waters of the Baltic Sea.
      The F-35A completed the required Visual Identification (VID) procedure and returned to the airbase at the end of hostilities. alarming mission transponders have been disabled.
