"It will easily get away from the missiles of the French fighter": In South Africa, they write about the advantage of the Russian Su-35 over the French Rafale

41

Due to their high maneuverability and excellent avionics characteristics in real air combat, the fighters of the Russian Aerospace Forces will defeat the French Air Force combat aircraft. So in South Africa they talk about the advantage of the Russian Su-35 over the French Rafale.

This is reported by the South African magazine Ultimate Defense.



The main factor determining the inevitable defeat of the French fighter is the presence on board the Su-35 onboard radar station N035 "Irbis". It is capable of detecting enemy aircraft at a distance of up to 270 km, while Rafale can only spot this Russian aircraft when it is 120 kilometers away. At least that's what the South African observer claims, entering into a correspondence dispute with the manufacturers of the French combat aircraft.

And given the fact that the Su-35 is armed with long-range missiles, the French aircraft will have no chance of victory in aerial combat.


The South African expert highly estimates the Russian Irbis radar station, calling it the most powerful of all that the world military possesses. aviation.

In addition, the Su-35, according to UD, has more maneuverability than the French Rafale, which gives it an advantage even after being detected by the enemy.

With skillful piloting, the Su-35 will easily get away from the French fighter's missiles and launch a retaliatory attack at a suitable moment.

The issue of Ultimate Defense, where the comparative characteristics of the two fighters were published, was entirely devoted to the review of the Russian forum "Army-2021".

      It is high time to declare NATO a red line and give a period of two months to correct the military rudeness. And then, iron everything that goes beyond the declared line to our borders with all kinds of irons. Then they will respect, and not otherwise. How much snot can you chew?am

        Come on, let's not formulate it so seriously.
        And the picture is interesting, for filming the old 27EP are no longer hung, 77 rockets are hanging, but where did another pair of suspension points on the wing go? If we were to show the "product with our face" on the edges of the wings, they would have hung EW containers, and on the missing pair of points a second pair of 73 missiles. On the stabilizer, you can see a darkening similar to the radome of an antenna, if this is true, then what system it is from, and the location of the antenna there, how successful is it in terms of shielding it by the aircraft body ...

    "The French Rafale fighter defeated the Russian Su-35 in a training air battle," reports the Polish portal Defense24, citing the Egyptian press.
    “The Egyptians conducted an exercise in which the French Rafale fighter collided with the Russian Su-35 fighter and won air battles with it,” the newspaper writes.
    It is noted that during the training battle, the Russian aircraft played the role of "aggressor", attacking the French. The victory of Rafale over the Su-35 was ensured by the Self-Protection Equipment to Counter Threats for Rafale Aircraft (SPECTRA) complex of electronic warfare (EW) of the first, which "jammed" the radar of the second. "The Russian plane could not control its weapons, and Rafale easily tracked the enemy with its radar and in the end" shot him down, "writes Defense24.

      But Egypt does not know about this, as does Russia, which sold the Su-35 to Egypt)))
      And so yes, news with reference to an unnamed Cairo source.)))
      You can't hide an awl in a sack - Israel would be the first to get nervous if the Su-35 was actually delivered.

    Gentlemen, understand a simple thing - the revolution has taken place. The era of manned military equipment is obviously coming to an end. Already, the pilot is becoming the weak link in a group battle; there is no point in interfering with the AI ​​on board - the pilot must be removed. Whatever one may say, 8-9G is the overload limit for the pilot. How will the "skill" save you from a 60G rocket or a laser? None. Yes, markets need to be saturated, to drive the client into a cycle of long-term operation, but not to get carried away by ourselves. Robots, swarms of drones, AI in every iron ... That's where you need to think. And they think. I'm sure.
