“Chopper” of communication channels: new EW aircraft

The other day, "Izvestia" opened the veil of secrecy over one of the new projects designed to update the Air Force. The publication became aware of the end of flight tests of the IL-22PP aircraft with a new electronic warfare system (EW) installed on it. By early May, the staff of the Flight Research Institute. M.M. Gromov did all the necessary work and handed over the plane with the EW system to state tests. Over the next few months, a new system for jamming will go on board.

A prototype of the jamming and airborne reconnaissance aircraft Il-22PP (OKP "Porubshchik") after re-equipment at OAO 20th aviation repair plant "in Pushkin. The aircraft has registration RA-75903 (serial number 0393610235, built as IL-22 in 1979). 03.04.2012/XNUMX/XNUMX (c) Vyacheslav Babaevsky / russianplanes.net

The new complex is called the “Feller” and has higher characteristics than previous similar systems. In addition, when creating this EW system, some technical solutions were applied that significantly increased its combat capabilities. The main feature of the "Beater" was the ability to influence only the signals of a certain frequency, without affecting others. Earlier, the EW systems of previous models, as Izvestia wrote, often suppressed not only the signals of enemy electronic systems, but also their own, which had corresponding tactical consequences. The new "Chopper", according to the source of the publication related to the tests, is able to work selectively.

So, before turning on the active jamming system, the complex scans all the available radio signals and finds the frequencies at which the enemy’s transmitters operate. At this time, the aircraft itself does not emit anything - the equipment operates exclusively in the reception mode. After finding the most important communication channel of the enemy or the signal of an enemy radar station, the equipment operators turn on the jammer and interfere with the desired frequency range. In addition, the new “Fischer” complex can radiate interference only in the right direction, which will be useful in certain circumstances.

IL-22М11 RA-75925 after upgrading to EMZ them. Myasishchev

The equipment of the “Cutter” complex is said to be able to effectively deal with all possible targets, such as airborne early warning and control aircraft, air defense systems, as well as manned and unmanned aircraft. In fact, several aircraft equipped with an electronic warfare complex will be able to disrupt or even paralyze the operation of the potential enemy in a given area.

During the tests, the IL-22 aircraft (air command center based on the IL-18) was used as a carrier of the electronic warfare complex. The car built in the late seventies, before installing special electronic equipment, was repaired, and some changes were made to its design. The work was carried out at the Experimental Machine-Building Plant. V.M. Myasishchev. The most notable difference in the IL-22PP aircraft from the base machine was a few large fairings on the sides, inside which the antennas are located. Interesting reasons why the "Fischer" was installed exactly on the plane, whose age is close to 35 years. According to Izvestia, the command of the Air Force wanted an EW complex based on more advanced technology, but none of the existing modern aircraft met the flight performance requirements, primarily the flight duration.

The use of an old aircraft had corresponding consequences. "Izvestia" cite the words of an unnamed representative of the Air Force, according to which, even after repair, the renewed IL-22P will be able to serve no more than ten years. Thus, over time, a new carrier will be needed for the “Feller” complex. Taking into account the reasons for which the Il-22 was chosen as the basis, it is possible to draw appropriate sad conclusions about the future selection of a new basic aircraft.

However, it is in its current form that the new aviation complex of electronic warfare Il-22PP has entered the state tests. Approximately by the end of the year, the jamming aircraft designer will complete all the necessary checks and will be put into service. According to Izvestia, it is planned to introduce five such machines into the air force, including a prototype.

News The completion of the main work on the new electronic warfare complex for the Air Force is undoubtedly pleasant and positive. Domestic Air Forces have not received new special aircraft with similar equipment for a long time, and therefore the IL-22PP complex with the “Chopper” system is of great importance for the renewal of military aviation. After the start of the service, new aircraft will close an important tactical niche, the priority of which has been constantly increasing in recent years.

The armed forces of leading foreign countries are constantly updating their control and communication systems, as well as launching new equipment for various purposes. For example, a modern war with the participation of NATO is unthinkable without the use of long-range radar detection aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles of various classes. Thus, IL-22PP aircraft with the “Chopper” can become one of the main means designed to impede the actions of the enemy, paralyzing its communication channels, detection systems, etc.

There are works on the modernization of the IL-22 in the IL-22PP version. A serial modernization of the first side is planned for the 2012-2013, the next two are being worked on - on the 2013-2014 (http://www.redstar.gr)

So, before turning on the active jamming system, the complex scans all available radio signals and finds frequencieson which the enemy’s transmitters work.

A dog is buried here. The problem is to find these frequencies when they jump across the entire spectrum hundreds of times per second in a pseudo-random sequence, which is practically impossible to decipher — there simply will not be enough time because the key is changed quite often.

[Forget]

Well, by how they jump, you can identify the desired signal and track it .. game theory allows you to do this

[Professor]

Quote: Forget

you can identify the desired signal and track it .. game theory allows you to do this

Theoretically possible, practically not. Not only is it unknown at what frequency the next signal will appear in the next mile second (that is, only UAVs and control stations or satellites are known), but these bastards, in addition to this useful signal, simultaneously transmit a duplicate signal and even several, as well as false signals . Here go, know what, where and when to jam.

Game theory has nothing to do with it.

[leon-iv]

Game theory has nothing to do with it.

Everything correctly rolls speed and processing power.

[elmir15]

Such aircraft with an electronic warfare complex are very necessary; by their usefulness they can probably be equated to long-range radar reconnaissance aircraft. We need not tens, but hundreds of EW aircraft

[old man54]

15 pieces would be done and it would be happiness! And you ... hundreds)

[elmir15]

why think small? under the USSR, orders were more ambitious, it was time to move to a large-scale level.

[old man54]

oh oh I have these dreams of the past USSR then! :))) That's when Russia will reach the economic indicators of the USSR at least the 90 of the year (its record is far from record), then I will seriously take such statements and posts! After all, I don’t mind that principle, but ... But it turns out like in life often, when someone receives an average of 20tr a month, but seriously looks at the new Mercier S class! :) you must first stretch the economy, thieves for hang the pillars, restore the military-industrial complex, and then already about the Napoleonic Wishlist to stutter.

[elmir15]

In the 90s, just a little money was allocated for the army, and now not little money. So there is funding, another thing is that they steal a lot and do not reach the addressee much. We have our own "Merces" in the army: Su, Migi aircraft, ISKANDER, S-300,400 complexes and a lot of excellent equipment and still find money for the purchase, so some factories are not keeping up with orders and are building new factories to increase output. So not everything is as bad as it seems)))

[old man54]

Well, God forbid that they allocate! Once again - I am not against it. :) But I am categorically against the idea that again the whole country would start "working" only for the defense industry, as it already was, even if they stop stealing at the top. Then the generals with big stars, stupefied by such an abundance of funds, will again literally scatter people's money (of the taxpayer) and constantly order new equipment and not at all protect and appreciate the one they already have! I am in favor of very expedient and prudent management of NH, as a whole, and not only in the field of defense! I think we will not remember the domestic history of the creation of ICBMs for nuclear submarines, when new nuclear-powered ships were designed and built for each new type of sea-based ICBM! But now, just again, such tendencies are clearly traced, both in the speeches of the military-industrial complex commanders, and in the actions of our wretched military leaders, which is already starting to irritate! The fact that now a lot of money is being spent on defense does not mean at all that there will be a lot of them tomorrow too !! The price of oil / gas will fall and that's it ... we've arrived! :)) What are we going to eat then? And we have the other, in the sense of industry, or anything else that is worthwhile! Forgive me, I'm talking about a strategic, state approach to the budget, and you tell me ... the type of thinking of the military in Soviet times! Here was an article about the fact that recently the Su-24 was equipped with the Hephaestus sighting system, find it, read it carefully, you will understand what I am talking about!

[elmir15]

Of course, economics is the foundation of everything. Without a good economy, no army can last long. At one time, playing games - strategies before trying to conquer to develop the economy, the welfare of the country, he tried to maintain a well-equipped army, on the contrary it did not work. The country is not able to drag a huge army on its shoulders, especially in wars. It sounds funny but the strategy games well develop strategic, tactical thinking, a kind of chess, therefore it is useful for the younger generation to play at least a little bit of them. I see your thought - a lot of money is allocated to the army, a lot does not reach the addressee because a lot is stolen, and oil and gas prices will not be forever high. Salaries to the military that raised well, but I think that a little overdone since now the difference in salaries between the military and civilians has greatly increased. If you increase then the other too. In general, I think that only a person like Lukashenko can restore order in the country, he reminds me of Stalin. I would like our country to unite with Belarus and Lukashenko to be president, otherwise Lukashenko would refuse to unite without a presidency. Well, he quickly put things in order everywhere.

[old man54]

No, perhaps the fact that the salary was raised by the military is not bad, now for this salary it is necessary to ask them accordingly and strictly, and the preparation of drugs and their personal level. Whatever it was, just like on the stove, they sat happily and scratched their belly. :) And this happened before, and now even more so ...
the economy and power of the state is certainly yes, I agree with you completely. But it’s very annoying that the generals don’t cherish what they have, not even the old one, although our country's economy is frivolous today, it seems everyone understands this, but ... This applies to the Navy and the Navy and to the NE. Instead of re-equipping, upgrading existing and not bad equipment, especially the carriers of arms, they write off, ruin, and under the sauce that money is allocated today, they shout that it’s better to build a new one!: ((Is this for someone better? For the military-industrial complex? For officials and generals, do they have excessive kickbacks for this? Is it better for our common economy? And they write wild nonsense on the topic that it’s more efficient to build a new one than to change the stuffing, as a rule electronics, in existing ships, planes , tanks, SAM, etc. But under this under we don’t have enough money to bring the army into a more or less adequate form, corresponding to the external threats of the country !!! And it’s directly readable and it’s sad that you won’t be able to transfer it !! There’s something like that in 35 / 39 of the last century during the time of the temporary detention facility was put up against the wall, or sawed wood for years, so they sent it to 15!

[Aeneas]

the interference is broadband, and the range is known. If this is an aircraft, it means that the jammer is strategic and it will be at the level of the army corps or AUG. The radio communication ranges of these connections are known, it is even possible to determine the shape of the antenna. Of course the adversary will not sit with folded hands and will oppose. The aircraft is slow-moving and must be protected from missiles and aircraft. There is also a tactical director. This is the Helicopter Mandate complex.

[Professor]

Quote: Aeneas

The article refers specifically to narrowband interference.

Quote: Aeneas

The ranges of the radio communications of these compounds are known, you can even determine by the shape of the antenna

Determine by the shape of the antenna in my car at what frequency I am now listening to the radio, 88.8, 107, etc.?

There is still such a chip:
The problems with noise immunity and “repeated image” turned out to be the most difficult to solve. They led to the introduction of the technology of so-called “smart” antennas, usually based on “digital beam forming” in software. The idea behind this technology is simple, but as usual difficult in detail. A conventional GPS antenna receives signals from the entire upper hemisphere above the rocket, thus including GPS satellites, as well as enemy interference. A so-called controlled-pattern antenna (Controlled Reception Pattern Antenna, CRPA) using software synthesizes narrow beams aimed at the intended location of GPS satellites, resulting in an antenna that is blind in all other directions. The most advanced designs of antennas of this type produce so-called "zeros" in the antenna pattern aimed at sources of interference to further suppress their influence.

[Aeneas]

The frequency bands of the VHF range, on which the radio communication facilities operate, "press down", initially revealing the enemy's location and its frequencies by means of RTR. To "suppress" the entire VHF range in all directions, very powerful transmitters are needed, but the good thing about VHF is that the interference can be narrowly directed. Well, about setting up GPS jamming on cruise missiles. So yes, ideally, you need to put interference "from above", almost from space, within the visibility of the radio horizon (the microwave signal has no envelope properties). These stories about Serbs who turned on microwave ovens and pointed them in the direction of missiles and planes, were amused already in the 90s ... It's not easy to identify your receiver by car, but the transmitters of radio stations, and even more so, transceivers are very easy to identify by the appearance of the antenna (DV, SV, HF, VHF) the range, which means their purpose: short-wave stations, radio relay, tropospheric or satellite. This means that the communication center of which level of the unit-compound is the headquarters they serve, which means that the headquarters itself is somewhere nearby, etc.

[Professor]

Quote: Aeneas

The frequency bands of the VHF range are "pressed" on which the means of radio communication operate, initially by means of RTR the enemy's location and his frequencies are revealed.

I agree with you, however, the article talks about specific frequencies that press, and they can only be determined if the enemy uses only this frequency. In practice, these frequencies jump across the entire spectrum and it is possible to drown them out only with white noise (unless of course there is enough power ) leaving their troops unconnected.

The so-called antenna with a controlled beam pattern (Controlled Reception Pattern Antenna, CRPA) is not only on the RC, but also on the UAVs with a link to the communication satellite.

In short, the "Chopper" is powerless against advanced UAVs.

[Aeneas]

a controlled radiation pattern does not change the frequency in some quasi-continuous mode or algorithm. The antenna simply focuses on a certain angle in azimuth and elevation angle mechanically or electronically according to the flashed software algorithm ... It seems to me :-)

[Professor]

Quote: Aeneas

A directive radiation pattern does not change the frequency in some quasi-continuous mode or algorithm. The antenna simply focuses on a certain angle in azimuth and elevation angle mechanically or electronically according to the flashed software algorithm ... It seems to me :-)

It is also capable of changing the operating frequency according to the algorithm I described earlier.

[Mikhail3]

The article primarily says that you can determine the approximate position of the transmitter and crush it. Jumping over a range? Let them ride. Read carefully - you can crush the entire range EXCEPT those frequencies at which our equipment operates. And there will be few of them. How much data from the package will survive? Are they enough to control the same UAV? In addition, if there is an approximate direction, nothing prevents you from checking if our equipment is there, and if not, you can click with white noise. If a newfangled antenna cuts its diagram using software, I wouldn’t be so sure that the interference would be ineffective, since the use of mechanical devices for rotating the antenna will significantly reduce the life. Most likely the antenna is omnidirectional, or it is a package of antennas. And the software chooses those that work in the right direction ...

[Professor]

To crush the entire range, it is necessary to fly with a nuclear reactor, otherwise there will not be enough power. White noise is very gluttonous.

CRPA is a serious thing and no one has yet drowned it.

[JonnyT]

And how then is the synchronization between the receiver and the transmitter?

[Professor]

And how then is the synchronization between the receiver and the transmitter?

And there are atomic clocks, small and expensive. There is an option with a request at a certain frequency after receiving which there is synchronization. That is, after establishing a connection, you can start drinking beer.

[Aeneas]

But what about electro-magnetic compatibility with other means of communication, data transfer, navigation, operating in the same range?

[mogus]

The main feature of "Chopper" was the ability to act only on signals with a certain frequency, without affecting others. Earlier, electronic warfare systems of previous models, as Izvestia writes, during operation often suppressed signals not only of enemy radio-electronic systems, but also of their

We conclude: before that they jammed everyone, including our own. Now we have added the ability to "turn off" the desired frequencies (on which their own). The rest of the transceivers can be permanently jammed at certain frequencies of the enemy.

[Aeneas]

in order not to jam your own ones, the antenna must be oriented towards the enemy (if VHF), but if the HF (the antenna is visible from the tail to the cockpit in the picture) then yes, some sort of selection is necessary.

Professor! You need to carefully read the text. It says there will be 5 aircraft. Everyone will jam their narrow range. They are configured during the manufacturing process of the system and have versions from .01 to .05.
And at the reception they listen only in order to make sure that there is no Russian mat, and not to drown their own.
The above is a joke.


Like an adult, but believe in fairy tales. So they wrote to you about the width of the range, and other technical characteristics.

And the pilots are extremely drunk fly, according to sinusoidal technology.


Sincerely.

her professional writes about something else. Everyone thinks that the wunderwaffle will fly in and drown out the control channels from the satellites. He also describes the complexity thereof using the example of a quick change of frequencies and a narrowly targeted antenna. That's all. ALL question AS is muffled. And the IL-22PP is a very suitable and necessary device and the IL-18 platform is almost eternal.

If they will jam a narrow range without knowing what frequencies are broadcast, then why do we need such a plane? He will cope with his task, he will not break communication with the UAV.

[AlexAl]

I wrote - they listen to the Russian mat on the air, if there is no deafening mat. If 5 planes is not enough - we will make another 100 and drown out a lot of narrow-band signals. And there’s nowhere for enemy’s planes to fly, since there are 105 planes in the sky simultaneously, flying in a sinusoid or cosine wave (it depends on which foot got up on the rise before departure) - this is such traffic that the pilots will get confused and run away!


Professor! What do you think is the principle of electronic warfare? Before the appearance of the aircraft described in the article and after its appearance. And where does the attempt to decrypt the signal (sending) the enemy and the dynamic restructuring of the channels to bypass electronic warfare.

Professor! You made the wrong conclusion about me. I understand what you are writing about, but this is a little off topic, as I think. The task is not to intercept the signal, but to analyze the spectrum of the signals in a wide range, and then jam the bands that we consider necessary and which we consider, depend on many that are not known to us. So, the radiation power can be changed depending on the spectrum through the channels and only in a certain range, and on the others - a different power. Then the reactor can not be carried. And in this airplane, a jump in frequencies will probably be faster than you voiced in the first post. And it jumps in frequency not to intercept enemy messages, but to induce interference in the ranges of the enemy transmitters, taking into account their jumps through the channels for channel encryption.

And that's what I mean. To jam "those bands" they need to be found, and the frequency hopping, as you know, does not necessarily use the "bands", but the entire spectrum. Accordingly, it can only be muffled with white noise. Here is an example of a "domestic" PPRCH and not the most advanced one. Try to explain how the bourgeoisie can drown it out. You can remember both the probability and the expectation, according to statistics I had a solid "five".

Once again: no one knows where to jump and what to jam.
The frequency hopping pseudo-random sequence algorithm provides 7.2x1016 different frequency hopping codes. It means that code repeat period is 457 million years, thereby providing the highest level of communication security.

[AlexAl]

Professor!
Well, how do you explain. Channel hopping has strictly defined steps (discreteness), due to the laws of physics, which you will not argue in any way at all, the channel bandwidth directly depends on the data transfer rate both during FM modulation and QPSK-x. So, even if you are shifted by an arbitrary bias step, the channel bandwidth will be the same, using a spectrum analyzer with a small frequency tuning step, and even simultaneous analysis over the entire band, and knowing the principle and width of your transmission systems, choose at which frequencies to jam I think there are no problems. And the receivers also have the selectivity parameter for the adjacent channel, and it is exclusively a finite value, so about 100-140 dB for very cool stations.

Considering that two-way communication is usually not used - for obvious reasons (source limitation, slow communication and other restrictions), then damage, for example, from 100 packets of 50 will lead to a violation of intelligibility or not passing the command, well, something like that. And as you know, the "progressive" world is constantly using thick channels (so that naked girls on the beach can be considered :)) and then we expect from you an answer to the previously asked question, after which the man went for popcorn.

We started for health, finished for peace. Now I will try to explain to you. The data transfer rate and channel width are inversely proportional, they have nothing to do with hopping from frequency to frequency, and even more so with the detection of broadcast frequencies. For example, you are broadcasting a compressed video signal at frequency "X" with a channel width plus / minus "x" (catch Europa Plus). A minute later, jump to the "U" frequency with the same channel width (listen to Russian Radio). Let's say I have the ability to jam where I want (to eavesdrop on which radio station you are currently listening to). So, I have no way of predicting at what frequency (wavelength) you will broadcast the next minute (which radio station out of 1000 you will listen to in the next minute). It is simply not realistic to decipher this sequence. Now you start jumping from one wave to another with a sequence known only to you a hundred times per second, and using the entire possible spectrum (radio stations from 88FM to 108 FM ) What wave do I jam? All? Then I will not hear any radio ...

In general, stop repeating this heresy. All this frequency change is intended primarily to complicate access to "useful" information.

I think in vain. You will not learn anything new and interesting from the professor. The same mantra will be repeated - “hundreds of jumps per second across the entire spectrum”. And that’s all. He repeated this here more than once, and to add to this, he has nothing, because in the subject under discussion, the professor swims openly. According to an Israeli legend, frequency hopping is a kind of super technology that makes it impossible to suppress a radio-emitting object, in principle. The fact that this technology has existed for more than 70 years (patented in 1941), neither the professor nor his countrymen, apparently even guess. As well as the fact that during this time, frequency hopping did not become an absolute technology that could reliably protect radio-emitting means from suppression. Although, the fact that this is quite feasible has been written more than once in popular science literature (for example: http://www.sozvezdie.su/science/izdaniya/pomehozashishennost_sistem_radiosvyazi_
4/ ). The funny thing is, if you ask the Israelis whether it is possible to suppress them with electronic warfare, for example, Russian S-300 / S-400 type air defense systems, they will certainly answer you - you can! The fact that the radars of these systems (the same 91N6 detection radar) operate in the frequency hopping mode does not bother them at all. But Russian electronic warfare systems, Israeli (and generally Western) radio-emitting objects, with the frequency hopping mode, cannot suppress. Here is such a “logic." In general, kindergarten ...
The professor refuses to communicate with me (he is blacklisted). Perhaps you can dispel his dense fallacies.

As our teacher of electronic warfare used to say - "To prevent the adversary from hammering your radio traffic in the air, chat on his frequency. It will be more fun."

[omsbon]

I liked the name - BURNER!

Quote: professor

at what frequency the next signal appears in the next mile second is unknown

But this is the theory of games, cat and mouse

[Owl]

Now it is necessary, during the operation of this instance, during classes and participation in exercises to identify deficiencies, eliminate the identified ones, work through and start a program to improve the complex. so that on a new board (IL-18 launched too long ago) to establish a reliable workable complex, which will be on a par with the world's best electronic warfare systems.

[Svarog]

A wide range for a serious opponent, narrow for the Papuans, so as not to disturb others - tolerance is now everywhere :). For the war of 2008, I think such a system would be useful.

And there are atomic clocks, small and expensive.

Is that something, professor?
A signalmen in lead underpants walk.

[Professor]

Researchers in the US have developed the world's first commercial portable atomic clock, which could be yours for just $ 1500. The SA.45s Chip Size Atomic Clock (CSAC) has been jointly developed by US firm Symmetricom, the Draper Laboratory in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and Sandia National Laboratories. About the size of a matchbox, the clock weighs 35 g, has a power requirement of only 115 mW and could be used for everything from disabling bombs to searching for oil.

But this is not necessary. GPS satellites transmit accurate time signals using even non-atomic clocks ...

[leon-iv]

GPS satellites transmit accurate time signals using even non-atomic clocks ...

Naturally, it’s not for nothing that centers around the world that Glonass and GPS are stumbled. Yes, and in any large organization there is a time server.

[screw cutter]

And what GPS frequencies do they work at? And change the frequency several times per second, and if at that moment several packets drop out, then what? And you can also record and broadcast packets, but at different frequencies.

[Professor]

GPS operate at the primary and backup frequencies without jumping across the entire spectrum.

[Dangerous]

It was better for them to choose the Pe-8 of the Second World War as a carrier of equipment. And that, this plane proved itself very well in its time. As it is fashionable to say now, they would "modernize" it and put it into service. And a big plus - you can launch from unpaved airfields, beauty! Well, what if they cannot master the production of new Tu-95 aircraft, or at least on the basis of the current civilian ones, then this one, I think, is still able to produce

[Forget]

yes .. and maybe Ilya Muromets (Sikorsky) can be revived

[Behind]

But this is not necessary. GPS satellites transmit accurate time signals using even non-atomic clocks ...

But just for GPS they are used. By the way, as for GLONASS. Otherwise, professor, how do we calculate the exact location of the navigation satellites?

[Professor]

GPS signals are used not only to calculate the location of an object, but also to determine the exact time. The size of the atomic watch removed the questions?

[Enot-poloskun]

The news is definitely good!

We must send to Syria for testing!

But Israel is small, maybe it will cover it all with hindrances.

[lazy]

the worst thing is that the filling is new and the glider is old, there is no adequate replacement for the IL, and how much does it fly after modernization?

Strange, it seems that not so long ago the Tu-95 MS was released, which means the slipways should still be alive and the technologists couldn’t get anywhere. He, Tu-95 (Tu-114), for LTH for these purposes will be better. This decision of the Moscow Region is not entirely clear, and the explanation for this in the article is indistinct. And the fact that the plane is old ... I do not think that we need to develop a special plane for it. The guys under the flag from the prison robe are still using the Boeing-707 for these needs, and nothing, he is a little IL-18 younger. :)

[Brummbar]

Professor, why do you not like Russian so much?

Young man, we did not switch to "you".

I have nothing against the Russians and you will not find a single disrespectful statement against the Russian people. Here we discuss a very specific materiel and the principle of its operation. No more and no less.

[AlexAl]

Sorry Professor, but it didn’t smell like a materiel - so some thoughts about anything that are in no way related to this topic. My purely personal opinion.

It’s just that your urge towards the plane and narrowband suppression of the frequency band by it causes a response in people who think a little with their heads and do not selectively cling to journalistic terms, and belittle the advantages of the developed technology, a priori that it was developed in Russia, especially not having complete data on its performance characteristics.

Yours!

I do not apologize and send you to study the materiel, namely the principle of operation of the antenna with a controlled radiation pattern and frequency hopping radio frequency communications. Good luck.

[AlexAl]

Professor, be careful, otherwise I will send you too for the materiel. Your prprch has been known for many years and there are a lot of works on them, and as there were no absolutely reliable communication channels, there are none and are unlikely to be. Our overseas friends have everything in absolute terms, tanks, f16, and other non-vulnerable elements of weapons, and we have the probabilities and expectations.

IL-18 on the basis of which this complex was developed, for the entire half-century history of service as a passenger and special aircraft, crashed only once with the death of the crew. According to the feedback of flight technical personnel, the machine is very reliable and easy to pilot and operate.
I think years 20 still serve. Why not ? All the same, there are modern materials that reduce its radar visibility, despite its rather impressive dimensions. And how softly its engines work. Fairy tale.

[Pimply]

In principle, everything is possible. B-52s are still serving. Question in the stuffing

[Zubr]

The trouble with these directors is how to turn on your barrel organ, you can’t close the car from the remote control from a long distance and the mobile Internet will go out ..

A comment slipped on the AS: was it really so small. Time left before the war?

[ICT]

an ordinary airplane producing jammers (I think there’s nothing radically new in the filling),
and this conclusion but not one of the available modern aircraft met the requirements for flight performance, especially in terms of flight duration. was made even after the first Chechen one, though with respect to the VzKP

[old man54]

The news is very good, positive! I am glad that the Defense Ministry and the government finally took up their heads a little, and not only took care of their personal accounts on caimans!

[phantom359]

And they could not find another platform, except for the ancient Il18? I watched this miracle at 88m and even then they were going to clean it, and throw all the new equipment onto the Tu204. Candy will not come out of feces. Il a good plane, but he ran back. like Lockheed Electra.

[aviamed90]

What does the old man IL-18 (22) not suit you?

As the saying goes - "Small bug but stinking!" (no offense to the designer)

It is economical, a decent time is kept in the air, 4 engines, the speed is small (and large and not required), the payload is also nothing .. What else?

Typical EW aircraft! You can’t imagine any better! Or are there options?

[aviamed90]

Amerikosov B-52 has been in service since 1955. And it is not an electronic warfare plane that flies, but a "strategist". They only change the filling and engines.

It is better that it passes the regulation as it should and is constantly being modernized and not used for commercial purposes. And how many IL18 remained in service? It has not been released for a long time, and even equipment in factories, probably. replaced.

Of course. Tu204,214, An148, 158.

What are they produced in the series?
Yes, the IL-18 is also not produced, but it is ALREADY manufactured.

There will be decent aircraft in sufficient quantities modify the EW aircraft! Who is bothering?

We proceed from what is available.

Yes, it’s not a matter of principle the plane is really worthy, if only it were included in the series and did not stop on a single copy, like the Tu-204

They would be brand new at least a couple of dozen ...
The plane turned out successful, early they were removed from production.

[phantom359]

Let's restore both Tu16 and Il2 in production. They were also successful cars. And the T34 will begin to produce. New cars are needed, not junk to upgrade.
