F-35 vulnerable to Russian radar

The foreign media reported that the American fighter-bomber of the fifth generation F-35, created by the program Joint Strike Fighter, has many possible flaws, the newspaper said "Sight".

F-35 vulnerable to Russian radar


In particular, the publication The Daily Beast notes that the fighter, which should be virtually invisible during flights, is powerless in front of the Russian and Chinese radar systems.

According to Bill Svitman, the author of the article, the F-35 is “not particularly good at jamming enemy radar,” which means that the US Department of Defense spent hundreds of billions of dollars on a fighter plane that needs the help of a special aircraft equipped with a radar silencer.

It is noted that the new fighter is invisible in the X-band and sector, which covers the radar system APG-81, but is vulnerable to radars operating in the VHF range.

It is worth noting that Lockheed Martin has developed three versions of the F-35 fighter: for the Navy, Marine Corps and the United States Air Force. An aircraft with a base cost of 75 million dollars should be put into service in the 2016 year.

Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin noted that the new F-35 is inferior to the fifth-generation fighter of the Russian-made PAK FA, reports Vzglyad.

          I watched the transmission-interview of the calculation commander who shot him down. It was not so simple there. They conducted it without any radar almost visually and talked on a landline phone. The fact is that he stupidly flew at the same time, along the same route. That was punished.

          To be more precise, the S-125 short-range air defense system. On it was installed (in the USSR - exactly, about Yugoslavia - I don't know, but I think there was also) the "Karat" optical guidance system, which proved to be effective during the Arab-Israeli conflict in 1973. It is quite difficult to suppress an optical system, and if you still use it competently and apply additional measures (for example, remote observation posts), then you can effectively use it today.

      As a result of the "failure", the Russian nuclear missile RS-24 YARS flew towards the USA

      On April 26.04.2014, 24, the next launch of the RS-XNUMX YARS intercontinental missile from the Kapustin Yar test site was carried out as part of the Strategic Missile Forces military exercises.

      The missile was supposed to cover the distance in 9 000 km in less than 2 hours. The missile did its job perfectly, but the missile’s flight course officially failed, the missile moved toward the continent of North America, the target is the United States.

      As stated at the Pentagon: Russia was trying to provoke the states into military action that would lead to irreparable.

      US air defense could not take the RS-24 on target even when the missile was less than 2000 km from the country. When the rocket approached a distance of about 500 km, it changed course and flew towards Argentina.

      The Russian Defense Ministry commented on this situation as "A slight misalignment of the missile's flight path, moreover, it was absolutely safe and did not contain an explosive base."

      The Pentagon called Russia's actions provocative and recalled that Russian missiles never gave such failures, not taking into account the Bulava missile, and that they do not believe in the accident of all this.

      Recall that this is not the first time that the United States is unable to ensure its security, in particular the recent case in the Black Sea, when the Russian Su-24 bomber with the support of the radio-electronic warfare system opposed the American missile destroyer Donald Cook.

      The Su-24 using the EW system created irresistible obstacles to the radars and the guidance system of the destroyer, after which for more than an hour it simulated a combat attack, approaching the destroyer at 100 meters.

      The world arms race will always remain with us, said Chuck Heigl, but today we see something else. The United States began to show its weakness and helplessness.

        You look at the map, this is possible only in one case - they launched through the Atlantic, which I strongly doubt.
        Yes and .. to change course - this means that we are already armed with warheads with awesome opportunities to change course !!! Which only dream of the masters of Tan.

        YesI will continue the good news:
        Russian submarines should receive coverage that significantly improves their disguise from enemy sonars. The information contained in open documents on the development of the Navy, confirmed in St. Petersburg Central Research Institute. Academician A.N. Krylova. It is here that research is being conducted on the hydroacoustics of submarines and the development of know-how that will make it possible to turn Russian submarines into invisibility.

        Active sensors and piezopolymer plates to neutralize sonar signals will be built into the new material. Keeping the noise indicators achieved in the fourth generation ships (Ash, Borey) will reduce the visibility of Russian submarines by three times. Today, the so-called passive anti-sonar cover of the hull is used to hide submarines from detection systems. This is a rubber based material. When using it, the boat remains unprotected from detection by sonars operating at frequencies below 1 kHz.

        According to the information given in the document of the military department, Russian boats are quite vulnerable to detection with the help of such locators. - Modern means of detecting the enemy "slipped" below 1 kHz. The detection range is growing, and problems arise, ”Izvestia was explained in the Central Research Institute named after Academician A.N. Krylova. The developed coating will not only absorb the radar signal (as current, passive materials do), but will neutralize the incoming radiation.

        An active coating containing electronics will determine the frequency at which the adversary’s radar operates and will launch its own signal of the same frequency, but in the opposite phase. “The incident signal is received and re-emitted in the reverse phase - the signals are compensated,” Izvestia’s interlocutor said. To do this, in the new coverage you need to place sensors and fiber optic routes of the system management servers, as well as active emitters. The material will be formed into piezo-composite plates, so it is impossible to use the rubber coating of the hulls of modern submarines, according to the documents of the military department. good

The author of the book, a young scientist Petr Ufimtsev, developed a theory by which you can create a unique shape of an airplane - a form that will make it invisible!

          I read that the Soviet development of stealth (one of the options - with a fuselage configuration) was slipped by our counter-responders. Only without the summary of our scientists - "PERSPECTIVE". So this freak iron F-117 appeared. Themselves began to introduce a special paintwork, which scatters radio emission from the radar in different directions.
          F-35. The error was original, in my opinion. It is impossible to create a universal aircraft that could solve tasks in full as a specialized one. He is with a vertical. take-off, and a bomber, and a fighter having a powerful avionics. And all this with one ... engine, and to be cheap in the limit of 50 mil. green. To the owners of the aircraft-building companies on the drum - give grandmas and terms of reference, and then what happens. So we got it. Low speed, no over-maneuverability (this means close combat, maneuver. Do not engage). All that remains is to shoot back as far as possible from the place of the target and ... tick. But here's how to drop bombs? This must be above the target and it is desirable that there are no enemy aircraft nearby. belay. And this is only against some banana countries. hi

      It is impossible to correct this in principle at the present stage. Any design can be represented as a sum of elementary elements. It is possible to ensure that the sizes of these elements are not multiple of 3 cm (the case with F-35), but that at the same time they would not be multiple to other wavelengths in the transparency windows of 6-7 cm and 10-12 cm, it is almost impossible to achieve.

            I can only guess, but there are stations even in the decimeter range. I think that at several frequencies at once, or two emitters. I'm not special. , so maybe I'm talking nonsense. We have an ancient P-12 at the test site. Mobile, TWO-COORDINATE radar station of meter wave range. So understand what it means and how this TWO-COORDINATE miracle works. But she worked and with her own work, even this "old woman" coped with a bang. Then the truth is, instead of it, a new P-18 was driven. This is the modernized P-12. But we were already leaving for demobilization. hi

And this is without jamming, and for meter waves it is easier than for centimeter waves.

        What is nonsense, comrade? Is F35 expensive junk? Amiable crawl on the grid carefully, read the materials on this subject. If you do not trust our materials, read the western ones. Although elementary logic ... F35 was conceived as a tactical aircraft using technologies that reduce visibility. The key word is tactical. A tactical aircraft cannot fight a pair of fighters designed to gain superiority in the air, losing the opportunity to conduct a maneuverable air battle. And if one on one American due to more advanced avionics surpasses drying, then a couple of our planes can do anything with it. In addition, the American, as it turned out, requires radar coverage and security, which makes the group of aircraft as a whole more visible and less flexible in combat use, because it is hard to expect flexibility from a group that includes too different sizes, speeds, EPR indicators, and therefore visibility planes.

          The Fe-35 is an awesome eroplane, since it was created on a completely new basis, it has versatility and versatility, incomparable lethal characteristics, the broadest range of everything, including weapons, and most importantly, invisibility, because not a single bastard has I saw how much "dough" was pioneered and how much more in the future.

        So they did not trust the F-35. There were some reasons for mistrust. And the Japanese also tried to get the F-22 instead of the F-35.

    If you believe open sources, then the T-50 is a kind of wunderwaffle, which has absorbed absolutely all the advanced technologies that our aviation industry can only provide. The plane turned out to be beautiful, and it is clear that the F-35 was not even near. But there is a nuance here. The T-50 has one drawback arising from its advantages - this is the price. The car will be very expensive, and therefore more a piece goods than consumer goods. The Americans are planning to build many hundreds of F-35s. Therefore, it would be more correct to compare it with our massive "workhorses" such as the Su-27 and MiG-29 of all possible modifications. And the T-50 still needs to be compared with the F-22.

            Do not be surprised! I can recount the advantages of the F-35.
            1) Extremely strong stealth, EPR no more than 0,01 m2. An important advantage in combat at long distances.
            2) Modern AN / APG-81 radar with active headlight. It is able to operate in very quiet modes, difficult to notice by enemy radars.
            3) An optical-location system of 6 infra-red sensors, two on each side of the aircraft. They detect the launch of a rocket from an enemy aircraft, at a distance of hundreds of km.
            4) 4 internal suspensions, accommodating 4 air-to-air missiles AIM-120 or AIM-9. It is planned to install the latest modifications of these missiles on the F-35: AIM-120D (C-8) with a range of up to 180 km and infrared AIM-9X missile with UHT (strong increase in maneuverability during attack).
            5) All-angle attack of targets in close combat. An enemy aircraft can be attacked even if it is outside the front hemisphere F-35.
            6) The possibility of supersonic flight for 250 km. This information is controversial and is the words of the developers in Lockheed Martin.

          Here I’m not even going to argue. I agree completely. But PAK FA, nevertheless, is worth the money, which can not be said about the Penguin.

    In July, the 2008 was a simulation of air combat with the participation of the Su-35 fighter against a mixed fleet of American fighters - F-22, F / A-18 Super Hornet and F-35, where the latter was “battered like a child”. The simulation was conducted at the Hikam base of the US Air Force in Hawaii, which was witnessed by at least four representatives of the Air Force and Australian military intelligence. The deputy of the Australian Parliament, Dennis Jensen, knowingly said that in the course of “highly secret modeling”, the F-35 was “mercilessly beaten by the Su-35 fighter”.

                in fact, all the technology according to Yak was "sold" for 500 thousand, its transfer lasted 1,5 g, and all the designers who did not leave for him later to work for Lockheed were killed, sometimes before that they killed their family members (in the sense they were allowed to bury them and then killed already himself). I think it is not necessary to point the finger at what "special service" in which case kills relatives.

                The F-35 is, in fact, the Yak, which was covered with anti-radar swamps, because of which it was "swollen", and the XV-5 fan (which was still breaking on it) was installed instead of the outboard PDs.
                then they threw out the F-35B rotator, the gas-jet control system in hover mode, and closed the nozzle - and so it turned out F-35A, then the F-35A strengthened the fuselage and adjusted the landing hook to it - so it turned out F-35C

                the cost of the F-35 1trl program, have already mastered at least 70 billion
                all R&D on it was essentially done in the USSR, "quilted jackets". for 500 thousand
                70 billion are received - 500 thousand = PROFIT 299,99% bully

                a year later, they gained access to all the development of the military-industrial complex, and went through all the military factories and design bureaus (absolutely all, including the S-300). after which there was an even greater series of strange deaths, and the aircraft engineers did not have any of the professional engineers, even the level of the head department.

                Another interesting fact is that, unlike Harrier, in a dogfight (23: 0 on the Falklands), the Penguin is almost worthless because he does not know how to do VIFFing qualitatively. laughing

      A little of the tactics of using fighter aircraft. The detection, recognition and tracking of air targets is carried out by radar posts (both ground and air). Radar stations usually operate in several ranges. Then the RL information is transmitted to PORI (the RL Information processing point), where duplication of marks from the same goals is removed and a reliable picture is obtained. Further, the radar detector falls on the guidance point, where the formation of fighter guidance commands on the target takes place. Approaching the target fighter performs in radio silence mode. Depending on the type of use of the weapon (for example, with IR or TV seeker), the radar may not turn on at all. Therefore, the protection of the F35 in the X range at this stage is up to one place. If the F35 opens the bomb bay, or turns on the radar from its protection, there is no trace left.

    how Americans babosy saw - Taburetkin seems and did not dream ...

    The B-2 super stealth bomber is the most expensive aircraft in the world (and probably the most expensive aircraft in the history of aviation). For 1998, the cost of one B-2, excluding R&D, amounted to 1,157 billion dollars. The cost of the entire B-2 program for the 1997 year was estimated at almost 45 billion; Thus, taking into account R&D, the cost of one car at that time reached 2,1 billion dollars.

    during the NATO military operation in Yugoslavia (1999), two B-2 aircraft were shot down: the first (88-0329, "Spirit of Missouri") was shot down on May 20 over the suburb of Belgrade by the S-300P air defense system, the second (88-0332, "Spirit of Washington" ) was hit on June 1 and fell in Croatia.

        regarding the bike with B-2

        On opinion of an argentinian journalist (I’m already lying around, but the funniest thing has not yet begun)Diego Zampini, during the NATO military operation in Yugoslavia (1999), two B-2 planes were shot down: the first (88-0329, “Missouri Spirit”) was shot down on May 20 over the Belgrade suburb of the S-300P air defense system, and the second (88-0332, “ The Spirit of Washington ”) was hit on June 1 and fell in Croatia [23].
        This report is being questioned by a number of experts. So, during the NATO operation, the Serbian side did not possess S-300 systems at all [25]. Photographs of Russian soldiers in Serbian uniform near the S-300 complex in 1998 were taken in the suburbs of Moscow and "accidentally" made public to misinform the enemy about the air defense systems of Yugoslavia [26].

        The American side did not recognize the loss of the above bombers. There is also evidence confirming that aircraft with the indicated side numbers continued to operate after 1999. In particular, the “Spirit of Missouri” was photographed during a coalition forces military operation in Iraq in 2003, and in 2004 for the first time a completely female crew flew there. The “Spirit of Washington” was photographed at the Whiteman airbase in 2008 and at several other airbases in 2006-2007.

    Surveillance radars operate in the meter and DM ranges, these are seen by all- and stealth and balloons, etc., sighting and airborne radars operate in the SM and millimeter ranges. It will be more difficult to see. The winner will be the one who has a more powerful transmitter and better receiver in the radar. On the ground - no problem, just add diesel fuel to the generators. On the plane - every kilogram counts, the hope is only for DLO aircraft and guidance points. And so I think - in the sky any piece of iron will shine, no matter how it is painted. Although I saw one plane called Berkut, it was coming to us accompanied by the SU-35, so Drying was visible both in the palm of your hand and on the SM and the meter range, and Berkut was not visible until the landing, although they knew exactly what they were with a difference in 10 km They only saw with their eyes when they passed overhead.

            When testing the A-50, it was necessary to remove re-emissions from the keel of the aircraft. To do this, on the very first prototype, the rotary junction was rotated 180 degrees and the antenna radiated exactly into the tail of the aircraft. Absorbing coatings glued any thickness and quality, but did not receive an effect of more than 10 dB. The test result was a recommendation to remove radiation in the rear hemisphere. A similar solution on E-3A. The absorbent coating gives an effect only at low energies - only at long range. Reducing the range reduces all the benefits of absorption to zero.

    Comparing the T-50 and F-35 is not entirely correct, since one is a heavy fighter (T-50) and the other is a light fighter (F-35), respectively, and different requirements. Then it is necessary to compare with the F-22, about which a lot has already been written here. And what about radar "stealth" - this is all "from the evil one" - these data are taken, as a rule, from advertising brochures, which casts doubt on their reliability. Moreover, the measures to reduce the radar signature of aircraft include not only passive ("stealth technologies"), but also active (including on-board REP) means. Moreover, the use of combat implies the joint use of active and passive means in a given situation, plus, the attraction of additional funds (for example, specialized electronic warfare aircraft). Therefore, it is simply ridiculous to assess the effectiveness of combat use on them, and even more so, to compare them with this or that model, for which there is also no reliable data.

      Barrel anti-aircraft artillery for aircraft with near and supersonic speeds is no longer relevant. Airborne fighter cannons still this way, especially in close combat, however here are possible options. The aircraft is not shot down by radar, by radar, or rather by electronic warfare systems, the guidance system on the radio channel is disabled, both the aircraft itself and the guidance channels from DLRO aircraft and from ground guidance posts. In the absence of visual contact with the target and reduced visibility in the IR range, this can create problems. In some cases, an aircraft may not use radio channels at all to aim at a target, but this is more true for tactical aircraft and attack aircraft. For high-altitude interceptors and fighters, yes, it can create problems. A possible solution is the preventive removal of aircraft with electronic warfare. They are easier to shoot down for various reasons. For example - they actively glow in a wide range of radio frequencies. For destruction, missiles with a combined guidance system are used. At the initial stage - through the radio channel, then, as a rule, along the thermal trail. DLRO aircraft, these are most often large machines and systems for reducing visibility in the IR range are not placed on them. IR traps can effectively resist combined guidance systems, as a rule, cannot.

The signal from the bottom and from the exhaust for the rocket were excellent. Shot down in pursuit. A rocket flies with a supersonic sound, and the plane is subsonic.

    At the start of the plane, the destroyer drowned. Now this.
    Now aircraft are built from non-conductive materials is not easy so, only this will significantly reduce the reflection of the radio signal.
    I'm interested on the basis of what she made such conclusions? Here is an incomplete list of why ESR depends.
    The ESR depends on the electrical properties of the material, its geometry, the direction from which it is irradiated, the change in position in space, and at the same time irradiation of many points of the object, there is a complex interaction of reflected signals, in which the signals are added and amplified in some directions, and in others - weaken each other. If the direction of irradiation of the object changes, then the relative position of the elementary reflectors also changes, the fields of which are summed up even with a slight change in direction with a large change in phase shifts. As a result, the EPR changes.
    With meter freestyle, everything is also not so good, low accuracy and high vulnerability to interference - there is nowhere to go from this.

    In the meter range, even aircraft made using stealth technology are really visible, because their sizes, whatever one may say, are commensurate with the long wavelength of the probe signal emitted by the radar of the meter band. And these are all the more visible and no matter what material they are made of. In addition, it is very difficult to interfere with such a radar, and moreover, more than one aircraft will not be able to do this, because A narrow beam can be created only with an antenna of very large sizes (about 30 meters), and the aircraft will not be able to carry such an antenna, and since the detection range of meter stations is about 500 kilometers, it is also impossible to put ground interference.

        Secondly: interference is needed to suppress not the reflected signal, but the probing one! those. crush the radar, make it blind, and maybe put it out of action! Have you ever heard of the means of electronic warfare?
        Thirdly: in the x-band, the goal to detect as a needle into the sky is practically not realistic if you do not know the direction that the 300-meter radar will indicate to the complexes, which covers a huge sector with a beam.

    “The F-35 is vulnerable to Russian radars” Of course it is. There was not, is not and cannot be an aircraft that would be absolutely invisible to modern detection means. Not in one, but in another range, not from one angle, but from another angle, any aircraft can be detected. And the F35 developers were not given the task of creating “invisibility”. The sad experience with the F117 of Yugoslavia showed the unreality of such a task. In the case of the F35, the task was mainly to reduce as much as possible the visibility of the aircraft in the radar and infrared wavelength ranges and thereby make it as difficult as possible for the enemy to detect, track and continuously track the F35 both by ground and airborne detection and guidance means, including homing heads for ground-to-air and air-to-air missiles. And without an effective solution to these problems, the possibility of intercepting the F35, if not reduced to zero, is then noticeably reduced. From my own experience, I know that it is almost impossible to ensure 100% efficiency in solving these problems even with “normal” aircraft and in an interference-free environment. To this we must add that the potential enemy assumes the massive use of all types and means of electronic warfare when organizing a raid by their “litaks” and it turns out that not everything is so smooth and simple with the “vulnerability” of the F35.
    By the way, this was clearly demonstrated during the recent flight over the SU24 of the “namenite” destroyer “Cook”, which came as an uninvited guest to the Black Sea, when a single and very “visible” aircraft managed to “embarrass the most I can’t” with its electronic warfare complex, which was quite robust (in theory) Aegis air defense system.
    I’m not sure, however, whether it was worth revealing the potential of the new electronic warfare system to a potential enemy because This enemy will not spare any money to find ways and means to neutralize this complex. I would prefer to experience such new products without unnecessary “noise and dust”. After all, it was possible to discourage the destroyer from such visits using other methods, saving this electronic warfare complex as a “pleasant surprise” for more serious games. In any case, a similar approach was used during the Soviet era, when they scared the enemy quite well, but they also tried not to advertise their secrets. .

      They are all vulnerable in different ways. This one is apparently unacceptably vulnerable.
      The use of F-22s involves their penetration deep into the territory of Russia (Siberia) and China through gaps in the border air defenses made by other types of aircraft.
