On the prospects of the fifth-generation multipurpose fighter PAK-FA T-50

47
The Russian fifth-generation multi-role fighter PAK-FA T-50 will be tested in real life at numerous combat training events in 2016, when it will be commissioned by the Aerospace Forces of the Russian Federation. This was announced on Friday by the commander of the Russian Aerospace Forces, Colonel General V. Bondarev.

The plane, or rather a promising front-line complex aviation, was developed to replace the Su-27 aircraft fleet.
Tests of this complex have been going on since the end of January 2010.

So that the reader does not accuse the authors of biased comments about the merits and demerits of the T-50, below is a comparative table with detailed characteristics of the main 5th generation aircraft from different countries.

On the prospects of the fifth-generation multipurpose fighter PAK-FA T-50


It will not be difficult for a literate person to figure out the pros and cons of a particular model.

Earlier, sources in the Russian Ministry of Defense and the Kommersant newspaper reported that according to the State Armament Program until 2020, 52 T-50 aircraft were to be received by the Russian Aerospace Forces (in 2016-2018 - 08 units each, in 2019-2020 - 14 units each). But due to the difficulties encountered in financing the project, the issue of supplying a batch of up to 12 units is still being considered.



Deputy Minister of Defense of Russia Yuriy Borisov also confirmed plans to reduce the number of purchased T-50 aircraft: “In the new economic conditions, the original plans for the purchase of T-50 may be adjusted. It is better for us to have the groundwork in the form of the PAK FA and then the opportunity to move forward, squeezing out all the capabilities of the 4+ generation fighters (and 4 ++ too - editor's note), ”he said.

Crises and the state of underfunding will sooner or later pass, so the troops will see this beautiful car, and in large numbers.
The evolution of the creation and development of jet fighters after 1945 of the last century is shown in the diagram below.

    A literate person will not be difficult to deal with the pros and cons of a particular model.
    I do not pretend to be very literate, and therefore, explain: in the table at F-22, AFAR is zero .. and this is how is your mother, sorry to understand? request what

      Here the author of the table was not mistaken - there is no L-band AFAR on the F-22. The PAK FY has two radars of this range in the wings (with an unclear purpose, though) but I am interested in another thing - who is this clever on the PAK FA "Irbis" piled up? N036 is never "Irbis", "Irbis" is N035.

        It seems to be on PAK FA N050, which uses part of the H035 technologies?
        "N050" is a Russian aviation small-sized radar station with an active phased antenna array, developed by NIIP for promising fifth-generation aircraft systems.

        The first full-size model of the new radar was first shown on the MAX-2007. The actual testing of the equipment began in 2008, when the first prototype was assembled. [1]

        Also in production were two more prototypes of the new radar, which in the 2010 year are planned to be installed on the flight models of the fifth generation fighter. At the 2009 International Aviation and Space Salon of the year, a prototype radar with AFAR was shown. In an interview with M.A. Poghosyan said that tests of the fifth generation fighter with a new radar should begin in the middle of the 2010 year.

        According to some reports, the H050 will consist of more than 1500 transmit-receive modules [2], a significant part of the technologies used on the H035 Irbis will be used in the H050 radar, the rest of the characteristics remain unknown "
        http://dic.academic.ru/dic.nsf/ruwiki/1390397

        "Two AFAR L-bands in the wing tips. For a long time, debate about the purpose of these antennas was raging. It was suggested that this is a long-wave" anti-stealth "detector (although calculations showed a short range of such a system) or antennas are used to synthesize the aperture. information that these stations are supposed to be used only as a system of state recognition of targets "

          No :)) The fact is that Irbis, whatever one may say, is a passive PAR, but on PAK FA it is an active PAR, and they differ greatly and fundamentally. I am ready to admit that some elements are similar, but in my opinion there are at least the principle of radar operation is different.

      AFAR with electronic scanning L-band.
      The range of "Irbis" is variable. Due to the frequency.
      Centimeter and even graph paper for missile defense and "standard" targets, especially for land and sea decimetric marks for inconspicuous targets.
      And the range of our missiles and American is exaggerated.
      For the AIM-120D, 170km is not even advertising, but mathematical.
      With the F-15 with its ceiling and speed, but oncoming courses under 0 degrees on the Tu-22M3 at 12 km at a speed of M2,3. And then, the AIM-120D will have to develop at a gentle dive speed slightly higher than M7 (2,5 Mach F-15, Amraam M4,5 + more than one dive). At this speed, the radar fairing will stupidly burn laughing Even for the aeroballistic X-15A (C), the radar fairing was tormented, and titanium and even tungsten were used in the design, although there is a maximum speed of M5 at 40 km, almost in space, and when reduced by AV in diving, not more than M4. Plus, the earth is still round, and at 170km amraam will go into dense layers much earlier and weld :-)
      The ceiling of the F-22 is lower + the "throw" effect of the aircraft speed is limited by M2, since the thief's hatches cannot be opened at a higher speed. So the real range of the AIM-120D is 120 km, with the F-22, probably, according to the ceiling and speed - less. Interestingly, the miriki honestly determined the previous AIM-120C mod at 105 km.
      Our missiles were also overestimated. For R-77MD - 300 km, for "medium" direct-flow R-77PD - 200, and R-77M1 with turbojet engine like Amraam - 120. For "Migovskaya" R-37, even less MD - 280, if not a tapsecret MF R-37 not done with a forward flow instead of a turbojet engine and a new radar.
      In general - in the article a jamb on a jamb. Even by "generations".

        We will wait for the tests, when the series goes to the troops, when we see what the T-50 is capable of, then there will be something to discuss and compare, but I think our designers and our pilots will never hit the face in the mud.

        this is definitely a very old article. Apparently from those when they just appeared in the public domain about PAK FA. Because afterburning (cruising) speed of 2100 is very unlikely.
        and 8 suspension points in a closed compartment - right? and 10 on the outside ... 18 suspension points ???? it’s only near range. In short, everything is debatable!

      and the release of the aircraft was cut, and the engines of the second stage will be by 20 g, although they used to say that they were ahead of the engine and the first engines 129 would be in 15-16, and in 20 they would say that they would be ready by the year 25, some kind of games were covered by an airplane. ..

      Neither one nor the other. What kind of nonsense is PAK? T-50 can be understood as a factory reduction in the refinement process. Are these the products of the Sukhoi design bureau famous all over the world? It’s the same as giving up your name and replacing it with a set of letters. "Signs and symbols rule the world, not words or the law." Confucius said these over 2000 years. The interception in control of consciousness begins with the interception of control of symbols. Here is the imposition of foreign names in our media on combat aircraft and missiles, PAK FAK, MAK DAK, SUPER SUPER JET, MS-21, SMS instead of the legendary Tupolev, Ilyushin, Yakovlev and Sukhoi. From the German Pak means "rabble, scum." The Germans laugh and rejoice gloatingly. With this name they do not go to the world market. During the Second World War in the regiment's combat magazines, the reduction of the PAK meant - Killed in an Air Accident. The expression "As you name the ship - so it will sail" always relevant. Such a name for the products of the legendary design bureau is an act of aggression against Russian identity. What you look at is what you turn into.

        PAK FA - Advanced Frontline Aviation Complex. T is the standard designation for pre-production Su aircraft. Will go into production - it will become the Su-50, or maybe a different number, but it is the "Su"

          T and C are more likely a designation not of "pre-production" aircraft, but a technological name (well, or in-house design), so the su-17 and su-27 were serially built, but the hard workers in Komsomolsk before perestroika knew that they were making the C-32 and T-10 ( chervontsy if according to the folk)

      All these imposed names: "Paky Faki, Super Duper Jets" - is the erasure of memory. There is already disrespect for their Russian long-term traditions, the work of designers, engineers, testers and craftsmen. This is a disrespect for the entire legendary Sukhoi design bureau. Interception in mind control begins with interception of control of symbols. What you call a ship - so it will float. "Super Duper Jet" doesn't want to actively fly since its first presentation.

    This is not production yet, it is still an airplane that has not passed acceptance.
    It will become a product when, after a set of tests, acceptance accepts a positive conclusion.
    Then he will receive the final name. Maybe they will leave the T-50, maybe another, for example, some SU-41.
    But at the moment it is not yet accepted aircraft and therefore goes everywhere under the abbreviation under which an order was made for development and under which this development was carried out. Namely, PAK FA, without reference to a specific air bureau.
