Foreign press: PAK FA is not the fifth generation fighter

The development of new weapons and military equipment has always attracted the attention of specialists, the general public and the press. Such attention is manifested in the form of a mass of publications, disputes, etc. Quite often debaters and analysts come to very interesting conclusions. From time to time, relying on some arguments, the authors of such materials are trying to debunk certain "myths" that allegedly occur in some projects. A few days ago there appeared another article of this kind.

The 18 February edition of IHS Jane's Defense Weekly published Royben F. Johnson’s article “Singapore Airshow 2016: Analysis — PAK-FA’s Asian Export Hopes Style” (“Singapore Airshow 2016: Analysis — Asian Export Hopes of the PAC Project FAs are faced with a lack of fifth-generation qualities. ”) The title clearly shows that the author of the article and his sources doubt the prospects of the Russian project PAK FA / T-50 and believe that it does not fully meet the requirements for the fifth generation of fighters.

IHS Jane's author recalls that at the recent air show in Singapore, the United States introduced its fifth-generation fighter Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor. In addition, there were statements about plans to sell a significant number of the latest F-35 Lightning II fighter jets to countries in the Asian region. Currently, a number of Asian countries are particularly interested in fifth-generation fighter aircraft, which can be satisfied with the help of supplies of American-made equipment.

Representative of american aviation industry told IHS Jane's that several countries are currently developing their own fifth-generation fighter projects. Nevertheless, according to him, not all such developments can be attributed to a new generation of aircraft.

Thus, a representative of the company Lockheed Martin recalled the Russian project of the aircraft PAK FA, which is positioned by the developer as a fifth-generation fighter. However, in the opinion of the American specialist, the PAK FA belongs to the fifth generation only in words. He believes that the fifth generation is not only a specific form that provides stealth.

According to the plans of the Russian industry, the new aircraft PAK FA / T-50 in the future will be delivered to Asian countries that already have experience in operating Su-based technology. Indonesia, Malaysia and Vietnam are considered potential buyers of such fighters. China, in turn, falls out of this list, as it develops its own projects of similar equipment.

The unnamed Russian specialists referred to by RF F. Johnson believes that exporting T-50 aircraft may face some problems. The main reason for this is the onboard equipment and aircraft components. Despite a significant increase in cost, they lack the technologies of the fifth generation. In the context of such problems, the new PAK FA aircraft can be compared to the existing Su-35 fighter, which has already become the subject of export contracts.

The main onboard systems of the fighter T-50 RF Johnson calls the radar "Irbis" and the engine type "117С." Both of these products are offered for installation on the PAK FA, and are also used on the Su-35 aircraft. In addition, according to IHS Jane's, some other units of the two fighters are also unified. Referring again to unnamed specialists, the author assumes that the new equipment, which will be installed only on T-50, will only be a further development of the existing Su-35 systems.

As you can see, unnamed experts and the author of the publication IHS Jane's Defense Weekly doubt the prospects of the newest Russian fighter, referring to the features of its on-board equipment. It is noteworthy that similar publications in recent days have appeared not only in “Jaynes”. Consider another similar article from another publication.

February 24, the American edition of Business Insider, published an article by Jeremy Bender entitled “Russia's new fighter jet is the 5th-generation 'in name only'” (“The newest Russian fighter belongs to the fifth generation only in words”). As can be seen from the title, the author of this material also tried to study the Russian project PAK FA / T-50, and the results of this study were not entirely pleasant conclusions for the Russian industry. J. Bender believes that the newest Russian aircraft does not meet the requirements of the fifth generation fighter.

His article, the author of Business Insider begins with a reminder of current projects. Currently, the United States continues to develop its second fighter of the fifth generation Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II. At the same time, the Russian industry is engaged in its own project of similar technology. Bender argues that the Russian project PAK FA ("Advanced Aviation Complex of Frontal Aviation"), also known as T-50, has some features that do not allow it to be rightfully attributed to the fifth generation of fighters.

Further J. Bender refers to IHS Jane's article and cites the main facts from this material. Thus, it is argued that the Russian industry unreasonably classifies the PAK FA project to fifth-generation fighter aircraft, which is due to the lack of appropriate technologies and components. In particular, the author of Business Insider mentions the argument regarding the engines: the T-50 has the same powerplant as the Su-35 generation "4 ++". Also mentioned is the unification of some other systems.

According to the author of Business Insider, even the differences in the onboard equipment of the new aircraft do not allow it to be rightfully attributed to the fifth generation of fighters. At this time, J. Bender builds his judgments on the basis of last year's publications of analysts of the portal RealClearDefense, who at one time got access to some documents of the Ministry of Defense of India. This country is showing interest in the Russian project and is considering the possibility of jointly developing a fighter based on it.

According to RealClearDefense, the PAK-FA / T-50 project has several technical and technological problems associated with certain elements and components. Among other things, problems include insufficient engine performance, low reliability of the existing radar station, as well as insufficiently low stealth indicators.

The question of stealth characteristics, according to Bender, is worthy of a separate consideration. Previously, analysts from RealClearDefense wrote that in 2010-11, estimates of such indicators of the latest Russian aircraft were carried out. Then the calculations showed that the effective dispersion area (EPR) of the T-50 aircraft is at the level of 0,3-0,5 sq. M.

At the same time, representatives of the US Air Force hinted that the EPR of the F-22 fighter is approximately equal to 0,0001 sq.m. The newer F-35 Lightning II fighter differs from the F-22 in lower stealth, since its ESR is at 0,001 m. In both cases, the effective area of ​​dispersion of American fifth-generation fighter jets is much smaller than that of the newest Russian aircraft.

J. Bender ends his article with a reminder of the current plans of the Russian Air Force. At the moment, it is planned to order 12 T-50 aircraft. It is mentioned that previously it was planned to buy about 52 aircraft, however, due to technical and economic problems, it was decided to reduce plans.

***

It should be noted that IHS Jane's Defense Weekly and Business Insider were not the only publications that published "sensational" news about the inconsistency of the T-50 aircraft to the requirements of the fifth generation of fighters. Such messages soon spread across other foreign media, and also got into the domestic press.

The latest foreign publications contain quite serious “accusations” that are hardly worth ignoring. Published information and assumptions require further consideration and analysis. In this case, as often happens, with a more detailed examination, the sensation turns into something strange and, at least, ambiguous.

First of all, it is necessary to pay attention to the attempts of the foreign press to study the characteristics of promising technology. So, comparing the EPR of the F-22, F-35 and T-50 fighters looks extremely strange and can hardly claim to be a serious research. The exact values ​​of these characteristics have not yet been announced and are unlikely to become public in the foreseeable future. The lack of accurate data on this score forces professionals and technology lovers to resort to various assessments, which, for obvious reasons, may not be true.

This is not the case with stealth indicators, but also with other characteristics. If part of the main indicators of foreign technology has already been published, the exact characteristics of the Russian PAK FA still remain a secret. Thus, comparing domestic and foreign equipment, it is necessary to rely on unofficial estimates, assumptions, etc. false information. It is hardly worth waiting for such comparisons to be true and prove to be objective.

Interesting statements RF Johnson and J. Bender regarding the onboard equipment of the T-50 and Su-35 aircraft. On these two aircraft, some unified units and units are used, which, according to foreign authors, adversely affects the characteristics of the newer PAK FA, and also does not allow it to be considered a fifth-generation fighter. In this case, foreign experts and journalists noted one of the features of the new projects, but at the same time they ignored the concepts of the 5 and 4 ++ generations.

Thus, a characteristic feature of the Su-35 fighter, attributed to the 4 ++ generation, is the use of the most modern onboard equipment, engines and other systems that meet the requirements of the fifth generation. At the same time, however, due to the use of other components, first of all the “old” glider, the Su-35 cannot be fully the fifth generation fighter. It was decided to single out a similar technique with characteristics higher than the fourth generation and part of the equipment of the fifth generation into the conditional generation “4 ++”.

Thus, the unification of components and assemblies, primarily engines and radar, is not a minus for the T-50, but a plus for the Su-35. Thanks to this approach, a plane with an “old” glider can compete with a completely new model in terms of a number of characteristics, and the use of used components and components reduces the cost of equipment. The interpretation proposed by the foreign press of such an approach to the creation of aviation technology looks doubtful.

Yet the most interesting feature of the current situation is revealed at the beginning of the article from IHS Jane's Defense Weekly. Roiben F. Johnson writes that the American aviation industry is currently making plans to sell F-35 aircraft to Asian countries. At the same time, Asian countries are considered as buyers by Russian enterprises. Thus, Asia has already become a “battlefield” between manufacturers of weapons and equipment, and in the foreseeable future there will have to be a new “battle” for contracts for the supply of fifth-generation fighters.

If this is taken into account, it ceases to amaze the fact that the shortcomings of the project PAK FA / T-50 RF. Johnson was told by a representative of the American company Lockheed Martin, which developed both modern projects of fifth-generation US fighters. Thus, the statements of this representative are very similar to a not too successful attempt in advance, even before the start of competition, to spoil the image of a potential opponent. The press, in turn, gladly picked up the statements and made a “sensation” of them.

The result is that the shaft of publications about the incompliance of the T-50 aircraft with the requirements for the fifth generation of fighter aircraft goes back to the desire of one of the foreign companies to prepare in advance for the competition and change the opinion of the responsible persons in their favor, even using dubious methods. As they say, nothing personal - only business.

It is noteworthy that the PAK FA / T-50 project is still at the stage of preparing aircraft for deliveries to the Russian armed forces, and the development of an export modification, apparently, has not even begun yet. However, potential competitors did not wait and began to attempt to fight with an opponent in advance. One can imagine what the representatives of the foreign industry will say when the start of full-fledged work on the export modification of the T-50 or the negotiations on the supply of such equipment to foreign countries will be announced.

"A representative of the American company Lockheed Martin, which developed both modern projects of the fifth generation of the USA fighters, told RF Johnson about the shortcomings of the PAK FA / T-50 project."

Well, if such an "authority" told, then of course.

some who somehow immediately became moody.

Now I will sign almost as a real expert that the F-22 is not a 5th generation aircraft. To do this, try to find fault with the AFAR of this AN / APG-77 (V) 1 aircraft.
1. So, open the website designation systems and the official sites Northrop Grumman and Raytheon;
2. We look at the history of the creation of AN / APG-77 (V) 1;
3. AN / APG-77 (V) 1 - such an upgraded version of AN / APG-77 was created on the basis of technical solutions used to create AFAR AN / APG-80 (which is for F-16E / F). Thus, the latest F-22 radar uses 4th generation technology. A SHAME!

One could calm down on this, but no. They provoked me very much.

4. AFAR AN / APG-80 (using the technologies of which AN / APG-77 (V) 1 was created for the F-22), created using technologies ... PULSED DOPLER AN / APG-68! Hurray, the enemy is defeated!
5. We will finish so that I do not suffer ... AN / APG-68 is based on the decrepit AN / APG-66. Fuuuu-22!
6. Thus, the radar AN / APG-77 (V) 1 for F-22 originates with the slot AN / APG-68. But how does he even fly with such a radar ?!

All this is of course a joke. Radar AN / APG-77 (V) 1 and AFAR AN / APG-80 give an idea of ​​the level of development of American science. And I am proud that our scientists can compete with the Americans on equal terms, with less funding.
But imagine two options for publishing a similar "exhaust" in relation to the radar: Western and domestic.
We will write - the West is indignant and declares that we are raving.
The West writes - we are indignant and declare that they are raving ... and in general they have same-sex marriages there.
There, the Chinese generally stated that our T-14 is significantly inferior to the Ex VT-4.

No way, Comrade Captain!
I am ashamed to write in such "democratic" magazines. I have already tried to write about the shortcomings of the VT-4 at the Chinese forum. It was based on the VT-4 modernization plan. I proceeded from the fact that since they were going to release an improved version, then there is still something to improve in it. So he is not the best. I sat for a long time with a dictionary, sculpted a comment with a serious and not biased approach ... The comment did not pass moderation ...
I think things are even worse in Merica. It is only in words there is freedom of speech.

The best advertisement will be if, before the end of the Syrian campaign, they can prepare at least a couple of planes for full combat operation and show them in action, even on existing engines.

[Maxom75]

I wonder why they don’t throw stones at China. Maybe because the Chinese general remarked that F-22 could destroy 6 Chinese planes, then we will send 10 to intercept one of the remaining ones will still bring down F-22 /))

[Ka-52]

Rather, they feel the breath of a competitor, and the Chinese plane is not considered a competitor.

[Dam]

Of course, he flies, and real fighters of the 5th generation proudly stand and scare everyone with the word STELLZ. Yes, and the dough are unmeasured! No, this is finally not a fighter, well, 5th generation cannot cost so much. How now to persuade NATO allies to tumble money into the flightless F 35

[Aleksandr72]

Well Duc, this was to be expected. Especially against the background of the fact that the promoted F-35, as they say, did not go. Yes, it is known that this "fighter" was produced in the amount of one and a half hundred copies, which against the background of the PAK-FA / T-50 can be considered a large series (at least until the T-50 went into mass production). But, the development company Lockheed Martin was counting on completely different (by an order of magnitude) volumes of orders for its F-35 Lightning II. In the meantime, I just had problems with this plane. And then there is the development of a competitor PAK-FA is approaching the final stage. There is something to sound the alarm from. Well, try to crush a competitor while he is still in the cradle. And in this business - black PR, all means are good. Especially if the media - their own, the American ones - will print anything, publish it, show it on TV, etc.
I'd like to see serial PAK-FA in combat units.
I have the honor.

[73bor]

About the released F-35s, it is safe to say (not a secret) that the aircraft is not combat ready, there is no whole range of weapons, problems with operation, and the cost doesn’t want to decrease!

Here, in addition to competition, there is another point.
The requirements for new-generation fighters are different for everyone. In fact, even the SU-35 can be classified as a 5th generation fighter (if stealth is not at the forefront). In all other respects, the 35th surpasses both the "raptor" and "Lighting".
With regards to the F-35, so what kind of fighter is it of the 5th generation, if the speed parameters are not maintained? And in terms of functionality, there are a lot of questions. And as for the EPR of mattress fighters, the numbers voiced by the Americans are just their words.
The same story is happening with PAK FA as with Armata ... they will also vote that it is cardboard. But I just want to look at those pilots on the same Raptor who would like to stand up against the T-50.
Not long to wait for the premiere of the serial PAK FA. It will be very interesting to listen to these experts Lockheed and Boeing.

Name in what "lizard" and "Lighting" are superior to SU-35S. EPR is not taken into account because it is from the words of mattresses and none of our experts, or at least European ones, did not measure the stealth of these fighters.
And I would like to compare not only the aircraft themselves, but also the arsenal.
By the way, lightning is generally not correct to compare with either the 35th or the T-50, since the latter are heavy fighters to gain air supremacy, and the F-35 is a light fighter-bomber, with which it has duties, in any modification does not do very well.

[KKND]

NOT expert in the EPR theory of the dinosaur, it will be the first to see the SU-35C and the first to launch the AIM-120C AMRAAM.
Of course, our pilot will record the exposure and begin to interfere and maneuver, but the question is whether he can get away from the missiles.
In the BVB, our SU-35S will most likely do the Raptor with the whole question of whether it will live to see the BVB.

The maximum launch range of this missile is 105 km ... let's say our R-37 has a maximum range of 300 km, and the KS-172-400 km.
And now, on the radar of the SU-35S ... the target detection range with an RCS of 0,01m is 90 km (I am convinced that this figure is greatly underestimated) ... that is, the lizard will be able to launch its AIM-120C AMRAAM, entering the detection zone by the radar SU-35. And one more thing, what is 100 km on a collision course for supersonic fighters? In my opinion, this is a "dog dump." And now we read your thesis:

In the BVB, our SU-35S is likely to be hit by a "Raptor"

Do not be such a naive philistine, the ranges for any Air-to-Air missiles are taken from the ceiling. I explain. The rocket on the pylon already has kinetic (aircraft speed relative to the Earth's surface) and potential (aircraft height relative to the Earth's surface) energy.
The target of this rocket also has the same energy. A rocket has fuel whose energy it converts into kinetic and, if necessary, into potential energy. The target and the missile can perform a variety of maneuvers and to determine unambiguously the range of the missile’s flight, it does not seem possible to depend too much, for example, on altitude, speed, velocity vector, maneuvers, etc., both the target and the carrier and the missile

The thing is that the lizard did not live up to expectations as a fighter of a new generation, due not only to cost, but also to many defects and diseases from which it has not yet been cured. In the 11th year, production was closed and the assembly lines of these were dismantled. " miracle fighters. "
Where is the Raptor used now? Has he ever dealt with enemy fighters? You sit and talk about his high maneuverability and the EPR radar, but in fact, all this was injected into your head mattresses with your eternal love for advertising.

In addition, the fighter has a promising Irbis phased array antenna with a phased array, which today has unique characteristics in terms of target detection range.

Regarding IRBIS-E, I’ll tell you my opinion ... I believe that in the near future Irbis, Kupolov and Bars will be replaced by new AFARs that are developing and testing ... the same ZhUK-AE instead of the Irbis, Kupolov and Bars. Creation of national AFAR works KRET and NIIP them. Tikhomirova. And time will tell there.

In particular, a range of 300 km is written there for target detection locators.

Well, the detection range of the S-300 in the circular sector and the number of targets are in the hundreds, while the Irbis has 400 km only in the area of ​​100 square degrees, and the detection capabilities are also much more modest than 30 targets.

The real military operations will take place not at all 1 on 1, with all the attendant goodies, such as: a network of radars of different ranges, including their Avaks and our AWACS, active radio-electronic countermeasures, layered air defense, etc. And here it is not the super indicators separately that will play the most decisive importance, but an effective and balanced combination of all the characteristics.

If PAK FA is not a fifth generation fighter, then your fu 35 is not a plane at all, but a cart ....

[g1v2]

That people like to throw pontoons. The fifth is the fifth. Armament and military equipment is a tool and its task is to ensure superiority over the enemy. If our Su35c, belonging to the fourth generation, is able to withstand their fifth and even surpasses it in some moments, then the more advanced T50 will be even cooler. And the fifth generation or the twentieth is absolutely not important. Personally, I believe that the fifth generation is a dead end generation and the sixth will not rely on it - maybe only some technologies will migrate. However, in any case, the superiority of their air force over our VKS does not rest on a couple of hundred f22 and f35, but on several thousand f15 and f16. Simply put, they have stupidly more fighters than ours, just like we have more tanks.

[Serg 122]

The representative of Lockheed Martin recalled the Russian project of the PAK FA aircraft, which is positioned by the developer as a fifth-generation fighter. However, according to the American expert, PAK FA refers to the fifth generation only in words. He believes that the fifth generation is not only a specific form that ensures stealth.

So that Americans do not blather there, all this is nonsense, with the exception of this fact:"J. Bender ends his article with a reminder of the current plans of the Russian Air Force. At the moment, it is planned to order 12 T-50 aircraft. It is mentioned that earlier it was planned to buy about 52 aircraft, but due to technical and economic problems, it was decided to cut plans."

I immediately make a reservation that all my knowledge about aviation is gleaned from open sources and extremely superficial. Recently I came across a discussion of the T-50 EPR and the following thoughts were voiced there: the EPR in the T-50 is higher than that of its American competitors, primarily from the architecture of the t / c engines, they are straight-through, rather than S-shaped, and the fuselage design left the engines themselves outside but not inside the case. It would be interesting to read the opinion of technically competent aviation enthusiasts on these arguments.
Thank you.

[ImPerts]

Also not strong in mathematics, but in the same disputes this was discussed and the opinion was such that here, for the sake of super-maneuverability, super-invisibility was brought. American principle, crept up, fired, dumped. They do not imply maneuverable combat at short distances.
Yes, and the declared EPR at F-22. It is not verified by independent experts.

[Forest]

For F-35, standard nozzles were made, because eventually decided to sacrifice stealth in exchange for flight performance. Moreover, the EPR difference turned out to be small, and taking into account new search devices (such as OLS dryers) - in the future is useless.

[Mountain shooter]

The compressor blades are clearly visible to the radars in the frontal projection of the airplane, so the Yusovsky designers "hid" the inlet sections of the engines behind the bends of the air intakes. But nothing can be gained without losing it. It is clear that such air intakes are less efficient than the Raptor flat nozzles. As a result, our team felt that the game was not worth the candle, and decided that an EPR the size of a neckerchief was not a big price to pay for the excellent flight characteristics of the T-50. And all these EPRs relate to the centimeter and millimeter range of radars. Long-wave radars are indifferent to the shape of an object comparable to their wavelength. And since there was a hint that the T-50 has antennas integrated into the skin of the aircraft, I cannot guarantee that it will see any "invisible" at the limit of range. Well, further - the faster, more maneuverable and with a better trained pilot will win. I think so!

[Falcon]

Quote: Mountain Shooter

And all these EPRs belong to the centimeter and millimeter range of radar operation. Long-wave radars are indifferent to the shape of an object comparable to their wavelength.

As the bottom of the wave increases, the EPR of the object decreases in the square. And do not repeat the notions of our propagandists that meter radars perfectly see the stealth.
The basics of radar tell the exact opposite.

Meter radars see further, since the attenuation coefficient is less. but they only see larger objects. Such as the aircraft AWACS or F-15C on tonsils hung with missiles

Meter radars see further, since the attenuation coefficient is less. but they only see larger objects.

Not larger objects, but commensurate with the wavelength, an object the size of an F-35 will be noticed, moreover, it is very noticeable in the infrared range.
In the meter range it is impossible to ensure the accuracy of the direction finding of the object and the high-quality guidance of the missiles.
All meter radars are only surveillance, i.e. giving preliminary designation. To clarify the parameters of the target and missile control, shorter waves (decimeters-centimeters) are needed, and in this range the magnitude of the EPR of stealth means of air attack is very small.
If the position of an inconspicuous aircraft is known only approximately, then this is enough for modern cm radars with a phased array to take it for tracking at relatively large distances - because it will be known where to look for it.

Just not. Since he has an EPR 0,1M

[kugelblitz]

EPR for centimeter and millimeter waves is one thing, and for meter waves it's completely different. Moreover, the EPR of stealth is primarily designed for scattering and partial absorption of radiation, therefore, the return signal is output corresponding to the obtained EPR. Such a room with meter-long waves does not roll, because there simply are no such materials as aerodynamic surfaces do not go out.
So a meter range radar will see and even give an approximate bearing in the direction for a narrowly directed centimeter (millimeter) radar antenna, which due to the large radiated power will allow you to pinpoint the exact coordinates and send a missile there, or aim an interceptor ...

it's mine. Why did I give a formula for calculating the EPR of an object?

Here it is quite clear that the EPR is inversely proportional to the SQUARE wavelength. No paints are needed anymore, it already falls in a SQUARE at a meter range.

Explain to me, stupid, what is in this formula j.

The distribution of electric surface current in the area

[bk316]

I realized thanks, but then you are wrong.

Because in the EPR formula, the wavelength is also under the integral, and I can easily set the surface shape and current distribution such that the function will not be monotonically decreasing from the wavelength, it will have beats, even probably resonance.

Maybe that's why you are minus (not me)?

And by the way, when they write to you about the value of F-35, they’ll probably mean linear dimensions, just when the size and wavelength are equal for some distributions of j, there will be resonance. You count the integral, numerically it's easy.

This is taken into account. Here a special case is given, for a convex surface, for clarity.
The EPR of a complex object is calculated by DOR.

At the receiving point, a set of parietal signals reflected from different parts of the object simultaneously arrives. They have random phase relationships, since the reflection points are located unpredictably from each other and change over time. With some addition of OD, an increase in the resulting amplitude occurs - the effect of a brilliant point, and at other positions a decrease in the amplitude and a failure of the DOR.

All complex goals are a combination of brilliant points and resonant elements. Therefore, the DOR has a complex multi-leaf nature, and the number of petals and dips between them, like the width of the petals, depends on the ratio of the largest target size to the wavelength!

They got 0,01m. But this is only an estimate.
We vryatli will be able to check them. The article is simply furious Professor Sokolov Andrey Vladimirovich wrote. He has many articles on this subject (aircraft radar)

In general, in reality, they are measured in anechoic chambers

or on special stands. It is impossible to count.

[bk316]

Well, if you want to understand, let's decide what is the element base.
What is your definition?

And about KSU-130, as you know, it consists of a lot of what, to be honest, I saw only UUP-6 UK-9 produced by OAO UPZ, I didn’t notice the pentium there. Moreover, I did not see the assembly system, but the hardware and software architecture was published and in my opinion there is nothing to do in any component or am I wrong?

[FID]

And on the UPU and on the Criminal Code, and on the Central Exhibition Complex, and on the HC, and on the UE there are (in a greater number) elements of US development made in Taiwan ... And what will I decide, with what? 1NT251A rarely where you will meet ... Even resistors, God forgive me ...

[bk316]

Attention, you quoted:
"But I know why, because when the vast majority write on the forums about electronics and computers, they think about stumps and Windows. And neither one nor the other is needed for the same T-50. "
And now you are writing about 1NT251A.

Is this what is being determined, or do you think that we cannot produce resistors? here 90nm processors can doand resistors can not?

When they talk about the element base, somehow they mean everything different: some about resistors, others about VLSI.

And do not confuse people with products that they have never seen and will not see.
Take a simple mother from ASUS, read what is written on mikruh, and you will see what is present: single capacitors, transistors, ICs and VLSIs such as the south bridge, that is, representatives of 3 generations of the element base.

So I say that for the T-50 you do not need those VLSIs that we really can’t do. And that we put Chinese (not Taiwanese) resistors, because it’s cheaper.

But all that you saw on existing planes can do, well, almost everything. Believe me, I can order a pass to Angstrom if there is an admission.

And 90nm is the day before yesterday, but if you read my posts carefully, I praised Zelenograd ...

Yesterday's sooner.
And Angstrom is just an example, you look at the production there and you will immediately realize that everything that they did in the USSR will be done. So do not worry about resistors and capacitors - this is purely an economy cheaper in Taiwan to buy in Taiwan, it will be necessary to do with us.

But what really excites me (maybe because it's my specialty) is all that the microcode has. Certification of the FSTEC is not just profanation, but we know what happened. And everything that is used in connection is especially worrying. They dismantled K-60, but the fact that they replaced the export one is not our devices themselves, but the controllers are gone, that is, even the controllers of our development, but the production is in China. It seems that everything is certified for the absence of bookmarks, but this is in batches ...

There is no smoke without fire, at this stage some deviations from the full list of capabilities of this aircraft as a fifth generation fighter are possible. But this machine has not yet entered the army, and as everyone knows, it is undergoing tests. In the near future we will not learn about the full characteristics of this complex, we will not find out overseas specialists. Take for example a cruise missile caliber. According to the performance characteristics, the flight range should be 300 km, but in fact, as we all saw 1500, but this is not all, there is already talk that the flight range can reach 3000 km. So is the case with the T-50. Why do we need to tell all the features of the machine. Let them think, itch. strain, and articles of this kind can be initially provocative. We must trust our designers if we said the fifth means the fifth, because 4 ++ is already visible in business.

[Mountain shooter]

The arguments about the ultra-low EPR of Amerov’s prodigy, from the point of view of physics, do not stand up to criticism.
You should always include the radar ranges on which these results are obtained. Meter radars (long-wave) are good at observing any "Invisible" as they see an aircraft of any shape, as a linear object of this size. Fortunately, our S 400 type air defense systems have this range. Well, when a rocket with an active seeker approaches the "invisible" at a close distance, it will see it at any RCS.
Well, throwing mud at a competitor, especially one as dangerous as ours, is in the order of things. The other day, striped-eared pharmacists were literally bile when our vaccine against Ebola turned out to be many times better than theirs. And so everywhere.

I hope our industry will respond to this not with a press conference, but with new developments and the T-50 fighters that have been commissioned by the Aerospace Forces. You can endlessly listen to the "+" "-" PAK-FA, while it is not in the troops in the required quantity, these conversations will be empty.

It's very funny when you read how these American guys are running around with this "invisibility", which is actually called stealth. They consider this characteristic to prevail over all the others and write off any technique that, in their opinion, does not fully possess these properties. Reminiscent of the suffering of an old maid who rushes about with her innocence and does not know where to put it. Moreover, the analysis of modern radars, given in one of the articles, suggests that the promising technology will perfectly detect all these "invisible things". But if we consider all this from the point of view of marketing, then the mysterious invisibility certainly weighs heavily on the imagination of the buyer. Maybe they don’t need anything else?

[voyaka uh]

"Moreover, the analysis of modern radars given in one of the articles suggests that

Will be in about 10 years. But stealth does not stand still. On glider surfaces
there will be sensors that learn from which direction and at what frequency the plane is probing.
And special elements will dynamically change the properties of absorbing materials at this frequency so that there is no back reflection.

Well, if you look formally, then Ibis is really not an AFAR. And there is no engine of the second stage and will not be earlier than 2017, and without it there is no even afterburning supersound ...

Another thing is that in American planes, not everything from the fifth-generation fantasy list is there.

We need to pragmatically bring the T-50 to the necessary characteristics, and in the meantime, buy more SU-35.

[voyaka uh]

I think so too. Launch production as is. And the new engines
and AFAR to put on new planes in the future and replace with already flying ones.
And establish joint production with India.
Time is expensive. Soon, the Chinese, not only Americans, will begin to sell the 5th generation.

[red_october]

The heading clearly shows that the author of the article and its sources doubt the prospects of the Russian PAK FA / T-50 project and believe that it does not fully meet the requirements for the fifth generation of fighters.
In my opinion, all this fuss with the "fifth generation" and inconspicuousness resembles some kind of marketing ploy, similar to the advertising "head and shoulders", when there is "Shampoo No. 1" and "other shampoos". An inquisitive viewer should not doubt the existence of an alternative reality.
The Americans are running around with their legend of the "invisible" and the fifth generation, saying that it exists, and here and there, and in the F-35 and F-22 it is 100% implemented, not like these barbarians Russians. "Fifth Generation" means F-22/35. Dot.
I have no doubt that these fighters have a ton of breakthrough solutions in avionics and so on and so forth. The question is whether this machine is ready to conduct real combat operations, even according to the scenario of a "network-centric war" in a specific theater of operations against an enemy armed not even with a PAK-FA, but with an air group of standard Su-30SMs led by, say (!) A-50 or A-100? And produce the specific desired result. The specific result is a criterion for the effectiveness of a fighter, and not its belonging to the legend of the invincible "fifth generation" promoted (including in many respects) by PR specialists and marketers "Lockheed Martin".
There is nothing to bother with these nonsense and calmly improve the Su-30 / 34 / 35 and PAK-FA. If industry intelligence provides some information about the F-35 / 22 - even better. Sin is not to take advantage. I hope this happens.

Royben F. Johnson and comrade Jeremy Bender (apparently a descendant) at a meeting of the "small council of people's commissars" (c) decided:
- to consider any planes that fly well and can be controlled by pilots without correcting their mistakes with an American-made on-board computer unworthy of the high rank of the 5 generation;
- recognize that 5 generation airplanes can be produced only in the USA;
- The entire Asia-Pacific region to stop trying to purchase aircraft from unworthy manufacturers;
- approve this resolution unanimously (2me votes) and oblige all countries of the world to comply strictly.
And if SU 35 is not even quite 4 ++, but closer to 5-, then this is not their competence, so the issue is not being considered.
I think so, but I - air defense: he did not fly and disturbed others. I can be wrong.

Well here, of course, you can understand them in something, if the F-35 is a 5th generation aircraft, then the T-50 is clearly not from this company. Do not pay attention to statements of this kind of media, let them play and convince each other that PAK FA is a deep modernization of PO-2, and Armata is a modified O8 steam engine (sheep), but for God's sake, what is it to us ???

Yes, even if at least the first generation will be called, the main thing is to beat the "lizards". And the US chatter should not be taken into account at all.

[Dimon19661]

How can you take these articles seriously? The T-50 is not a production aircraft, it is a prototype. It will go into series with other engines, with modified avionics, even with a different name. More than one foreign air defense system has never taken him to escort in order to at least somehow judge his EPR. All the main characteristics of the aircraft are classified.

[partizan86]

What difference does it make to which generation? The main thing is that the aircraft performs its tasks better, or at least not worse than its competitors.

And we are going to take. We are talking about 4 F-35 squadrons with our weapons and our avionics, and it will be much better than the basic F-35. And in addition, the possibility of acquiring the F-15E squadron to work on ground targets after the 35th suppress anti-aircraft defense is being weighed. And let me say one more thing. Patriotism is a good thing, but a true patriot should see everything in real light, and not through pink glasses. I love my country no less than you do mine, but this does not prevent me from recognizing the unsatisfactory position of sniper business in the linear units of the IDF or my user dislike of Galil. And you guys, if you look at the statistics of air battles of Soviet aircraft against Western ones, starting from the 50s, you will understand that the ratio of losses at times is not in favor of Soviet aircraft. And after testing our MIG-29 Air Force 20 years ago, the purchase of F-16 was reduced, as the pilots were convinced that the MIG-29 was not a threat. This is true, even if it is unpleasant for someone.

[Dimon19661]

Show pliz statistics from the 50s, where the losses of Soviet aircraft are many times more than American ones. It’s interesting to look. About the MIG-29, you really rented them from Poland. But from your forum,

On the MiG-29 flew 3 Israeli test pilots, each managed to complete about 20 flights.

I liked the automatic landing and automatic stabilization systems (for example, if the pilot has a "vertigo").

The maneuverability of the aircraft is comparable to the F-15 and F-16, and the thrust ratio is better than the F-15.

The weapon system (a combination of a radar, a helmet-mounted sight and missiles, as well as an IRST thermal imager) is good. The ability to carry missiles with guidance radar gives him an advantage over aircraft without such missiles (in 1997, the Israeli F-16 did not have medium-range missiles).

At the same time, it was noted that the Israeli helmet-mounted sight is better, but the MiG-29 is still good.

The aircraft is reliable, durable, easy to maintain.

Disadvantages:
1) the ergonomics of the cockpit are not well thought out, the integration of various systems is not good enough, the pilot is not always able to take advantage of all the information received from the aircraft systems in time.
2) the ability to attack ground targets is very limited;



And mind you, these are the reviews of your pilots. And you stopped buying because of a cut in the budget of the Air Force. So you don’t need about pink patriotism, you’re truly ambitious.

Our colleague from sunny Israel speaks the truth, therefore, as a patriot of his country who has drunk his rose-colored glasses on drink, I will also allow myself to express my opinion (well, according to the text of the article, respectively). The Russian PKP "Pecheneg" is not a machine gun, since it uses the same cartridge as in Mosin's "three-line". Even the automatic fire mode, belt feed, a box for belts, bipods and other "pribluda" do not make it a full-fledged machine gun, but rather a "three-line" for "4 ++". Especially depressing is its 80% compatibility with another older "non-machine gun" PKM. The presence of "non-scatter" tapes not only does not allow competing with more advanced Western models at all, but even claim to be a "three-line" at "5".

So, regarding the engines, such information was broadcast on the Zvezda TV channel in a report on the setting of a new rate of climb record: the previous record was set on a lightweight SU-27 (everything unnecessary for the record was removed, they didn’t even paint it to make it lighter) and they achieved a thrust coefficient of 2. For the T-50, such a coefficient can only be obtained with a second-stage engine, and in the report they subtly hinted at this fact (and we draw our own conclusions), and even before the heap - the aircraft test pilot said that he had never tried anything close to the T-50 and Not all the capabilities of this aircraft have been revealed yet, but it has tried everything. And finally, a representative of the plant said that this year the plant will release another pre-production model, and by the end of the year they will begin producing production aircraft for the army.
So I believe that the plane will be great and everything will work out for us.

It’s interesting that when the same publications or similar ones write about the problems of the F35, it’s all true and the dollars are wasted. And when it comes to the T-50, they are not competent.
But in reality, it happens that when one project is believed so blindly and is not discussed from A to Z, then the state’s money is wasted.

In general, the division of aircraft into generations is very arbitrary and does not have clear agreed upon criteria. ordinary anti-advertising.

About the F-22
1) It’s very strange why the F22 is obviously better (it at least looks like an airplane, and there is no doubt about its ability to fly normally) compared to the F35, they did not modernize it, continue to produce and make a deck version.

2) Statements that it is too expensive are unconvincing due to the fact that the United States does not count money, and due to the fact that the price is high due to the small series. And now it’s even less convincing when it became known how much the F-35 costs (which in theory should be cheap and therefore widespread and vice versa).

3) A bunch of messages from different sources and mainly from US departments themselves, not just about childhood illnesses, but about serious unreliability of engines, problems with the oxygen station, with stealth coating, with on-board electronics and software. Moreover, these messages continue to arrive https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7KmL2Za1kEA.

4) Why do the 4th generation F-15 aircraft continue to be produced and modernized (F-15SE) But the 5th generation F-22 aircraft, a direct competitor to the F-15, is not produced or modernized. Although, logically, the F-22 should consistently replace the F-15 in the US Air Force. (Maybe McDonell Douglas turned out to be a more serious developer than Lockheed Martin (involved in a bunch of scandals about bribery and kickbacks (who bought the F16 from General Dynamics and does not have his own developments 4 -th generation)))

Surprisingly, Americans always blame everyone for their own shortcomings (in technology, in politics, almost everywhere). And statements about the T-50’s non-compliance with 5th generation standards relate exclusively to the f35 and these statements were made by the creators of the f 35, they already know what to blame. That is, their statement sounds like “No, it’s your T-50 that does not correspond to the 5th generation, not our F35.”

Our aviation skeptics and skeptics turned out to be more meticulous and fastidious, and found fault with the T-50 in more reasoned and detailed ways than Lockheed Mateen representatives could. On the other hand, outright nonsense is more difficult to refute.

“Let us present purely formal studies of the independent Australian analytical organization Air Power Australia, which demonstrate, let’s say, the great cunning of representatives of the company that produces the most expensive fighter aircraft in the world. It conducted an “audit” of the compliance of advertising brochures with the real state of affairs for the “Americans” F-22, F-35, the "Chinese" J-12 and the "Russian" T-50. The Su-35S took part in the comparison outside the competition. The principle was simple. There are 14 criteria for an aircraft to belong to the fifth generation. If the aircraft meets one or another criterion, then a unit was added to its amount, and in case of discrepancy, it was subtracted.
The results were unexpected for Lockheed Martin.
T-50 - plus 8.
F-22 and Su-35S - plus 2.
J-12 - 0.
F-35 - minus 8."

from the very beginning of this whole undertaking with the FAK PA, it was clear that the greatly reduced Russian military-industrial complex would not be able to support such a machine. They show on TV a modified SU-35, which is nothing more than a modernized Su-27.
There is no talk of any fifth generation.
They are bombing abreks in Syria, demolishing both schools and hospitals. No precision ammunition. In short, bragging and stupidity, as always

The P-33 has a maximum overload of 16g, the P-77 has 30g. What is it for?

And what about Raptor or any other fighter? What overload can a pilot withstand and what turns and somersaults is a manned vehicle capable of?

Perhaps you are not tankers? Two theoretic sniper pilots, approved by Group No. 7 by order of the Ministry of Defense No. 455 to fly in a simulator, grappled! And what about g carrier, rocket, g target? There are no words, only drool!

I’m embarrassed to ask what generation the F-22 and F-35 belong to if they are inferior to the SU-35 generation 4++
