Sixth generation fighter: near far


A promising front-line complex has not yet been adopted aviation T-50, and in Russia work began on the creation of a sixth generation fighter
Talk about the work on the sixth generation fighter received official confirmation. At a meeting on the development of the Russian military aviation 2 in March, the company "Sukhoi" announced the data on the development of such an aircraft in manned and unmanned versions. After the event, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin and Commander-in-Chief of the Air and Space Forces (VKS) of Russia Viktor Bondarev stated this. Having substantiated the need for such works: “If we stop now, we will stop forever,” Colonel-General Bondarev noted that airplanes are being created “... and of the sixth, and, probably, seventh” generation. According to him, unmanned fighters can be created in Russia in three years.

It would seem that in a situation of incomplete work with a promising aviation complex of front-line aviation (PAK FA) and known as T-50, it’s premature to talk about the next one. However, a look beyond the “horizon” is a global trend, an engine for the development of existing and creation of promising technologies. Finally, it is a guarantee that Russia will remain in the “pool” of world leaders and will not sink to the level of a “banana” republic with the loss of national dignity.

Optimists are inspired, skeptics persist in their doubts about the achievement of the tasks set, and pragmatists make cautious forecasts and suggestions for solving the latter. The truth of each of them in the current, very difficult economic conditions is not easy to assess today, because each opinion is usually reasonable. But one thing is certain, the truth is somewhere in the middle.

Optimists


One of the "inspiring" arguments is the above and quite capacious statement of the Commander-in-Chief of the All-Union Confederation of the Armed Forces Viktor Bondarev. Indeed, promising work in the aircraft industry stimulates the creation of new materials, technologies and advanced end products. The airline industry, as the locomotive of our entire industry, accumulates the latest scientific and technological achievements, which are then introduced into other national economic sectors and our daily lives.

At one time, it was active work in aviation that brought our country into the leaders of the global aircraft industry, became the basis of victory in the Great Patriotic War. And today in this area we are on an equal footing with other leading countries.

Skeptics

But there are reasons that cause skepticism about plans and opportunities for the development of our combat aircraft, the aircraft industry as a whole. First of all, it is connected with our fifth-generation multifunctional fighter T-50. The most common question is: when will the aircraft enter service with our own VKS with its own engine, and not its counterpart?

Statements about the arrival of the first T-50 serial fighter aircraft in the 2017 year, which were not once repeated, are not encouraging among skeptics. Perhaps their point of view would change the periodic coverage of encouraging results in this direction. In particular, such. After the meeting at the Sukhoi company, it was announced that the PAK FA tests were completed, which should carry out the first flight with its own second-stage engine (product 30) in 2018. In total, in the period up to 2020, the military should get fifth-generation 55 fighters.

They do not add faith in our aviation industry and statements that are disavowed after some time. So, once it was stated that the promising aviation complex of long-range aviation (PAK DA) would be almost hypersonic. But just a few days after that, the representative of the long-range aviation clarified that the promising aircraft would be subsonic.

Against the background of existing successes in the creation of combat aircraft and helicopters, skeptics point to a rather deplorable situation in the field of civil aviation. The vast majority of its aircraft, mostly not new, "flew" to us from abroad. There is no special reason to believe that they appeared with us according to the principle: “God for you, that we are not worthy,” nevertheless, their dominance on the domestic and external routes of Russian airlines is a very good reason for skepticism about the possibilities of producing our own aircraft.

As a result, there are questions like, but where are our famous civil aircraft of the “Tu”, “Il”, “Yak” brands? Why did you decide to attract foreign pilots to work in Russia, and the implementation of domestic developments is strongly hampered? And these are just some of the many. There are no encouraging answers to such questions, which does not allow skeptics to move to another “weight” category.

Pragmatists


It can be assumed that this category is closest to the truth and occupies the “golden” middle. Supporting the first, they soberly assess the existing situation, and, agreeing with the second on some issues, indicate the most acceptable, in their view, ways to eliminate the reasons for skepticism. The basis for pragmatists and their approach to assessing the state of affairs in the aviation industry is the principle of achieving the desired, taking into account the real possibilities for this.

It must be assumed that it is their assessments and proposals that should underlie the decisions and actions taken for the further development of the Russian aviation industry. Otherwise, the end result will be overstated or completely unjustified government spending, the loss of priorities, promising areas and projects. And there are such examples in both the combat and civil aviation sectors. Pointing to the “thin” places of pragmatics, thus they give directions for improvement and the elimination of shortcomings.

Thus, the emphasis on the development of, of course, efficient, Su family aircraft, at one time, blocked oxygen for the development of a line of light MiG-type fighter aircraft. However, practice has shown that this is one of the promising areas in the development of combat aircraft. Approximately the same situation is observed with aircraft of the Beriev Design Bureau.

Even more violations of real approaches to the creation of new types of pragmatists are noted in the field of civil aviation. It is enough to remember what efforts and funds were spent on the creation and promotion of the Russian short-haul Superjet-100 aircraft (Sukhoi Superjet 100, SSJ 100). But the expected breakthrough in this area, solid orders for its production and improvement of the situation in the domestic air transportation market did not happen. This example, in conjunction with the above, about airplanes of the type “Tu”, “Il”, “Be”, “Yak” and others - vividly confirms the correctness of the assessment of the situation by pragmatists and the development of recommendations corresponding to it.

As a result


The conclusion is obvious - the work on the fighter of the sixth generation is objectively necessary. Otherwise, we again find ourselves in the role of catch-up, as happened with the electronics. But it should be remembered that any new development requires appropriate and, as a rule, considerable funding. In the current situation it is one of the most important “stumbling blocks”. Today it is necessary, with a minimum of government expenditures on a competitive basis, to ensure that all those who are able to make a real contribution can participate in this work. Only after selecting the project that meets the requirements of the customer, to ensure its state financing in strict compliance with the designated deadlines. Obtaining a state order for the creation of a specific sample should be a “reward” and an incentive for all equally.

As for the likely appearance of the sixth generation fighter, then it makes sense to listen to the arguments of the pragmatists. Pavel Ivanov, editor-in-chief of Aviapanorama, expressed it in a concentrated form. He believes that "a super-advanced FA complex (SPAK FA)," as he conditionally calls the new future complex for front-line aviation, "must be unmanned ...". However, the current "technological level allows us to rely more on a dual variant SPAK FA", which will allow "some of the combat missions to be solved by unmanned aircraft, and some by manned aircraft. Such a decision has already been voiced, and it is based on deep common sense. ”

Ivanov believes that "SPAK FA" should be "substantially lighter, as well as cheaper than the PAK FA", which is one of the "natural conditions for creating a fleet of aircraft that is significant for national defense in real terms".

In addition, it is necessary to take into account the existing experience. According to Ivanov, it is important not to step on the American rake, but to carefully circumvent them, and, in his opinion, one should not dive deep into developments “far ahead of their time”. He considers the latter condition more suitable for “PR in political games, in internal competition”. “With a very limited budget and a shortage of time that has not suddenly arisen,” the victories in them “turn into considerable losses for the country, and in the worst case such developments become a quality reserve for foreign projects,” says Aviapanorama's editor-in-chief.

If we summarize the existing opinions on this topic, we can assume the following. High cost will be one of the decisive factors in expanding the functionality of the sixth generation fighter. Chances are of using stealth technologies when creating them. With a supersonic cruising airspeed, the aircraft of the sixth generation will have super-maneuverability, a long range and be equipped with the most modern high-precision weapons.

"Six" will be able to operate in a single combat information and control system. It can also be assumed that this aircraft will be used in manned and unmanned modes. It is not excluded that this machine will inherit much from its predecessor.

Thus, work on the sixth generation combat fighter is necessary, but taking into account the current economic realities, the capabilities of the state and the experience gained in the development and testing of the PAK FA.

        I remember a story about Khrushchev when the generals told him they say let's get ahead of America in arms!
        And then he asked a question to a question - Why? What would they see our bare butt?
        Here it is the same. 3 / 14ndos found themselves how to spend an unrealistic pile of dough on F35, and now we look envious of them.
        Everything should be in moderation. Let me remind you of a banter from a foreign aviator about F22 (raptor), they say the plane is so inconspicuous (well, like a stealth one) that it has not been seen in a single conflict until now, it's a little expensive fly, even democrats are afraid to lose it.
        In general, first put on the wing of the poltos, then continue to dream.

              Our existing cruise missiles are guided on a fire-and-forget basis. The coordinates of the target are entered into them on the ground (as an option, photographs of targets can also be entered for guidance at the final stage). After launch, it is no longer possible to retarget them. And it’s not necessary - strategic missiles have as their targets strategic objects, and they, as you know, are very inactive.

        Many have plenty of political will. And even there is money. But few have real opportunities. Look, the Chinese have been trying to unite the Russian aircraft engines for a year, and there is no result from the word at all, because it is not a solution to develop technology, even at the highest level.

But we cannot get an informational picture from a 2 km section of the Turkish-Syrian border in the absence of air resistance and air defense systems. with the help of AWACS aircraft, or with the help of reconnaissance aircraft, or ground-based radar systems and other means of reconnaissance ..... Neither, nor how .... Therefore, the flow of terrorists does not dry up ... Even if the entire territory of Syria is cleared ... They will climb from the territory of Turkey and Iraq and from other sides ... But we make robots, attack drones, UAVs based on the Yak-100, aircraft of the 2th and 130th generation, etc., which can be used in a "single combat information -the control system "later, when we make it ...I think that now everyone understands where the main efforts need to be directed, where the money needs to be injected urgently.

But you need real-time target coordinates so that artillery and multiple launch rocket systems and other weapons can work on them, again in real time with adjustments, including for maneuvering targets ... I want a lot ... But this is the first step, why then make a Coalition or SZO with a range of up to 140 km? Where will they shoot? Or will we send a spotter or interview local residents? Why ultra-modern weapons (and we already have them), if they don’t know where to shoot. And they won’t know.

                A very substantive and high-quality answer ... But we are talking about something else. Imagine the operator behind the monitor with the coordinate grid of the controlled area, which receives the digital image from the UAV at the current time. The task of controlling the UAV and relaying the signal is performed by technical specialists with a communication channel at operator.The operator’s area on the monitor shows the defeat zones of the donated assets. The operator visually or using special programs identifies targets. He selects the appropriate means of destruction from the given ones. The defeat means are tied to the coordinate grid and use the calculator to determine the rotation and excess angles. And they fire , it is better in automatic mode, destroying the target. Of course, simplifications or options are possible depending on the degree of integration of reconnaissance and destruction means. This cannot be done in manual mode or by phone. These modes must be provided, personnel are trained and trained. Separate systems are opportunities allow you to do this, technically Its improvements are insignificant. You need to train, choose the best options and learn and implement. From what is and will succeed. Who should do this, what do scientific companies do? When will the generals understand this ... WHAT do military universities and academies do? Industry will not bring it's on a silver platter ... There is no time, we are lagging behind.

                  somewhere around the way you described.

      But one thing is certain - the truth is somewhere in between.

      In general, the way the classics taught, the truth is always concrete. Specifically, in this case, the delay with the T-50 is associated with the "native" engine "product 30", which is still underdeveloped, and is being dealt with by the Rybinsk NPO Saturn. Well, and "Sukhoi" that idle, the design bureau has almost completely done its job and has every reason and opportunity to engage in the sixth generation. Well, they will concentrate, in extreme cases, an insignificant part of the smile on the fine-tuning of the T-50 with a new engine, so this is still 18 years.

      Hopefully, the concrete truth here is that (though zaminusuyte, but as a Khazanov parrot I will stand my ground), never, since the days of the USSR, we have not had normal competitive civil aviation (only IL 18 received an international certificate in due time - but to the point). The main disadvantage is the very expensive operation: the engines ate fuel above all acceptable limits and the long time of ground preparation (somewhere around 14 for ours and 6-8 for them), without thinking about noise, comfort and other small things. So, in principle, our developers, if according to modern requirements, then everything - from scratch. And there is no certainty that the first pancake will not be lumpy. Immediately, too, we need our own specific school, which, in principle, we did not have.

    The war of equals will be on earth. Which will be all in the funnels from the TNW and ICBMs. Both planes and tanks will be needed in the hundreds of months. And no money will help to produce 200-300 raptors per month. There is simply not enough qualified staff.

      There is such a rule of 50%, in which, if there is more than 50% in a new airplane, it is more likely that it simply will not fly, or it will be difficult to teach it to fly.
      And therefore, I believe, everything will be done in stages. They will bring to mind the PAK FA, after, after a while, they will upgrade it, introducing technologies that they plan to use on the 6th generation fighter, and after that they will sculpt a new fighter. It was approximately the same with SU -35C and PAK FA, where the 35th transitional stage from generation 4 to five.

    The development of the 6th generation is, of course, good, that's just
    1) An unmanned fighter is, in my opinion, still a utopia. The Americans with great difficulty finish the manned universal stealth fighter F-35 by investing an astronomical sum into it, but they have not yet been able to bring the unmanned fighter for aircraft carriers (X-47) .An unmanned stealth fighter is simply incomparably more complicated.
    2) And it is completely incomprehensible what the dual concept of manned-unmanned means? Need to create 2 types of fighter? But why ? After all, if an unmanned need is created, the need for manned will disappear. There are so far only questions.
    3) The thesis that the 6th generation will be cheaper than the 5th is very strange. Is this due to what? So far, the value in the transition from generation to generation has only increased rapidly.
    If you remove unmanned, then so far the requirements for the 6th generation differ little from the 5th. Perhaps the 6th generation, like the 3rd, will become intermediate, in this case intermediate, before the creation of unmanned fighters.

    In new and modernized aircraft, an increasingly important role and a share of the cost is played by electronics of all kinds, from electronic warfare to avionics. A glider can serve for a long time, if it was originally designed with high quality competent TK, for the purpose. So it is not necessary to start designing a 6+ aircraft, but its role in the future to start modeling on a computer and on simulators, taking into account the next generation of missile defense, air defense, drones, etc.
    Or do we need to come up with a new niche that nobody has so far - the British had a plane of vertical (shortened) take-off of the haari, the Americans decided to develop stealth, maybe we need to do reincarnation Spirals at a new level, or the carrier of drones?
    In general, one gets the impression that different countries are trying to draw their rivals into the race with their statements - who will throw more money into something unnecessary. Both mass, inexpensive, easy to learn and reliable in operation weapons and things (the light fighter?) Fight and sell best of all.

    Now it’s already not possible to find the Old, but it has long been seen that ours began working on the 6th generation 15 years ago, only without a pump because it was commissioned by the Americans. Then we still didn’t pass KB Mile .. only the public saved.
    Now there are enough specialists to simulate on a computer, but iron engineers, technologists literate in the afternoon with fire !!!

    In the fall of 1935, the pilot Baidukov proposed to Chkalov to organize a record flight from the USSR to the USA through the North Pole and lead the crew of the aircraft. In the spring of 1936, Chkalov, Baidukov and Belyakov turned to the government with a proposal to conduct such a flight, but Stalin, fearing the repetition of an unsuccessful flight attempt, personally indicated another route plan: Moscow - Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. This flight started on July 20, 1936 and lasted 56 hours before landing on the sandy spit of Udd. The total length of the record route was 9375 kilometers.

    And a year later there was a flight to America, after which it became clear that the USSR became a great aviation power ... This level of development in aviation was achieved in a few years ... There would be a desire and the right strategy ... How then did you manage without miracles economists and managers ?? I can’t imagine request

    dog-dog. I wish our filmmakers to make a film for the anniversary!

    Quote: Yuri from Volgograd
    Let me remind you a banter from one foreign aviator about F22 (raptor), they say the plane is so inconspicuous (well, like a stealth one) that they have not yet been seen in any conflict

    but the T-50 is constantly in the sky!

      Two rollers show US in-flight refueling during ISIS airstrikes. Clip it: KC-135 Stratotanker refueling with a B-1 Lancer bomber on a strike mission in Syria. F-22 Raptor at night in Syria. Both clips were filmed on September 27, 2014.

    To do new, you need to have advanced science. as was the most powerful modern electronics industry in the USSR. Today there is none of this, on paper will draw what is available in the field of science. All this looks like another project.

    [b] It can also be assumed that this aircraft will be used in manned and unmanned modes. [It is possible, but not necessary. Soon all the people will put their "teeth on the shelf" ... Not because it does not work or something else, but simply DOES NOT DAY. And someone rakes in full in all kinds of offshore and others like them. And how we watch TV like this - such rubbish and all day ........

    I would very much like that up to the 6th generation, the Russian Federation had at least 500 shock UAVs. How is this going?

    So far, all this has been done with a pitchfork on water, the requirements for the 6th generation have been properly formed, it seems to me. In which design bureau they will develop it is not clear, there is little clarity, Comrade Ragozin blurted out something on Twitter and raced ...

    A promising T-50 front-line aviation complex has not yet been adopted, and work has begun in Russia on the creation of a sixth-generation fighter.

    You can "start work" on anything, but if you have not yet released a fifth-generation aircraft, then I can talk about the sixth generation .... You can, easily, you can finally talk, if you want to ... Only now I am thinking about the results not in our lifetime. This is reality. You can't jump over it. True, we can do it even next year, like "Armatu", raw, scary and ill-considered. It took us 15 years to perfect the world's best aircraft, let alone the sixth generation aircraft.
