NI: the flaws of F-35 will make it easy prey for Russian air defense

Although the American F-35 is positioned as a fighter of the 5 generation, it has weak points that will turn it into an easy target for the Russian and Chinese RBOs, writes The National Interest. Article leads RIA News.

NI: the flaws of F-35 will make it easy prey for Russian air defense


“The allegations that the F-35 will be effective against the Russian air defense systems are questionable, since Russia has invested heavily in the development of a network of radar stations,” the author of the article believes.

Referring to the opinion of Mike Kofman, a researcher at the Center for Naval Analysis, the publication writes: “The question is not whose plane is more imperceptible, but how imperceptible our aircraft are for Russian radar stations operating in the UHF and VHF bands”.

At the same time, the expert points to a substantial, in his opinion, lack of aircraft: “The fighter has a single-engine engine that does not have any mechanisms for reducing the visibility of the exhaust.”

This means that "the thermal footprint of the F-35 makes it easy to detect a fighter and strike at it," he explains.

      NI: the flaws of F-35 will make it easy prey for Russian air defense

      I will tell the USA how to make the F-35 invisible to Russian air defense: do not fly into the coverage area of ​​our radars! Better yet, let them stay at their airfields.

              ... in what dream did you have a dream ?! ... infa from 2014:
              The U.S. Air Force signed a contract with the American company Lockheed Martin for the supply of 440 AGM-158 JASSM cruise missiles, Flightglobal reports. The deal amounted to 449 million dollars. The agreement was signed in mid-December 2013, but this became known only now. The purchase was made as part of a larger program to equip the US Air Force with new cruise missiles. Under the terms of the agreement, Lockheed Martin will have to transfer 340 JASSM missiles to the US Air Force. basic performance and another hundred missiles of this type with increased range (JASSM-ER). The contract also provides for the provision of maintenance services, the supply of tools and test equipment. Given the new batch of missiles, the total volume of the order for JASSM from the US Air Force increased to 2,1 thousand units.

          Are they there, but where will their FU-35 be shoved? Inside? I'm afraid they will not fit stupidly. To the external suspension? What's the point? Then the Fu-35 becomes invisible into a good view, and the invisibility of both the aircraft itself and the rocket will not help here.
          Yes and it is not advisable, the same F-16 and F / A-18 will cope with such a task much better.
          With the same success, we can say that the FU-35 will be equipped with combat lasers, which are now being tested at Boeing.

          ... well, let's say there is one, and what follows from this? ... I’m always wondering why when they bring such options ... they are always very modestly silent the main thing ... in order for this AGM-158B to reach the target and be struck by the need for external target designation and constant awareness of the target designator about the location of the rocket ... we read:
          Further development of the AGM-158 missile involves a phased increase in its combat effectiveness through the use of more modern technologies and the use of new design solutions. The main goal in this case is to enable automated correction of the inertial control system based on continuous updating of target designation data from various external sources in real time, which is believed to make it possible to hit mobile ground and surface targets without the use of expensive homing systems, and also retarget a rocket in flight. These tasks will be accomplished through interaction through the integrated data network of the onboard missile guidance system, carrier aircraft and reconnaissance aircraft and strike control systems of the Jistars system.
          ... that is, the Kyrgyz Republic deprived of the seeker and it is controlled by external target designation:
          When launching a rocket over a long range, the problem of transmitting information about the current location of the rocket arises. This information is necessary, in particular, to determine whether a missile hits a target. The existing design includes a BIA (Bomb Impact Assessment) type transmitter (Bomb Impact Assessment) and an antenna device on the rocket body, which transmit data to the strategic reconnaissance aircraft RC-25V and W at speeds up to 135 bps in the frequency range 9600-391.7 MHz.
          ... generally ... that's all... simply and in Russian: ... I'm flying, I'm flying, I'm here, I'm here, I'm here ... come here my soft bread said RTR means and gave target designation to air defense means ... here's the end of the song ... hi

              The upgraded version of the rocket - AGM-158B is made with preservation of the overall dimensions (starting weight and warhead mass) of the prototype - AGM-158A. At the same time, the layout of the rocket is optimized, due to which the fuel supply is increased, and a more economical dual-circuit turbojet engine is installed instead of the previous single-circuit one. The level of unification of the main elements of the UR AGM-158A and UR AGM-158B is estimated to be more than 80%.

None of the 500 riveted f-35s are in combat use due to the catastrophic non-compliance with contractual requirements and safety standards.

              On July 7, Lockheed Martin said it expected to reach an agreement with the U.S. Department of Defense on the supply of 160 F-35 fighter jets worth $ 15 billion in the near future.
              Lockheed’s F-35 Program Manager, Jeff Babione, told reporters that negotiations on the 9th and 10th shipments of aircraft are “very, very encouraging.” The price of one F-35A aircraft in the 10th installment will drop to less than $ 100 million.
              The company further stated that it continues to work to further reduce the price of one fighter to $ 85 million by 2019.

        You become read correctly.
        Exhaust radar visibility is a masterpiece.
        About these your conjectures in the article not a word. The exhaust is perfectly visible in the infrared range. In addition, when flying at high speeds as a result of air friction against the skin, it not only heats up (again, it is perfectly visible in the infrared spectrum), but also emits microwaves. In fact, even an active radar is not needed, the plane literally glows in the microwave range. Our people knew this back in the early 60s, and threw off this dummy mattress mattress who did not take these features into account and invested fucking billions in the stealth program. As a result, even the old air defense systems (C-125 in Yugoslavia) can very well see "unkillable American invisibles".
        “The question is not whose plane is more inconspicuous, but how much our planes are invisible to Russian radar stations operating in the UHF and VHF bands.”
        That's what they are afraid of. In general, both in space and aviation (F-35), we see that the US technological advantage in the world is slowly being blown away.

                What are the "indirect" signs of the air defense system? laughing

                Air defense radars are meter, decimeter and centimeter range. After the adoption of anti-aircraft missiles with an active radar seeker, the range of radar operation does not affect the capture of the target. Air defense radars detect and conduct the target, take the missile to the target area, and the missile is captured by the missile itself at a distance of 10-20 km - which is quite sufficient to detect the Penguin.

                And yes - you are mistaken, the Penguin's EPR is equal to 0,00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000005 sq.m.

                  another system. And if you are very lucky, the rocket will be 10 km from the target, where further on its own radar will conduct it itself.
                  EPR 0.005 is not a theoretical value from a laboratory or computer calculation, but

                    Any air defense radar gives the coordinates of the target with an accuracy of 0,5 km in the worst case (survey radar meter range). Given that the target capture distance of the active radar seeker of an anti-aircraft missile seeker is not less than 10 km.

      I understand that discussing the shortcomings of the F-35 is much more comfortable than their problems. For example, with the Indians. With the same MIG-29K / KUB and Vikramaditya. The Indians are very unhappy, but the Russian media is unlikely to translate this.
      There are still a number of problems with India's Russian-built Mikoyan MiG-29K / KUB aircraft, as well as with the aircraft carrier formerly known as Admiral Gorshkov that entered Indian Navy service in 2013, sources in India have told IHS Jane's.

      The complaints about the MiG-29K / KUB aircraft are generally due to the inability of the Russian firm RSK-MiG to deliver a complete aircraft that incorporates all of the features promised in the contractual documents signed by both parties.

      Indian experts who have visited the test base at Goa, where flight training with the aircraft is conducted, report that the MiG-29Ks are being delivered to India in a substandard configuration. The aircraft, said one specialist who visited the Goa base recently, "are literally being upgraded and brought up to spec while on the flightline".

      The chief culprit in this dilemma, say both Indian and Russian specialists, are the combined embargoes enacted by the Ukrainian government that bar the export of any military-use items to Russia, along with the EU and US sanctions that prohibit the export of Western military components to Moscow. The 'workaround' has been for India to import these items directly, then have them integrated onto the aircraft on-site at the Goa base.

      The MiG-29K for India differs from the MiG-29KR aircraft being built for the Russian Navy (VMF) in that the Indian-produced and foreign-made components are deleted in the configuration of the latter aircraft and replaced by Russian-made systems.

      The Russian-supplied carrier, which has been renamed INS Vikramaditya, is a re-built and modified Kiev-class cruiser that has been converted into a fully capable short take-off but arrested recovery (STOBAR) aircraft carrier by Russia's Sevmash shipyards.

      INS Vikramaditya has its own shortcomings in that it is still not fully equipped for carrier operations. "One of the items still lacking is a proper emergency landing barrier for other-than-normal landings aboard the ship," said one Indian specialist.

          Israel had an alternative under the same financial assistance.
          Three more American aircraft were to choose from: the latest versions
          F-16, F-15 and F-18. The Americans didn’t care what Israel chose - only
          if the plane was American.
          After careful checks, the F-35 was selected. The commission involved combat pilots,
          engineers of military firms, air defense officers. F-35 capabilities were demonstrated to the Israelis,
          including stealth when flying over air defense radars. Not theoretically, but practically.

          Alexander Viktorovich, dear, because the F-35 program is international in terms of financing. Simply put, the Americans for the development of this model have secured the guarantees of their acquisition by a number of countries. And at the same time, a co-financing program for this project was organized. And yes, I am surprised, but nevertheless, Israel is a participant in this program. hi

          It means using radio command guidance. But it in itself is not particularly accurate, and the further the greater the error. And susceptible to interference (and the farther the distance the greater).
          Meter waves have a low accuracy in determining the coordinates, this is a physical property of meter and further waves.
          That is why there are no "meter" guidance radars, only survey ones.
          About GOS missiles you are probably talking about
          argsn. They are not "not very powerful" ... they are poor compared to airplane or ground radars. Two main parameters of the radar. Size and power (although you still need to add sensitivity here), a radius of 5-10 centimeters, the power from a battery that could be crammed into the limited size of a rocket, etc.
          And now the rocket must independently select targets against the background of interference and false targets ....
          Probability of success?
          And this is not some secret. Therefore, the main s-400 radar, including anti-stealth, is 96L6E operating in the C-band (3,5-7,5 cm).

          Well, I'm writing about this. Radar 96L6E provides illumination and selection of targets.
          Additional IF sensors are rare because they are expensive, so most often I use one type of GOS.

    Some journalists from the yellow newspaper, clearly not related to the design agencies, said that they said the F35 wouldn’t fly and all that visible and all the patriots were immediately happy ... already sick of such articles. Have you seen the drawings and documentation? Do you understand it? Do the magazines understand it? I myself really hope that this plane will be the most disastrous in their entire past and present history, but it is short-sighted to believe such articles. I can also write that PAK FA is sawn from plywood and instead of a jet dvigl it has a toilet bowl of the Ukrainian production. Well, who will believe me, huh? And here already rejoicing full pants.

    TOR M2 is fully automated, it can itself control the designated airspace. A friend or foe system was used. This allows offline use to defeat targets. TOR M2 simultaneously recognizes 50 targets, identifies the most dangerous (by speed of approach), for example, cruise missiles, and after 7 seconds transmits target designation to the guidance station. For the accuracy of the guidance and target recognition system, the TOP M2 can rightly be called the best short-range air defense system in the world. The American F-35, presented as a fifth-generation fighter, is not an opponent for the TOP M5!

    At the same time, the expert points to a substantial, in his opinion, lack of aircraft: “The fighter has a single-engine engine that does not have any mechanisms for reducing the visibility of the exhaust.”

    "Single-engine engine" - cool said. These are the problems of an expert or a translator. If an expert, then this is really bad.

    With all the flaws, in general, a good plane from the Americans turned out, then to dissemble. It is one and a half times smaller in size than our T-50 and lighter, but the difference between the maximum take-off mass and the mass of the empty T-50 and F-35 is the same - 18500 kg! Yes, there is no cooling cover installed on the engine - the most thermal-visible element that the 22 th raptor has, but ours also has no engine cooling. A vertical takeoff and landing!

      All this was bought in Russia in 1992, along with the RD-180 engines, the main module of the ISS American segment, etc. Now they pasted it with the flags of their allies, extended the project to convert metric threads to inch by almost a quarter of a century, fool the audience and sip American money taxpayers.

            As the number of minuses is growing without a single plus, TASS is authorized to declare - officially in the Yakovlev Design Bureau, for only half a million dollars. Compared to the price of the toilet from Roskosmos, or the price of F-35 for one piece, this can not be considered a purchase at all. Look for the prices for rocket engines and the ISS module yourself.

      You in the comment about two different planes said F-35a and F35b. This is about how to talk about the SVD and AKM as a single unit. They also have a lot of similar details, however, they differ dramatically in functionality and appearance.

          Their missile defense continues to develop and the number of missiles is also increasing, today it is 900 missiles without selection of false targets, and tomorrow there are 2000 with selection capable of operating on ICBMs.

    What are the "indirect" signs of the air defense system? laughing

    Air defense radars are meter, decimeter and centimeter range. After the adoption of anti-aircraft missiles with an active radar seeker, the range of radar operation does not affect the capture of the target. Air defense radars detect and conduct the target, take the missile to the target area, and the missile is captured by the missile itself at a distance of 10-20 km - which is quite sufficient to detect the Penguin.

    And yes - you are mistaken, the Penguin's EPR is equal to 0,00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000005 sq.m.

    EPT, in the air defense, one "non-indirect" sign - Stop violation of the flight regime! To plant, to bring down the offender, further particular! This "sign", or rather the principle, if it was violated, it was because of the farts of the parquet generals!
    PS. By the way, about tsiferki and the process - not really nonsense, but close to that !!! if the cadet wrote, then you can not shoot, for now !!! laughing
