We always have threads about F-22 and F-35 and jack off about how great they are. So let's change it up a bit and have one for the underdog.

>b-but muh slavshit
Wonderful. You really should make a F-22/F-35 wank thread for that.

No, that's true. Look what it does with the current engines though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h08AxiE2HwU (ignore the "WORLDS MOST ADVANCED STEALTH" it's more autistic than people suggesting turboprops to replace the F-35)

Rough position of the engines. As you can see the intake is angled inward towards the body, while the exhaust is very widely spaced and lifted slightly.

This is for four reasons:
1. It hides the fan blades.
2. It improves single engine performance
3. It allows a space in the "tail" for a tiny sixth radar system, in the RWR role.
4. It allows a space in the tail for a drag parachute, needed because of Russian climate.

>>22801257
The fuselage provides substantial lift, that's why the takeoff run is so short, about 900 feet.
With it's TVC engines in, that will drop by another 200 feet and it will be able to operate in CESTOL role.

PAKFA IRST can target aircraft tail on at 90km, and head on at 50km. Western systems are even better.

Why would they even need L-band specifically?
To know if something's there. Like putting noise traps on your property, if there's noise there might be something there.

That's against targets that don't have IR reducing measures, which modern stealth fighters have.

BVR IFF actually makes a ton of sense, given that one of the biggest problems with BVR is being sure that what you are shooting at is an enemy.

>To know if something's there. Like putting noise traps on your property, if there's noise there might be something there.
But in all likelihood they won't be for finding targets.
>>
>>22801543
Do you not realize that BWR radar detection ranges are several hundreds of kilometers.

And i guess you'll just ground the fleet if there are clouds or it rains.
>>
>>22801591
It's more about catching enemy radar signals outside of the own range, so the x-band radar can send a narrow beam to the radar source.
>>
>>22801660
I stand by my statement.
>>
>>22801574
F-22 may have IR reducing measures which bring the tail on detection to something lower than 90km, but F-35 doesn't.

Also either way just moving through air generates enough heat for them to be seen at 50km, so the point is moot.
This is not the same as "posting a normal visible wavelength picture to claim that stealth is outdated."

>>22801620
BVR not BWR
And it's hundreds of kilometers for bomber sized targets. Look up F-15 detection ranges for onboard radar.

The only way you get "hundreds of kilometers" against fighter sized targets is with AWACS. The E-3, which is one of the most powerful AWACS in the world, can detect a basic Flanker model at 267km, a modernized Flanker using composites and RCS reduction measures is well below that.

For actualy finding and targetting enemies, that is what the main X-band AESA array and the OLS station is for.

>>22801520

>Why would they need it to be AESA for that?

AESA arrays have a low probability of intercept by design as each TR module sends out its own signal on a subfrequency of L/X/ku/S-bands. The enemy RWR doesnt know that there is a L-band radar active and if you configure an IFF message with a set of pre-determined signals on various subfrequencies, a friendly fighter with L-band array's can tune in and receive the message and knows that a friendly fighter is out there BVR.

>Why would it be pointing forward?

That is where the fighter is headed and has its missiles and main sensors pointed at that direction (OLS, main X-band AESA array etc.).

>Why would they need two of them for that?

So that they can cover a broader part of the sky. Just look at how the wings are swept back in relation of the fuselage and the typical range ESA's can cover (in degree's left of right).

>Why would they even need L-band specifically?

Its a longwave. Good for low power, long range messages.
>>
>>22801660
A little bit like the AN/ALR-94 of the F-22.

>That is where the fighter is headed and has its missiles and main sensors pointed at that direction (OLS, main X-band AESA array etc.).
Yes but it would only work if the other guy was facing you....
>>
>>22801756
That's the problem of all fighter radars.
>>
>>22801683
You're still not making sense with your argument.
You can see IR up to 50km. Therefore stealth is useless and you might as well be visible to 150km in radar.
>>

>>22801520
>Why would they even need L-band specifically?
>All current stealth aircraft were designed to counter X-Band radars, but those shapes are getting ineffective if a radar operates in S-band and even more ineffective when the radar operates in L-band. The reason for the stealth aircraft to be detected is the wavelength of the radar, a radar operating in L-band produces wavelengths with comparable size to the aircraft itself and should exhibit scattering in the resonance region rather than the optical region, so that most of the existing stealth aircraft will turn from invisible, to visible.
>>
>>22801781
That's because virtually all "BVR" fights take place at around 50km or less...

There is no reliable way to identify an aircraft at beyond that range.

The fact that some of the heat can be siphoned away from the exhaust.

And it would be better to talk about frontally, seeing as that is what actually matters. That brings the OLS-35 down to 50km against unstealthed targets. Let's say its only brought down by 10km. That's a 40km range, fairly respectable, right?

Well, that's where you're wrong, because the OLS-35 can not look everywhere at once. I've heard normal IRST as like "looking through a straw". The OLS has a FOV of 10 x 7.5 degrees.

> Let's say its only brought down by 10km.
Frontal aspect detection can't be brought down since it's based on the friction an aircraft makes as it's passing through air. It's 50km for F-22, F-35, and everything in that size range.

>>
The PAK FA is a massive disappointment IMO.

>Radar

The cheek arrays are kinda cool, as is the L Band, but N036-1-01 seems mediocre. It can detect the Su-30MKI at 310km. Based on the estimate that the Su-35S has about a 1m^2 RCS, and the fact that t's supposed to be about 1/11th the RCS of the 30MKI, we can guess N036-1-01 can target a 11m^2 target at 310km. This means it should get around 170km against a 1m^2 target. This is substantially inferior to American claims about APG-77 and APG-81 of "greater than 250km". Using the 0.0001m^2 number for the F-22's RCS, it detects the F-22 at 17km, and the F-35 at 30km. Still gets a massive 224km-254km against loaded Super Hornets, Typhoons and Rafales, but those aren't as important as the American 5th gens. Even if these are the TORs instead of max ranges, this just isn't too impressive.

While the N036B-1-01 cheek arrays are kinda cool, they almost certainly have a very short range since they have only 23% the aperture size of the main array (39km against a 1m^2 target, so around 7km against the F-35, 4 km for the F-22, and 21km for the 4.5's), so they'll likely need to be used at very close ranges, maybe for off-boresight shots, but it's not a game changer.

N036L-1-01 can't be used for targeting, but it does reliably provide warning and detection in front of the aircraft, which is nice. If all things but band are the same as the main array, it'll have 3 times the detection range of an x-band radar with equal size. That's pretty cool, but it still can't be used to target
>>
>>22805253
>RWR and ECM
As for the L402 Himalayas ECM suite, it seems like it's a Russian AN/ALR-56+AN/ALQ-184 equivalent, or like the RF portion of the SPECTRA suite. It only has 3 arrays including N036, so it's almost certainly not going to give targeting data like AN/ALR-94 (9 arrays) or AN/ASQ-239 (11). We know it doesn't have RF decoys available, and we don't know about the jammer, but all and all it seems like a 4th generation western EW suite.

>IRST
We don't really know too much about OLS-50M, but it seems likely to be comparable to the OLS-35 that reached IOC in 2009. The OLS-35 has a range of 50km from the front, 90km from the back. The 50 km number is comparable to old claims about the F-14's AN/AAS-42 IRST, which is likely inferior to modern western systems like PIRATE and EOTS. This is of course before we discuss the fact that tracking range is probably around only 40% of detection range (~20km).

>MAWS
While 101KS-U doesn't have anything inherently wrong with it, it does use UV light which attenuates more quickly than the IR light used by AN/AAQ-37 and AAR-56. Also no IRST functionality.

>Stealth
Patents for the PAK FA claim the RCS has "average figure of 0.1-1 m^2" That's 100 times greater than the F-35, 1000 times greater than the F-22, and the same as the Gripen, Rafale, and Eurofighter clean. Obviously the PAK FA has an advantage against the Eurocanards because it actually goes into combat clean, but it's still disappointing.

>101KS-O
I gotta be honest, I don't know a damn thing about this thing. But even if it made the PAK FA totally immune to IR missiles, it doesn't seem like it would be sufficient

>Engines
Where the fuck is Izdeliye 30? It seems more and more every day this thing's gonna be stuck with AL-41F1, which only give is a t/w on the order of the F-15/16.

Anyway, that's my two cents.

>>22805253
>This is substantially inferior to American claims about APG-77 and APG-81 of "greater than 250km"
Psst they weren't talking about fighter sized targets either. APG-81 has a detection range ov 160km for 1m2 sized target.

Also your calculation seems a bit fucked, PAKFA has a detection range of 350 km against a 2.5m2 rcs target, where did you get the Su-30MKI value?
PAKFA forward radar has 1536 modules, F-35 forward radar has 1200. So PAKFA should be able to see 1m2 targets farther out than 160km, not even counting what L-band brings to the table.

Fix your values, then come back.

Let's address how dumb this sentence is. First of all, you're factually wrong. AN/APG-81 has 1,368 T/R modules. I've counted. second of all, your focus on aperture size completely neglects all other factors, which is hilarious considering we're talking about actively scanned phased array radars.

Here's a basic explanation of phased array radar

Tell me if you're still confused as to why aperture size isn't the be-all end-all of detection range

Heres a simulation (not the real radar) detecting targets at 150km

>I've counted.
Still kind of proves my point at being less, autismo.

APG-77 peaks at 12kW, if APG-81 uses similar T/R modules it would peak at 8kW.
N036 frontal peaks at 15kW (less the L-band at 4.8kW) assuming 10W rated modules similar to Zhuk AE.

So in terms of power, number of T/R modules, and size it is superior to F-35. How exactly is F-35 getting better range? Something is wrong with your calculations period, or you are taking Lockheed at their word which is the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

>UN forces named the Po-2's nighttime appearance Bedcheck Charlie and had great difficulty in shooting it down — even though night fighters had radar as standard equipment in the 1950s, the wood-and-fabric-construction of the Po-2 gave only a minimal radar echo, making it hard for an opposing fighter pilot to acquire his target. As Korean war U.S. veteran Leo Fournier remarks about "Bedcheck Charlie" in his memoirs later on: "... no one could get at him. He just flew too low and too slow." On 16 June 1953, a USMC AD-4 from VMC-1 piloted by Major George H. Linnemeier and CWO Vernon S. Kramer shot down a Soviet-built Polikarpov Po-2 biplane, the only documented Skyraider air victory of the war. One Lockheed F-94 Starfire was lost while slowing to 110 mph during an intercept of a Po-2 biplane.

Because that clearly was a test of range and not of search pattern, right? That's why they used a simulated radar.

>APG-77 peaks at 12kW, if APG-81 uses similar T/R modules it would peak at 8kW.
Are you trying to linearly scale power by number of T/R modules?
You do know power comes from the exciter and that LPI radars aren't going to rail their T/R modules, right? EMCON is a thing

>So in terms of power, number of T/R modules, and size it is superior to F-35.

Number of T/R modules and aperture size are the same thing here. The factors we haven't gone over are

>Gain (Physical)
>Geometry (Physical but software limited)
>Noise reduction (Physical)
>Drain power (Physical)
>Amplitude control (software)
>Phase control (software)

Amplitude control and phase control are by far the most important factors here, they're the entire reason we use phased arrays over dish antennae. That's why software has had such a huge emphasis for the past 20 years.

Yes, no one's going to fucking rail their T/R modules for an LPI radar. How are you not grasping this concept.

>But now I called you retarded so we don't have to address the fact that nothing I've been saying makes sense, and I still haven't produced any of my NIIP sources

And 4.5 generation designation is given not by the year it is produced, but by its avionics and capabilities.

J-10B has a multirole AESA radar, EOS, integrated EW systems, full glass cockpit, holographic HUD and is currently powered by the uprated AL-31FN-M1 engine giving it good T/W ratio.

Why the fuck does everyone still think BVR is relevant?

When you have well over 30 seconds warning of an incoming missile, it's never going to hit you. This goes for Americans and Russians. Especially with stealth planes with fuck all RCS.

I honestly think the F-35 is in for a shock when it inevitably ends up dogfighting the T-50, and finds it can't maneuver as well, can't aim its missiles as well - if it even has any short range ones at the time - and can't dance around thrust vectoring for gun kills.

I really hope the F-35 only ends up needing to bomb defenseless sandniggers.

It would be the Eastern Front all over again but this time are the T-50s the Bf109s and the F-35s are the poor IL-2 aircraft.

kek no.

The F-35 shouldn't use EODAS but I'm sure the PAK FA should use it's shitty IRST shouldn't it?

If you think IRST has never been used for A2A, it's been used since Gen 2 fag.

Don't you have a Putin poster to worship? It's Sunday

He didn't say anything wrong, though.

I've talked to guys that mattered in the air force industry and they agree that the plane is a useless endeavor by the Russians, they should just make it a technological demonstrator and just use the research for drones.

They should up their missile units instead and if they really need a bird in the air, it should be an interceptor like the upcoming MiG-41.

>>22814939
>>EODAS can't be used for A2A

Was never said. It's just an inferior system, small leses, low resolution etc, compared to dedicated IRST systems like the future 101KS-V of the T-50 or PIRATE of the Eurofighter.

>>AIM-9x block II only can engage targets at 90 degree angles

90 degrees off boresight - it's fact.

They tracked tankfire from the air, and icbms from a 1000 kilometers away

You know jack shit.

Each sensor is comparable to the one used in the SNIPER pods which uses a 640x512 FLIR sensor.

Since they're stationary more lenses can be used, giving it better magnification.

>now you're saying EODAS isn't a dedicated IRST system

wow you have no idea what you're talking about

>90 degrees off boresight

lol no, you can send it to a known location and the sensor will pick up the rest.

How else would it work in an enclosed missile bay? It gets it's information after launch.
>>
>>22814965
>US engineering can breaks the laws of physics

EODAS was designed as advanced MAW system with additional situational awareness capacities.
While dedicated IRST systems scan a small area like sniper optics.

It's like comparing apples to oranges.

The Sniper pod doesn't even provide any IRST capacities.

I like how they call it "Situational awareness IRST".

Yeah, you don't know what IRST means.

>>22815033
What infrared search and track?

What's it doing when you're TRACKING targets or SEARCHING for them in the air or on the ground.

>>22815027
>still can't be used to search and track targets in the air for decent BVR distances.

Not saying it's on par with Pirate, we don't know that much. But it can more than do the job
