The older radar mentioned in the brochure whose range is taken as the base over which 30~33% increase in range was claimed is the APG-68(V)7 radar which has a range of 80km for 5m2 target(v8 radar is an export variant of v7 and has no range increase). Do note that the 105km for 5m2 for APG-68v9...

Had blocked third party images. So didn't see the pics before. Much thanks for the interview. Have already seen the KLJ-7 brochure from the blog. Yea, they do, don't they. However there are exceptions, like Zaslon-M which quotes even 15m2 RCS and APG-66v2 which quotes 6. In any case, it is...

Fighter sized targets is vague. MiG-21 is a fighter, so is the Su-30. It would be helpful if RCS figures accompanied the ranges. Is there a link to the interview?

Dude, do you seriously think - KLJ-7 which is a smaller radar(due to smaller nose cone of JF-17) than F-16's Block 52, has the same range as it? If that range is for the J-10's KLJ-10 radar then it would be more believable. The Radar on Block 52 the APG-68(V)9, is the latest and the greatest...

I can give you radar detection ranges & number in active duty. Su-30MKI ~ 150 Radar Range - Confidential because the transmitter power is confidential. However some open source material indicates it's range between 140km-170km for 5m2 Target MiG-29B ~ 51 Radar Range - 79.5km for 5m2 Target...

Those sailors should take precautions and always remember that those are 'made in china' ports. One or 2 piers may collapse without any moments notice.

Mirage-2000 is underpowered when compared to a Power House like the MiG-29, which is currently the plane with the highest Thrust to Weight ratio in the IAF inventory. Also with the known maneuverability of the MiG-29, i'd give the MiG hands down in WVR fights. In BVR, Magic is lesser ranged than...

Dude, it's a 3 year old thread!

What the hell? Instead of buying from Vympel we are going for Ukrainian versions? Something doesn't feel right. Also is the fact that the deal is worth not even $1 million. "Nezavisimaya Gazeta says the deal for R-27 missiles, worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, is in the final stages and is...

lol.. none of my stuff are chinese junks. And besides, chinese didn't invent them, they just make them because chinese people are used as slaves by foreign corporations. Paying slave wages is good for the companies profits and hence they flock to slave land to get some slaves. Way to go china...

Junk-10 lost against MiG-29 in Myanmar, even after Myanmar is pro-chinese and is in China's backyard, even after Chinese offered bribes, extremely relaxed payment conditions and loans. That tells a lot about that plane. China's J-10 suffered its first overseas defeat to the Mig-29 Fulcrum Now...

These kind of stupid stories gets published in women's magazines most of the time... when the stupid women read it they go "awwww".

Haven't you heard about pilots just visually inspecting their aircraft before take-off? I guess they are geniuses as well. Besides Chinese crap can be easily spotted by visually identification- Chinese junks

Bwahahahahaha! And twins? The last thing this country needs is more people.

^ Why stop with that? Lets also buy Tie bombers and a couple Scimitar bombers as well.

What do you mean twice the payload? Rafale can carry as much payload as its entire body weight, only fighter to do so! It can carry 9500kgs of Payload, while the Su-34 can only manage 8000kgs, same as Su-30MKI. The main reason why the Russians are getting Su-34 is because it is dirt cheap, and...

For an average Airforce yes, but F-22 was not designed for an average airforce alone. Russia and China are also in the equation while designing it. The problem is RCS of F-22 is classified. Even the much publicized "marble" is still not reliable enough because it doesn't give the radar bands...

Jobs? The RFPs are submitted by USAF, not Lockheed Martin. It is the USAF which wanted a Gun in there. Saying F-22 will run away from its important mission, if a WVR confrontation occurs, does not make sense. In a war, there will be High value Assets and Targets which are more important than...

hmm.. wars are about achieving Strategic & Political objectives, not about kill count of enemy planes. The pilots don't decide where they want to fight or not, they simply follow orders to complete the mission. I don't think any pilot can simply abandon, for instance, the slow bomber he is...

The opponents in those wars were mostly flying antiquated fighters which didn't even have a decent radar, let alone Jamming & other sophisticated decoys. I don't think those wars can be considered GOOD examples. Wonder what would have happened if the opponents were formidable, like for example...
