PAK-FA / Sukhoi Su-57 - Updates and Discussions

Thanks to the hard work and talent of our scientists, India has leap-frogged Russia as far as airborne AESA radars are concerned.

They are trying to skip GaN and go directly to photonics, while very soon we'll have GaN AESA radars too. In photonics too, our research is not that behind Russia. And we may even get a Photonics based AESA radar operational before Russia.
 
Russian SU-57 has an Air Defence System #shorts #military #su57

This is totally novel and smart. RF guided missiles are literally useless against VLO fighters. The real threat comes from missiles like ASRAAM and Mica-NG with IIR seekers. These missiles are extremely difficult to evade and can't be fooled by Flares. So how do you survive? By the use of DIRCM.

Very smart idea by Sukhoi to add it in Su-57's airframe.
 
The finishing looks good now.

New engine under testing.

A piece of information appeared in the Russian press about tests of a new version of the Su-57 multipurpose combat aircraft, which received a “sixth generation engine” with a flat nozzle with a variable thrust vector.

Meanwhile, for the flat-nozzle power plant, news publications cite a slide from the United Engine Corporation [UEC] presentation, which reports that under the “6th Generation Engine NTRP” not only is flat-nozzle development underway, but the creation of new high-performance bearings, “ceramic turbine” elements, advanced electrical systems. Also mentioned is the creation of a power plant with a three-circuit engine, which will allow a significant [up to 12.5%] improvement in subsonic effective fuel efficiency.

UEC gives another slide where the information is reported directly on the new nozzle: up to 90% of the nozzle parts are made by additive technologies [i.e. printed on a special 3D printer]. The following participate in the production cooperative under the project: ODK-UMPO OKB in the name of Lyulka, Salyut, ODK-Saturn, LMZ, NIID, TsAT, CNIITMASH.

This picture was PS by a boring Chinese person, but countless people were deceived🙃🙃🙃🙃😂😂😂😂
 
We need Su-57M/MKI to regain air dominance over PLAAF which MKI provided from 2002 to 2017. No getting away from this truth.
Since 2007, when China began mass production of the J10A.J11B, India has had no technological advantage over the PLAAF. India's greatest advantage was after the introduction of the Mirage 2000 and MIG29 in 1985, and until PLAAF introduction su27 in 1993

Yeah, everybody knows, even the writers of the article. People still put it up because it was done well.

Until now, su57 has not used serrated skin seams

It's unclear why. It will either come with Stage 2 airframes or the Russians have found some other way.

Su-30MKI would still destroy every single Chinese fighter today both in WVR and BVR sans J-20(in BVR). And I have said this before and say this again, we're upgrading it to counter J-20 in a 1 vs 1 head-on fight. Just wait and watch.

The testing of Su-57 with stealth nozzles has begun.

According to your idea, Indian Air Force should shoot down countless Pakistani aircraft in 2019, but the reality is just the opposite. After all, Indian Air Force has Su30MKI, second only to F22, while Pakistan only uses F16A and JF17
A lot of Indian media claim that they are behind Pakistan in BVR, which is ridiculous. N011M still cannot beat APG66 ,

PAF was on OCA while our Flankers were on Combat Patrol. The target of our Flankers was to defend against PAF F-16 formation and protect the army headquarters, which they successfully managed.

Yes in BVR. In WVR Su-30MKI has still no analogues in the world.

AIM-120C5 did give PAF advantage against IAF. But now everything is taken care of. Info regarding BARS is pure BS. There was a time when IAF was looking to equip MKI with Meteor, which is 300kms+ Ramjet BVR. That should tell you about performance of BARS.

I remember a news that an H4 Glide bomb hit the headquarters of a brigade in India

You think Su 30 can make a few beautiful moves at an air show, do you think it has good maneuverability?
Let's not say that the Su 27 itself is downwind from the F15 in the vertical aspect, while the Su 30 weighs up to 18400KG .This will result in its horizontal hovering ability also being at a disadvantage. Even if the canard layout is adopted, it will not help to increase the Lift coefficient by 0.2. Unless a new engine can be installed, the Su30MKI is the fourth generation aircraft with the worst maneuverability

The specific data of the N011M radar is available in official data from both Russia and India. Of course, you can continue to believe your fantasies, as for the meteor missile, there is no evidence

MKI is pretty strong even in vertical maneuverability. IAF disagree with you regarding its maneuverability. Rest, whatever floats your boat.

Radar is the most classified item on a fighter. Brochures only reveal generic info. If you take them as face value, then it's upto you.

In 2008, the United States has told you how poor the vertical maneuverability of the Su-30 is. To be honest, except for the high angle of attack, the Su-30 is inferior to J11B. The instantaneous turn ability depends on the wing load, while the weight increases, the wing load increases, and the instantaneous turn ability decreases. The stable turn ability depends on T/W and Lift-to-drag ratio. Although the canard brings an increase in lift, the 2 ton weight offsets this ability.
Not to mention that with the upgrade of J11BG, a large number of J11B have been replaced with WS10B, which further increases mobility

Wrong. Col. Terrence Fornof said that if you use TVC at wrong time, you could sink and lose the vertical advantage.

J11B? LMAO. Su-30MKI is superior to it in every which way. ITR, STR, High Alpha, just name it. Su-30MKI has Thrust to Weight ratio of over 1, so its climb rate is also very good.

This is what a real Indian pilot says about MKI:

What is the best thing about it?
Ans. As a fighter pilot, you look to emerge victorious in every battle; the Su-30 gives you that confidence. Rest is up to you!


How you rate the Su-30 in the following categories?

“A. Instantaneous turn– at high speeds, a shade slow, but once you get her to 650-709 Kmph- as goos as any. With thrust vectoring- unparalleled!

B. Sustained turn– depends upon the load and altitude. At medium altitudes with AA loads only very good and matches any other 4/5 gen fighter ac.

C. High alpha- Exceptional! Requires skill but once you know what to do- she’s a beauty!

Talking about dogfights, one MKI took down 2 Eurofighters at once. Chinese should be scared of it. Period.
