LoooSeR Posted June 18, 2021 Report Share Posted June 18, 2021 Air-to-ground missile launches exercise in Western Military district. Quote The pilots of the Western Military District demonstrated the launches of guided aircraft missiles in the Krasnodar Territory. The crews of the Su-30SM, Su-34 and Su-35, after reconnaissance in force, hit ground targets that imitated a convoy of armored vehicles, aviation and fortified command posts of a conditional enemy with air-to-surface guided high-precision missiles at a distance of up to 2 km. The missiles were guided by the contrast image obtained by the television camera in the conditions of working hostile air defense systems. An autonomous search for these targets was carried out by a homing head installed on the rocket, and the launch itself is performed only after the pilot confirms the operation. In total, more than 15 launches were carried out during the departure. 2 km range for AT missile launch from a plane is kind of sad, if what is written is true.

terry88 Posted June 23, 2021 Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 I've read that Russia is going to build a station on the surface of the Moon with China. What do you think about that point? Do you think that really possible at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mig has access to Sukhoi´s research and installations and vice versa. If this plane is any good and is offered at a good price it will do very well in the export market as its only competitor is the F-35. 1 minute ago, Beer said: It won't take less than ten-fifteen years before it will be operational. Depends on how many stuff it borrows from Su-57. For example, if its meant to share the same Izdelie 30 engine, then a big chunk of development work will be finalized before this Mig comes off production lines.

Picts unrelated to actual craft , in any case no 5gen project in the world follows F35 or X-35 for good reason as first of these are designed to peculiar specification for a medium altitude medium speed bomb truck that has to also be made to serve in 3 widely differing configurations while using same fat air frame and massive engine to make VTOL work. Every one else is developing a fighter with some ground attack capability and no Vtol configuration. So current designs Chinese, Korean,Japanese,Brit are far more along the lines of F22 than anything else . If this is using same engine as Su57 this is be the smallest and lightest of the 5th gen offerings much smaller than f35 the X-32 chin inlet is quite specific to the positioning of the engine right behind the pilot due to harrier like Vtol configuration , if Russian model has a chin intake you can bet 100% its for different reasons .Looking at the actual picts not the unrelated fan renders or model photos it doesn't seem to have an x-32 like intake. it also looks like it doesn't have any horizontal tail (altough these could be just unmounted to further confuse the observers) Design configuration seems quite unique . alanch90 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanch90 Posted July 18, 2021 Report Share Posted July 18, 2021 Ok its not a MiG but a Sukhoi. Su-75 apparently.
