ignoring zoom
the image is zoomed in the su35 is even further away
you guys cant read, can you?
the 5km is ignoring the zoom of the camera
with the sensor resolution we could correct the image but I doubt we’ll ever get that
Higher resolution, better detection and tracking, higher resitance to jamming / better jamming capabilities…
Bro is comparing WW2 radar to end of cold war

Yes im sure 1940s era radar types, which were all still in their infancy, is THE concret proof of why 1990s and later mechanical radars are somehow better. Its not like technology has advanced tremendously since then.

I mean even then I don’t see how it makes it good. Wow, it can see a plane from more than 5km

on these pics it can be even just 5km. maybe more, but who knows
The F-22 was built with not only a reduced RCS, but also a reduced IR signature in mind as well, so being picked up by an IRST is something, especially if the image was zoomed in (so the F-22 was actually further away than 5km).
Define resolution
→ the detection range of AESA Radars drops with angle, the maximum range of an AESA radar can only be accomplished by Removing the only advantage it has and focusing all Beams in the same direction
→ TWS with an AESA radar is only better at short ranges because the actual Power that the tracking Beams have shrinks with the number of beams, and if we use just one beam then the scanning speed is identical to that of a modern Mechanical Radar
all measures for Jamming resistance ane Jamming capabilities applied by AESA Radars (Frequency hopping, continuously decreasing power of the locking beam etc.) can be Applied by Mechanical radars too
thats identification range and not detection range
this is its detection range:
bro doesn’t even know how ancient the idea of an Array radar is
detection range → the Machine can Identify that there is something at this point under optimal circumstances → one distinct Pixel
F-22 IR stealth only really helps farther out. If it’s more than 5km, I’m going to be generous and say 10, it’s still not very far
i have yet to see any numbers for the f-14
and he can tell us anything he wants without us being able to check the information
the antenna type, the principle behind it hasn’t changed
the advantages of mechanically focused and steered radars over timing based focused Array radars are still there and undisputed today
those are → Vastly Increased Range with the same Output Power and an Equal detection range at all angles
That’s why I @ MikeyPlayz, he knows a lot of tomcat stuff
not stated about target altitude. but 35km for quite large and hot aircraft - sounds bad.

it sounds like your average open for Public sales IR device
likely an imported one
