Yes… Very good.
I must have missed it, you have a reliable source for this information?
The last I read into it, the N019 Topaz / Rubin were completely separate developments of the Zhuk series.

If you read it, show it to me. what is absolutely different about it?
Or at least explain in your own words. Surely you can do that right?
You’re asking me to explain the differences between two entirely different series of air to air radar? This is almost like asking someone to describe the differences between AWG-9 and APG-71. Surely both are mounted on the F-14 at some point… they must have lineage…
Lol he gives me an example of a radar that is a derivative of the AWG9.
So, if there is lineage… that means the NO10M is a derivative of the NO19…
Yes, it’s a great example. Most (if not all) parts are replaced, it is no longer an AWG-9. Ship of Theseus comes to mind. Shares 85% commonality with APG-70.
Regarding N019 and N010, same company built both… of course they will be similar in design albeit totally incompatible with each other parts wise on the other hand of things.
An aircraft comparison would be MiG-23 vs MiG-29… MLD shares some features from MiG-29 9-12, does not mean the 9-12 has direct lineage aside manufacturer and shares few parts.
You are not getting away that easy. Are you saying the Soviets made these two radars completely incompatible with parts though they are for the same Jet? Though one is a derivative of the other? Facinating
When literally almost all aircraft share same parts to some degree or the other. It is literally soviet doctrine not to over complicate weapon systems.
Not a single part is compatible one with the other? Please source that.
You just do not like to concede on anything. I am not going to do the mental gymnastics it’s too exhausting. Stop please.
I will compile what I can about what was exactly shared by Adolf Tolkachev tomorrow and add or retract conclusions if they come. GN.
Yes, the two radars are not derivative of each other. They are simply made using similar technologies.
If you’d read the book presented to you instead of making assumptions of things I did not say…
Seems some variants of N019 and N001 coincided with shared parts between MiG-29 and Su-27
Then later, N010 and N011 the same… simplifies logistics. No mention of connection between N019 and N010 and the parts look nothing alike.
You could also just do a quick google search and find out quite a lot about both of these radars as it seems as well, but you are making all these opinions based on what seems like zero research…

One is newer and more compact.
Hey do you remember the part where I said the Soviets addressed all the issues with the N019 in the SMT lol.
You thought I said they had the same radar! Now you are arguing semantics. Bro go to sleep. GN
You are even going so far to declare not a single piece is common amongst the two with pictures?! lol you do not know this. None of us do.
Regardless it’s still a derivative of the original NO19 like you just conceded. “There must be lineage.”
Please stop. GN.
They will just add the Su-27 then, it is probably coming in November or December

Unfounded opinion. The compromised radar was not necessarily a development of the MiG-23 radar as the MiG-23’s is not a fully coherent pulse doppler, the MiG-29s is by all means a proper pulse doppler and not “MTI” based radar. Where the MiG-23 had a sort of pseudo CW emissions device, the MiG-29 did not.
Here is the MiG-23 radar with the CWI emissions device visible.

Unfounded opinion (issues with original radar were not overcome, radar was entirely replaced). As shown above, the Zhuk series is not the same as the N019 Rubin (modified shortly after the Spy released information on the radar to “Topaz” variant). This improved ECCM and prevented concerns about their radar being completely worthless, never the less they sought a radar set that met their needs.
Unfounded opinion, you didn’t even bother to ask me. How could you know what I know? You’ve stated many many many inaccurate things, I could not be bothered to correct them until now…
Unfounded opinion, They made the N010M and other sets.
Completely wrong opinion in case of their MiG-29 series radars… they were the only company making radars for MiG-29, how could their dedicated radars for MiG-29 not fit?
Again, the N019 is not the same as the MiG-23’s radar. It just used a similar type of antenna. The two operate on very different principles.
TL;DR Sapfir is not Rubin or Topaz, and Topaz is not Zhuk. They are all different series of radars, the Rubin used a twist-cassegrain antenna, that does not make it a derivative of the Sapfir. The Zhuk is similarly, not a Topaz derivative. They are all their own radars… GN

this is getting weird.
ok, you are right. They are completely new designs. You are right, there is not a single piece of that radar that is compatible one with the other because that would make it a derivative. Mmhmm sure. I have no idea how you would know that, but ok sure.
Also, I do not remember, but I must of said somewhere the NO19 was in the SMT (never did).
You happy? Are you done?
We still need to improve the SMT FM because if they leave it the Su27 is going to be just as bad. I am not too worried though. We will have a better idea this week where GJ is going with this mig29 model.
Oh boy, this topic is getting interesting with every new post…

gaijin will not F up their flagship new LARGE 4th gen fighter, mig-29 and f-16 are small fighters, the SU-27 is a big deal, they will advertise it everywhere

İn a favor of F-15 they might just do that.
You are right. But the SMT is a very big deal as well.
It is so frustrating not being able to roll or pitch out of the way on an oncoming sparrow that any fighter can do better than the SMT. Even the Tornado.
Even the ASA has more response to pitch.
Yeah we can see how much GAIJIN cared about SMT with it’s still not fixed garbage FM , SPO-15, and still lacking 56 large caliber countermeasures
Well, I am giving them this week. Mig said we should see some pitch etc. However, I do not think it will solve the whole problem because poor recovery and acceleration. I keep forgetting that SMT or not. This Jet is a very high thrust to weight.
Higher than the Su27 and it should be able to toss around. I do not believe we are feeling to true thrust of the jet imo.
Adding the alpha and nose authority will be highly appreciated. But without the thrust to recover we are going to dump more speed in dogfights with every input and with little chance of recovery and find ourselves sitting ducks.
I believe the Su27 is coming before the F15. Because we still have the F14 that is held back in radar performance and still have not modeled the aim7M or aim54C. They are going to have to give its performance eventually. I think they are waiting for the Su27 for that. Another reason they may give us the Su27 first is that they buffed all F16s. So, the sheer number of F16s, F14s and new inanely good F15s would be overwhelming.
To give the F15 alongside the su27 would actually put the Soviet/Federation tech tree at a huge disadvantage (I never say that lightly). It is a bigger jet, a huge jet actually and a F15 being supported by hordes of F16s is not something I want to deal with especially if the SMT is in this state.
But that’s just my speculation.
