ZA-HVM - Technical data and Discussion

V.I.P. [image] History The development of ZA-HVM, along with ZA-35, started in 1983. The main SPAAs of South Africa then were Ystervark and Cactus. While these systems were doing their jobs just fine, they were starting to show their age in comparison with systems used by other countries and the aircraft they were supposed to counter. That resulted in a competition where multiple foreign systems were studied, but South Africa decided not to buy someone else’s system and decided to make its ow…

is Kfir C.10 (Block 60) Colombian? And does it have AESA? Does J-10B have AESA?

[AWACS Ghost Eye]

They will get the Finnish MiG-29 which totally exists

[Freez3rBurn]

I wonder why the Kfir Block 60 is on the list if this is the case

[ExecutivOutcomes]

remember leak lists are not every addition

[Fireraid233]

Oh yeah look at that an AESA aircraft IS coming

[ExecutivOutcomes]

is J10-B also AESA?

[RayLeight]

Yes

[hienapunk]

I hope more is coming cuz right now im feeling

[WreckingAres283]

Unknown PESA iirc, late J-10A(H)s and J-10C got AESA.

[AWACS Ghost Eye]

As I talked before this is possibly the tier 8 premium. The F-20, BISON, JA37DI are all upgraded legacy airframes with fox3 capabilities, so is the kfir blk60/C.10.

[Freez3rBurn]

I guess it’s lack of CM and missiles balance it out, however I’m not entirely informed on what it’s equipped with besides what missiles it would probably get, also it’s possible that this could still not balance it

[ExecutivOutcomes]

ok the lack of F-2A is confusing, maybe it just wasn’t leaked copium

[CreepinCreepy]

Not true, the Trophy on the Namer IFV is turret mounted

[EnglishTeaKett1e]

J-10B is using a PESA radar. It was not widely adopted because J-10C with AESA was ready much sooner than originally thought.
