KS-172 missile
yeah, that one’s just an awacs killer
But given the fact that the tech it would have also improved. I’ve seen a load of papers on these material side of things, coming close to non classified western stuff. Obviously application is a different thing but at least we know they are better than what they were a few years back.
F100-PW-220 level?
what’s the MTBO of the PW-220?
the EP is real ?
Just material. Not actual engines.
But PW220 is definitely not where they’re at.
very real and very much in service
Yeah, just Passive radar homing
PW100 then?
This post was flagged by the community and is temporarily hidden.
it says 4000 cycles for hot sections and 8000 for cold on the PW-220
how many hours is a cycle? 1, 5, 50?
i have no idea, thats just what it says
np, thx nontheless
maybe with this you can convert cycles to flight hours through years, scrolled a little farther through the report
damm where did u find these pics ? so far i have only seen the pic with the su34 but some people were saying it was for display.
A Ukrainian pilot posted that picture on his Instagram
To me the missile on the outer wing pylon seems more interesting tho
r73 with r60 seeker?
What? turbo prop?
Given they copied CFM56 for a start 20 odd years ago, it wouldn’t be a good assumption that they went backwards.
IDK tbh where they are RN but rumours of original WS15 which was scrubbed was something along the lines of slightly better than F110-132 but it was abandoned since even WS 10 based off CFM56 got close to that figure, meaning it was literally not worth it.
Service life wise IDK but material is partially there at least from scientific perspective.
