R-77M might have AESA radar, the thing is it will still depend on Main radar until terminal phase which will essentially make it useless if your main radar cant see the enemy.
It is that bad, as far as I know USA tends to suffer against European Delta canards on trainings quite a lot due to European’s superior EW suites, not to mention both Dassault and Saab making brand new Ew Suites and planning to deploy soon.
i never had a decent discussion on discord about anything aircraft related.
until very recently all USAF F-15’s were using TEWS with roots in the 80’s which isnt AESA or even PESA afaik, and many of these training victories were likely against fighters that had not received modernization
everything points to it being a tvc missiles so far. but we cant really say either way
I’m not just talking about Eagles, I’m talking about Raptor as well.
A plane that was designed for air superiority with much more sophisticated radar, flight system and Ew suite also suffered from same issue.
What makes you think a PESA radar has a chance against the combination of AESA+EW suite?
when was this?
i doubt it, tail control is proven to have solid turning performance
its dual pulse so tail control cant be used alone right? also for very high altitude perfomance tvc is preferable no?
how does dual pulse stop you from using tail only control?
i dont think the motor would even burn long enough for it to be worth the complexity and added weight
it doesnt but wouldnt the tiny control surfaces be very limited at the altitudes dual pulse missiles loft to?
its going fast enough to make up for it, ASRAAM and CAMM are able to perform well with small controls
ASRAAM and CAMM are still relatively short range systems though, they arent meant for those very long ranges the aim260 is targetting.
TVC on a rocket propelled missile would be detrimental for long range because its advantage is only in short ranges and its pretty much dead weight as soon as the motor burns out
Western EW suites weren’t tested against Russian radars iirc. All of this is on paper.
I think he refers to the Rafale trials of Egypt, where SPECTRA jammed IRBIS.
Were there any details about the trials? Because just saying X jammed Y without context is stupidly vague
You got a source for that?
Declassified results? Very much doubt so, all I’ve read was 2 different articles saying pretty much X jammed Y, and justifying it by saying “egypt left the Su35 deal after that”, but that’s a poor reason, leaving might as well have been just due to US sanctions.
Maybe Panrher got some other sources to back up his claim, but tbh finfing stuff about these jamming systems (concrete data) is not a walk in the park.
This is my thoughts as well, there’s plenty of nuances when it comes to radar operation and EW, if media just says X jammed Y it is most likely just water. I wouldn’t be surprised if SPECTRA jammed Irbis in specific operation mode and thats about it
I mean that’s pretty much the only information you will get when it comes to EW suites.
We both know these systems are highly classified and will not gonna find single information about their specs anywhere.
