HAL testing IRST for LCA Mk2

The IRST can slew other sensors and get slewed by other sensors. This feature is important for tracking Stealth targets

If IRST pick anything it can slew radar and stare to the direction where it want , both IRST & Radar paints the same object . this will help to detect stealth objects

It also feature an AI based super computer for Running the algorithms of Search & Track

It can detect & classify air & Ground targets. It is a long-range dual-band system that is capable of tracking multiple targets with a large field-of-view (FoV)

Honestly speaking you are right, it's seems like China prints out it's defence equipments like paper. Always launching brand new weapons in multitude every year in, year out.

In naval ships they are like on a mission mode for global superiority in numbers, and they will achieve it

The P@k!st@n! airforce inducts the new, cutting edge, 4.5 generation JF-17C block 3. The aircraft is reported to have the DNA of the Chengdu J20 and it is made up of 50% composite material.

DNA of j20

And previously I read in twitter DNA of j10

.

The average American pilot especially the Naval Fighter Aviators believe they're the best in the world and they're not far from the truth. Look at the level of training, flight hours, aircraft avionics and aircraft munitions.

Yes and no

Incase you didn't know IAF pilots annual flight hours is higher than that of USAF pilots

Avionics and muntions advantage definitely USAF

But than IAF gets to work with Russian , Israeli, French and Ind... avionics & muntions , if one was to consider it worthwhile then ok, otherwise also ok

Tactics USAF is own while IAF tactics are own mixed with which it considers best of both western and eastern world , introduces unpredictability in my opinion

Yet still USAF have been the trend setters for long and invested in tactics for long so I will give them the advantage

Having said that, in an aerial engagement between the IAF Su-30 and F-15(you didn't specify the variant but I'll say F 15C because it is purely air superiority ), like other modern air to air engagements, the first to detect the other before the merge will dictate the fight. The F 15C has an APG 63 V3 AESA radar which boasts of a detection range of 180 km compared to the N011M bars radar of the Su 30 with 200km. This might not really matter because ROE dictates use of AWACS in these kind of instances and also visual identification before engagement. So, it might just be settled in WVR.

I can't say who will kill whom bec as I always say things like this are unpredictable, so no point speculating

But as far as I know kinematic performance of Su30 is good, su30 is both a bomb/missile truck + dogfighter , but to enter dogfight it will need to sacrifice some of its heavy load

In theory atleast it makes sense detect first shoot first in bvr engagement bec u r not factoring in the jammers, su30 employs Israeli DRFM based jammers which will negate that advantage, WSO in the rear needs to earn his pay

As for AWACS depends on the what either side employs , phalcons with Israeli radar is no slouch

Here is when aerodynamics, speed and energy comes to play. The F 15C is faster at both higher and lower altitudes and has the ability to gain energy faster than the SU-30 mki. It has the ability to leave the fight if it is losing. The Su 30mki also has a higher wing loading which would affect its maneuverability against the F 15C.

1st kinematic performance is related to the payload especially sustained turn rate and acceleration

I am not aware of F15c kinematic specs and bec many of those specs are variable depending on the load , in my opinion it will be a exercise in futility to compare them with another aircraft, but than I leave it to u to decide

Tvc brings in lot of capabilities which in the right hands will be handful

About the Missiles and guns, the Aim 120, Aim 7 and Aim 9 are integrated to the Joint helmet mounted system which enhances the off bore sight ability of the F 15C, in fact the American missiles are more successful compared to the R 27, R 77 R73. I haven't heard of that from the Su 30mki but please correct me if I am wrong.

Su30 had hmd for donkey years , even the k versions
And on top of that IRST is organic to Su30

But than again I can't say whose is better , I will give the benefit of doubt to F15C atleast on paper


Missiles advantage I will give it to US atleast on paper, but than again it's easy bec it's not my ass or your ass in the line , russian philosophy of bvr engagement is unique they try to engage adversary by mixing up the shots with multiple types and su30mki will further complicate things by employing Iderby, Asraam ir guided which can be fired at bvr ranges , Astra series, python 5 which can hit targets behind the aircraft and even more funnier if they integrate mica series

Being in audience better

Before I go

Last year only year long extensive competitive trials of F18 and Rafale-M were concluded in ind.. by IN

And here we have people saying ...... [I don't know the polite word for crap]

Faithful007:
Now this should be the last time you spit trash to me unprovoked. I can be an internet bully too and turn the heat on you as well. If you can't respond in a civil tone then I don't need your responses. All these were not necessary.

It's funny how you believe you have more knowledge than someone you have never met in reality. If we judge by the quality of basic writing/composition here, where do you think that will place you?

Alteast I am alive right ? A dead person can't reply to shiit post can he ?

Internet bully , spit trash, unprovoked, turn on heat ? Too much self empathizing ?

How did u know I believe myself to be more knowledgeable than u ?

All these stupid things don't even cross my mind, don't impose ur mindset on me

Now that u spoke about it ,what I believe is you are most ignorant in the concerned matters you posted on

And other than that u might be infinite time more knowledgeable than me , good for you and congratulations , more power to u

My writing and composition matters in STEM related subjects ? Seriously it's mind boggling

Say what, even for timepass sake not worth the trouble, will no longer reply to u

Faithful007:
This is false.

Nobody trials aircraft before purchasing.

Aircrafts are purchased on pre-order after inspection. If you're talking about airshows, it's just talk and pitch. I'd like you to show me an objective report where your military put the aircraft on trial against the gripen. This aircraft is different from the so called "Super Viper" offered to India a decade ago.

Seriously ?, what's even funnier is your confidence in your totally wrong claims

You would like me to show you an objective report from IAF ?
Sure why not where do I send it

U an American right ? If so why don't you move ur ass to LM HQ and ask them regarding the F16 sent to ind... for trials Dont forget to ask for an objective report I will be praying hard that they oblige u

Anyways what's the point in saying something u clearly dont know, bec all along someone will come along and put you down for your ignorance , it's only coincidence I happen to be that guy here , not that I find pleasure in it , let me tell I detest it. To believe it or not ur business

Thanks for this

Np

The level and amount of idiocacy is baffling

One reason why I am loath to even comment here most of the time

The Russians weak point is their electronics be it on their radar or their missiles , replace them with better stuff and it will toast the so called best MF on a 1 ver 1, as I say on paper atleast , in real life nobody will know unless actual combat happens given the multitude of external factors which will or might determine the outcome

As for my above opinion on the electronics which i deleted later on, it's based on experience with own version , reasons r obvious , no one exports their top level stuff and our version was the first so that might be a factor

What's the performance of their electronics in theirs or other versions I don't know

I saw this thread now

MiddleDimension:
In your HONEST assessment, how would you compare the F15, 16 and 18s with the SU-30MKI and other variants? I have found out the hard way that quora is not the best place to ask this kind of question. What you hear there is complete nonsense! They even rate the F-16s above the SU57.

Reality is no one can't tell bec multiple factors are involved which r dynamic and fluid

Eg . Western way of waging air warfare is like a wedding procession , they will bring in all their support assets in support of their fighters , which are also brought in numbers to overwhelm smaller opposition, they have the advantage of choice of when to strike and where to strike bec they are the attackers and have the numbers eg 30+ countries pooling their aircrafts against Iraq and claiming victory is a joke in itself

Anyways as far as own Su30mki is concerned, after it upgrades replacing russian electronics and missiles will ind.. ones eg drdo GaN AESA radar, drdo irst, digital wideband RWRs, AESA based jammers, Astra mk1 , Astra mk2 2-pulse, Astra mk3 solid fuel ducted ramjet , Astra mk4 3-pulse LRBVRAAMs it should be equal or outmatch the f series in paper , and as i keep saying that paper / theory based advantage is not a advantage in real life , only for fanboys and armchair generals

Also as I said before real air combat is not simply about fighter ver fighter , the support elements during combat matters eg awacs, airborne jammers etc including the tactics and the number of aircrafts in the fray , no one will be able to predict the outcomes bet peer ver peer ( balanced sides ) only way to determine is actual combat , and not joke of air combats involving weaker and way smaller airforces like erstwhile Iraq air force ver 30+ airforces

Faithful007:
Comparing fighter jets based on names alone is like comparing a Toyota Camry to an Accord without referencing the model and year.

Do you see the pic below? Thats is an F16 Viper. Deliveries only started around 2018. While that SU-30 might handle the C/D models in proliferation, It will not stand a chance against this sexy motherfucker.

And comparing them by looking at them is genius level stuff, dumb dumber dumbest, proved literally

Outside of US , that F16 version was extensively trialed back home

So don't want to piss on your circus but results were far from flattering , gripen had better performance

Anyways let's come down to kiddie level understanding, something which you maybe able to understand

On a 1 to 1 bvr and wvr battle with su30

F16 with that loadout will be a sitting duck during close combat, it's aerodynamic performance will be no better than a pregnant women

Only chance it will have is during bvr, if it fails during that , and gets forced into a merge it will be toast like 90% of the time, depending on the pilots skills and external factors but than as I always say it's on paper , as will everything with multitude of factors which r dynamic fluid and unpredictable

My point is no point in stupid porn level antics, orgasming, just by looking at pics like a ignoramus

And for fuks sake get some basic domain knowledge

GabrielYulaw:
The smoke thingy. The Kuznetsov heavy aviation cruiser was infamous for being an extremely smoky and polluting ship.

Of course, the ships in the image you uploaded are not as smoky as the Kuznetsov

All ships ( non nuclear ) emit smoke , every single one of them , and depending on factors will at times discharge denser smoke , especially at low speeds

What is problematic is if smoke is uncontrolled due to failure in machinery etc

Lol

Read something which had me in laughter

Well this might be bad for it's reputation (the ALH mk3) when on the market.

Well depends

Imo reputation of weapons is the last thought in the mind of any serious end user, systems are selected based on evaluation not reputation, some might though , but than it's their business

It's the first time that naval ALH meet with a accident in more than a decade of operations in IN

And I don't consider accidents much of a big deal unless it was caused by deficiency in design and manufacturing , poor maintenance, error in SOP by pilots

Accidents will happen, the more you fly, the more the chances of something going wrong

Flying in diverse ind... conditions etc comes with it's own risks

That really does not make sense. The Americans have repeatedly made it clear that they do not recognize the authority of the International Criminal Court and would invade it and rescue any American charged by the court.

And use it if it suits them


That's the whole point of lol

From the last picture, I fear your country might have another Kuznetsov situation on its hands.
