New J-15s are still not shown with heavy loads, few years ago a news agency alleged to Jiang Zemin faction reported that J-15 can barely reach 200 kms if it takes off with full load.


Without sabotaging the project, Chinkistaan continued it and here we are giving thumbs down to Naval LCA.

Huh !

tdayof:
200km. That sounds not possible even on paper. China Paki/stan joint development on a flanker series?

nemesis4u:
Actually that's possible when u factor in that Liaoning employs STOBAR and j15 is a heavy aircraft in itself and will be hard pressed to take off with full weapons and fuel load .

Not aware of the range though with full load, though employing tankers / buddy refullers will solve the range problem to a good extent.

With CATOBAR carriers j15 will not have a problem

Lol they r churning out carriers like pancakes so I will not loose sleep over the range issue with full load.

A bad idea , Ind should go on with FGFA project . Su 57 is the very best 5th gen fighter under development .
No other aircraft has a chance in front of Su 57. If Ind upgrades it , FGFA easily be the best 5th gen in the world .
In my view Ind should not think about money. We can also use FGFA avionics for super Sukhoi .











Its good that Ind/ia has withdrawn from FGFA project atleast it would help save funds , A heavy 5th generation fighter can wait but lower tier junks must be flushed out.


What do you say?

Apart from the old school Russian HMDS used in the MIG-29, i don't think i've seen a modern Russian HMDS similar to this or what the West use.

Do modern Russian HMDS exist, kindly post pictures of it.

You will never see fighters launching with full loads off a carrier that uses a ramp - you need a catapult to get them up to the take-off speeds required with heavy loads.

Ramp carriers are traditionally used by navies who prioritized using aircraft for defence (UK, Russia) than navies that use Aircraft for force projection (US, France)

As far as I know, you cant launch AWACS and the like off ramps as well - so your safe combat radius is limited to the radar bubble provided by the fleet or helicopters born AWACS.

Obviously, the F-35 has changed this dynamic due to its VTOL and the fact that it has such extensive detection capabilities.

Yes, for the Mi-28 pic 1

Ka-50 doesnt really require them due to role and usage. Their HMD just displays flight data so they can focus on the weapons LCD's in the cockpit pic 2

the F-35 C STOVL has a significant trade-off in terms of performance. The extra equipment used for the vertical take-off cannot be utilized during normal flight pattern...this degrade the performance to a large extent. the increased weight would cause a lot of energy losses especially during tight turning aerial battles.

For this reason also, F-35 C would find it difficult to carry its whole intended weapons loads without compromising on range, fuel efficiency and stealth.

A STOVL aircraft is no match for a dedicated carrier-based fixed-wing aircraft (no matter how hi-tech), the only thing going good for the F-35 C is stealth unless that, it would be a turkey shoot in a battle with for instance a Chinese J-15 Flying Shark or say French naval Rafales.

I was talking about the ability to use the F-35B, which is VTOL. F-35C is the carrier version and the only difference between that and the A is foldable wings and changes to flight surfaces - which actually increase its range and payload.

F-35C will make mincemeat out of anything it encounters. Its getting 20:1 kill ratio's against aircraft that have 102:1 and 72:1 kill ratios in real-life operations.

There is literally nothing that can compete with it with the exception of the F-22.

patches689:
No information of STOBAR weights for Mig-29K but all indications are that it uses a reduced load
