F-35 will get a new hypersonic missile that can fit internally named Mako. Max load 6 missile both internal and externally. https://www.navalnews.com/event-news/sea-air-space-2024/2024/04/lockheed-martin-unveils-mako-hypersonic-missile/

S-300/400 use different radar for different purpose, and due to their purpose, they operate at different frequency. Currently S-400 uses the 91N6E surveillance and tracking radar radar (which operate at S-band), the 92N6E engagement radar (which operate at I/J band). It also sometimes use 76N6...

Stealth is not an on/off button, it is not binary like that. Stealth basically mean having a very low RCS value, so that you can detect/attack enemy before they can detect/attack you. Saying that a certain radar can detect a stealth aircraft is pretty much irrelevant information if you don't...

No, L-band isn't exactly the solution against stealth aircraft. You need something like VHF band for the surface wave return effect to be significant

How can a random twitter account know the exact F-35 flight path if it is not yet published any where? He basically just make thing up

:pound: Stop making up BS when you don't understand the basic To get double the range (100% increase), you will need to increase power by 16 times. So no, RBE2 AESA does not get double the range of PESA version F-16 block 60 is only fat when carry CFT, otherwise it still very much a hot rod in...

Rafale literally needed significant modification to even keep up with F-16 block 60 UAE who already got F-16 block 60 demanded their Rafale to have 10% increased in radar range, 9 tons thrust M88-X and extended frequency for Spectra just so that they don't have any regression compared to F-16...

. The total procurement number never reduced from 2400 to 1700, let alone down to 1000. You were confusing between different numbers Besides: 1- purchasing aircraft in IOC is common practical, literally, every single aircraft nowaday is purchased like that. 2-what stopping IOC F-35 from being...

You are confused between the total planned procurement number of USA military and the planned procurement number of USAF aka US airforce and the total number of F-35 that are already built world wide The whole US military plan to buy 2380 F-35, in which 1700 is F-35A (belong to USAF) , 420 is...

no, the rear frame was not taken off The limitation on the time in AB above 1.3M to prevent possible overheating of the horizontal tails coating, which was seen one time in flight test and never repeated. On the B, the -600 engine has a shorter divergent nozzle section for ground clearance...

As usual, that is wrong. Norwegian Air Force use F-35A which have no time limit on supersonic time. The time limit is on F-35B and F-35C https://www.popularmechanics.com/military/aviation/a32701605/f-35-supersonic-flight-speed-limit/. That may sound horrendous until you realized that F-35 is...

And what make you think that Ukraine airforce and Himars doesn't pose a threat to Russian force? Just because they are not all back to Crimea yet doesn't mean they aren't threatened This is how much territory Russian occupied on 24/3/2022 This is how much territory Russian occupied on 7/1/2023...

OTH are massively big (kilometer long array) for a good reason: to reduce their beam width aka resolution cell. If target discrimination could be so simple by relying on rcs magnitude, then you wouldn't need them to be as big I don't think you understand the point. Russian was not hesitant to...

The target RCS value on those chart come with the needed SNR to detect them, what the chart basically tell you is the required minimum SNR so that you can detect target. The radar screen might show you the different between the barely detectable target that keep disappearing then appearing on...

And honestly, you just need to look at the war currently going on in Ukraine to see that this doesn’t work. The container radar basically cover the whole Ukraine, and yet Russian with their superior fire power still can’t stop these Ukraine Mig-29 from taking off and doing harassment

You are confused between the minimum signal to noise ratio needed to detect target and the ability to discriminate different target inside a resolution cell. Those two are not the same. Minimum SNR only tell you the min signal ratio needed for the target to appear on your radar screen. This can...

All ELINT system, whether it is Kolchuga or Vera or ASQ-239 or ALQ-218, ASQ-213 all identify and classify their target in very similar fashion. They based on characteristic like frequency, pulse width, bandwidth, PRF, and scan interval. Let me explain what that mean. Let say you have a Nebo-UM...

Passive radar can't discriminate between decoys and aircraft, they are in fact, among the worst for target discrimination. The problem with passive radar is the fact that anything that can emit will look like a target. Container radar does not have 1 km spatial resolution, the resolution cell...

It is a one time use system, basically a cruise missile with a jammer
