    Does anybody have the SAAW video, and congrats guys, our swift UCAV video is out, although its a small demonstrator prototype, but its the first step towards stealth UCAVs. Somebody make a thread of SWIFT UCAV.

    Yes its the SAP 14, what about the SAR pod? They are currently being used to ground map the areas for target selection and intelligence gathering.

    Sukhoi Su 30MKI

    There's a video where SU30Mki are sorting using those SAP-514 with ELTA SAR pod at the bottom.

    Sukhoi Su 30MKI

    The fighter program since F-# onwards, USAF and its military's industrial complex (MIC) have focused on offensive fighters. Since the era of F14 tomcat or even F4-Phantoms, there production line never stopped. Thus major OEMs like Boeing, Rocket Dyne, LM and its highly secretive Skunk works...

    Sukhoi Su 30MKI

    Of the total incident reported, they were either: 1. Pilot mistake 2. Bird crashing in engine. 3. Avionics failure. Western jets have better operational rates, but also because there jets are built well.

    CGI, but great work there.

    Sukhoi Su 30MKI

    It turns out, if you know what you are doing, you can beat a flanker too by a F18. Clearly, fighter pilot skills is the top gun. MAF fighter pilot has a very capable jet, however his tactics against a low speed jet in WVR is simply not great. SU30MKM (similar to MKI) is a High KE fighter, but...

    Sukhoi Su 30MKI

    Now is the best time to test these, remember USAF used F4 Phantoms as soon as they got out of production line in Vietnam war.

    Must be the integration issue with Radar and onboard fire solution computer?

    Sukhoi Su 30MKI

    R27 range and internal electronics are much better compared to older R77. I think these ranges are for ideal straight glide paths. If you are subduing the missile to increase its AoA, these ranges become less effective.

    Sap518 is the Russian one right?

    Sukhoi Su 30MKI

    We defended against a typical aerial battle, not so many countries see such events in twenty five years. That battle over LOC, had all modern assets, and let me clarify, we were using one such strategy from IAF (Israel). If you observe, we were playing by there books. We used ELTA jamming...

    Sukhoi Su 30MKI

    A source from IAF, my buddy currently flying Migs and soon will be transferred to Tejas Squadron. 1. Netra were used during bomb drops, they weren't used when PAF strike package was hot, because the threat of AIM120C was real and the platform isn't capable of gaining higher altitudes or speeds...

    Sukhoi Su 30MKI

    True, a few more SU30s could've changed the battle, as they can Netsync. The reason we took Phalcon is because half of our jets can't communicate without it, that's a big facepalm to our capabilities.

    Sukhoi Su 30MKI

    Russian Fighters if observed closely doesn't boast "all aspect stealth", they never were designed for that, its an old cold war era design. The purpose they serve is simple... multirole. Since geographical coverage of Russia is huge (even post soviet era collapse) they were designed to have long...

    My bad ... yes they are Israel's. One thing is interesting though, how jamming was effectively used against BVRAAM missile.

    Sukhoi Su 30MKI

    It's no surprise that SU30MKI can jam an AMRAMM or two. The same kind of tech is influenced from it and is utilised in KA-50 Black shark heavy gunship. There are even videos that KA-50 literally changing flight path of guided missiles fired at it. This gives more weight to Russians having...

    Sukhoi Su 30MKI

    Come to think of it, if the bird hit an F35, it isn't something for a few hundred million dollar plane to be repaired. Actually it's pretty bad "PR" for a plane that got hit by a bird and cannot fly ever as Israel defence ministry quoted ... "we aren't sure if the jet would fly again". Two...

    Sukhoi Su 30MKI

    You sure know how to jump the guns. By repercussions I mean they will stop selling drones and other stuff to us. Remember, we still have a whole Apache gun ship shit storm waiting for us. If you ever saw Nicky Haley mood swings in UN you would know what I meant. Whom we are kidding, this is a...
