Yakhroma radar where it can work in the meter and millimeter range, better yet have you ever heard of any military radar operating in millimeter waves?

Yakhroma will be a new version of the Voronezh meter wavelength radar.

This is Voronezh meter wavelength radar

a 300 Sq meter beast.

I do not think you know how radar works. Antenna size need to be comparable to the wavelength of the radar in which it is operating in.... for a VHF radar like above its is around 150 cm ( 1.5 meter )

Why do you think lower frequency radar have such huge antennas ?

it is impossible to have a real VHF radar ( meter range ) on a fighter sized aircraft. That’s just basic physics.

.from photonic radars where photodetectors are used to multiply frequency without any decibel losses.

You are mixing many things here. This is signal processing nothing to do with meter to millimetre.

Microwave photonic radar system with ultra-flexible frequency-domain tunability (osapublishing.org)

1. Introduction
Varied interaction mechanisms along with wavelengths between electromagnetic wave and matter lay the fundament for the commonly used information sensing techniques [1], such as X-ray diagnosis, hyperspectral remote sensing, THz security inspection and radar detection. For the last one, due to its uniquely all-weather, all-time, and long-range perception ability, systems with different functions have being developed to satisfy the military and civil information acquirement applications based on a more detailed frequency band division, such as HF, L, Ka and so on. Currently, both the security defense pressure caused by the rapid development of various aerial flight targets, especially with the promotion of unmanned aerial vehicle or hypersonic technology, and the increasingly demand of remote sensing tool for providing multi-source and clear microwave image [2–3], all call for the radio-frequency (RF) sensing to provide much more fine-grained and richer information, which deserves radar system with wide working frequency span and large bandwidth (that means flexible frequency-domain tunability. However, electric techniques, the supporting technology of current radar systems, suffer bandwidth bottleneck and limited frequency tunability. Though few multi-band radio-frequency radar modules or systems have been reported [4,5], the limited resolution and fixed functionalities are not suitable well for the demands mentioned above.

High-quality optical-domain frequency operation, frequency-unlimited waveform generation with flexible temporal control and multi-band system-level detection experiments presented above not only identify the excellent parameter-reconfiguration ability of the proposed system, but also demonstrate a breakthrough in frequency and bandwidth limitation on microwave radar systems. Thus, more detailed target information can be obtained not only in high frequency bands, but also in low ones, which means a much longer detection range with high resolution. Compared to previous reported microwave photonic radar system, the novelty of the proposed system lies in decoupling the restriction between the center frequency and bandwidth to make the radar system with an excellent frequency-domain adjusting ability, while the time-domain advantages of the electrical sources still can be inherited. With the development of techniques relative to front end, a general radar core or module can be expected. This significance can also be lay in implementing a photonic RF AWG with indexes, such as bandwidth and quality, exceeding current electrical system or a microwave spectrometer to provide target information by frequency scanning, which all might brought new target detection mechanism into microwave sensing.

Unless you want to argue that KRET, RTI, VEGA, and the head of Russias ground radar systems are all on crack talking about 100ghz or terahertz frequencies. The prototypes are done but the software programming has to be done.

Voronezh is a VHF UHF radar. Yakhroma will work on 4 different bands because it will have a VHF a UHF a X band & mm wave antenna. it will still have a large size probably little bit smaller than Voronezh but that's it. It will be a ground base radar hence power & cooling requirement will be met...not possible in a fighter jet.

Yakhroma Multi-Band Radar (globalsecurity.org)

The Yakhroma will be a new version of the Voronezh meter wavelength radar. A source in the military-industrial complex told TASS that Yakhroma was unparalleled in the world. It will operate in four frequency ranges: meter, centimeter, decimeter, and millimeter ones and have a field of vision of 270 degrees. "This station has no analogues, it will operate in four bands: meter, centimeter, decimeter and millimeter," the source said. The station will enter the missile attack warning system. The main purpose of the system is to detect and escort ballistic missiles fired at the territory of the Russian Federation or its allies as soon as possible.

Do you want other sources on the frequency ranges they gave on an aerial photonic radar proposal? Might tommorow because I am tired. Thought it does not seem the radar will have 4 different radars and even if we pretend that it did than there is no denying that millimeter is being used. Here have a news dump.

Российские специалисты создают радары нового типа на основе терагерцевых технологий | Пикабу (pikabu.ru)

Terahertz technology in the future will be widely used. In particular, it will be used in the military sphere, said Pavel Laptaev, general director of RTI JSC, which develops missile attack warning systems.



Specialists of "RTI" today pay a lot of attention to terahertz technologies, interest in which, in particular, shows Rosgvardia. Representatives of law enforcement agencies reacted positively to the project of a new and more effective inspection system. Despite the fact that now there is only a mock-up sample, the appearance of a fully working station is expected at the Army-2020 forum.



In the future, terahertz technologies will form the basis of the latest radars capable of detecting small drones and working in space. According to Laptaev, this technique allows you to reduce the level of energy consumption and at the same time with high accuracy to direct the beam to a fairly small object. At the same time, the stations will be able to receive information about the speed and trajectory of the target, its shape and the material from which it is made.



"Terahertz technology will be converted into a product within five years. Taking into account the fact that only in 2019 we managed to achieve significant results, we mastered the element base, learned to identify objects and materials," Laptayev emphasized.



Now specialists have to do the most difficult work - software development. It is he who, on the basis of the accumulated information, will have to determine the category of the object in a very short time and subsequently effectively interact with the operator.



Earlier it was reported that the specialists of the company "Radar-MMS" are working on the creation of a new radar station. It is expected that it will be installed on aircraft.

About the novelty found out the journalists of "Star". Having visited the unique anechoic chamber of the company "Radar-MMS", they saw the process of debugging the latest radar. Despite the fact that the characteristics of the device are kept in the strictest confidence, journalists still managed to find out that it will be able to detect any objects within a radius of 100 kilometers. In addition, the radar compares favorably with analogues with increased noise immunity. It is also reported that the carriers of the system will be aircraft, but there is no information about specific models.

It is worth noting that Radar-MMS occupies a leading position in the development of radio-electronic systems and complexes for special and civil purposes, as well as specialized software and precision instrumentation.

In Russia, much attention is paid to the development of existing and the creation of new radars. At the same time, completely different systems are being developed. As the ex-commander of the air defense system, Lieutenant General Alexander Gorkov, said, the appearance of ultra-long-range radars will significantly increase the radar field of air defense systems. Thanks to this, the command will have more time to make a decision. And this, in turn, gives a very significant advantage.

"Thanks to such technical features, Shoigu noted, the Russian military on the peninsula will be able to track the presence and movement of all targets that are several thousand kilometers away, including stealth aircraft, UAVs, ballistic and cruise missiles. newest radar, the construction of which was announced within the framework of the annual board of the Ministry of Defense, the head of the Ministry of Defense Sergei Shoigu, will be deployed in Crimea and will start working in four wave ranges at once," TASS reports, citing its own sources in the domestic defense industry."

At the same time, they calculated that the Yakhroma radar station would be able to cover half of Canada and reach the state of California in the USA with its sensitive devices. In addition, it will be able to monitor an unimaginably gigantic space, backing up other early warning radars. She will "see" from the Spitsbergen archipelago and Greenland to the largest Japanese island of Honshu and the entire North Pacific Ocean.

Note that in December 2020, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu announced the start of work on the construction of the Yakhroma radar station in Sevastopol in 2021. Earlier, in 2019, the newspaper "News" reported that according to the Russian military, it is planned to deploy the Voronezh radar station on the territory of the Nakhimovsky district of Sevastopol, so that "the folds of the terrain do not interfere with its work."

it seems all those chinese names in that photonic radar article even state this but also demonstrate a breakthrough in frequency and bandwidth limitation on microwave radar systems. Thus, more detailed target information can be obtained not only in high frequency bands, but also in low ones, which means a much longer detection range with high resolution. And that Russian article states basically like radar horizon no longer matters, its like its saying as long as you receive HF waves you can rebuild meter to millimeter frequencies that are higher than X-band which offer pin point precision in targetting. Another example is stating flocks of birds being seen 1000s of kilometers away and we know that birds dont fly near space let alone existing aircrafts. Will get some sleep but this is the current info I have.

Alright! That's a great choice to be honest! I like The MIG-15 as well but to me ,my personal favourite Russian Aircraft of all time has to be the Sukhoi SU-35 Flanker Aircraft! I just love this Aircraft because it's so cool(ofcourse this is just my personal opinion and Preference)
(A picture of the SU-35 Flanker Aircraft)

 

[Angel of War]

To be fair. Most of these Russian Weopons and Defence programs Are Always stuck because of Lack of funds.
Most of their Projects are Mostly delayed because of Many Reasons but one of the Primary reasons is "Lack of funds".

Their SU 30 programme was also saved by India when they ran out of funds

 

[Super Flanker]

Their SU 30 programme was also saved by India when they ran out of funds

Yes You are right ,I am Aware of that, Majority of the Funding for the development of the SU-30 MKI Aircraft was done by india.
•
And also in the End ,the Russians were so impressed with the Performance of the SU-30 MKI that they themselves ordered a couple of SU-30SMs(Which were based on the SU-30 MKI Aircrafts)

Russian Aerospace Forces received two serial Su-57 fighters

January 21st, 1:41 am
As Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation Alexei Krivoruchko said in his report at the National Center for Defense Control of the Russian Federation on January 20, 2022, in the fourth quarter of 2021, 17 new aircraft were delivered in the interests of the Aerospace Forces of Russia, including two fifth-generation Su-57 fighters.


57-521

One of two serial fifth-generation Su-57 fighters built for the Russian Aerospace Forces under the 2021 program at the Komsomolsk-on-Amur Aviation Plant named after Yu.A. Gagarin (KnAAZ, a branch of PJSC "Company" Sukhoi "), with tail number "52 blue". Presumably, this is the fourth serial Su-57 (T-50S-4, presumed serial number 52202) (c) frame from KnAAZ video

(Collapse)



The mention of two Su-57s handed over to the Aerospace Forces was removed from the text of the report by Alexei Krivoruchko on the official website of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, but was confirmed by a message outlining the report by the TASS news agency.

A little earlier, a video with one of the two Su-57 fighters manufactured for the Russian Aerospace Forces in 2021 with tail number "52 blue" appeared in an advertising video published on January 18, 2022 by the Komsomolsk-on-Amur Aviation Plant named after Yu.A. Gagarin (KnAAZ, a branch of PJSC Sukhoi Company) on holding a KnAAZ Job Fair on January 29.

Based on this, it can be assumed that another newly built Su-57 handed over to the Aerospace Forces at the end of 2021 has tail number "51 blue".

These two Su-57 aircraft transferred to the Aerospace Forces, presumably, have serial numbers 52201 (T-50S-3) and 52202 (T-50S-4), and are the third and fourth production Su-57s built by KnAAZ. According to known data, the delivery of two serial Su-57s corresponds to the planned task of KnAAZ for 2021. despite reports that the plant is due to deliver four aircraft in 2021.

Recall that in August 2018, at the International Military-Technical Forum "Army-2018", the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation and PJSC "Company" Sukhoi "signed a contract for the supply to the Armed Forces of the first two serial fighters of the fifth generation Su-57 (in the guise of T- 50С - T-50С-1 and Т-50С-2 boards) with engines of the "first stage" ("product 117"). The terms of the contract were 2018-2020, with the delivery of one aircraft in 2019 and 2020. In June 2019, at the Army-2019 International Military-Technical Forum, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation and Sukhoi Company PJSC signed a contract for the supply of a total of 76 fifth-generation Su-57 serial fighters to the Armed Forces (including the first two contracted in 2018 aircraft). The term of the contract is 2027.

The first serial Su-57 aircraft (T-50S-1 aircraft, serial number 51001, tail number also "01 blue"), built at KnAAZ, made its first flight in Komsomolsk-on-Amur in early December 2019 and was planned to be transferred to the Ministry defense on December 27, but on December 24, 2019, at the final stage of factory testing, it crashed as a result of an accident, due, presumably, to a failure in the aircraft control system.

The loss of the first production model of the Su-57 led to major proceedings at the personal level, including a change in the leadership of Sukhoi Company PJSC.

Flight tests of the second of two production models of the Su-57 fighter contracted in 2018 (T-50S-2 aircraft, serial number 51002) began in Komsomolsk-on-Amur in October 2020, he also received the tail number "01 blue", and was commissioned in December 2020, but only on January 29, 2021 was it officially transferred to the Ministry of Defense. The aircraft is believed to have entered the 929th State Flight Test Center named after V.P. Chkalov of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation in Akhtubinsk (Astrakhan region).

Now the next two serial Su-57 fighters have been handed over. According to previously published information, KnAAZ plans to hand over four Su-57s in 2022.
