missions are getting longer and more loitering needed for targets of opportunity as well. the smaller planes like Ef/rafale/F16 have tried to cope by adding huge external fuel tanks which eats into their A2A moves, making them BVR missile trucks only. F15 was lucky enough to escape with a CFT and so I think we need to pursue Rafale CFT as well and free up the big inner pylons for quad-packed Helinas.

onlee the Su27+ family manages without drop tanks given their vast size.

How can we beat the Rafale (for example) with an LCA ?

Give the Rafale pilot a double gin and tonic for breakfast and tie his right hand to his left foot.

^^^ MKI is good for a lot.

OT here, but what is the LCA good for, and how can we develop it into something world leading? How can we beat the Rafale (for example) with an LCA ?

Wish we were a little braver. Sure LCA can screw the Rafale. Its up to us to make it good enough to do so. Lets rise to the technological challenge brothers.

Sukhoi says it has started testing an active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar on its fifth-generation T-50 PAK-FA fighter in a statement issued on 8 August.

The company says that the radar is showing "considerable progress" in ground and flight testing. The performance demonstrated so far "corresponds to the existing level of best aviation systems available elsewhere", Sukhoi says. There are currently three flying T-50 prototypes, but only one is equipped with an AESA.

The Tikhomirov NIIP-developed AESA employs "advanced technologies of electronic control over the radar beam", Sukhoi says, which is a first for a Russian-built set.

The new radar will not only afford the PAK-FA the ability to detect targets from greater ranges, it will also enable the simultaneous use of air-to-air and air-to-surface modes. The radar can also engage several targets at a time using precision-guided munitions. Additionally, it features built-in target recognition and classification capabilities as well as secure communications and electronic countermeasures.

Sukhoi says that there is a growth path to integrating additional capabilities to the new AESA radar. But, because the system is designed to be modular, there could be other potential applications for the new system including retrofits to older aircraft types or even air defence systems, the company says.

Sukhoi also is continuing to wring-out other systems onboard the PAK-FA. For example, testing of the jet's "optical channels" has started, the company says. Additionally, a fourth PAK-FA prototype could soon be joining the test fleet.
