There is no question of what to bomb or not bomb in the "WVR engagements". The engagement is between an MKI and something. The MKI is either in an offensive mode (escorting a strike package) or defensive mode (CAP). Since BVR was out of the question the MKI patiently waits for its adversa...

Vick: Err whats the difference in these two situation? Is its WVR less effective in defensive coz the a/c has a lot more fuel load? While in offensive it has burnt up a significant portion of the fuel load. Also wouldnt it carry more ordinance in an offensive role. What exactly is offensive? Escort...

This is a slightly lengthly but highly technical discussion on how cheap analogues of AESA radars are being developed... - One day I allready wrote here, that AESA (as design) is NOT decisevely better, than PESA in all application, and the race between two designs is far from end. AESA 1) need much...

A very good read on the AESA stuff ... but since its a western source, as usual, its biased against the Russians .... Agile radar beams : Active electronically scanned arrays energize fighter performance - I think the main inconvenience of the article - is methodologics. It is not correct to compar...

in real life the idea is to use AWACS until time comes for launching missile. a radiating radar can be detected from well outside its own effective range by RWR gear. well you are right but this statement is not completely true.. in condition where an awac is not avaliable an air tactic called sent...

he obviously meant the N001 Myech radar is inferior to the RDY on 2000-5. I believe the RDY-2 was onlee on the UAE M2K-9 (aka 2005-mk2). just raw range and power isnt the only yardstick, sophistication also counts and in this the leading western radars have always been better - one of the reasons w...

From an online forum, translated by a French member: - French pilots learnt to know the SU30K better. "A powerfull and very manoeuvrable weapon system, which performs as well as the 2000 RDI but inferior to the 2000-5 RDY in its K version. Magazine Cover well if i am not mistaken the 2000-5 K ...

It is not 100% chance, but it is a chance. :wink: Now Igorr lets see why it has a chance... well it has a chance because we assume in the first place that the sub could some how creep to about 20 miles from its intended target... which to my mind is the key... you have to come as close as possible ...

Igor, well yes you are right... saturation model is a good way of taking down enemy defenses ... saturation can be done by both cruse missiles and also ballistic missile either independently or together ..coming in as a salvo ... verry simply put the underlying principle of a saturation attack is to...

sudipn, Just some friendly advice before the admins come knocking. In the interest of keeping the forum a friendly place, I request that you tone down the sarcasm in your posts. I'm sure that debate can be conducted in a far more civil manner. If you have information to share, please do share it in...

Sudip, I also want to add that, once the torpedo is out in water, u r out in the open to the other sub thats watching u, unless it happen that the opponents sub is of 70s vintage. So there is not much to hide. Also another fact is that, the torpeod just need to be pushed out, after that its propuls...

Sudip, i think u've confused urself, as what ur saying is not that of EG, which the west calls as Fuel-cells, but that of the MESMA close-cycle AIP.

BTW .... did u guys fotgot to look something ???? Our current Kilos employ 54 (which many had criticized), but just think of it as to how much we'd be able to get from these 540 men .... as the Amur-950 V2 needs just 18 guys (or say maybe, 20-21 when AIP module is included) and submarines aren't ea...

VLS is more of an issue for SAMs and similar defensive missile systems where reaction time is crucial. It is less of an issue for offensive missile systems. Nevertheless, there is a range penalty, and I'm guessing that the penalty is more than the few hundred meters it takes to turn the missile aro...

[quote="john]In order for that HDW had to make few comprises in order to accomadate 4 heavy torp tubes for Israeli submarine, one of those being that it can carry ony 16 missiles/ torpedoes as opposed to 24 and also less interior space for the crew men and so on. In all likelihood we will see V...

sudipn

[I do not have any source to back that up, but believe me, if torpedo launch (of missiles) were so easy, the navies of the world wouldnt have developed a VLS. The above should make it clear why VLS is preferred to tube launch. The sub/ship has to position itself in the direction of the target to la...

sudipn

My uneducated guess: 1. To fire a missle from torpedo tube, the sub has to position itself at certain depth and angle with its torpedo tubes facing up. The VLS doesnt place any such restrictions, though depth restriction stays. 2. The VLS launched missile shoots out of the water vertically and can ...

sudipn

VLS allows firing in any direction with no effect on range and that is the most important advantage of VLS IMHO. Everything else needs multiple units and support hardware to provide a 360' coverage. :) could you please try and explain what u mean by firing in any direction? and also which units (th...

Question............... And plz dont mind if i am asking a rather dumb question... Why would we require a vls for bramose ...why would we be not able to fire them exactly like we fire the club missiles from our submarines today?

From the High BW video, both the low visibility grey shade and the blue shade Su-30s clearly didn't have the canards. There were the Su-30Ks, no question about that. If the canard is straight and level with the wing, it is extremely difficult to spot it. The video appears to be clear but I would no...

Guys I Think we ought to a take a leaf on battle tactics from the US and may be improvise/tailor them to suite our conditions. The Concept of total war.
