According to the United Kingdom, “Flight International” 2009 December 3 reported that Rosoboronexport will provide a multi-purpose fighter Su-30MKM fighter aircraft involved in Malaysia’s bid, instead of the new Soviet MiG -35 or -35.

Before the Royal Malaysian Air Force has purchased 18 Su-30MKM and to consider the kind, continue to buy, but in October the Air Force and the Malaysian government suddenly decided to retire the country’s fleet of MiG -29, because maintenance costs are too high.

Defense Minister Zahid Hamidi said that despite the Soviet Union -30 can be temporarily replaced in a number of tasks MiG -29, but the Government finally decided to assess the United States, France, Sweden and the United Kingdom and other countries in order to completely replace the MiG -29 fighters.

Langkawi in Malaysia in 2009 is participating in the International Maritime & Aerospace Exhibition of the Russian defense export, corporate vice president Victor komardin confident that the Malaysian government’s bid will be considered in the Russian-made fighter planes, he thought the Air Force is favored horse Sukhoi fighters, to buy more Su-30MKM it is reasonable to replace the MiG -29.

Victor komardin said the Su-30MKM be configured according to Malaysia’s requirements, so able to adapt to the Air Force’s mission requirements Ma. After the purchase of MiG -29 Ma is only used by the Air Force Boeing F/A-18D and Su -30, and then purchase a new model is unreasonable.

Saab officials strongly recommend to the Malaysian air show, “Gripen” fighter, EADS will launch a “Typhoon” aircraft, although Boeing and Dassault did not participate in exhibitions, but the two companies announced separately dispatched F/A-18E / F and the “gust” participate in the bidding.

Andrei Chang: China to steal the concept for fourth generation fighter – Inconsistent with “US-Russian Standard”

Nov 28

F 102 300x210 Andrei Chang: China to steal the concept for fourth generation fighter Inconsistent with US Russian StandardHan Defense Review Web site has recently published an article that the Chinese air force will soon be head of the recent flight test on the four generations of aircraft attitude frightened Tokyo and Washington, Moscow aviation experts. Another claimed that Chinese military personnel in the four-generation machine, “within a year or two,” flight. The latest Chinese media quoted the official as saying the Air Force to correct claims that “four generations of machine” refers to the J10 improved. And claim that Russia is also the SU -35 known as the “four generations of machines.”

American four-generation machine, a Russian fifth generation machine to define the international community is to have a unified standard. Russia and the United States call a different. West, known as fourth generation machines, the Russian machine known as the Five Dynasties. Andrei Chang says there is no “Chinese characteristics, four generations of machines.” J10 is a fully-fledged third-generation machine (Russia called fourth generation machine) and then how to change it, but also a Russian four-generation machines, Europe and the United States-style three generations of machines, the future installation of AESA radar, it becomes a Russian 4 + generation aircraft (the United States Type 3 +), and then an additional thrust-vectoring nozzle for the J10, it becomes a Russian 4 + + generation machine (American 3 + + generation). This is a typical sub-standard international. Therefore, the Russian Air Force Su–35 is defined as 4 + + generation of machines, rather than the West called the four-generation machine, nor is it a Russian fifth generation aircraft. Andrei Chang that the Chinese Air Force in one concept.

Standards of a Russian fifth generation machine, the American four-generation machine that must use the composite materials with low to detect 30% or more, RCS can not be more than 0.0001 square meters, and Su-30MKK of the RCS is almost close to 4 square meters; Second, the equipment at least 14500-15000 kg thrust engine afterburner to achieve supersonic cruise, while installation of two-dimensional or a 360-degree thrust vectoring nozzles. Third, you must use multi-function phased array radar AESA. AESA radar and the aircraft used in large-scale early warning aircraft than the difficulty of AESA radar technology, much larger. AESA radars are capable of developing early warning aircraft, the countries including Sweden, France, Russia, but it comes with the AESA radar, fighter aircraft, these countries still in the final sprint stage, the Swedish Gripen fighter AESA radar for use by the Italian development because the biggest fighter aircraft with AESA radar, the difficulties is the ultra-small size, diameter not exceeding 800 mm, must focus on more than 1000 T / R module, how cool is the largest technical difficulties.

At present, only China, Russia and the U.S. development of four generations of machines (Russia called the Five Dynasties machine) As in Europe, completely abandoned the development of four-generation fighter program, which trend is clearly directly to the fifth-generation (Russia called sixth generation) unmanned attack aircraft direct forward direction.

Andrei Chang that the Chinese Air Force from the current 13.2 thousand kilograms of WS10A type of engine afterburner thrust technical indicators to determine, even with a gradual improvement of methods to achieve 14500-15000 kg thrust afterburner standards, at least two phases of improvement , its time to complete even if another 10 years, is already above the international rate.

The article, Andrei Chang claimed that if the four-generation Chinese machine (Russia called the Five Dynasties machine) predictions are experiencing a major mistake, then, once China’s fourth generation machine (Russia called the Five Dynasties machine) within the first flight in eight years, and the Chinese version of four-generation machine (Russia called the Five Dynasties machine) must meet internationally recognized standards for each one, the Han Chinese Defense Review was formally closed.

JF-17 fightersPakistan Observer Network 24, reported that its first aircraft manufactured by Pakistan JF-17 “Fierce Dragon” fighter jets on aircraft manufacturing plant in Pakistan, 23 off the assembly line, Pakistan officially became a country can be self-built fighter “club” members. The article also predicts that the Pakistan Air Force’s first JF-17 “Fierce Dragon” fighter squadron formed in 2010 to form.

Pakistan’s first JF-17 fighter squadron Xiaolong Jun 2010 harvest

Reported that in the production of JF-17 fighters process, the Chinese government and China’s aviation industry as the Palestinian side has provided technical and financial assistance. The future, Pakistan’s production of “Fierce Dragon” fighter will gradually replace the A-5, F-7 and the “Mirage” aircraft, becoming the main force of Pakistan Air Force, and will be completed by 2010, Pakistan Air Force, the first “Fierce Dragon” fighter squadron.

Reported that the ability to master the construction of fighter planes means no longer need to worry about Pakistan sanctions by Western countries, you can choose to upgrade an existing JF-17 aircraft platform, or by virtue of the fabrication of “Fierce Dragon” fighter of the valuable experience gained in the process, the production more advanced fighters.

Moreover, the report commended the JF-17 fighter planes in the localization of the difficulties encountered during the project, when the sacrifices Pakistan has made and shown resilience, are commendable. For Pakistan, the successful construction of JF-17 fighter jets in terms of improving the morale of Pakistan is particularly important.

Pakistan Xiaolong fighter project to create 5,000 jobs

For the success of JF-17 fighter planes off the assembly line, Pakistani Prime Minister Gilani said that if you can not rely on their own production of defense products, the country’s progress and prosperity would be impossible. He said that, JF-17 fighters of the construction is the Pakistani government to achieve “self-defense” and an important milestone in the efforts.

U.S. experts say China may have obtained some of the F-22 and F-35 fighter planes technical

Nov 21

Posted by admin in Observers | No Comments

F-35 fighter jetsU.S. Global strategic networks on the 17th reported that the Chinese Air Force claimed that it will be within one year flight test performance, comparable to the U.S. military’s most advanced fighters of the new F-22 fighter planes, saying this new aircraft will be fitted out within a decade. In this regard, although the U.S. intelligence agencies believe China is still far unable to obtain this ability, but also that China may have obtained the construction of F-22 and F-35 fighter part of the performance of advanced technologies.

The article quoted U.S. intelligence experts as saying that China’s space technology, whether design or production capacity can not be independently developed F-22 or F-35 fighter levels, but China’s current self-designed two planes (J-10 and JF-17 ), it seems that China may have been capable of producing F-22 or F-35 fighter parts of the level of advanced technology.

The article said China’s development of an advanced fighter jet is one of the greatest difficulty in engine technology. 20 years China has been committed to the independent development of aircraft engines – any high-performance aircraft, a key component – of the production technology. Up to now, China has not received its most advanced fighter engines must produce all the production techniques and skills. For example, China is Russia’s RD93 engines (originally designed to provide the impetus for the MiG fighter -29) and an important customer, has purchased hundreds of which engine. At present, RD93 engine priced at approximately 2.5 million U.S. dollars.

Reported that China had developed a similar engine with the RD93 that WS-13, but Chinese sources said the engine will soon put into use. This engine in the development period, China received help from Russia, the latter providing the former with a key part of the engine to produce the required technology. Reported that China’s recent re-ordered an additional 100 units RD93 engines. The construction of high-performance military jet engines is not easy, the Chinese in this area have already experienced a number of difficult issues. This is not to say China can not get to build high-performance military jet engine technology, but access to this technology before they will inevitably need to Russian RD93 engines. According to Chinese official said that the reason for China to buy more units RD93 engines because they can not produce enough of the WS-13 engine.

Reported that the Chinese engineers have mastered the manufacture of Chinese version of Russian-made AL31F engine production technology, and research and development for the F -10 fighter and was put into operation two years ago is the Chinese version of the WS10A engine AL31F engines. However, the Chinese Air Force WS10A engine reliability and performance and not satisfied, from Russia ordered an additional 100 units AL31F engines coming off the production line as F -10 fighter’s heart. At the same time, Russia is also trying its rival with a new F-22 fighter planes to improve AL31 engine, but has encountered a number of serious problems. So, China can overnight beyond Russia?

F -10 fighter is China’s first independently developed an advanced fighter. The aircraft is to build planes that can compete with foreign made an attempt in modern fighter aircraft. F -10 fighter R & D work began more than 20 years ago, aims to develop a Russian-made MiG-with -27 or -29 and Su-US-made F-16 fighter jets comparable. However, up until 1998, when the prototype aircraft which began to conduct test flights. Until 2000 when the Chinese to solve the in-flight testing, we found some of the basic design flaw. To 2002, China built a nine prototype, but in subsequent flight tests also found hundreds of small problem.

Reported that the Chinese engineers, is this an excellent learning opportunity, but could not contend with the Russian-made fighter F -10 fighter Su -27/30 is also an indisputable fact. In fact, the F -10 fighter looks a bit like the US-made F-16 fighter jets, and the two planes is almost the same weight, is 19 tons. Different from Su -27, -10 F and F-16 fighter planes, like all single-engine.

Weighing 13 tons of the JF-17 fighter jets equipped with RD93 engines, is developed by US-made F-16 fighter planes low-cost alternative. Which aircraft jointly developed by China and Pakistan. Although the JF-17 fighters and early models of F-16 fighter capability rather, it is only equivalent to the effectiveness of the new F-16 fighter planes to 80%. Which fighters of the Russian Mig -33 aircraft aborted the project R & D base, equipped with electronic equipment manufacturers, mostly Western countries, while the Italian company is the main supplier.

JF-17 fighter jets capable of carrying weight of 3.6 tons of weapons systems, the use of radar-guided and heat guided missiles. Its maximum speed of about nearly 2,000 kilometers, a range of 1,300 km, service ceiling of 55,000 feet. So far, China still has not installed on its own whether it set out a decision FC-1/JF-17 fighter. Obviously, this is because China believes that the F -10 (autonomous R & D) and J -11 (built under license in Russia, the Chinese version of Su–27) fighters have been sufficient to meet their needs. However, with the JF-17 fighter similar to F -10 fighter’s performance and not achieved the desired results.

Indonesia interested in buying China’s F-10 and Xiaolong fighter

Nov 19

Posted by admin in Asia, China | No Comments

F 101 300x199 Indonesia interested in buying Chinas F 10 and Xiaolong fighterThe United States has imposed arms embargo against Indonesia’s policy is to never lose a large number of orders. According to U.S. Defense News 17, reported that due to fear once again been an arms embargo, coupled with too much money to buy weapons, the United States and Europe, Indonesia will turn its attention to the procurement of weapons and high-performance, flexible payment method in China and Russia. The article revealed that Indonesia has expressed interest in buying, F -10 and the “Fierce Dragon” fighter.

The article said that Indonesia will be held November 19 to 22 in the capital Jakarta Da Halin Air Force Base to host the 2008 defense exhibition in Indonesia. The defense exhibition organized by the Indonesian Ministry of National Defense is expected there will be more than 400 exhibitors. Worth noting that the United States did not come to the meeting to send a large-scale exhibition pavilions, as at present, only a few U.S. companies register.

In sharp contrast, Russia’s Sukhoi Design Bureau of weapons in this show, “a big show of fist”, apart from displaying a strong fighting force Su -35 “Super Flanker” fighter jets and Su-30MK2 fighters, will also be Show Sukhoi Super Jet 100 advanced medium-range passenger aircraft.

Article analysis pointed out that the main reason for this strong contrast may be related to the procurement in Indonesia in recent years, the focus shifted from the United States and Russia about. The article said that Indonesia had been subjected to the United States and Europe has been a lingering fear of the arms embargo. While Europe and the United States respectively in 2000 and 2005 lifted the arms embargo against Indonesia, but Indonesia procured from the U.S. C-130 transport aircraft, F-16 fighters and F-5 fighter jets, because the delay is not related to spare parts, seriously affected maintenance upgrades to the aircraft.

In such circumstances, China and Russia began to become Indonesia’s major arms supplier. Expensive compared to U.S. and European weapons, China and Russia’s weapons are not only high performance but lower price. Indonesia reportedly currently being purchased from Russia, “Kilo” class submarines, discuss issues, and to buy Chinese F -10 fighter, as well as China and Brazil jointly developed by the FC-1 “Fierce Dragon” (the Palestinian side, code-named “Thunder”) fighter performance out of interest.

In addition, Indonesia, procurement of arms from China and Russia, can be used barter, hire purchase and other payment methods, you can greatly reduce the pressure on their payments. This year, by the global financial crisis, Indonesia’s defense budget of 3.095 billion U.S. dollars from the previous reduced to 3.036 billion U.S. dollars, in this context, a flexible procurement method to Indonesia more attractive.

The article said that in 2003 Indonesia had ordered five Russia’s Sukhoi Design Bureau developed the Su-Su -27 fighter with 5 -30 “Flanker” fighter. Indonesia and China have also been on the joint production of military vehicles, tanks and missile consultations. The cooperation is China and India in 2007 in cooperation in military training and weapons production part of the agreement.

Russian Army deter NATO air ace of priority set out the heart of the new fighter equipment

Oct 14

Posted by admin in Weapons | No Comments

SU-34 Fighter-bombersAfter years of degradation, the Russian Air Force was finally ushered in the dawn of a comprehensive facelift. Called Moscow “Guards,” the 16th Air Army, recently received the latest Su -34 fighter-bomber, the aircraft has a combat radius of the large, greatly strengthened the heart of the Russian air force launched raids against NATO’s capabilities.

Use “all” Su Su -24 instead of -34

Early September, the Russian 16th Air Army Commander Major General Belevich announced that it has received military-to-date Su -34 fighter-bombers, will replace the existing fleet of Su -24 fighter-bomber.

SU -34 is an “all-round player,” can not only ease to complete difficult maneuvers, but also to carry modern weapons, and in adverse weather conditions on the ground, sea and even underwater targets, “targeted killings.” Zelin, commander of the Russian Air Force Su -34 would be very discouraged, saying that “in the world do not yet comparable with the fighter-bomber.”

Replacement to bring arms is responsible for the defense of Moscow from the 16th Air Army, as unlike other forces to worry about. As early as in the Soviet era, in order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army, the government reserves a lot of their equipment, even the most expensive of the engine also serves as a one-time supplies a large amount of stock. According to inside sources, because the Army, the engine of MiG -29 fighter shorter lifespans, so its a long time library maintains a huge stock of munitions to the war could “wear out on the throw.”

Integrated air defense elite division

In 1998, the Russian military reform, once the 16th Air Army was canceled preparation, downsizing for the first 16 mixed air force army, fighting also will be diminished. However, with the changes in the international situation, the Russian senior government officials quickly realized the importance of the force.

Four years later, 16 mixed restore the Army Air forces, coupled with absorption of the former anti-aircraft defense forces, it has thus become a set of air and ground air defense units in one complex-type units. February 1, 2002, former Russian air force commander General Mikhailov himself for the Army flag.

Currently, 16 Air Army under the jurisdiction of a mixed air divisions (including two groups), two directly under the fighter aviation regiment, an independent reconnaissance aviation regiment and an aviation technology and equipment exhibition center. The main models are equipped with Su -24 fighter-bombers, attack planes Su -25, -29 Su -27 fighter and MiG fighters and so on.

Among them, 237 aviation technology and equipment exhibition center is the 16th Group Army of the special unit, the Center for three-time “Soviet Hero,” the title of the Air Force Marshal Ivan Kozhedub named. Its jurisdiction “Russian Warrior” and the “Swifts” aerobatic team known worldwide, has completed several difficult aerobatic movements created many Western counterparts have never tried the feat. However, the center of the most important task is to test new weapons.

Under normal circumstances, the Russian Air Force, the latest equipment, most of the priority set out the direction of loading in charge of European defense force, from which you can also see Moscow’s wariness of NATO. As the 16th Army to take the fight against NATO and the dual task of defending the capital, plus have the highest levels of ace pilots, so it should be viewed as experimental base for new equipment.

“Royal Guards” both offensive and defensive

At present, NATO has to build the north the Baltic Sea, via the Black Sea, the Middle East, Central Asia, the arc connecting the strategic line of defense, pose a serious threat to Russian national security. To this end, the 16th Air Army to build as one capable of destroying deep targets of NATO “air guards” and become a prime choice as the Russian military.

It is reported that the 16th Army in the vicinity of Smolensk has a great combat readiness airport, after the disintegration of the Soviet Union because of non-deployment of the aircraft is idle, if not unexpected, then, Su -34 fighter planes will be broadly based there. Opening maps, in order to Smolensk base anchored, and then taking into account the SU -34 fighter has a combat radius of 3,500 km, No. 16 Army is fully capable of destroying NATO’s possible in the first deployment of military facilities in Eastern Europe.

By convention, the Russian Air Force’s long-range strategic bombing missions undertaken by the 37th Air Army. If we say that the 37th Army is Russia’s “nuclear club”, then the 16th Army was called “Royal Guards”, which directly take orders from the Moscow Air Defense District, Special Central Command, the headquarters is only 65 kilometers away from Moscow, and the pre-theater wide range – to cover not only all of Russia west of Moscow airspace, after the establishment of the Russia-Belarus Union State, Belarus airspace have been incorporated into the scope of its operations. More importantly, the 37th Army major equipment strategic bombers, a rare fighter; In contrast, mixed with a large number of fighters and fighter-bomber of the 16th Army, more suitable for fast-break-intensive NATO air defense systems.
