New Russian planes questions???

[HanibalBG]

I have I few questions regarding the new Russian planes late versions of Su-27/30/32, mig-29/33/35, yak-130 and so on.

1. How is the graund crew performing field diagnostics on the planes? Diferences whit western jets JAS-39, Mirage-2000-5, Eurofither, so on?

2. What is the radar warning sistem on the new Su-27family and Mig-29family(and a spesialy the new Mig-35)? And if eny one knows any spesifications?

3.What are the bild in radar jamers on those planes?And if any one knows how powerfull they are?

4.And what is cost of the new Russian jets. And if someone knows how are they diferent from the rest of the world.

I will realy apreshiet if some one shears some info. TNX.

Here's something for your questions...

1. The maintenance procedures and especially the equipment have evolved since the collapse of the days of cold war...Basically,new Sukhois and MiGs have very much the same and comparable field diagnostic systems than the most Western jets...In other words the planes have their inside-built BIT (Built-In-Testing) systems to self-diagnostic all the systems for the pilot before take-off and keep an eye on everything during the whole flight and indicates faults if occurs. For the maintenance personnel this is a great help! When the plane comes down and pilot says that there's something wrong a maintenace personnel can check fault codes from the BIT system by a singel button and this see what caused the problem. If there's something bigger, they can link a laptop to the plane's system and see more specificly the problem and trobleshoot it. After finding the fault system in one case you just need to replace a LRU (Line Replacable Unit) box and test it, and this takes just a little time and the plane is ready again...So, there's many onbpard diagnostic systems to keep an eye on the systems...This eases very much the line maintenance between flights when basically you just need to check the BIT codes to see if there's any faults...It tells you nearly everything from lubrication oil level to the bigger master computer faults etc...

2.It seems that the new L-150 Pastel RWR is to replace the older L-006 Beryoza system and is incorporated to the new planes and upgraded ones...It is in SU-30 series and in the SU-27SM version...It is roughly in the same ring with the Western RWRs...Hard to say because of the classification...Of cource the most modern Western jets like the Typhoon has still more advanced systems and capability to detect even LPI radars etc. but the Russian equpment is still good against conventional radars and propably will be capable of LPI detection in future...

Phazotron and NIIP demonstrated working AESA prototypes years ago. If your engineers can mount up an AESA radar with low-powered beams and frequency shiftings, then your engineers can mount up an RWR unit sensing that kind of radar.

That's what West thought when they equipped their planes with ESA radars in mid-90's. But combat mockups and several other "meetings" showed that good'ol Beriyoza SBO-15 had no problem of intercepting their signals.

And you believe that...?

Sweet, thank you osuorsa.

Believe what?

Sweet, thank you osuorsa.

You welcome...hopefully I helped with something...I'll try to get more information...
