T-50 PAK-FA's conceptual cockpit displays ?

f35 cockpit display is much better than dis.

the THAADS radar has the capability to spy into china< s air space...

i

i like the game that is being played here

china is getting too powerful in respect to her neighbors which is not good for stability

status quo must be maintained otherwise hell will break loose

if japan decides to go for nukes , it has enough plutonium to produce 10,000 300 KT yield nukes,

spike in nationalist in japan , south korea does not bode good for china

these americans r playing a very deep game

if NK gets into a situation like syria or iraq , millions of N koean refugees will head for eastern china , it will cause turmoil as eastern china is the richest parts of china and important for her economy.

etc
etc

anyways things r not good in south asia too,
my feeling is that region is heading for a war soon in next 5 years

i dont think that is the final cockpit , pakfa has not reached production stage yet , the cockpit design will change / improve inevitably .

this is a order of progression to any design

designs r not static , provided there is room for improvement

beautiful cockpits wont win wars

functional cockpits will

nemesis2u:
south african nukes

in the pics casings actually , looks like gun type fission devices

last pic vaults for dissembled nuke cores most probably

one of the difficult things in nukes is to design the high voltage triggering mechanism , if the triggering sequence is out of sync even by 1 milliseconds the bomb will fizzle out

What happened to the designers?

Yeah, we know, but beautiful cockpits are good for the cameras.

I don't think i like this recent trend of single panel MFD, it is too much information and might not be great in a tensed combat situation.

Nemesis, why haven't we seen a double seat F-35, nobody seems to have asked this question? A simulator can never be the same as the real thing.

What is your assessment of the recent trend in the use of a single MFD? The Americans have pioneered it, the Europeans and Chinese are doing it. Maybe even Russia would come on board.


How does the PAK-FA compare with the F-35?

You can answer these questions in detail and each in a single quote.

u meant my signature literature /essay manner ?



ONE how ?

u have 3/4 MFDs giving u info separately,

in single MFD u have the same info fused and presented right before u in a seamless integration of all available data , so which one is better.

TWO gotta ask the question to LM

F35 pilots wont be rookie pilots they will be experienced ones from F15/16/18 platforms who will train in sophisticated simulators before proceeding to f35.

cost cutting measure most probably

THREE depends ,on the aircraft designers and the aircraft requirements , single MFD is the trend as it has its advantage , it takes data fusion to its logical end , whats the point of data fusion if u cannot have the integrated data presented to u in a seamless manner for utilization. plus it offers advantage in SWaP (Size, Weight & Power Reduction)

FOUR f35 is single engine MWF, PAKFA is 2 engine HWF so wrong to compare both becz pakfa is still in prototype stage .let pakfa become operational then maybe we will know for sure .

dont know why u guys like comparison so much and can anybody compare 2 different types eq rat and elephant

Nice vid! we forget,though all our fav specops are only human! An uncle who trained with French in the 80s told me of an FFL saying-"it takes 7 years ton train a soldier but only a second to kill him."
Btw,ever hear of the mystery of the missing 30 k$ entrusted to the SEALS during the Capt.Philips issue?
The military said SEAL snipers killed a trio of pirates in a tense standoff. Three shots, three kills. It was the lethal, coordinated precision that has made SEALs famous and feared.

It was an unbelievable story, with a new retelling that hits the big screen Friday with Tom Hanks playing Capt. Richard Phillips. But the official version that unfolded in the Indian Ocean wasn't as tidy as Hollywood's, or the versions in Phillips' own book or in contemporaneous news reports. In fact, many more than three shots were fired, $30,000 went missing and the integrity of the SEALs was questioned.

Nemesis2u have you seen the latest offering from Beriev,makers of your excellent Phalcon A50E?

An entire range of multirole amphibs with WIG aspects for MPA,light,medium and heavy lift. Still in production,when the 6 turbofan Be 2500 comes out in a couple of years it'll carry a 1000 T payload with access to most major ports with interesting implications on the future of air sea logistics.

In life things are never as they seem. Narratives more often not deliberately grossly misrepresented and reality is turned totally upside down. The Tutsis did it when their 1990 invasion finally succeeded in 94 turning into a bloodbath when they shotdown Habyarimans's plane,in the process morphing into 'survivors/heroes and angels.'
The Germans were tricked into invading Poland when 60k of their citizens were slaughtered in the Danzig corridor thus starting WW2 and have borne the brunt of defamation,lies and slander ever since. The N Koreans are fellow travellers in the kaleidoscope of false history as Hutus and Germans-yes,they invaded S Korea in 1950 kicking off a US led UN war to expel them but what developed is one of the greatest WAR CRIMES.
Between 10 to 15%,some say up to 20% of N Koreans were napalmed and blown to pieces by the USAF during the 3 year struggle.

How many Americans know that “over a period of three years or so,” to quote Air Force General Curtis LeMay, head of the Strategic Air Command during the Korean War, “we killed off … 20 percent of the population”?

https://theintercept.com/2017/05/03/why-do-north-koreans-hate-us-one-reason-they-remember-the-korean-war/

Rusk, who was a State Department official in charge of Far Eastern affairs during the Korean War, would later admit that the United States bombed “every brick that was standing on top of another, everything that moved.” American pilots, he noted, “were just bombing the heck out of North Korea.”

Douglas visited Korea in the summer of 1952 and was stunned by the “misery, disease, pain and suffering, starvation” that had been “compounded” by air strikes. U.S. warplanes, having run out of military targets, had bombed farms, dams, factories and hospitals. “I had seen the war-battered cities of Europe,” the Supreme Court justice confessed, “but I had not seen devastation until I had seen Korea.”

To date,the then US commander Mac Arthur is still much loved and actually advocated use of nukes:

MacArthur, who led the United Nations Command during the conflict, wanted to drop “between 30 and 50 atomic bombs … strung across the neck of Manchuria” that would have “spread behind us … a belt of radioactive cobalt.”

And then there's the small matter of trillions worth of Rare Earth Metals the Anglo Zionists are salivating over.

It has long been known that North Korea sits on top of significant REE reserves, among other minerals, however SRE Minerals’ estimate is significantly higher than previously thought. Theoretically, the discovery could break China’s stranglehold on the REE market, as North Korea would have over six times the amount of REEs as does Beijing. Moreover, environmental regulations and labor conditions would not be a factor in mining them in North Korea, as they are in many developed countries.

You are realised the SANDF troops in the DRC are part of the UN mission. Plus a smaller number to train FARDC.

South Africa isn't even the biggest troop contributor in the DRC.

Russian contribution is the IL 76 platform .
radar , processors, op. consoles etc being Israeli
with the encryption modules , secrecy systems and datalink being Indian .

anyways Russia has some very good concepts with a few in various stages of development , but the projects r suffering from delays due to cash crunch as a result of sanction.

success of Be 2500 is dependent not on capabilities solely

but on its overall operational availability , cost effectiveness , turn around time , successful Russian marketing , good support services from the OEM etc etc

Guys, a Swedish firm is interested In getting into the Nigerian defence sector.


The firm is a manufacturer of light-weight, high performance gyro-stabilized electro-optical systems with both EO and IR capabilities. And also, small, light-weight long-wave thermal imagers.

What are the ways they can fully tap into the Nigerian defence space?

nemesis you are needed here ooo

gabng:


A firm I am involved in was contacted by them to be a Nigerian partner.

They already export to other countries/clients.

What local content can be infused in the partnership.

since the foreign firm contacted ur company in the first place ,

then its given that they did their homework , they already have the detailed outline as to the work share / role being envisaged for ur firm

it will now depend on ur company to do an internal audit of its capabilities ,negotiate their level of involvement in the proposed tie up.

generally if a company is new to a certain sector , and they decide to tie up with a foreign company then they usually at first go for sales and servicing of relevant products identified as best suited for the countries armed forces. this may involve customization's and setting up of considerable MRO facilities which increases the learning curve .

this gets the local company significant exposure/insight and allows them to tailor their strengths, so as to increase their level of involvement in the project both technically and financially in a gradual manner within reasonable investments.


since the foreign firm is a manufacturer of light-weight, high performance gyro-stabilized electro-optical systems with both EO and IR capabilities. together with small, light-weight long-wave thermal imagers.

my advice (if u guys r new to the field ) is to first get together and identify products best suited for ur countries forces , this will require ur company to cooperate with ur forces to access their needs both present and future.

once a portfolio of products r identified , next step is to do the relevant documentation etc so that any customization / improvement needed to make it attractive to ur forces can be identified for subsequent work.

next step is to do documentation on integration and related testing , validation etc

i dont think u guys will go for TOT adhoc , tot will be progressive and matched to ur skills and productionizing capabilities , which will improve over time.

private companies usually play it safe initially , their risk taking /investment is proportional to their profits the get in.


EO systems / imagers r very technology intensive so if u guys want to jump in , be prepared for a long haul , and that is half of the problem integration is also tough becz u will need to take care of the platforms performance with the system installed, possibly with minimum loss of performance etc (u will require experience on the platform)

but never say never

Boeing 707 SASS

Aviation Research Centre (ARC) India used to operate two Boeing 707-337C SIGINT platform in its inventory. They used the aircraft as a Strategic Surveillance Airborne System (SASS) to look deep into the enemy’s territory and gather intelligence.

The B-707s were last used during the Kargil conflict for ELINT operations. These aircrafts played an instrumental role in identifying enemy positions in the mountains and intercepting/ jamming enemy communications while flying at high altitudes.

North Korean and Chinese media were at loggerheads Thursday after Pyongyang's official news agency issued a rare and stinging denunciation of its chief ally and diplomatic backer.

Beijing should be grateful to Pyongyang for its protection, said a bylined commentary carried by the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), warning of "grave consequences" if China tests its patience further.

China's Global Times newspaper retorted that the nuclear-armed North was in the grip of "some form of irrational logic" over its weapons programmes.
