The AIM-120 AMRRAM is battle proven. The R-77 is not. It'd be difficult to do a fair comparison unless if the R-77 is used by Russian air force, not the downgraded export variant(s). If we go by published range of these missiles, the AIM-120 is rated at 32+km, versus R-77 at 90km and R-77M1...

My Dear Brother Miro That's a big statement. How many hours a years do China's pilots get dog fighting? Have China's pilots ever train against other types of aircraft? Does China's Su-27/30s use AA-10s or AA-12s? Has any Pak F-16s ever visited China? So how do you know they can...

KS-172 (AAM-L) and R-37 (AA-X-13 ) are the Russian missiles that are mainly designed for destroying western AWACS. The KS-172 is the air-to-air variant of S-300V/SA-12, and R-37 (AA-X-13 )is upgraded from R-33 (AA-9). KS-172: Manufacturer: Novastor Length: 6 m Diameter: 0.4 m Weight: 700...

So the F-16 with APG-80 would have no radar range disadvantage against the Su-30MKI. Add to that: the F-16 has an AESA radar, which is harder to jam and detect. the F-16 has a much smaller RCS, so its ECM would be more effective. ( and jamming power decreases in 1/r2 so theoretically since...

According to the military information I've gotten: # The frontal RCS of the fighters: 1. Su-30MK: 10.0~15.0 m2+ 2. Su-35 with LO enhancement: 3.0 m2 3. MIG-29S: 5.0 m2 4. MIG-29SMT with LO enhancement: 1.0~1.2 m2 5. F-16 series: 1.0~1.2 m2 # The air-to-air detection capability of...

Here is Something interesting USAF vs. Indian Air Force -- Cope India 2005 by Trent Telenko at December 5, 2005 04:55 PM First, The USAF is not bringing all of it latest equipment to the Cope India exercises. In neither Cope India 2004 nor Cope India 2005 did the USAF bring in its AIM-120...

NEW DELHI SEPT. 5. The only complete squadron of India's frontline Sukhoi-30 fighters has been grounded following detection of "nicks'' in the engine blades. The Indian Air Force wants the defective parts replaced free of cost but the manufacturers are reluctant because the warranty...

As far as my opinion is concern I wouldn't want my life to depend on having to keep a tally on an F-16 in wvr combat. You loose sight of it, it could be all over for you. On the other hand the big SU would be easier to keep a tally on. If you have the opportunity,.... sit in a SU- single...

Is it possible to compare F-16 with SU-30. Plese Post Factfull Post Regards, Tiger Edit: You guys make discuss Su-30 versus any aircraft in PAF inventory in this thread.

My Dear Bro Miro We areTalking About the Comparison of Mig-29 versus F-16 Not IAF Mig-29 vs PAF F-16 so please be careful and also tries to post logical and factfull post becoz we are dicussing two fighters not two countries I think you have a lack of Military knowledge Please Seach the web...

N. S. Kohli Wednesday 13, July 2005 Source: Daily Excelsior Captain Richard Sharpe in the editorial of the 2003-04 editions of Jane's Fighting Ships had bemoaned the decline of the Indian Navy. Ships under construction are running behind schedule, those in service are suffering from lack...

The Mig-29 has, of course, huge upgrade capabilities like the OVT wich berkut mentioned. the SMT/UBT, the M/M2 and the K/KUB are very good upgrades as well. But this new Mig-29-generation hasn't very much success yet. the Russian AirForce is not sure about upgrading their Mig-29. the...

The MiG-29 has 7 external loading points while the F-16 has 9, two more in other words and that is not including the "chin" points which are used for LDPs like the Sharpshooter/Pathfinder, ATLIS II, LITENING II, Lantrin and others. F-16s have dropped 2000lb laser guided bombs in live combat...

The F-16 carries the AN/APG-66 (latest version) Radar, ALQ-119 Electronic Jamming Pods, AN/ALR-74 RWR, AN/ALE-47 chaff dispenser, and a AIM-120B AMRAAM. It also has greater range, new cockpit displays, an internal sensor suite, a new mission computer, new agile beam radar, etc. The F-16 Block...

Atlast I am finishing My Topic with these following points A)If it is just pure close range ACM, the F7-MG would have big advantage over the -21-93 Even with the -93 having HMS, R60/23, HOTAS, kyopo? etc... etc... I really dont think so. B)Yes I do think so. The F7MG has a very modern...

If it is just pure close range ACM, the F7-MG would have big advantage over the -21-93 and the MiG-23. In the close range area, it is still a deadly opponent even against the Mirage 2000, MiG-29 and even the SU-30, when using the right tactics. This is probably from the experience where in the...

Some Interesting Information First off, there is no MiG-33 and there never will be. There are two versions of the MiG-29 in service, one that might be in (VERY) limiter service and one more to come. These are: MiG-29 9.12 - lots - basic MiG-29 MiG-29 9.13 - lots - adds a rear hemisphere radar...

The aerodynamic configuration including LERX are needed for these manoeuvers. But you still need a FBW system to keep the aircraft controlable for the pilot, so he can recover from it without stalling or entering a spin. The FBW's pitch controls ensures the aircraft from entering negative...

As far as My opinion F-16D Block 50+/60 vs Mig-29SMT. Avionics wise the F-16 wins, and performance goes to the Fulcrum. As for weapon it depends, the AIM-120C has been proven it can hit a fast moving target at a range of 40km. The R-77 is only on paper and have been tested by China but achieved...

actualy the f-16 will win the ACM (dog-fight) at nearly every speed and alt. except for below 250knots where the mig-29 has the advantage. The mig-29 can outpoint a F-16C Block50/52 below 250 knots. This is due to limits employed on the 16s AOA. if AOA limits wernt employed then the 16 would...
