Compared: Su-30MKI vs J-11B
Maneuverability
No need to argue that the Su-30MKI to say is the most powerful variant of the Su-30 family that had built Sukhoi. India is a strategic partner of Russia is particularly important, so do not be surprised when they spent New Delhi for the special offers.
Su-30MKI is developed on the basis of the framework of the Su-27 fighter this share to 85% hardware fighter 4 + + generation Su-35 modernization of Russia. Su-30MKI most used electronic systems produced by India, later upgraded variant uses electronic systems mixture Russia - France - India - Israel turned its fighters into multi nationality.
At maneuverability with canards, thrust vector engines, the Su-30MKI clearly superior to J-11.
Strengths of the Su-30MKI of the aerodynamics is equipped with canards help supplement this fighter more maneuverable in close-range combat situations. In addition, the Su-30MKI is equipped with AL-31FP engines with thrust vector capability. That is, the engine nozzle capable of moving up and down in the plane ± 15 degrees (this engine was a precursor of the engine thrust vector control manifold).
The combination of canards with thrust vector engines for Su-30MKI to be superior in air combat situations. Meanwhile, the J-11 does not have canards, though it inherited characteristics Vietnam aerodynamic advantages of Su-27 family, but not by maneuverable Su-30MKI.
On the other hand, only J-11 is equipped with AL-31F engines do not have thrust vector capability, equipped with the WS-10A engine produced by China are even worse. In terms of maneuverability, formidable Su-30MKI than J-11.
Avionics
Su-30MKI is equipped with electronic systems multinationals (Russia, France, India and Israel), while the J-11 is equipped with electronic systems mainly due to Chinese manufacturers.
"Heart" of the Su-30MKI's radar phased N011M Bars passive electronically, this is a multi-mode radar with digital dual-band.
N011M Bars provide supervisory regime for not, the sea, the land at the same time. Radar is capable of detecting targets at distances up to 400km, track targets at a distance of 200km and 60km Hemisphere Hemisphere before then. N011M capable of tracking 15 targets and attack four targets simultaneously.
Help for N011M Bars radar station is located OLS-30 laser optics, this is a combination of search systems and infrared target designation system IRST and laser target designation. Target detection range of up to 90km OLS-30, target displayed on the LCD screen in the cockpit similar to radar.
"God's eyes" of the Su-30MKI (on) more powerful in every way than the kind of J-11B (below).
Meanwhile, J-11 is equipped with radar N001V TS101M processor is only capable of simultaneously tracking 10 targets and guide missiles kill a single target. Radar is capable of detecting the target area radar 3M2 feedback reach 100km range hemisphere hemisphere before and after 40km, the search range is 240km maximum target.
Variations improved J-11B is equipped with radar N001VE processor is capable of guiding the missile attack two targets simultaneously. Support for the radar system N001V/VE search and target designation OLS-27 infrared search range up to 70km target.
In electronic systems Su-30MKI continues outperformed J-11, upgraded variant Sukhoi Su-30MKI Super will be equipped with radar active phased electronic AESA radar Zhuk-EA is more powerful.
weapons
Basically, weapons payload of Su-30MKI and the J-11 is similar (8 tons). However, the Su-30MKI is equipped with weapons that have dreamed J-11 does not have to be. One of the weapons "independent" of the Su-30MKI is a supersonic cruise missile BrahMos.Voi 300km range, BrahMos is indeed "a nightmare" for any objective ground / sea level to.
Besides, India also plans to integrate Nirbhay cruise missile with a range of 1,000 km to the Su-30MKI. India also offered with MBDA Group (Europe) to integrate "assassins kill up" Brimstone for the Su-30MKI fighters.
Meanwhile, ground-attack weapons and the most powerful strength that J-11 can be used as cruise missiles, ground attack Kh-59 at a range of 115km, along with anti-radar missiles Kh-31P.Xet the possibility of soil, J-11 is very much underdogs against Su-30MKI.
Su-30MKI can carry more weapons that J-11 can not get, such as missile BrahMos supersonic anti-ship missiles, A2A long-range missile Novator K-100, ASTRA.
Back-to-air weapons, in addition to the main missile like R-73, R-27, R-77 that the Su-30MKI and the J-11 is equipped with the Su-30MKI is a weapon of "crisis" other J-11 does not have the missiles do not reach super far Novator K-100.
Novator K-100 has a range of up to 300 kilometers, is specially designed to destroy aircraft commander and early warning of enemy air (AWACS). In addition, India also offered to help integrate group MBDA missiles Meteor was not out of sight range of 100 km for the Su-30MKI. With no weapons of Su-30MKI continues outperformed J-11.
ASTRA is designed to destroy targets from a distance of 20-110km with a maximum operating altitude of 20-35km.
India has also proposed MBDA Meteor missile integrated into SU-30MKI fighter of them
J-11B
In mid-2002, SAC unveiled its intention to build an upgraded multirole version of the J-11 by revealing a mock-up aircraft carrying various types of air-to-air and air-to-surface missiles. Russian sources also confirmed that SAC was pursuing a multirole variant of the J-11 designated J-11B with much greater Chinese-made content. At least three examples (#523, #524, and #525) of the J-11B have been delivered to the China Flight Test Establishment (CFTE) for flight test and evaluation since 2006. The aircraft was based on the Su-27SK/J-11 airframe, but with the following modifications:
An indigenous multifunctional pulse-Doppler fire-control radar reportedly capable of tracking 6~8 targets and engaging 4 of them simultaneously;
An indigenous digital flight-control system;
A Chinese copy of the Russian OEPS-27 electro-optic search and tracking system;
A strapdown INS/GPS navigation system;
A ‘glass’ cockpit featuring four colour multifunctional displays (MFD) and a wide-angle holographic head-up display (HUD);
The difference in the electronic system than the Su-27 include:
- A system that detects targets by Chinese IRST Infrared alternative design for OLS-27 system.
- A phased array radar similar to radar Zhuk-27, it covers your specific system distinguishes IFF.
- Pressurization and oxygen systems integrated in the new J-11B OBOGS appear before Russian equipment similar system in their products.
- The glass cockpit is designed quite nicely with asymmetrical layout is completely different from the variant and the Su-27SMKs Su-30MKK/MK2.
- A system of missile warning sensor optical Maws was declared operational in the ultraviolet spectrum.
- Dielectric sheet stability not seen in any of the Russian variant.
Thus, the J-11B can be seen as an offshoot of the Flanker family is not entirely a copy of the Su-27SK.
The aircraft could carry the Chinese-made PL-8 IR-homing SRAAM and PL-12 active radar-homing MRAAM for air-to-air combat. While the PLAAF currently has the capability for two-target engagement using the Su-27/-30 and R-77 (AA-12 Adder) combination, successful integration of the PL-12 on the J-11B would likely provide a genuine multi-target engagement capability. The J-11B is also expected to have enhanced air-to-surface attack capabilities with the indigenous precision strike ammunitions such as LT-2 laser-guided bomb, the LS-6 precision-guided glide bomb, the YJ-91 (Kh-31P) anti-radiation missile, and the KD-88 air-to-surface missile.
During the 6th Zhuhai Air Show held between 31 October and 5 November 2006, China revealed first official details about the indigenously developed FWS-10A ‘TaiHang’ turbofan engine. The engine had already been successfully tested on a modified Su-27K fighter and possibly on some J-11 airframes too. The engine is understood to be similar to the Russian Lyulka-Saturn AL-31F turbofan engine in both technology and performance. However, it is unclear whether the FWS-10A has already been fitted on the 'indigenised' variant of the J-11.
On a side specs alone, the
Su-30MKI must stomp J-11 in all indicators. However, anyone who would win in a real dogfight if it depends on many factors other objective and subjective.
