This news will leave IAF 3rd/4th/4.5th generation fleet shivering in their hangers !
4 of these systems , SPADA-2000 , SA-2 and other systems already with PAF will provide a potent defense against the IAF but the question remains on Missile defense !
It still amazes me that we were without a long range SAM system for long (till date), guess our longest range missile is the age old SA-2.... and now we r considering these beautiful and useful piece of weaponary.... dair aye durust aye
Hi Mr. Black Blood, while these systems are a force multiplier they are not a panacea. The IAF is a very competent air force with access to the latest Israeli/French technology. That means jammers; these SAM systems can be jammed and their radars hit with anti-radiation missiles, which the IAF also has. Take care.
Yes.One aircraft has been dedicated for jamming..the rest for attack.
If the enemy has ECCM, then it is a battle between the two EW warriors. Victory will be determined by creativity as well as technology wielded by either side. If the ECM attack aircraft is damaged or even lost in combat, then the group is in danger.The whole squadron solely depends on one jamming pod attached to one plane..What if it fails or the enemy radars have countermeasures?
There is only one advantage -- a slight one -- that a towed decoy has over an ejected one and that is the towed decoy has the same airspeed as the parent aircraft, making it more difficult for a radar guided missile to discern the two radar objects. The towed decoy can be ejected if necessary.Not sure about the towed decoy..In straight flight,it will work..but if the plane needs to make evasive manoeuvrings or tight turns...The tow may become a hazard and get tangled somewhere....I had seen B-52s video where they launch decoys..But detached decoys...which fly on their own...not towed.
Electronic CounterMeasures (ECM) is broad and that would include the radar warning receiver (RWR) set. Does the JF-17 has a 'built-in' ECM capability similar to an external ECM pod? I doubt it. We can safely assume that it does have an RWR set. The internal volume space of a fighter is very limited, particularly in the forward fuselage section where the cockpit and the avionics bays resides. For self-screening ECM an external pod is necessary. But even if a fighter aircraft can be fitted with some offensive ECM capability, it would still be considerably less capable than an external pod simply because of size.Gambit
i have a question from you regarding ECM pods.
i was going through another forum and came across a comment "China is offering jamming pod with jf-17 this shows that in built ECM capability of jf-17 is not good"
how much there is reality in this statement .do external ECM pod does speak for less capability of in built ECM?
if it is so then our f-16s also carry external jamming pod.does this statement also stand for them?
