Discover the power of Russian stealth fighter T-50

According to a statement by Russia's Deputy Minister of Defense, Yuri Borisov, the country will begin mass production of the fifth-generation stealth fighter T-50 in 2016.

The strength of Russian military weapons - Stealth of the 5th generation - T-50

The fifth-generation stealth fighter - T-50 (PAK FA) will be included in the Russian military regime in 2016. With superhuman mobility, difficult to detect by radar, T-50 can fight against fruit at any distance, attacking both aerial and land targets.

Develope

In the late 1980s, the Soviet Union outlined a plan to produce a next-generation machine to replace its MiG-29 and Su-27s as a front-line fighter. Two projects have been proposed for this requirement, the Sukhoi Su-47 and the MiG 1.44 Project. In 2002, Sukhoi was chosen to lead the design of the new fighter aircraft.PAK-FA (or Sukhoi T-50) will integrate technology from both Su-47 and MiG 1.44.

T-50 is expected by the Russian Ministry of Defense to be a formidable opponent of the US F-22 and F-35, so the program of developing this fifth-generation fighter is especially focused by Russia.

Parameter

The T-50 weighs 35 tons and has a maximum payload of 10 tons. It can fly at a maximum speed of 2,600 km / h, reaching a ceiling of 20,000 km and has a range of 5,500 km, while the radar can cover 400 km around the aircraft. T-50 has a total length of 19.8 m (65.9 ft), wingspan: 14 m (46.6 ft), height: 6.05 m (19.8 ft), wing area: 78.8 m² (848.1 ft).

T-50 uses drag vector control motors. The engine direction adjustment allows PAK FA to almost rotate in place. This Izdenie 117 engine (AL-41F1) allows acceleration to supersonic speed without burning and using the system. digital control. However, this is only the first phase - by 2020 the current engine will be replaced by new engines, traction force increased by 25-30% .

Equipment

The fight against the T-50 is expected to be equipped with a 30 mm GSh-30-1 cannon or two guns of this type . The aircraft has 10 racks available in 4 weapons compartments, 6 outside for air-to-air missiles, but usually with extra oil tanks. Weapons contemplated to be able to carry are very diverse, possibly air-to-air missiles such as AA-12 Adder (R-77 or RVV-AE), AA-11 Archer (R-73), AA -10C Alamo (R-27ER1), air-to-air missiles and antiparticles such as AS-17 Krypton (Kh-31), AS-16 Kickback (Kh-15), AS-10 Karen (Kh-25ML).

As a 5th generation fighter, T-50 is equipped with a weapon

The electronic system equipped on T-50 includes: Tape phase array radar X AESA N050: 400 km scanning range, tracking 60 targets and simultaneously destroying 16, L AESA band phase array radar: Specialized item detection Invisibility.ECM electronic countervailing system, integrated electronic system including: Infrared search device (FLIR) OLS-50M, 101KC-D infrared noise device, 101KC-B optical radar equipment, Equipment 101KC-Y optical, 101KC-H air-to-ground navigation device. Radar reflector area: 0.5 m²

Combat features

As a fifth-generation aircraft, the T-50 has pre-radar invisibility capabilities , equipped with modern avionics techniques, digital flight control systems and cruising at super speed. negative.

Interestingly, the stealth ability of T-50. 70% of the aircraft case is made of composite material to reduce the possibility of radar detection. Effective dispersion area of ​​T-50 - important indicator with radar - is 0.5 m2. This means on the radar screen, T-50 is just like a balloon.

Russian T-50 fighters stand out with their invisibility and superior combat capabilities

The T-50 is not merely a fighter, but a multi-purpose fighter , equipped with land-based weapons. Russia may be able to equip the Russian-Indian-built BrahMos supersonic missiles, Kh-35 anti-ship missiles, or "radar killers" Kh-58.

PAK FA can operate at any distance and equips long-range, medium-range and short-range missiles . The long-range R-37 missile has a world record of target attack range - 304km. Medium-range RVV-SD missile (NATO is called Green Snake). Its warhead uses metal bars with miniature accumulations. The metal bars are connected so that when the explosion creates an extended arc, cut off the target.
