Secretive "attacker" missile defense system based on the Su-57. Project, announced VCS RF

Secretive «burglar» PRO on the base Su-57. Project, announced VCS RF

undoubtedly, recently announced by the Deputy Defense Minister Russia Alexey Krivoruchko for submittal combat units VKS Russian first production of multifunctional Su-57 "first step" (equipped with two engines AL-41F1 / "Article 117") allowed to breathe a sigh of relief is not one thousand Russian commentators and experts, previously outright violation information alarmed operation wire control system mechanization or tail of a preproduction copies Su-57, leading to the entrance of the machine in a flat spin and the subsequent collapse in the vicinity of Komsomolsk-on-Amur.

Apparently, in this situation, it was only on the impact ordinary "childhood diseases" computerized FBWCS or tail nodes mechanization Su-57, which can be eliminated as soon as possible, either by a minor software upgrade wire control system, either by eliminating malfunctions in the control mechanisms of tail.

The most compelling argument in favor of this conclusion is the surprising conclusion of the contract between the Defense Ministry and Algeria and the "Rosoboronexport" for the supply of Air Force Algeria 14 Multipurpose perspective aviation complexes Su-57E export modification. It is logical to assume, that the conclusion of such a weighty transaction could take place only after the granting of the Algerian side has not only thorough information on the reasons for the loss of the prototype of the Su-57 "first step", but also a number of guarantees, precluding the emergence of this kind of emergency situations with fighters, to be delivered to combat units of the Algerian air force in the foreseeable future.

Prospects of becoming "on the wing" bundles Su-57 - "Dagger"

On the wave of universal enthusiasm, Displays information on the flow of the first production Su-57 into service VKS Russia in the first half 2020 of the year, as well as the appearance of the first foreign customer reliable operator in the face of the Algerian Air Force special urgency in expert circles and the military-analytical blogosphere sector gained the feasibility of the planned integration Ammunition combatant Su-57 advanced aeroballistic Kh-47m2 "Dagger", what the end of December 2019 year, said a senior Russian VKS in the state chapter of the report to Vladimir Putin. As expected, Information about the upcoming conversion of the serial Su-57 in the media "Daggers" was met with very mixed audience reaction eminent Russian military-technical publications.

In particular, most of the reviewers of the notorious Russian portal "military parity" is very skeptical about the news, came to the conclusion that, what, despite the element base avionics open architecture fighter Su-57, enabling a fast hardware and software WOS adaptation of these machines the use of most types perspective missile, the most suitable carriers for long-range missiles aeroballistic X 47m2 continue to be modified MiG-31K, received a package of hardware and software upgrades and new enhanced ventral suspension assembly to accommodate the 10-flapping offspring KTRV and Kolomna "KBM". And only a small part of commentators favored the realization of this project in the "iron", arguing your opinion, At first, at times smaller radar signature shock "cords" SU-57 - "dagger" in comparison with MIG-bonded 31K - "dagger", Secondly, 2,53-Su-fold superiority in range 57, which will enable a more secretive and deeply into the powerful air defense zone A2 / AD potential enemy.

And indeed, At first glance the above skepticism most of the audience has the right to exist, due to a number of compelling justifications. More massive and robust power components of the airframe of the MiG-31K, made of stainless steel (50%), aluminum alloys (33%), titanium (16%) and composite materials (about 1%) is the best adapted to the installation of heavy hardpoints missile X 47m2 "dagger". With safety factor worthy, fuselages of MiG-31K will provide attachment sites "Daggers" impressive resistance to excessive stress, carriers arise when performing maneuvers with congestion 3-4G.

In the case of engagement Su-57 fighter as carriers for aeroballistic Kh-47m2 situation is not so unambiguous. The structural strength of the center-T-50 in the intended point suspension assembly "dagger" editing not absolutely "sharpened" for placing cargo with similar weight and size parameters (mass of the order of 3.5-4 m and the length 6,5 m), which ultimately can lead to a well-known phenomenon of the so-called break a glider near vnutrifyuzelyazhnyh compartments weapons while performing maneuvers with overloads of more than 2-3 units.

Nevertheless, taking into account the extremely small total effective reflective surface of the shock cords Su-57 - "Dagger" (0,3-0.4 square. 13-15 sq m against. m at the ligaments of the MiG-31 - "Dagger"), due to a low radar signature promising "Drying", as well as through a series of simple mathematical calculations, you can come to a definite conclusion, that carries out relief in flight terrain following mode SU-57 with the "dagger" on the suspension will be detected by radar AFAR-AN / APY-9 deck aircraft AWACS E-3D «Advanced Hawkeye» 250-300 km distance, while MIG-31K X-47m2 will zapelengovan radar data deck air in the region of 550-650 km! It is logical to assume, that in this situation the likelihood of a direct clash with the Su-57 fighter aircraft of the enemy until the descent of "Dagger" with the suspension will be minimized (in comparison with MIG-31K), as well as the need to perform energetic missile maneuvers, capable of provoking phenomenon fracture glider.

This means, that the multi-purpose attack complexes, represented by X 47m2 aeroballistic missiles, integrated into the 5th generation ammunition Su-57, can at times more effectively break through the echelon air defense zone A2 / AD enemy without opening up his own position before entering the starting boundaries deadly "Daggers" in the strategically important objects, located in the rear zone depth. In the same queue, reaches the range of 1800-2000 km Su-57 will provide the maximum "depth pin" "dagger" order 3500 km, excelling in this parameter, even one of the major carriers - long-range bomber Tu-22M3M.
