I can see these being used as a decoy for a mission. Just dump a few canisters of these far off in the opposite direction and wait for the enemy to scramble to intercept, then the real strike planes come in while the defenders are distracted by a wild goose chase.
>>
>>32597456

Not quite. Its about deploying hundreds of drones that deflect radar signatures of attack places yet work together to overwhelm enemy radar's.

Like a simpler version of the US air forces and Navy's MALD drones. theres literally nothing ground based radar can do to defend a sophisticated effort like that.

Yeah, when said defences are 40+ year behind, and manned by poorly trained operators.

Ameriacn air power has been too accustomed to not taking any losses or only very minimal to achieve their goals. That's why they don't dare attack countries like Iran that would make them suffer bigger losses.

Well, MALD had problems with GPS denied areas, however this issue was supposedly fixed in 2015 with software updates for inertial aiding. It can't be controlled after launch, so most possible the only thing jammer can do is to degrade navigation accuracy.

Wow. That is pretty spooky.

So you're telling me that they built some planes under license, and then after the license expired, the planes continued to look the same? They didn't just magically change into some other plane?

>>
>>32602531

The rest of the world calls that theft anon. Whats more, in some cases they cut production short, and changed the designation of the aircraft. See: J-11.

Then, with the J-15, they just bought a prototype and straight copied it.

No, that's a bunch of horseshit.

>>
To >>32600882 in that old thread (>>32598637):

There are active disposable jammers that are already in service, which get deployed from chaff pods. Compared to those expendable jammers, these drones will be less powerful due to them also having to use battery power to fly, as well as fit a motor, prop, wings, flight control sensors / hardware, etc.

These drones will have uses in deception EW, but they wouldn't be terribly effective in defensive jamming.
>>
>>32604331
Begin with accepting the simple fact that drones exist to remove towelheads and are useless in real war.
>sophisticated EW resistant assets the US possess
Only that American EW is aimed at jamming towelhead walkie-talkies, while Russian EW is aimed at defending against NATO attack.

This is total Pentagon bullshit.
Tiny straight wing drones is suppose to keep up with a jet flying at almost Mach 1.
>>
>>32605035
actually this is a perfect example. Russia failed to achieve air superiority against a country that had no fighters what so ever, and only had a few buks. Further their air assets proved to be of limited use, as the war was won on the ground with effectively no CAS missions attempted.

Then lets look at their previous history:
Chechnya II: an opponent with only MANPADs destroyed 45 helicopters and 8 fixed winged craft
Chechnya 1: more than 400 aircraft and hilcopters lost, however 265 of them were captured at the beginning of the war and subsequently bombed by the russians.
Afghanistan: again only manpads, 333 helicopters, 118 fixed wing aircraft

If you want to submit a case where Russian air power has made a not suffered great loses against even a modest air defense network, you would have to go all the way back to never. Russia has never focused on winning a war in the air, and thus their airforce is simply not prepared to try to take on an enemy with even just MANPADs.

>>32602437
Cheap drone - cheap antenna. Cheap antenna - big sidelobes and backlobe. Big sidelobes and backlobe - simplier to jam. Add small power source and relativly primitive hardware. Why hardware is relativly primitive? Military tier hardware is heavy, need a lot of power and has not stunning perfomance. If your small drone uses military tier HW, it's not very powerfull. If your small drone uses civilian hardware - cheap, fast and energy-saving - it is much much more vulnerable to EM fields, G-shocks, temperature changes e.t.c. It means more vulnerable to jamming too.

Except the ranges involved (exceptionally small) means its infinitely more harder to jam the signal.

Jamming needs to increase noise above detection limit ~10times the signal strength. inverse square law says that if a jammer is 1000 times further away, it needs to produce 1000000 more power, coupled with the signal to noise it needs to be about 10000000x. those drone are probably pumping out 1-2watts. That means the jammer would need to be putting out 10GW. That is well beyond anyones current jamming capability.

you still have yet to explain how the russian air force is more suited for fighting other modern armies than the US air force is. You just keep repeating the same things.

and please tell me about the magical russian stealth-nullifying radars.

>the idea is for them to keep up for a few minutes

They can NOT keep up for 1 second.
Have you ever seen a high sub-sonic model airplane in action?
I didn't think so.
Even in the video they were scattering like fireflies in the slip stream.

Plus you run the risk of FOD damage to muh turbofan.

Bro, last time when US air-forces fought against "modern" army, they began with absolute numerical superiority. Let's say, Russians defeated Georians without numerical superiority. Russians are prepared for scenarios which US side will never considered as playable at all - i.e. no absolute numerical superiority on "our" side.
>>32605609
Hello, Ali. Sorry, but it is true, HARM is the list of typical targets for any serious AA defence system made in Russia. I know because I personally asked representatives of developers about this on MAKS.
>>
>>32605662
If you watch the video they are treated more like bombs.

Look at the overview.

lolwut? the russians didn't have numerical superiority of the georgians? oh gimme a break.

>Russians are prepared for scenarios which US side will never considered as playable at all - i.e. no absolute numerical superiority on "our" side.

what exactly makes you think this? Where do you get this idea? The US having VLO fighters and better datalinking makes them much more effective at force multiplication.

The issue with russian SAM complexes is its saturation point is lower than the realistic output of a US strike.

Sure, HARM missiles are included, but when each plane is carrying 4-8, shit is not in the SAMs favor.

Thats the main issue with ground based air defenses, they need to be distributed to have effect, while the attackers does not.

I guess we should just surrender now guys Ivan has us figured out

>lolwut? the russians didn't have numerical superiority of the georgians? oh gimme a break.
Nope, they did not. Remeber - there is only one tunnel which can be used for deployment of troops from Russia to South Osetia. Georgians needed to cut it and it would end conflict. They failed.
Conflict began with apr. 15000 Russian troops in South Osetia and Abhazia vs 17000 Gorgians in South Osetia. And local militia.
58th army indeed has about 70 000 but they were on wrong side of mountains!

I don't think that they can do that anymore. I mean, carry 8 HARMs. Because you know, F-16 are always need to have fuel tanks e.t.c. So, they need to have one or two SEAD planes, then you need two-three planes to protect that SEAD planes, then you need AWACS to provide intel to that group of 4-6 planes, then you want to have distraction group with EW pods and you ended up in situation, where absolute dominance and 100% chance to win is a very fucking expensive. Those drones are way to make this very fucking expensive operation a little cheaper. Russians will spend more money for jamming or laser cannons, or something and everything will return to situation where it's just too fucking expensive to attack Russian IADS. Good thing - Russian IADS is unique and you can use this drones against any other enemy on planet. Making operation against pretty well equipped AA defences cheaper.

I know you're a 50center but that music is surprisingly good.
>>
>>32606117
Us development is less about cost and more about capability.

Furthermore, MALDs give you more bang for your buck then these small drones. They would have a hard time moving ahead of said planes and doing their thing.

4 HARMs, 2 tanks and 3 jammers, 2 heaters is pretty typical for a wild weasel.

Not to mention all the stealth taking out key points in such a network the night the fight goes hot.

>>32607423

Less than 19k Russian troops of 58th Army were present in South Ossetia and Abkhazia throughout the entire conflict. Georgia had there 17k, and other 11k deployed in Iraq.

They counted ALL 58th army, dumbfuck. Which was ON OTHER SIDE OF MOUNTAINS. And needed to be relocate by using 1 (one) tunnel. Russians do not have teleportation technology.

There are 100-120 divisions of S-300 (including s-300v4 with 400km range sams). which equals 1000 launch pads, 4 missiles in 4 tubes accordingly. Which translates into 4000 currently armed and loaded missiles. The missiles are mostly 48N6dM (280km) and 9M82MV (400km). Wikipedia will give you the number of 1900 launch pads, but that includes systems in storage and obsolete ones like S-300PT/PS/PMU, S-300V, etc. Then there are 23 divisions of S-400, which is 184 launch pads with 4 missiles in each. If math holds true those are 736 currently loaded missiles.

And those are just S-300/400 without whole set of mid-to-low range air-defense like Buks, Pantsirs and Tors. Just loaded ones, google how long it takes to reload S-300/400 if you like. Just a fraction of ground assets alone, without the Russian air force.

So the issue with US SEAD is that USAF will run out of aircraft before making a dent in IADS. American air force will be simply annihilated if it ever finds gut to oppose anyone other than poor arabs.

You're conveniently leaving out the shiny new railroad that had just been built (for civilian purposes, we promise!) at great expense.

It's completion made it obvious that Russia was going to invade, sometime within the next few months.

The rest was maskirovka.
>>
>>32607758
Great job completely missing the point. Nobody said the russians lacked numbers.

The issue is they cant use those numbers as effectively as planes can. They have to be distributed. Its not like those 700 missiles are all in one place. With aircraft, you CAN focus to one place (within reason).
>>
>>32609975
>With aircraft, you CAN focus to one place
And will face the same layered air defence. The real issue is that you seem to think S-300 is the only system.

A lot of people here do not have any basic understanding of how drone jamming and drone swarms operate.
