Not use Indian spare parts. Quality Indian spare parts too poore. I think, that you can see high level accidents with Indian MIGs. It is so India prefer not purchase spare parts in Russia, but made himself.

Re: New interceptors for the Argentine Air Force?

The article below is a reprint from Airforce technology regarding UAV development in Latin America. Enjoy.

Nostromo Yarara Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), Argentina
Yarara is a tactical unmanned aerial vehicle (TUAV) system designed and built by Nostromo Defensa of Argentina to execute intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition and reconnaissance missions. The UAV system incorporates three unmanned aerial vehicles, a ground control station (GCS) and support equipment in three storage boxes weighing 250kg. The TUAV is named after a South American Snake 'Yarara'.

Yarara is the first unmanned aerial vehicle programme launched in Latin America. The vehicle captures real-time colour or infra-red imagery and videos of the battlefield and transmits to the GCS or remote viewing stations via the satellite communication datalink system.

The TUAV can also perform a wide range of missions including force security, convoy protection, battle damage assessment, law enforcement monitoring, infrastructure protection and border patrol.
It flies at a maximum altitude of 9,840ft.

Yarara UAV orders and deliveries
Nostromo Defensa received the first contract from Argentina Air Force (AAF) in March 2011 to design, build and supply three Yarara UAVs. The vehicles will be deployed at the AAF to train pilots of their new UAV school.

Design and development

"The TUAV can also perform force security, convoy protection, battle damage assessment and border patrol."

Designed to suit both military and civilian markets, Yarara can take off and land on unprepared airstrips and grass runways. The TUAV is designed to perform aerial surveys both day and night even in the worst climatic conditions. The landing gear design facilitates the Yarara to execute rough landings and meliorate the operational safety in extreme cross-wind situations. Yarara can be easily transported by ground vehicles and helicopters.

Development of Yarara commenced in 2000. Design work began in 2005. The TUAV was showcased at the AAF Air Show held in August 2006. The maiden flight of the vehicle took place in August 2009.

Features
Yarara features a robust and modular airframe made up of composite materials to reduce its overall weight. A storage box accommodates different parts of the vehicle for assembly and dismantling.
The TUAV is equipped with military grading wiring, flaps, horizontal stabilisers, connectors, batteries, advance avionics, a global positioning system (GPS), multispectral cameras, inertial navigation system (INS) and a 2.4GHz or 900MHz telemetry data transmission system.
Navigation

Yarara can be controlled either manually from the GCS or through autonomous mode using pre-programmed manoeuvres. An automatic take-off and landing (ATOL) system allows the aircraft to land safely during communication failure with the control station.

Sensors
The TUAV is equipped with a Micro Pop electro-optic (EO) and infra-red sensor suite built by Tammam division of Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI).

The EO sensor transforms light energy into an electronic signal that is used for capturing real-time imagery or videos of the battlefield.

Engines
"Yarara can loiter in the air for six hours."

Yarara is powered by a single Sonic 35 multifuelled air-cooled wankel rotary engine which produces 5.9KW of output power. It is also fitted with a three-bladed propeller at the rear of the fuselage section, engine pylon and integral fuel tank.

The engine is designed and built by British Company Cubewano. It is the first kerosene-functioned rotary engine that utilises JP8 as fuel.

Ground Control Station (GCS)
The GCS features a robust laptop, integrated video monitor, advance graphical interface for mission planning and control. It is designed and manufactured by Nostromo Defensa.
Communications between the vehicle and control station are facilitated through an optional digital video datalink within a range of 50km.

Performance
Yarara can fly with a maximum speed of 147km/h. The cruise and stall speeds of the UAV are 115km/h and 45km/h respectively. The range is 50km. The service ceiling is 3,000m. The vehicle can loiter in the air for a maximum of six hours.

If I were a 3rd world air force commander, what is my driving priority, offensive and/or defensive? With a limited budget, I may simply look into spending that money on some good SAM systems.

Not to be contradictory, but the Syrians and the Iraqis both had extensive air defense systems, yet they didn’t do much to stop the Israelis from achieving air superiority and decimating the ground based SAM systems.

Even highly effective defenses have suffered embarrassing failures. Despite the vaunted abilities of Israeli air defenses, in October 1989 a lone Syrian MiG-23 successfully evaded interception by flying at low altitude and landed at an Israeli airfield. Both Korean airliner incidents [1978 and 1983] show the kind of troubles suggest that Soviet air defenses had serious problems. And Soviet air defenses were further embarrassed by the ability of a lone German Cessna aircraft to land in the middle of Red Square. That this was not an isolated failing was demonstrated on 9 June 1990, when the unidentified pilot of another Cessna landed at the airport at Batumi on the Black Sea, placed two bouquets of carnations on the runway, and then took off.

The case for heavy investment in SAM systems is not clear. Given prospective deficiencies in air defense systems, initiatives to build defenses against Strike Aircraft simply distract attention from more immediate matters. An very effective air defenses causes around one quarter of attacking pilots fail to return from their missions. With the continued advancement in ECM and Passive defense system. Will make air defense missile system even less effective.

More practical and effective measures are also available to protect against Strike Aircraft. Passive defenses include the ability to disperse, conceal, and harden the targets that missiles might attack. For a fraction of the cost of high-tech anti-missile weapons, vast amounts of concrete could be poured to make command bunkers and aircraft far less vulnerable to attack by both aircraft and missiles. Such measures would have a vastly greater positive impact on the credibility of a country's deterrent posture than missile defenses.

Re: New interceptors for the Argentine Air Force?

They could buy these jets but it still wouldn't change the balance of power that the Royal Navy holds today's

Recently Royal Navy did a excersize which involved a Eurofighter Typhoon simulating a attack on a surface vessel, that surface vessel was the Type 45 DDG the wolds most advanced air defence destroyer, only only did the Type 45 detect, intercept and shot down the incoming simulated anti-ship missile it also engaged the aircraft which launched it, and in my opinion the Typhoon is second only to the F22 Raptor

Type 45 has a high volume search capability that can detect anything within a 450km radius and even into outer space, it is said that if someone threw a tennis ball up in the air from 20km away Type 45 would see it

HMS Daring worked his year with USS Carl Vinson and USS Abraham Lincoln 2 of USN nuclear aircraft carriers, the captains of the carrier were astonished at Type 45 capability which could also act as a command ship, they could call on this DDG if a Iran launched a saturation missile attack because Type 45 could work with USN carrier strike groups one and nine

Today a single Type 45 working all on its own can protect the entire Falklands islands while maintaining air defence umbrella over itself and other escorting ships, sure we have only 6 but really that is all what we will ever need

Thank you for your post. But as mentioned on previous postings on this thread the main protagonist would be Chile and its force of 48 F-16 (12 new and 36 from Holland). Additional please refrain from dragging the topic into a Malvinas/Falklands debate. I’ve already had to stop them several times in this thread. The topic at had is what aircraft would be a good replacement for the retired Mirage III and V.Thanks

Today England has a different posture to Argentina, plus you do not understand the real limits of each nation.

England will always need to defeat Argentina in a conventional war, plus Argentima never has wanted to extend any military conflict beyond a short period of time.

Argentina is basicly a European nation moved into south america, basically Spain and Italy with a minor western European link.

Therefore any british mishandling will affect the European context of the war since Spain and Italy have very strong cultural and ethnic links in Argentina.

In the Latin American context a british mishandling will shake the american-Latinamerican relationship specially with nation like Brazil, Venezuela and Ecuador.


So britain knows well the limits of their power.

However Argentina has a strong pressure from other European powers like France, Spain or Italy to keep the Falkland issue a diplomatic one, with only Latin America as a direct support in its case against England.

If Argentina buys jets is to keep the british from pumping oil in what SouthAmerica considers their national waters.


Military speaking Argentina never wanted a prolong war, but if you want to know, military speaking niether England or Argentina wanted a long war in 1982.

England has no real advantage military speaking but a war is somthing Argentina does not want for such a reason Argentina has kept it military priorities low

Re: New life to older aircraft

The upgraded MiG-27 enhanced the IAF’s operational capability and successfully engages targets with ease. The avionics in has reduced errors due to better weapon aiming computations and increased navigational accuracy. Considering that the IAF has six MiG-27 fighter aircraft squadrons this avionics upgrade is a ‘force multiplier’ in airpower terms.

: “For air force commanders, superior avionics means that only five MiG-27 aircraft would undertake an offensive mission rather than 10 aircraft due to higher chances of success.”

There are several different companies in India with a wide margin in quality. In Germany, we constantly have news about Chinese poisoning their stuff from food to toys and it seems rather astonishing they remain so numerous. Instead of national slander, please name which company and which component is responsible and show the evidence leading to such a conclusion.
