FIGHTER T-50 EQUIPPED guided aerial bombs
The latest Russian fifth-generation fighter T-50 will be able to carry out delicate missions deep behind enemy lines. This "News" said Givi Janjgava, general designer and president of Ramenskoye Design Company (RDC), creating on-board equipment for military and civil aviation.
- T-50 - a multipurpose machine capable of solving tactical problems, in addition to air superiority - said the designer. - Because of its invisibility, he will be able to penetrate into enemy territory and to cause pinpoint strikes.
"The specific" capabilities of the newest fighter revealed spotters - Aviation enthusiasts, ready to watch the clock and in any weather with a camera near a fence of civil and military airfields, taking off taking off and sitting down aircraft. On the eve of the Network was shot spotter Mikhail Kuznetsov, who documented the fighter T-50 with tail number "052", taking off from the airfield Gromov Flight Research Institute in Zhukovsky near Moscow. On the external load of the machine have been corrected bombs KAB-500. These are also used by our air and space forces in Syria.
- Fighter undergoing another phase of flight tests, their goal - the confirmation of the aerodynamic qualities of the airplane in different modes of piloting - told "Izvestia" an expert in the field of aviation Andrey Frolov. - The fighter can carry missiles and bombs in internal bays that provide stealth technology. But he has the ability to accommodate additional weapons and on an external sling. It can be as high-precision cruise missiles "Air-air", "air-land", "air-to-ship", and guided aerial bombs. And as the previous and future generations.
- CC-250 has a modular design and can be equipped with high-precision targeting different types of systems: satellite, laser, - says Andrey Fomin Aviation expert. - It was created in response to the US development of guided air bombs family SDB (Small Diameter Bomb), which are equipped with American fighter of the fifth generation F-22 and F-35. Corrected air bombs with laser guidance head and high-explosive fragmentation warhead designed to engage soft-skinned vehicles, railway hubs, warehouses and other enemy targets. Aerial bombs can be used as single, and a volley from an aircraft equipped with airborne laser designators, as well as with external illumination purposes from the ground.
- Stealth aircraft to fly and to "shine" on enemy radars by hanging bombs, on the one hand, it's silly - says Janjgava. - On the other hand, the big question is - does it make sense to sacrifice for the sake of stealth combat aircraft strength, because for some tasks need invisibility, for others - a large payload. So do not think that technology "stealth" - it is such an idol to pray that the developers of modern aircraft in the performance of diverse tasks. And the T-50, and F-22 and F-35 has the ability to external suspension of missiles and bombs. Firstly, often things are changing too fast, and you need to act on the situation, and secondly, there must be eliminated if the goal is not the first, then a subsequent visits. With the cruise missile it is not always possible.
Director General of the corporation "Tactical Missiles" Boris Obnosov says that the fighter T-50 will receive the 2017 six brand new rocket by 2020 - six. Four samples missiles vnutrifyuzelyazhnyh accommodation has been created and tested.
- The weapon is being tested on other planes, and only those species, which will be located inside the fuselage of the aircraft T-50, are tested directly on it - says Obnosov. - For example, anti-radiation missile Kh-58USHK.
Rocket X-58USHK first shown at the aerospace show "MAKS-2015" in Zhukovsky near Moscow. The fundamental difference from their predecessors - the possibility of targeting and guidance even at the time of being in a fighter bay. Another feature - the missiles are "square" cross-section of the body, making them more compact arrangement inside the bomb bay. Another novelty T-50 - "rocket-bomb," "Thunder 2", created on the basis of the Kh-38 missile. In fact it is a rocket with the satellite-inertial guidance system, but in fact - a bomb with a warhead of 250 kg with a total weight of 522 kg of the product. The warhead can be equipped with combat gear with high-explosive fragmentation, penetration, or tape part.
