The Sukhoi-57 Fighter's Two Hypersonic Missiles That Could Ruin American F-35 Operations
The fighter is set to replace the Sukhoi-27
Flanker and its many advanced derivatives in frontline service over the coming
decades, and will integrate a number of sixth generation technologies such as
artificial intelligence, laser weapons and powerful Saturn 30 engines - all of
which are currently being tested for integration onto the airframe.
It has gained considerable attention for
features including its three dimensional thrust vectoring engines, its
unprecedentedly large internal weapons capacity and its laser defence systems.
While the Sukhoi-57 combat capabilities make it
a leading potential challenger for new American designs, namely the F-35A and
the upcoming F-X sixth generation fighter, an assessment of the aircraft's
weaponry, and in particular the two classes of hypersonic missile it fields,
indicate a potential to seriously disrupt and potentially collapse altogether
combat operations by American stealth fighters without engaging them directly.
Such a capability is particularly useful considering that the Sukhoi-57 is
expected to be overwhelmingly outnumbered in the event of a major war with
NATO.
The hypersonic weapons in question are the Kh-47-M2
Kinzhal air launched ballistic missile and the R-37M air to air missile - both
of which are expected to be integrated onto the Sukhoi-57 before 2025.
Pakistan’s poor quality Made In China missiles
‘not working’
In response to India’s robust air defense
capabilities, Pakistan had inducted a Chinese made Low to Medium Altitude Air
Defence System (LOMADS) LY-80 on March 12 this year. However, in a major
embarrassment to Pakistan, the low-quality Chinese made missiles are reportedly
‘not working.’
The Chinese technicians are in Pakistan for the
past two months making an attempt to repair the systems. To add to it, Pakistan
has placed an order for six more such systems. LOMADS LY-80 capability includes
intercepting and destroying aerial targets flying at low and medium altitudes.
Pakistan has deployed the LOMADS at nine locations in the country with a
Chinese technician team sent to each of these locations to fix the systems.
As per report, Pakistan is desperate for the
Air Defence System and has signed a contract with China for six more of such
systems.
Why Chinese ‘Hunter-Killer’ Tanks Present Big
Challenge To India
China, which perceives India direct competitors
in the regional and global order, is increasingly upgrading its military
arsenal with newer and advanced technologies.
The ZTZ 99A, also known as Type 99A, is one of
China’s latest main battle tanks, with better firepower capabilities and anti-tank
missiles.
Meanwhile, India operates third generation
Russian made T-90 while Chinese One of the most advanced battle tanks, Type-99
is a product of the military modernization of PLA.
It comes with improved gun carriers, a more
powerful 1500 hp engine along with an integrated propulsion system, an
independent commander’s sight, and a laser warning receiver.
In February 2021, Type 99A was deployed at high
altitude border frontiers, near Karakoram Pass, amid the border standoff with
India poses huge security threat to India.
Israel Military Deploys HighTech ‘Jaguar’ Robot
To Patrol Gaza Border
Israel has reportedly developed a high-tech semi-autonomous
unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) to gain an advantage over asymmetrical warfare.
Called ‘Jaguar’, the Israel Defense Forces
claim it to be “one of the first military robots in the world that can
substitute combat soldiers”.
This new semi-autonomous robotic ‘Jaguar’
system will be able to detect and destroy enemy targets remotely. It will be
equipped with antitank 7.62 mm MAG machine gun, high resolution cameras,
state-of-the-art communication transmitters, powerful headlights, and a remote-controlled
PA system for operational purposes.
While the command and control of firing at the
target will be purely manual and according to human discretion.
Pakistan Army inducts first batch of Chinese VT-4
battle tanks
The Pakistan Army has formally inducted the
first batch of the China made VT 4 battle tanks into its armoury.
Produced by Chinese state-owned armoured
vehicle manufacturer, Norinco, the delivery of VT-4 tanks from the manufacturer
began in April last year. Pakistan is the third country to have bought these
tanks from China after Thailand and Nigeria.
The Army after its on-field tests in September
last year had said the tanks would be employed in an offensive role by strike
formations after induction. “The VT 4 is compatible with any modern tank in the
world integrating advanced armour protection, manoeuvrability, firepower
capabilities and state-of-the-art technology.
Pakistan has been buying various weapons from
China which has become its reliable partner in the defence field.
