AN/ASQ-242 Communications, Navigation, and Identification System The CNI system (Fig. 14) is an integrated subsystem designed to provide a broad spectrum of: 1)secure/anti-jam/covert voice and data communications, 2)precise radio navigation and landing capability, 3)self-identification...

AN/AAQ-37 Electro-Optical Distributed Aperture System The DAS provides: Missile detection and tracking Launch point detection Situational awareness IRST & cueing Weapons support Day/night navigation The program required a 360-degree spherical coverage missile warning system. The EO DAS...

AN/AAQ-40 Electro-Optical Targeting System (EOTS) Features • Rugged, low-profile, faceted window for low-observable performance • Compact single aperture design • Lightweight • Advanced sensors • Air-to-surface/air-to-air FLIR tracker and air-to-air IRST modes • Modular design for two-level...

DM53 is gross exaggeration. As I said penetration is more or less equal to penetrator length and decreasing diameter is reducing penetration. DM53 is 12.5% longer than DM43 but in same time 5% slower and slightly less diameter. So overall should be very minor increase of penetration - about...

2 km. Overall penetration is about equal to penetrator length.

I've seen these numbers. They look more or less reliable. DM-13 (1979) - 380 mm DM-23 (1983) - 470 mm DM-33 (1987) - 550 mm DM-43 (1994) - 590 mm DM-53 (1999) - 650 mm DM-53/L55 (2005) - 710 mm Here data about size and speed: http://www.kotsch88.de/m_120_mm.htm

Costumized version means u can change characterists to actual ones. What do u see in public version is noting but wild guess. I showed additional armor. It provides some 200 mm vs KE.

This is A5 add on armor: Not something spectacular.

Numbers u posted are from public version and noting but wild guess. Leopard 2A0-A4 versions also had 55 tonn. And they are larger: more armor needed for same level of protection. That means basic Leclerc has better protection than A4. As I said, adding armor to Leclerc is very easy: just...

These are video game numbers. Thanks to modular design and large weight reserves Leclerc can be easily uparmored.

There was claim in some magazine that Merkava 4 costs 20 mln shekels, thats around 6 mln dollar. But that was very old report plus figure is very rounded. I guess actual figure today is around 10 mln $. These armor and penetration figures are mostly pure speculations. I like about Leclerc its...

Newly produced western tanks cost more or less same (around 10 mln today). German Leopards on the other hand mostly were sold from German army stocks.

Leclerc is one of the best tanks in the world, often underestimated.

2nd generation. Kill vehicles with IR seeker. The first interceptor of new generation was US ASM-135 ASAT missile. It was 2 stage antisatellite missile launched from jet fighter. For the first time ever it was equipped with special kill vehicle with IR seeker and was intended for kinetic hit...

1st generation. Radio command guidance with nuclear warhead. First long range SAM in the world was US two stage MIM-14 Nike Hercules which entered service in 1958. Computer modulation showed that with nuclear warhead it could be used against ballistic missiles as well. In 1960 happened first...

F-16XL had 5731 kg of internal fuel compare to 4634 kg for F-16 with CFT (which seriously increase drug). Empty weight just slightly more - 9988 kg vs. 9208 kg for block 52+. Wing area - 58.8 m2 vs. 27.87 m2. High swept wing allowed much smoother ride at high speeds and low altitudes.

F-16 variants overview: The Initial F-16A/B: * AN/APG-66 pulse-Doppler fire-control radar * F100-PW-200 turbofan, rated at 12,240 lb.s.t. dry, 14,670 lb.s.t. full military, and 23,830 lb.s.t. with afterburning. * Singer-Kearfott SKN-2400 INS, UHV/VHF comms suite, ILS, TACAN, a Dalmo Victor...

AN/ASQ-239 Electronic Warfare / Countermeasures system The AN/ASQ-239 EW/CM system is an integrated suite of hardware and software. It is optimized and designedto provide the F-35 with a high level of A/A and A/S threat detection and self-protection. It can search, detect, identify, locate, and...

1. Not every AESA can work as jammer. Plus very few fighters beside US have AESA. 2. F-35 makes sensor fusion of all 5 systems listed above + external data.
