but what kind of radar that can be used?? is there any AESA radar bigger than what currently Wedgetail use?
and also by reconfiguring the aircraft to use advanced Wedgetail hardware's, PT DI and/or CASA have to redesign some parts or airframe that need to be modified right??
more project for...
CN-295 AEW&C, C-295 with advanced hawkeye avionic & sensors instead of the original EL/W-2090
TNI already have those CN295 transport right?
simplify all those logistics issue and stuff, plus it'll meet that High-Low mixed with a little bit of wet dream of E-7 Wedgetail's
yeah, 1 thing from it that good is N219 is making a progress....
not a great one but still, can't expect them to jump that high in such a short time after "sleeping" for a long time...
come on government!!! bring back that N250/N270 or R80 back!!!
at least suntik them for them for the N219...!!
well, if we put that logic to many things then we won't even have that CN235MPA, Anoa, OPV and stuff.....
that's risky yes, but that is the cost of a progress
any way, from your statement you said its political, what kind of issue is it?
international or local crazy bin ajaib political things?
would it be possible to use CN series with Erieye ER radar?
maybe even make a military version of N250 or N270 as an AEW&C aircraft with those Erieye ER radar
that way the platform have more potential other than a conventional transport plane
kinda too small for a MPA aircraft don't you think??
big ocean, lots of equipment and sensors
and they already have CN235 for MPA, why they still need a smaller one?
for US Sensors, yes it is good
but weapons, i prefer the European
Just Brahmos?? no short range SSM like those Exocet?
ok lets compromise,
Medium SAM = HQ-16
LR SAM = HHQ-9
SSM = YJ-12
i believe that they simply wanted higher power to weight ratio.
plus if you compare the dimension, empty weight and full combat weight of Rafale, KF 21 and Super Hornet, Snecma M88 is kinda too small for KF 21
basically Rafale doing it by having a lower empty weight aka a smaller aircraft...
i guess they just have to try it then,
TNI receive their CN 235 MPA in 2013-2014 while the Yakhont fired on 2011
now it's time to give a chance for CN235 and Yakhont (if they still have a stock of it) or Brahmos (if they actually able and allowed to buy it) for an OTHT practice
(which suppose...
how's the correct way to reach that capability??
buy / get an asset for OTHT then get the missile??
i thought they already done that buy buying the CN235 MPA to support OTHT
