ВКС будущего: три простых шага для повышения эффективности боевой авиации России

Reconnaissance aircraft, longer-range aerial bombs, and the production of the Su-57 are needed

Russian military aviation performs a wide range of tasks on the battlefield. However, to increase its efficiency, there are several simple steps that will significantly increase the bombing, fighter, and reconnaissance potential, according to military expert Sergei Marzhetsky.

According to him, the Russian Aerospace Forces need a light and relatively inexpensive tactical AWACS aircraft with a radar fixed above the fuselage in the form of a fixed ridge.

We will definitely not see mass production of the A-100 "Premier", but an air reconnaissance aircraft with the ability to control and provide data for targeting is needed on a truly massive scale, in the dozens. It can be made on the basis of the Il-114-300 civilian aircraft.

Secondly, it is necessary to increase the range of planning aerial bombs and other interspecific ammunition by equipping them with power plants and powder accelerators. This would allow Su-34 fighters to operate from the greatest possible distances, saving aircraft and their pilots. Thirdly, Marzhetsky said it was right to give the green light to the light tactical fifth-generation Su-75 fighter.

This budget single-engine aircraft was originally developed on an initiative basis for foreign customers, but practice has shown that its tactical and technical characteristics could best play out in modern combat conditions.

This fighter is 80% unified with the heavy Su-57, but is significantly cheaper than its older twin-engine brother in terms of acquisition and subsequent maintenance. Its combat radius and low radar signature allow it to solve a wide range of tasks. A huge advantage of the "Checkmate" is the presence of an unmanned version, which can be used as a "loyal wingman" for both the 75th and the 57th.
