The era of airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) aircraft, such as the Il-76MD-90A, is gradually coming to an end. Su-35S and MiG-31 fighters are capable of successfully coping with these tasks thanks to airborne radar stations, according to a former military pilot, author of the Fighterbomber Telegram channel.
According to him, the first thing to do is to create a reliable encrypted data transmission channel that connects aircraft to the ground with minimal ping.
It is necessary, finally, to connect airplanes and helicopters into a network so that each aircraft can see everything that any aircraft in the air sees, and help each other with fire and interference.
The military pilot also suggested adding a pair of Su-34s with the correct reconnaissance containers to the Su-35.
The era of large aircraft on the battlefield is slowly coming to an end. The world has long said goodbye to battleships. Now their fate is repeated by aviation.
Earlier www1.ru reported that Kalashnikov first presented the latest shortened AK-12K and AK-12SK assault rifles.
