In Russia, they wanted to send the Su-57 against the F-35 - В России захотели направить Су-57 против F-35: Оружие: Наука и техника: Lenta.ru:  Translated by google - The American combat strategy of the Trojan Horse, including, in particular, the use of the fifth-generation F-35 Lightning II fighter, will not work in Russia. This was stated by "Star" Doctor of Political Sciences, Colonel Andrei Koshkin reserve.

The expert believes that the deployment of the last complex of Voronezh radar stations near Vorkuta will allow the detection of aircraft, including the F-35 Lightning II, at an altitude of one hundred meters and a distance of more than six thousand kilometers.

“This is an early warning radar, over-the-horizon tracking. It closes the northern part of our territory. This is part of the United States, Canada. That is, it completely provides cover in the direction of the Arctic, where, in principle, there will be routes of ballistic missiles, ”the expert believes.

In his opinion, the low-profile US fighters will be detected long before approaching the airspace of Russia, after which it is possible to use S-300 and S-400 complexes, as well as combat aircraft, against them.

“We also have a Su-57 fighter. This is the fifth generation fighter. The F-35 American is a creeping predator. And the Su-57 is, of course, an attacking predator. It has higher engine capabilities, maneuvering capabilities, and the possibility of an air-to-surface missile strike. That is, a wide range that exceeds the tactical and technical characteristics of the F-35 in many ways, ”the expert believes.

In February, the Chief of Staff of the United States Air Force, General David Goldfein, announced the development by the Pentagon of a strategy of warfare, which provides for a hidden invasion of the enemy rear. Creating a plan will take about a year, costs will amount to 135 billion dollars.

According to open sources, to date, the Russian company Sukhoi has produced ten flight prototypes and three ground-based prototypes of the fifth-generation fighter Su-57. The first production aircraft VKS of Russia should receive in 2019. The second is in 2020.

To date, the American military-industrial company Lockheed Martin has produced more than 350 serial F-35 Lightning II, more than half of which are intended for the United States. In total, the United States plans to get more than 2.6 thousand of these aircraft.

New Voronezh Radar System Leaves Its Western Counterparts In the Dust

In 2012 Russia activated its fourth Voronezh early warning radar in Irkutsk, Siberia. This was the first of three to be built in eastern Russia. The other two entered service, on schedule in 2017. The Voronezh radars in Western Russia cost between $50 million and $75 million each, while those in eastern Russia (VP models) cost over $100 million because they cover a wider area. The Voronezh radar can detect incoming missiles up to 6,000 kilometers away, as can the Daryals. Three Voronezh M/DM radars were installed in Western Russia between 2005 and 2011. One is in Kaliningrad on the Baltic Sea. Another is on the east coast of the Black Sea (Armavir), while the third is at the eastern end of the Baltic Sea outside St Petersburg.
