Zhuk-AE/FGA-35 Modified Radar with AESA











Radar : New, Newer, the Newest


The basic radar system for the Russian Air Force MiG-35S version is the N041R mechanically scanned, slotted-array radar. The export version is fitted with the Zhuk-ME (FGM229) variant. The Zhuk-M radar is not the latest, but a perfected and more economic design. A more advanced variant – the FGA35 Zhuk-AE with active electronic scanning – has already been flight tested on the MiG-35, tests that have included the
launch of missiles.

At MAKS 2013, the Phazotron company showed another variant of the Zhuk-A radar, initially designated FGA35 (3D), with new transceiver modules made from LTCC (low temperature co-fired ceramics) technology. The array is much thinner and lighter than the Zhuk-AE variant. Each module is 13mm (0.5in) deep, several times less than those used on the Zhuk-AE. The array is air-cooled (the Zhuk-AE is – liquid-cooled) while the impulse power of each module is 5W. Yuri Guskov, Phazotron’s designer general promises the handover of the new radar for evaluation on the MiG-35 in 2014.

Indonesia Reveals Plan to Boost Defense
By SP/Yeremia Sukoyo & SP/Robertus Wardi | 27 September 2013 Friday | 8:40 am

Makassar. The Indonesian Defense Force is set to receive an upgrade with plans to train more pilots and add eight new squadrons of fighter jets.

“We hope that by 2024 we will have eight squadrons of fighter aircraft,” Air Chief Marshal Ida Bagus Putu Dunia said on Wednesday after receiving six Russian-made Sukhoi SU-30 MK2 fighter aircraft. Each squadron is expected to consist of 16 Sukhoi jets.

Ida said the Sukhoi jets were sophisticated fighter aircraft that offered a high deterrent power, which will strengthen the Indonesian Air Force.

The deal on the Sukhois also came with an agreement to train pilots for Squadron 11 at Hasanuddin air base.

Sukhoi technology will also be upgraded regularly to keep up with the rapid technological development, Ida said.

“[We] have a sufficient number of pilots to operate them. But we are also preparing pilots for new fighter aircraft,” he said.

Ida added that the military also hopes to replace its old F-5 Tiger fighter aircraft with aircraft that are more advanced both in terms of technology and weaponry.

“We are looking at our options as it is important to find a more sophisticated replacement,” he said.

The Hasanuddin airbase in Makassar will also be fully equipped with new weaponry, including munitions, the air marshal confirmed.

Defense Minister Purnomo Yusgiantoro confirmed the government’s plan to replace its F-5 Tigers.

He said that aside from the Sukhoi jets, the military had also received the delivery of one squadron of T-50s (Baby F-16s) from South Korea at the Iswahyudi military airbase in Madiun, East Java.

Meanwhile human rights activists have raised concerns over the government’s purchase of sophisticated spying equipment from United Kingdom-based company Gamma TSE, which has a history of supplying oppressive regimes.

But Defense Ministry spokesman Brig. Gen. Sisriadi said the procurement of new intelligence devices was part of the government’s efforts to modernize its primary weaponry defense systems and that the devices were needed for exchanging information with Indonesia’s defense attaches across the world and to prevent them from being intercepted by irresponsible parties.

“We will use it only for strategic intelligence, not intelligence related to crimes, bank robberies or other [threats],” the defense minister said.

In here also information leak what right? Discussion doesn't leak any classified information, we are also not discussing any government classified information, just a general knowledge about military hardware, we discuss it, don't overthink about it la

16 x 8 = 128??? 128 Su30??? Kidding or real? it means within 11 years right? OMG!!! 128 fighters excluding trainers? It is totally a lot

MBT-2000 is really great, compared to T-90, it is really great, not compared to T-90s okay? I prefer the Leopard because Singapore is using it, Indonesia is also using them now. My country uses MBT-2000, that is why I can tell you that it is really great. MBT-3000 is still under development, so not sure about it

i dun geddit

emmm i tot russia alrdy ceased t-90 order . as they waiting for 4th mbt generation T99 introduction in 2016

Not all Su-30, that may include refurbished F-16 Block 32 and KFX....although there's rumor that TNI-AU will purchase another squadron of Su-30MK2 under the next president's administration that begins next year.

Indonesia's GDP may reach $2000billion in 2024....that's 20bil based on current's percentage of budget defense to GDP..at 1 percent

The projected percentage of budget defense will be raised eventually to 2.5 percent...that's $50billion in 2024

So 8 fighter squadrons do sound plausible.....
