    ...That's Su-33, not Su-30.

    And if you really want to get into a debate about how a completely unproven Sukhoi, flying off ski-jump carriers with a handful of barely trained pilots, inferior radar, numbers and support and a large RCS stacks up against the US Navy... leave that for another thread.

    F-15’s APG-63 could not “see” the Migs as they dived and stalled in the vertical plane appearing stationary and hence went off their radar, when they came close, the ‘21s too them by surprise.
    How appearing stationary going to reduce an aircraft's RCS?

    Anyway big deal even if those F-15s didn’t have APG-63(v)2/3 ASEAs, Flankers will not have the Russian ASEA version by 2012 – the Ibris radar currently being designed by India and Russia together modifying the mechanically steered N011M Bars series which is passive ESA into an ASEA type. Then the KS - 172 AAM too was not available to the MKI. Hence no ASEA radar / missiles for F-15 & MKI - fair and square for both.
    If you want to talk about future Russian technology, I suppose we can also talk about ramjet AMRAAMs, lasers, Martians coming down to invade Earth...

    I don’t believe in all that bull about the 20nm range restriction
    Refute it then.

    The F-15SG (formerly the F-15T) and F-15K are variants of the F-15E, basically for ground attack and inferior to the Cope India F-15Cs in every aspect for A2A combat.
    Right. Beyond the pale of your imagination to consider that they're upgraded or the F-15Cs were handicapped.

    Another interesting fact – there are enough sources that prove fully stocked F-15s with all missiles / fuel tanks onboard have a max speed of only Mach 1.78 that pins the Eagle nearer to its grave than the F-18, but I don’t think in reality that’s really true, neither is it relevant to give the sources, they’re easy to find i.e. just google “Mach 1.78 F-15”
    That applies to all aircraft with external stores, so what your point is, escapes me.

    those are SU 33's jackass.

    You're talking of a 0 doppler shift maneuver, well that's nice but that dosn't mean that tactic will work all the time. IFf 2 F-15's go against 2 21's doing a vertical climb or flying sideways it will work but F 15's coming from 2 different directions or radars scanning at veey different angles, you had better use your ejection seat.

    Anyway big deal even if those F-15s didn’t have APG-63(v)2/3 ASEAs, Flankers will not have the Russian ASEA version by 2012 – the Ibris radar currently being designed by India and Russia together modifying the mechanically steered N011M Bars series which is passive ESA into an ASEA type. Then the KS - 172 AAM too was not available to the MKI. Hence no ASEA radar / missiles for F-15 & MKI - fair and square for both.
    Future AESA"s you really are a jackass. Some F 15's already have the AESA and it's already in use. They didn't have them in Cope India 2004.

    I don’t believe in all that bull about the 20nm range restriction and even if all engagements were designed for close range, that would all the more make it in favour of the US planes not the long range interceptor Floggers & Fishbeds that can’t dogfight.
    Refute it. Everyone knows that the no escape zone of a BVR missile is around that much (Phoenix is 13 miles). With an AESA set you will see the missiles coming a long way out and evade them. I find it rather funny that you always assume F 15's will never dodge a phoenix before it goes in to the no escape zone while amraams will always be dodged. Shows how you have no consideration for facts and will say anything as long as it suits you.You are a little kid around 12 years old with the intelligence of a 5 year old and a true arrogant little shithead.

    Applies to all fighters by saying that I can tell you hate the F15 and will say anything to make it look bad. You disgust me you little d*ck

    urmomma158, Stop the personal attacks or go elsewhere. You've had more than enough warnings.

    I guess I seriosuly will have to stop the personal attacks. I need to restart the anger managemnt sessions.

    As stated, the F15 is not alone in being speed restricted by external stores.

    If I'm not mistaken, the F/A-18E/F is barely supersonic with a full weapons load.

    Your F14 won't be doing mach 2.3 with a full weapons load either though (even if we do presume that it's not limited to mach 1.88 as it was in it's later service life).

    However, as I keep saying on here, theoretical top speed is ********. What matters more in a dogfight is acceleration (i.e. energy addition rate), thrust to weight, turn rate and turn radius.

    And if I'm not mistaken, the F15C beats the F14 in all those respects.

    Also, if what's been posted here is correct, the AIM120C beats the AIM54 phoenix in terms of active range (20nm for AIM120 vs 13nm for AIM54).
    The AIM120 has home on JAM capability (does the phoenix?)
    The AIM120 is more manouverable.
    The AIM120 is lighter. 6 (random figure, not sure what a typical combat loadout is for both aircraft) AIM120s will be a lot less of a burden to the F15 than lugging around 6 AIM54s is to the F14.

    @CD,

    The F-15SG is INFERIOR to the F-15C? Wow. Where are jgetti and M21Sniper? It and the F-15K are superior to the F-15C in all ways. More payload, longer range, higher top speed, less weight, more powerful engines, less RCS, better/same radar, and newer avionics. They're better in both A2A and A2G. The US isn't upgrading it's F-15Cs(with the exception of the Elmendorf Eagles, which were not used in Cope India, BTW) to that level because they have the F-22A, which makes anything else nearly pointless, yes, even the F-14, MiG-25, MiG-31 and all Flankers that ever flew.

    BTW, there were no Su-33s in Cope India, and Su-30s aren't navy fighters, at least not Indian ones.

    An Eagle carrying AMRAAMs and AIM-9Xs will have less additional drag than an F-14 carrying huge Phoenixs, big-finned Sparrows and AIM-9Ms, so the F-14 will actually be slowed down more than the F-15, increasing the F-15s speed advantage more.

    @nutter,

    If the AMRAAM has more active range than the Phoenix, than that means the Phoenix will have to keep it's nose on the F-15 for longer amounts of time, while the F-15 will be able to pull evasive maneuvers. Also, from the point the Phoenix launches, the F-15 knows it's coming, while the F-14 only knows the AMRAAM is coming when it's 20nm away with the APG-63(v02s LPI. That means the F-15 gets a reaction time of about 1 and a half minutes while the F-14 gets a reaction time of around 20 seconds if the engagement is at 90 miles. And thats with AMRAAM C-7 vs Phoenix C Sealed/ECCM.

    @urmomma158

    The F-15s AESA is not what helps it detect inbound missiles, it's it's RWR. It's LPI radar is what prevents the F-14 from doing the same.

    This is what I was implying :D

    But thanks for the specifics...

    edit:
    Just on the F15's AESA.... i recall reading that the F22 radar will be functional as a sort of "energy beam" weapon (EMP - electro magnetic pulse) for knocking out enemy electronics.

    Can the new APG63V2 radar do this as well, do we not yet know, or is it definately an F22-only feature?

    I hear the F-22 can do it and the F-35 is supposed to do it. Ask highseas for moredetails if the APG-63(v)2 can.

    The F-18E/F is not even close to supersonic with a full weapons load.

    You mean besides the droves of pilots and sailors that just GOT OUT when the F-14 was retired versus transitioning to Hornets?

    PS: My porsche 928S is a total maintenance nightmare compared to a Honda, but i wont be trading it for an Accord any time soon....i assure you.

    You are of course entirely correct, but i tend to not bother answering Captian Drunk, as he is a TOTAL troll.

    When you cant have a troll banned the only alternative is to simply NOT FEED HIM.

    I humbly submit that from this day forward NO ONE respond to Captain Drunk's posts. In fact, we should ALL add him to our ignore lists.

    Let him talk to himself...

    Snipe, he was banned a while back.

    Captain Drunk is Hitler/Vaastu. Troung exposed him, and TH did the rest.
