Russia's 6th generation supersonic aircraft revealed

Russia will equip its 6th generation supersonic aircraft with radio-electronic warfare systems.

Radio-electronic technologies concern KRET, a subsidiary of the state corporation Rostec, will conduct research and development to create modern radio-electronic warfare systems for sixth-generation aircraft.

In this new system will be achieved full automation of all working processes of the aircraft defense system when integrating the antenna system and equipment blocks with the aircraft's radio-electronic system.

This is similar to the operation of airborne radar with different radio frequencies and communication systems, data transmission, IFF, navigation and other special equipment.

"Current and future aircraft can be fully integrated with this radio-electronic system. The system is equipped with a wide-area receiver, covering the entire radio frequency spectrum. The system uses digital signal processing, which ensures the automatic formation of software databases for classification and identification with radiation sources and finally for receiving protective treatment or elimination," said KRET Deputy General Director Vladimir Mikhailov.

According to him, the system is more advanced in finding the direction of the radiation source and then providing high-precision positioning enough to guide and control the weapon precisely.

According to previous information from the Russian newspaper, Russia's sixth generation fighter will be supersonic and made of composite materials. They will then be invisible to enemy radar.

The aircraft will be equipped with hypersonic missiles and according to the head of the Military Aviation Development Department of the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) of Russia, Vladimir Mikhailovsaid there will be two versions - manned and unmanned.

It is expected that this super modern fighter will be tested and put into use in 2025.

It should be added that in Russia, the current prototype of the fifth-generation fighter PAK FA, the Sukhoi T-50, is being tested. The T-50 made its maiden flight on January 29, 2010.

Sukhoi T-50 is expected to be sold to Vietnam around 2025-2030 when mass production of about 1,000 units is completed.

New 6th generation fighter

In addition to Russia, the US, India, China and other countries are also actively developing 6th generation fighter aircraft, especially with the F/A-XX project of Boeing, which has many other directions of development. The new generation of US fighter aircraft also emphasizes stealth capabilities and fully automated control.
