Thoughts on the su-75 "Checkmate"

11.2k tucan  3.3 years ago




If you dont know, which is unlikely, the concept reveal of the su 75 "Checkmate" was revealed last week. It looks very interesting and seems like an opposition to the US's F-35's and F-15's along with China's new J-35 aircraft. There will be no real functioning prototype until 2023 so its hard to say how this aircraft will perform. Those are my thoughts what are yours?

    @Keplerrr I dont think its that simple, but okay.

    @tucan it seems to complicated.Like the F-35's cockpit is like a tesla.Its pretty simple and of course i dont know half of the words on the screen but its an intersting plane.But with this one it looks like it would be complicated and id eject when i hear one beep but the beep will be an altitude warning :/

    Just like many of today's fighter projects, the policy works mostly as follows:

    1 - Data Platform - The plane needs to be able to be the forward eyes as well as able providing targeting data to its allies. Computation power and information are key to a successful aircraft.

    2 - CHEAP - If a plane is ludicrously expensive, your only client is gonna be your country (ex. F-22). If you can sell it to your allies, you're guaranteed that many countries will take the plane for a bargain, and try their best to remain your allies through support.

    3 - "Stealth" - This has taken a backseat in reality. These planes might have a smaller radar cross-section than previous generation fighters, but by no means are they F-117 stealthy. Because of improved radar technology and identification techniques have improved, it would COST MUCH MORE to develop a technology to counter the new radar (hence pointer 2)

    4 - Manoeuvrability. Most of these planes have reached the apex of human limits when it comes to manoeuvrability. It makes no sense to make a plane so manoeuvrable that would kill its pilot with insane over-the-top G-limit rolls. Fly-by-wire can calculate the best limits in order to keep the pilot safe, but in which case, if you intend the make a flying-gymnastic machine, you would need to resort to UAVs instead.

    These 4 pointers are the cornerstone to today's planes and dictate what kind of planes are considered "top-of-the-range". Be it the F-35, JF-17, SU-75, FC-31, Tejas, X-2, etc...

    It’s actually the SU-75, SU-57 already exists as the “Felon”. Honestly though, the aircraft looks pretty damn cool, hard to say how it’ll perform though, as it’s only a prototype thus far. If it can outmaneuver and outrun the F-35, along with being capable of the same tasks, then I’d say it can certainly outperform the F-35. As for the F-22, I imagine it’d stand not much of a chance against it. However, the SU-57 definitely seems like a promising match against the F-22, but of course, the only true way to be sure of which one is more powerful would be to pit them against each other. As probably insane/entertaining as that would be, it’s likely something that neither the US nor Russia want to happen.

    The Rafale Killer as it was dubbed. Not too hyped about nor am I too worried.
