Russian Land based Radar capability

[Mowers]

I am curious as to how you will be forecasting Russian land based radar capability, mainly because of its current state and the unclear path for some key units.

What are you going to be suggesting as the key Russian land based radar systems? How will you be addressing the P-18/19/35/XX series replacement? Will it be RAT-31/GM-400 type capability or something else?

In terms of LR AD capability will you be predicting that the S-500 will be the key system or will you be looking at some sort of S-500+ or "S-600" or a combination of later variant S-300s? And how do you envisage capability changing?

And what about the main Land/Sea defensive system? Will you be looking at a Bastion/Club-M or are you predicting a replacement? What sort of radar will you be predicting for these units?

And what surveillance coastal radars will you be using? Will you be integrating HLS type stuff into the OOB? Or will you be inventing an entirely new type of system?

And what sort of datalink capability will you be suggesting will be in place at that time for ground based radar systems? What sort of Link-16/22/XX type solution are you predicting and will that will be spread throughout all units or will it just be a partially integrated network?

Short answers:

S-500+ sounds about right. Much like your question in the other thread.

The land based anti-ship missiles may well be Club-M systems, yes.

Since we really don't know the actual performance of these systems, and have to emulate them in our game anyway, the parameters we end up with are going to be more important than the actual names we put in.

land-based "Club" is an export system

for russian navy now buy "BAL" http://www.militaryphotos.net/forum...L-E-Coastal-Anti-Ship-Defense-Missile-Complex with Kh-35 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kh-35

and "Bastion" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-300P_Bastion-P with P-800 Oniks http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS-N-26

Thanks for the correction. We'll see if we can work this in, now or later

Land based EW would be replaced with Nebo M series, the process already have begun. This is familiy of radars using fully digital AESA, and using various bands (variants with L and meter bands are included)
Sam systems would include
S300PM series
S400 series (replacing at that time S300PM)
S500 (limited, used with S400 for ABM defense mainly)
Vityaz (replacement for S300PS int its original medium range sam role)
