We still know too few about the 09V SSN, let alone the 09VI SSBN, 09VII, 09VIII SSBNs etc.

For what is worth, the recently completed giant roofed submarine production yard in the northeast will be mass-producing 09Vs according to rumors. So, the first leaked photo might not be too far away.

No worries. I'm not touching anything post 9IV for some time.

Any good speculation on what the towed arrays are or some sense of how good they are?

According to earlier information, Chinese TASS can be classified in three series:

http://www2.cjdby.net/junbeidongtai/201 ... 895_2.html

SJG-206 for surface combattants
SJG-206A for submarines
SJG-208 SURTASS for long range surveillance as equipped on China's SWATH-like Dongce-series of catamarans.

Other side about general Chinese submarine technology (http://mil.news.sina.com.cn/2014-03-27/1601771012.html) talks about that "some current TASS" have a minimum operating frequency of 10HZ and up to 180km maximum detection range. But it does not specify which sonar it is.

More recent information shows advances in underwater linear sonar techology, utilizing fiber optic cables to achieve better data volume. Some prototypes have been shown in early 2016, albeit they have been advertized as part of the "Underwater Great Wall" project. Though submarine and surface combattant compatibility was also shown.

Wow thanks. That gets us closer!

It would be good to add to the game BPMD "Typhoon-M" .Mashina with very advanced means of reconnaissance, including small UAVs.

Unfortunately I have not managed to find a good English-language source.

Another would be to add Ukrainian electronic intelligence station "Kolchuga-М".

BTW thanks for the link to Vitaly Kuzmin's blog. He's taken some amazing pictures of Russian gear. I'm a huge fan!

Can An/SLQ-32(V)6 [SEWIP Block 2] be given to the hypothetical CG 21?

Added

In DB447 we have a MiG-29M2

Both MiG-29M and MiG-29M2 are heavily commonised , sporting virtually identical fuselage nose sections, cockpit canopies and integrated mid-air refuelling systems. The MiG-29M and MiG-29M2 aircraft differ only an extra fuel tank fitted to the single seater instead of the rear cockpit.

From Take Off Magazine, page 31.


Then, it's easy add a MiG-29M changing only crew and fuel. M and K and 35 have a 630 liters fuel tank in the place of the second pilot. With this info #920, #3320, #3964, #3965 #3914 and #3915 can be corrected (all have 5000 kg of fuel in DB447). M , K and 35 have increased his fuel capacity in 1,130 liter, then 5,030 for M/K/35 and 4,400 for M2 ,KUBR and D (increase from 9.13S).

Loadouts in M2 should be corrected. Now it has 7 hardpoints like classic Fulcrums instead of 9.
Due to the nature of the Mikoyan's new philosophy SMT, M/M2 and KR/KUBR loadouts and avionics are similar. With the exception of clients customizations...Like RWR Tarang in #920 (still appears SPO-15 from Fulcrum-A). IRST is the OLS-UE (in russian). Automatically Translated.: This IRST is used in K/KUB, M/M2 and 35/35D.

An excellent article about Indian MiG-29K (page 21).

All this work can be used for MiG-35/35D #3914 and #3915.

MiG-29K info from Mig.

Thanks.

ROKAF F-16C Block 32 Peace Bridge was upgraded in proportion to F-16CM Block 52

End date added to F-16 Peace Bridge models (2018). All others F-16 block 52 config which is in the db.

There are likely some updates that need to be captured post 1987. Any data you can find on this would be great.

Thanks

DB Entry #1679 SY-400 MLRS [BP-12A Capability] is missing its BP-12A munition, I tried to give it some by adding a magazine but I couldn't find it.

Did you try just adjusting the number in the weapons record?

Regardless I've reconfigured this to give it 6 MLRS and 2 BP-12A missiles by default. The MLRS are multipacked.

Updated our list to this point. Anything noted has been updated. Anything not in on the to do list.

Would it be possible to add a few more generic submarine deployable mines, currently only the MDM-6 mine is able to be deployed whilst submerged. All others work but only while the sub is surfaced.

cheers

Suggesting a couple of loadout additions to American helicopters:

#1603 - AH-64A Apache (HYPOTHETICAL LOADOUT)


AH-64 with AIM-9M, 1987 (hypothetical)

#336 - AH-1Z Viper [Super Cobra]

AH-1Z or AH-1W with AGM-122A

#1486 - AH-1T Sea Cobra

AH-1T with AGM-122A

More information about the AGM-122A ARM on helicopters, including introduction dates:
https://www.forecastinternational.com/archive/disp_old_pdf.cfm?ARC_ID=1060

#2587 - SSM Plt (Hsiung Feng IIE LACM)
Weapon mount "Hsiung Feng IIE Quad" should use "Hsiung Feng IIE" instead of "Hsiung Feng II"

Fixed

please add the SK105 Tank to the database


The SK105 - Kürassier is a tank produced by Steyr-Daimler-Puch (Austria).

J-10B spotted carrying KG-600 ECM pods on their ventral/fuselage hardpoints:

My god. Its not blurry, fog filled or in tecnicolor. A quality camera was used...maybe even an <gasp> an Iphone!

This must mean the second coming. I will be down in my bunker preparing.

Will add at some point too! Thanks!

Heh, official PLA ministry of defense releases about the last year's Red Sword exercise. They didn't know how many things they just leaked by releasing these photos...
