The F-22 modernization and upgrades include software Operational Flight Program (OFP) Updates and hardware Tactical Mandates, which are recorded under numbered Increments.

The USAF rates the F-22 Raptor, as fifth-generation air superiority fighter with fourth-generation stealth technology, and fourth-generation aircraft. The F-22 has clipped delta wings that resembles like diamonds, four empennage surfaces, and leading edge root extensions which continue to the top outboard corner of the caret inlets.

The F-22 is more resistant against ground defenses such surface-to-air missiles because of higher operational altitude and cruise speed than the earlier fighters. This increases the effectiveness of the sensors and weapon systems and the F-22 has great maneuverability and energy potential throughout the entire flight envelope.

Avionics

The aircraft includes an integrated avionics system where data from all onboard sensor systems as well as off-board inputs are filtered and processed into a composite tactical picture using sensor fusion. The radar has an estimated range of 125-150 mi (201-241 km) against a target of 11 sq ft (1 m2) and 250 mi (400 km) or more in narrow beams. It changes frequencies more than 1,000 times per second to reduce the possibility of interception. Two Hughes Common Integrated Processors (CIPs), able to process up to 10.5 billion instructions per second, process CNI and radar data. Avionics are integrated, which has made updates hard eventually, an OMS processor was added to help with future upgrades.

Armaments 

air-to-air missiles are the AIM-120 AMRAAM and the AIM-9 Sidewinder, with integration of the AIM-260 JATMA planned, internally mounted. M61A2 Vulcan 20 mm rotary gun is incorporated in the right wing root of the aircraft, with the muzzle being covered by a retractable door. The pilot’s head-up display the radar projection of the cannon fire’s direction. The wings of the F-22 include four hard points, which is capable of supporting 5,000 lb and it normally carries armaments inside (2,300 kg). Each hard point can support a pylon with a detachable 600-gallon (2,270-liter) external fuel tank or a launcher with two air-to-air missiles; the two inboard hard points are “plumbed” for external fuel tanks.

Su-57 has a greater operating range than the F-22 Raptor, at 3500 kilometers or 1890 nautical miles. To improve agility and maneuverability at high speeds and altitudes, the Su-57 has 3D thrust vectoring controls installed. In comparison to the F-22 Raptor, the Su-57’s 3D thrust vectoring control capability is thought to be superior.

The Su-57 is a fifth-generation multirole fighter aircraft and the first operational stealth aircraft for the Russian armed forces. In addition to stealth, the fighter emphasizes super maneuverability in all aircraft axes, capacious internal payload bays for multirole versatility, and advanced sensor systems such as active phased-array radar as well as a high degree of integration of these systems. It has substantial internal payload capacity that allows the carriage of large air-to-surface.

Avionics

One of the main technical goals of the PAK FA programme is to achieve total integration of avionics systems, or sensor fusion, increase the pilot’s situational awareness and reduce workload. Integration of the Su-57’s onboard systems is controlled by an IUS. the Su-57 to employ beaming tactics while still able to guide its own missile.  Processing of the X- and L-band signals by the N036YeVS and GRPZ Solo-21 computers enable the system’s information. The Su-57 could also serve as a tested for advanced AI and man-unmanned teaming technologies intended for use in a future sixth-generation fighter program.

Armaments

The Su-57 has two tandem main internal armament bays that are each about 4.4 metres (14.4 feet) long and 0.9 metres (3 feet) broad, as well as two side weapon bays with triangular section fairings underneath the fuselage close to the wing root. The UVKU-50L and UVKU-50U ejection launchers for missiles up to 300 kg (660 lb) and 700 kg (1,500 lb), respectively, and both built by Vympel, the VPU-50 launch rails are used in the side bays. Near the right LEVCON root, the aircraft is equipped with a 150-cartridge 9A1-4071K (GSh-30-1) 30 mm autocannon that is placed inside. The weapon’s effective range is 800 metres (870 yards) for airborne targets and 1,800 metres (2,000 yards) for ground targets.

On June 6, an Air India direct flight AI173 carrying over 200 people from Delhi to San Francisco, California, had to make an emergency landing in Magadan, Far Eastern Russia. After 40 or so hours, the stranded passengers were finally transported to San Francisco by a different airline.

Bringing back its Boeing 777 aircraft from Russia is currently a nightmare for Air India. Since there was a technical issue and the plane had to land in Magadan, efforts were made to transport the passengers from the ferry flight.

Let’s learn more about the problems with aviation. The majority of long-haul flights have technical problems, mostly engine-related. Now that certain airlines have received necessary ground support from other airlines, flying foreign airlines into Russia, which has already received sanctions from Western countries, has been restricted.

231 Air India passengers were from India, the U.S., and Canada. Due to an engine issue, Boeing spent over two days in Magadan. The travelers’ sleeping arrangements were made at a school, a dorm, and the House of Culture. Everyone was fed, given water, and loaded onto a backup aircraft.

However, the Air India AI173 flight from Delhi to Magadan is still present in the Russian tundra. As officials work to find a means to bring the aircraft out and back to India, it is likely to stay that way for a while, perhaps months.

Trucks are the greatest option for moving aircraft engines, however, flying is also an option for farther distances.

The only option for plane India is plane travel. Specialized equipment is necessary for this as well.

The majority of AN 132 and other aircraft can carry a spare engine, however owing to the Ukraine issue, this aircraft may not be available, thus it must approve other cargo aircraft to carry additional engines.

According to the Dutch air freight company VRR Aero, the PZE engine stands pallet is the best and only option for transferring jet engines to the main deck of wide-bodied aircraft like the Boeing 777.

In addition, there are more airborne methods for moving aircraft engines. Air freight is frequently transported by the enormous Antonov 124 aircraft.

The problem, though, is that a sizable portion of these Antonov freight planes are either in Russia or Ukraine. One of these airplanes, Mriya, was damaged during the battle in Ukraine. There are just five, mostly in Europe, outside of Russia and the Ukraine.
