While at the MAKS show in Moscow this week, Flight Global spoke with Vladimir Mikheev, the first deputy chief executive officer of the electronic systems producer KRET, about a new UAV being shown at the show, which KRET is a subcontractor on. During the interview, Mikheev said the new (thus far, unnamed UAV) is similar to China’s Divine Eagle in that it uses low frequency radars to detect low-observable stealth aircraft like the F-35, F-22 and B-2 bomber. Most stealth aircraft are created to evade high-frequency radar systems.

　　在本周莫斯科航展顯示，《全球飛行》弗拉基米爾·費奧多爾，電子系統(tǒng)制造商KRET的第一副首席執(zhí)行官稱,一種新的無人機在航展中亮相，KRET是分包商之一。在采訪期間,費奧多爾表示,這筐新的(迄今為止,不知名的)無人機類似于中國的神鷹,使用低頻雷達(dá)探測隱身隱形飛機像f - 35,f - 22和b - 2轟炸機。隱形飛機大多是為了逃避高頻雷達(dá)系統(tǒng)。

　　The Russian UAV goes a step further by integrating a sophisticated electronic warfare suite onto the aircraft. According to Flight Global, “Mikheev says KRET is providing a deeply-integrated electronic warfare system that not only provides a protective electromagnetic sphere around the aircraft to counter air-to-air missiles, but also cloaks it from radars.” Thus, if true, Russia’s new UAV would be able to detect America’s stealth aircraft without itself being detected. That could be a deadly combination.

　　據(jù)《全球飛行》報道俄羅斯無人機更進(jìn)一步集成了復(fù)雜的電子戰(zhàn)組件。”費奧多爾說KRET提供一種深入集成的電子戰(zhàn)系統(tǒng),不僅提供了一個在飛機對抗空對空導(dǎo)彈在電磁領(lǐng)域的保護(hù),同時屏蔽了雷達(dá)。“因此,如果這是真的,俄羅斯的新無人機能夠探測到美國的隱形飛機而其本身卻不被探測到。這可能是一個要命的組合。

　　Some in the U.S. military are already planning for a day in which stealth becomes mostly obsolete. As The National Interest previously noted, when discussing what America’s sixth generation fighter jet might look like back in February, Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Jonathan Greenert said that stealth may be overrated.

　　美國軍方已經(jīng)在計劃應(yīng)對隱形成為過時的的一天了。正如《國家利益》先前提到的,早在2月份在當(dāng)討論美國的第六代戰(zhàn)斗機時,海軍作戰(zhàn)部長喬納森海軍上將曾說,隱形可能被高估了。

　　“You can only go so fast, and you know that stealth may be overrated.... Let's face it, if something moves fast through the air, disrupts molecules and puts out heat—I don't care how cool the engine can be, it's going to be detectable. You get my point."

　　“你只能走那么快,你知道隱形可能被高估了....讓我們來面對它吧,如果有物體快速在空氣中移動,擾動氣流同時噴出熱氣--我不在乎如何冷卻引擎,這將是可被偵測的。我的意思你懂的。”
