A.400M Atlas (2015) #1403 This is currently the only version of the A.400M for Germany and it already has AAR capability. In reality the A.400M in German Service did not have AAR capabilities untill 2019, when it got certified for this task after several tests. I would suggest to remove AAR capabilities from this unit and create a second A.400M for Germany with this capability dated 2019.

Eurofighter Typhoons (2015 and 2019; single and two seater) #1583 / #3633 / #3227 / #3634 The GBU-16 has never been in German Service and hence should be removed from these four units. Source: None, as there have never been GBU-16s in GAF service.
Eurofighter Typhoons (2015; single and two seater) #1583 / #3633 The first GBU-48's for the GAF got delivered on 18th December 2017, so it should be removed from the 2015 Eurofighters (#1583). Maybe a new Eurofighter unit for 2018 could be created with GBU-48 and AMRAAM in addition to the 2020 Meteor equipped Eurofighter proposed above.

All German Tornado units Neither the BL.755 nor the AGM-65 has ever been in service with German Tornados and should be removed from all German Tornado units. The AGM-65 has only been in use with the F-4 Phantom II in German service, but not with the Tornado and German Tornados used the MW-1 instead of the british BL.755. Source: None, as AGM-65 or BL.755 equipped GAF Tornados have never existed.
On the topic of BL755, Germany was actually a customer for the weapon system and it was used on the Marineflieger Tornados since their inception until Germany's accession to the Convention on Cluster Munitions, where they were removed from service and destroyed in 2010 after beginning the process in 2006. The MW-1 is an entirely separate dispenser system that was developed more than a decade after the BL755 (a cluster bomb) entered service. So yes they did exist and were used and that's why they're in the database.
Regarding Turkish drones, and Syrian scenario I found out that only Turkish UCAV currently available in DB, Bayraktar TB2 has very low flight endurance. Currently, after takeoff it is able to fly for less than ~3hours. With this flight time it is barely able to reach Southern Turkish borders from for example Incirlik Air base.
This drone is advertised as a long-endurnace UCAV, with 24 hours of flight time. It might be less with payload, but probably still much more than 3 hours.
quote:
The Bayraktar UAV System has a cruising speed of 70 knots with an operational flight altitude of 24.000 feet, 24 hours of flight time and a communication range of 150 km and has a 12-m wing span, 650-kg maximum take-off weight and a 55-kg payload capacity.
#3191 - MRK Nanuchka III [Pr.1234.1 Ovod] (Russia [1992-] - 2019) Please consider changing the twin SA-N-4A SAM launcher to the SA-N-4B and upgrade the radar:
This is the recently refitted upgraded Nanuchka III:
Currently it has the launcher; #850 - SA-N-4a Gecko [9M33]
Please consider replacing the SA-N-4A with the SA-N-4B Mount: 1x SA-N-4b Gecko [9K33M Osa-2M, Zif-122] Twin Rail using #1422 - SA-N-4b Gecko [9M33M3]
SAN-4B has been the default missile for SA-N-4 OSA launchers on the Nanuchka for some time and it seems unlikely that the revamped OVOD coming out of a refit in 2019 would still be using the original missile from 1974?
The entry still has the Titanit BAND STAND #5335 radar and #5338 passive elements but the KRS-27 referred to in all the press releases equates to upgraded BAND STAND (MINERAL) DB3K entry #5333 radar and #5337 passive elements which has longer range and would make sense given the much longer range of the Kh-35.
Helicopter magazine doesn't include the #3644 - APR-3M only the APR-3.
#4327 - Ka-27M Helix A (Russia [1992-] - 2017) - KA-27M is the most likely on board helicopter for the Pr2235.0.
Load out #22060 has a glitch in that the title says:
#22060 APR-3, RGB-16MK (ASW Patrol) but includes 1x #3644 - APR-3M and 0 #482 - APR-3.
Effectively this means the KA-27M on board hasn't got reloads unless you add magazine items.
#3644 - APR-3M Weapon record #8881 1/1 is the only record for the APR-3M so it could do with some corresponding magazine size records i.e 18/18 and 0/100000.

Also, can the RCS value of J-20 and J-31 be changed back to values as they are in the older version of DB3000? (i.e. v477) The current RCS value of J-20 and J-31 is "horribly" high. I got some evidence to show, but I am not allowed to post links...
Just checked my old DB3K files and all the RCS signatures are the same as the current ones for the J-20 & J-31.

I'm sorry if I'm annoying, but whenever I find a little something missing, even if it's not important, I think it's useful to complete the great database you have built.
Would it be possible for the devs to consider changing its signature to a more reasonable level? like around -20dBsm for searching radar(A/B band) and -30dBsm for FCR(I band). The current level(around-5dBsm) does not realistically reflect the appropriate estimation of the above-mentioned 5th gen. Even the Russian Su-57 without detailed consideration on LO got around -15 and -25dBsm in the DB3K. I would be more than willing to provide some sources about the J-20's and Su-57's RCS simulation if you can kindly consider my suggestion. Thanks.
Maybe not a DB issue but interesting and remarkable numbers:
Jane's Defence Weekly Vol 57 Issue 10 4 March 2020 page 6. "Shenyang resumes production of carrier borne J-15 fighters." Andreas Ruprecht and Juan Ju. 25/02/2020 The title says it all really but the last paragraph says "fewer than 20 of these aircraft are believed to be available" K
Also REF S350 in service dates and range. Dmitry Fediushko article in same JDW Vol.57. Issue 10 pp12. Dated 26 FEB 2020. Russia's VKS Deploys first S-350 system.

Of note for the DB: Russian MoD statement says armament plan 2018 to 2027 provides for 12 battalions planned each of 12 launchers, each battalion with 3 radar and one C3 post.
Article gives the range of the short 9M96 as 60km and an altitude of 30km with upto 12 targets engaged per system. This 60km range is improved on the previously quoted 40km (which maybe for the export version?) K

USAF will upgrades AESA radars for 350 F-16s until 2022.

Northrop Grumman received an order on February 28 for its APG-83 Scalable Agile Beam Radar (SABR). The deal covers 15 examples of the radar for engineering, manufacturing, and development, and the first 90 production units. The U.S. Air Force announced on June 17, 2017, that it had selected the APG-83 to upgrade 72 F-16s to meet a Joint Emergent Operational Need raised by U.S. Northern Command for homeland defense.
Worth $262 million, the contract was issued by the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center’s Fighter Bomber Directorate at Wright Patterson AFB, Ohio, and is a modification to a previous deal that brings its value to more than $553 million. The work is being performed at Northrop Grumman’s Linthicum Heights facility in Maryland and is due for completion by the end of 2022.
The U.S. Air Force plans to keep 350 of its F-16 Block 40/42/50/52 aircraft through at least 2048 and is putting them through a service-life extension program (SLEP). As part of the SLEP the aircraft will undergo extensive structural work—including re-winging in some cases—to extend their service lives by 4,000 hours to 12,000. New avionics, and an AESA radar in particular, is a key element of the SLEP.
SEOUL, Dec. 6 (Yonhap) -- South Korea's arms procurement agency said Friday it signed a contract with Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI), the country's sole aircraft manufacturer, to improve a tactical data link network for the indigenous FA-50 light attack fighter jet.
The project aims to upgrade the capability of the Link-16, a military communications system used by NATO nations that allows real-time exchanges of tactical information between aircraft and ships, the Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA) said in a release.
Here's comparative data between AIP stirling engines and lithium-ion batteries of Soryu-class.
Could you add lithium-ion batteries for Soryu-class Submarine? Hull number is SS 511 and SS 512.
quote:
The 4,200-ton (submerged) Soryu-class boats are the JMSDF’s first SSKs to be fitted with air-independent propulsion (AIP) systems, enabling the submarines to stay underwater for up to two weeks. (…)
Soryu-class SSKs are powered by two Kawasaki 12V 25/25 SB-type diesel engines and four Kawasaki Kockums V4-275R Stirling AIP engines for silent running. The boats have an estimated range of 6,100 nautical miles (11,297 kilometers) with a maximum surface speed of 13 knots and a subsurface travelling speed of 20 knots. The maximum diving depth of the sub is around 650 meters.
