Hi all

Some additions to widely known file (http://www.designation-systems.net/non-us/soviet.html) with codenames of aircraft and missiles. The information is taken from FAS.org and Wiki (sorry :) )

Hi ALL !!!

The current version of the SL-list in Russian Wiki contains the following data

SL-18 Start-1
SL-19 Strela/Rokot
SL-21 Shtil'
SL-23 Zenit-3SLB
SL-24 Dnepr
SL-26 Soyuz-FG + Fregat

Because of that Wiki very unreliable source of the information, please confirm or deny this data

Regards
 
This is from Soviet Military Power 1981, publication of DoD. What is mysterious codename "Fishbed M"?

It is not corect. MiG-21bis is "Fishbed L" (variant for PVO with Lazur M) or "Fishbed N" (varinat for VVS with Polyot-OI). "Fishbed M" isnt all-weather fighter (Soviet Military Power 1981)
 
(Not related to above) In the years after the breakup of the Soviet Union, some reporting names were circulated for the latest aircraft prototypes as follows, but I can't determine for sure whether they are bogus or real:
  • FLATPACK (MiG-1.44 MFI)
  • FIRKIN (Su-47 Berkut)
  • MISER (MiG-AT)
  • MAXDOME (Il-80 VKP = Il-87)
  • MITTEN (Yak-130)
Also some Chinese types were apparently named as follows:
  • CHAN (Harbin Y-11)
  • FLOUNDER (Xi'an JH-7)
As I no longer trust Wikipedia, and find dubious many of the online resources, can someone refer to a RELIABLE source for these names (IF they are legit at all of course). What is the authoritative document that provides such official namings, anyway? Thanks a lot in advance for your answers!
 
Thanks for that update. Need to be added is also:

  • MAINRING (KJ-2000 AEW/AWACS)

... and by the way I just read somewhere (see here: http://www.uscc.gov/sites/default/files/Lee%20Fuell_Testimony1.30.14.pdf9 about the new code-name for the Chengdu J-10 to be called FIREBIRD !??? Do You know more about that ?

There is no public published list. The codenames used to appear in public gradually report by report- but nowadays such reports are likely to use the real designations.

Nevertheless, all above are believed to be correct. Also:


FULLBACK (Su-34)

Given the rank of the person giving testimony, and context, it must be correct.


  • FIREBIRD (Chengdu J-10)
Also seen HAITUN for Harbin Z-9 which feels bogus.
 
Thanks, Paul! (by the way, I'd left out FULLBACK because its validity didn't seem questionable to me, contrary to the others).

FIREBIRD is new to me. As for HAITUN (Z-9) and HAIOU (VT-UAV / BUAA), I have them as "Chinese names, perhaps reused by NATO".
 
http://origin.www.uscc.gov/sites/default/files/USCC%20Hearing%20Transcript%20-%20January%2030%202014.pdf


Cites FLOUNDER for JH-7, MAINRING for KJ-2000.

I doubt it.


HAITUN is "Dolphin", the Chinese name of the Z-9, and is itself a translation of the French name of the original Eurocopter AS365, "Dauphin". It coincidentally fits the ASCC naming system inasmuch as it is two syllables (turboprop) and begins with H but I don't think it likely to be correct.

HAIOU - even more doubtful. Does it need a name in a Helicopter sequence? Its a (helicopter-type) UAV.
 
FIREBIRD is pretty appropriate for J-10 actually, its a Russian mythological creature similar to the classical Phoenix.
 
Thanks a lot ... So You think Firebird is the correct name !?

Deino
 
We believe it likely that a mix of PLAAF and PLANAF units, deployed along or near the coast, are tasked with operations in the ADIZ, and have fighter aircraft like FLANKER and FIREBIRD at requisite
steady-state levels of alert to support “emergency identification” missions.
Click to expand...

Given the context (testimony from Technical Director for Force Modernization & Employment at the National Air & Space Intelligence Center) I am pretty convinced.
 
Here is DoD codenames for Soviet UAV's:

DR-1 ?
DR-2 ?
DR-3 VR-3 Reys (Tu-143)
DR-X-4 Yak Pchela-1
DR-5 VR-2 Strizh (Tu-141)


Haiou isn't western codename
 
is codename "Fishpaste" for JF-17 (FC-1) correct?
