مقالة ممتعة لكن الأهم انها قوية وغريبة
مسئول بيونغ يطرح فكرة مهمة وله اسبابه كمنافس لل أف 35
يقول انه أف 35 نهايتها مأساوية مثل بي 2 ومثل أف 22
وتطرق لفكرة مثيرة يقول ان الباك فا مجرد سوخوري 35 مطور إذن انت تحتاج أف 15 و أف 18 مطورة
حتى جي 20 الصيني هو ليس شبحي بل تطوير جيل خامس لكن لن تصل الى أف 22 بل هي درجة أرقي من سوخوري 35
طبعا المقالة تحوي هذا الفكرة الجديدة لذا اريد ان اسمع منكم آرائكم اذا كنتم تتفقون و لماذااو ضد المقالة ولماذا
defense-arab.comBoeing Military Aircraft (BMA) has stepped up its campaign to sell more F-15 and F-18 fighters, and has issued a strong warning against overreliance on leading-edge platforms such as the F-35 Stealth Fighter
(produced by competitor Lockheed Martin). “The evolutionary approach is best…it’s hard to manage a revolution,” said Rick McCrary, BMA international business director.
McCrary advises customers to focus instead on tactics, techniques and procedures, and the effects that they wanted to create. The F-35 program was “going down the same path” as the B-2 and F-22 programs, McCrary claimed. He also pointed out that although both Russia and China are developing stealth fighters, the Su-30/35 series represented the real threat because they were being progressively upgraded and could be fielded in large numbers. In any case, Russia’s PAK-50 “is more like an Su-35 than an F-22,” according to his assessment.
Critics may say that Boeing’s argument is self-serving, but McCrary and colleagues believe that the upgrades already made or pending on the F-15 and F-18 prove their point. For instance, the tripling in radar range offered by active electronically scanned arrays (AESAs) provides a capability that McCrary likened to “having a rifle in a pistol fight.” New capabilities offered by the smaller transmit/receive modules on second- and third-generation AESAs had hardly been exploited. Various technologies (such as high off-boresight missiles, infrared search and track sensors, new digital electronic warfare systems and updated cockpits ensure that the F-15 and the F-18 (see below) are evolving to meet today’s challenges and provide the required effects, McCrary claimed. “We have a long-term, cost-effective plan,” he added.
Super Hornet's Prospective Customers and Upgrade Plans
Thanks to the latest multi-year buy by the U.S. Navy, production of the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet is assured through 2016, at an average cost below $60 million in 2010 prices. In the Middle East region, Boeing is eyeing requirements in Kuwait (an existing operator of F/A-18C/Ds), Qatar and the UAE. All have received Super Hornet briefings from the U.S. government.
Further afield, Japan is likely to choose between the F/A-18E/F, the F-35 and the Eurofighter Typhoon next month. Malaysia is another F/A-18D operator that might upgrade to the E/F. The “Super” is also competing for Brazil’s on-again, off-again new fighter requirement. Although it is an F-35 international partner, Denmark has not yet formally committed to the Lightning II, and will resume an evaluation of alternatives next month.
Boeing has described the following potential upgrades to the F/A-18E/F for future international sales:
conformal fuel tanks
20 percent more thrust from the F414 engines
spherical missile/laser warning system
enclosed weapons pods on the wings and centerline
next-generation cockpit
internal IRST (infrared search and track sensors).
