The company "Lockheed Martin" has promised to reduce the price of the F-35
Marillyn Hewson



“I had a very good conversation with President-elect Donald Trump, and I assured him that I clearly and clearly heard his message to reduce the cost of F-35. I give him a personal commitment to drastically reduce the price ",
Hewson wrote in the company's microblog on Twitter.

She noted that she is aware of Trump's desire to make sure that "the United States has the highest military potential at lower taxpayer costs" and the corporation is "ready to provide this."

Recall, the previously elected president criticized the high cost of a new generation of fighter F-35.

      Hello Paul. Most likely, Trump hinted at a decrease in the number of aircraft under the contract.
      In general, it would be a pity if such a diamond cut is covered. This was the best option for us)

        Trump started a conversation about a possible return to the release of the F-18. So they fussed. I do not want to leave the feeding trough.

            I think the situation is not much different, Trump as a businessman really understands that you need to kill loot not only in an airplane that is still far from perfect, but also in the infrastructure for this airplane, retraining those. composition, etc., etc., it’s worth pragmatically considering if there is a real plane like F18 with a fully prepared base. In general, somehow I see each other, but this purely my opinion may be wrong.

              In fact, the F-35 has passed the testing stage and judging by the press, tactics of its use are being worked out at the moment. This suggests that the plane is far from raw. And if we are talking about "perfection", then it would be curious to know, and which aircraft is currently closer to this very "perfection" than the F-35?

                Su-35 ... But the T-50 will be better in many respects ... The point is small, bring to mind the engines, weapons and put in the troops ... Yes

            Oh?
            Such powerful guys sit on the Lockheed board of directors, and with such connections that Trump may also have "conversations" from which it is not easy to get out.
            Rather, the thing is different - Trump is trying to hint - guys, your cuts are already beginning to threaten the existence of the system. How would the Great Depression happen in the USA?
            So let's put the profit margins in a frame so as not to "roll".

        Good morning Tagiryan! Or maybe, on the contrary, to lower the price of the F-35 unit, and the amount of the contract will not change? Thus, it will be possible to draw in more planes (he wrote and was scared lol ), and this implies repair and maintenance. Trump is a businessman, he calculates everything for 3 moves ahead.

            I believe that Trump is as much a "specialist" in military technology as Obama, that is, absolutely different people are engaged in such issues. And a drop in the price of the F-35 could mean more orders for Lockheed overall.

        Do not read Soviet newspapers in the morning. For you, the best option would be to stop the production of the F-35, but for America, on the contrary. They wrote to you that the F-35 is a child prodigy and you truly believe in it. If the release of the F-22 continued, then you would be written that the Raptor sucks and you would also believe in it sacredly. I believe my neighbor, a pilot who has already flown on the F-35 in training air battles against the F-15. He says the superiority of the F-35 is so great that it’s just not interesting to take part in an aerial battle against the F-15. And here you continue to console each other, hight F-35 and further)))

          ))) Strange as it was, I read Soviet newspapers and came to the conclusion that Israel received two pieces of F-35 and immediately opened the lapserdaks and paisas - well, well, I’m supposed to be a peacock and I’m all knee-deep. Yeah, look at the Arabs, they do not forgive such things.

          Israel said it would not implement the UN Security Council resolution on the construction of settlements, Reuters reports referring to the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

          Let the neighbor console himself with the thought that they will fight with you on the F-15 if that ... Yes, there my neighbor said that before Israel there is less than a minute of flying to the ICBMs.

But since we were mistaken, do you really not understand that the Israelis from this moment put on your opinion, as on the opinion of Meehan. Well, another anti-Semite. You never know here.

                        Israel doesn’t need such a show either.
                        Well, there are people like taupe and Balts and Poles who dream that we would protect them a little thread, but without consequences, they have the task of depicting the victim.

                        Still possible provocations from frostbitten "partners" such as Turkey, but this is also more for show-off, and not for war.

                    As it became known to the walla! News Internet portal, the IDF command allocated the first two F-35 aircraft received by the IDF from the American concern Lokheed Matin to hold a ceremony.

                    Journalists are outraged by the fact that not only did the IDF purchase these most expensive aircraft in the world, each of which costs $ 400 million, it also spent almost a million shekels on meeting and treating guests, and continues to complain about the lack of budget funds for defense intact.

                    The IDF command confirmed this extravagance in response to journalistic inquiries, explaining it by the high level of the event, which was attended by all the leaders of the state and government and another 5 guests. It is reported that the army spent 270 thousand shekels for the purchase of multimedia equipment for the event, 200 thousand for the operation of a special generator for lighting and sounding the event at the Nevatim Air Force Base, 120 thousand for security, 55 thousand for disposable tableware and 40 thousand for refreshments.

There is also such infa that I have never met on this site on the subject of F-35, but I have seen it in some places, so I can’t vouch for 100% certainty that if the pilot gets into such a situation that super maneuverability is needed, then the aircraft itself that is, completely on autopilot, it performs some sophisticated maneuver (for avoiding missiles), but this maneuver is 1/3 of the fuel.

    Yes, let them do it, and the more, the better. Costing 485 million apiece, taking into account manufacturing and operating costs over the entire service life. Exactly the same price is a solid piece of pure gold of mass equal to this iron. Is Israel the first to flatter this trick? An airplane that cannot fly due to the schizophrenic idea of ​​making it invisible. Aerodynamics, engines, weapons, strictly hidden inside and other things, do not like such forms. Especially with a vertical start-iron, almost unarmed and with a zero radius of action. But capable of appearing at an air show.
    Interestingly, and with whom is Israel going to fight with these museum-price airplanes?

    Invisible 35 is not visible exactly until the moment when it turns on its locator. But the direct locator signal is many orders of magnitude stronger and, therefore, we detect than the reflected one, which carries the useful signal to the fighter itself.

        According to TV channel 2, the fire service does not see the need for a “Supertanker” at all, since there are no outstanding fire sources in Israel at the moment, but the firefighters are “under great pressure”, demanding the use of an expensive giant.
        On Saturday, the plane made aimless circles over the sea and dropped fire extinguishing means in a wasteland near Haifa, where there was no fire. According to official sources, “Reshet Bet” called this whirling a “test flight”.
        16:15 The representative of the fire service could not explain to Wallanews where the Supertanker went and why.
        “We did not ask for his help in any fire, and we don’t know why he took off,” the publication quotes the words of a fireman who wished to remain anonymous.
        Israeli media emphasize that the unique advantage of the Supertanker is its ability to work at night: other fire-fighting aircraft do not work in the dark.
        However, on the night of Saturday, when the settlement of Halamish was blazing, the “Supertanker” did not participate in putting out the fire.

        Tynts

        On Sunday afternoon, the Super Tanker took off for the second time from Ben Gurion Airport and circled aimlessly over the sea for about two hours. Journalists from the central media tried to find out who, where and why had sent him, but received no answers.
        The fire service on Saturday said that at the moment there are no major fires in the country, and, accordingly, there is no need to use the "Supertanker". The police undertook to find a deal for the American giant on Saturday: just before sunset, the Jerusalem district police chief sent him to extinguish the remains of a fire in the Nataf area.
        But on Sunday, the police also do not undertake to explain, on whose instructions and where the “Supertanker” flew.
        Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wrote on Facebook on Saturday that he decided to order the services of the Colorado company Global SuperTanker Services, LLC for the sake of greater safety: “it is better to have something superfluous than not have it.” http://news.israelinfo.co.il/technology/64388

        I think that's enough to understand about the futility of the money spent and who really put out the fires in Israel - not the Americans.

      F-14, F-15, Ea-6, F-22 are not replaced with F-35.
      Although almost $ 3 billion was allocated to bring it to 400F and most of it has already been spent, and the overall lag behind the work schedule has already reached 30% and continues to increase.
      this despite the fact that all R&D is 55.13 billion

      However, in practice, at the moment, the F-35 Block 3i is capable of carrying only two AIM 120 air-to-air melee missiles and two GBU-12 laser-guided bombs or two GBU-31 (on the F-35A / C) or GBU-32 (on F-35B) JDAM. .

      That's all for now.
      And it is fully consistent with the plans for the F-35 Block 2I
      The fact is that the onboard laser target illumination complex does not know how to take and hold the lead in case the target moves. Thus, the main advantage of the planned guided aerial bombs is completely leveled - the possibility of accurately hitting a target without the carrier entering the zone of its air defense of not only near, but also average radius

      How is this connected? Glazed bombs are used mainly in the CAS mission. for air defense there are AGM-154 and SDB-1, SDB-2 and AGM-158 JASSM

      Separately, it is necessary to note the still impossibility of using an onboard gun in real combat.

      And again 25: In blocke 3i - she was not in the plans.
      digital transmission of information works worse than unsatisfactory. Voice refinement is constantly required. There have been cases of up to 16 repeated exchanges of information between the control center and the aircraft, or between the aircraft in the group, provided


      just the original. Voice communications are sometimes required to validate digital communications. Problems with Variable Message Format (VMF) and Link-16 data link messaging –including dropped / hidden information or incorrect formats - sometimes require pilots to use work-arounds by validating or “reading back” information over the radio that prevent them from conducting digital (only) CAS, a capability that is common in most legacy CAS aircraft.

    You do not understand anything in mechanical engineering. To judge the issue of very good washing machines and airplanes. Cars and submarines.
    It's like comparing sweet and warm. Britain has been deep in the ass in the field of armaments for several decades. Not because English engineers are fools. They were doing the wrong thing. Considering the cover of an overseas partner is sufficient. And the fact that both Israel and Europe are buying American airplanes is proof of that. But here you need to add the twisting of the joints. The concept of standardizing weapons based on the American one. Is this a "level playing field"? Yes, you are forced to buy them like a doormat, and, often, not the best, financing the American economy.

    About the pilot, all the neighbors know that he is a pilot. He was in the States for a long time with his family, he himself told me that he studied at the F-35. And just recently I asked him whether it was possible to fly and how the impression of the car was, he answered me that it was uninteresting against the F-15 (of course, without details)

    -------------------------------------------
    And why without details? And due to what advantage? Due to the information system that describes the behavior of the enemy or something else? So if the F-15 is equipped with a system comparable in capabilities, then how? In the meantime, this is similar to the opinion of the girl who was given the car with a automatic gearbox after a manual gearbox with a manual shift.

      Thirty-one experienced pilots currently flying the F-35A were asked to evaluate the energy and maneuverability of their previous fourth-generation fighters in combat configuration across the entire range of dogfight maneuvers after dropping all their external suspensions. Then they were asked to evaluate the characteristics of the F-35A, using the same scale, with fuel and internal ammunition loading, with combat load, with its current maximum overload and restrictions on the use of weapons. F-35A well stood comparison with four other fighters (F-15C, F-15E, F-16C and a-10) in almost every mode.
      Each pilot was then asked to choose which fighter he would prefer to fly in battle if his clone flying on another plane in six different air-to-air situations was the enemy. (See diagram 1.) If a pilot chose the F-15C in a short-range situation, for example, he felt that he could surpass the equal-ability pilot on the F-35A. Pilots chose the F-35A in 100% of cases in situations outside of visual visibility and more than 80% in dogfight situations, when energy and maneuverability are critical to success.

There are overload restrictions [no longer, already removed!], but even so, the angular rate of turn is incredible at a constant 28 degrees / sec.

    "The number of surface combat units in the Royal Navy, at first glance, may cause a grin: only 4 universal amphibious ships, as well as 18 destroyers and frigates as of 2013 (another destroyer HMS Duncan is currently undergoing sea trials, its entry into service scheduled for 2014).
    Strange characters in front of the name of every British warship (HMS) is nothing more than the abbreviation of Her Majesty's Ship (Her Majesty's Ship).
    Most of the British surface ships belong to the Type 23 frigates, also known as the Duke type. There are 13 units in the ranks, all built between 1987 and 2002.
    From the technical point of view, they are ordinary, unremarkable ships with a displacement of the order of 5000. In total, the British today have 7 multipurpose nuclear submarines - five older Trafalgar built in the 1980s and two newest Estuary submarines.
    "Trafalgar" is a modest submarine with a surface displacement of 4800 tons (submarine - 5300 tons). Submerged speed - 32 knots. The crew is 130 people. Armament - 5 torpedo tubes, ammunition - up to 30 guided Spearfish torpedoes ("swordfish") with a firing range of up to 30 miles (when firing at shorter distances, the torpedo speed can reach 80 knots ≈ 150 km / h). performing escort, patrol and support missions around the globe .....

    It’s strange. If everyone around is so terribly integrated, then why does the United States force its own weapons into NATO members and beyond?
    Why did the United States practically squeeze the production of aircraft by Israel and practically forced to buy US-made aircraft? And not only Israel, the press flashed a lot of reports about US pressure against the production of military equipment by satellite countries.
