The Japanese demonstrated the first F-35, assembled in the country

The first F-35 combat aircraft assembled in Japan was presented to journalists at the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Corporation plant in Aichi Prefecture. After the test flights, two such vehicles will be handed over to the country's air force during the current fiscal year. TASS with reference to the news agency Kyodo

The Japanese demonstrated the first F-35, assembled in the country


The F-35 was developed by Lockheed Martin, an American corporation with the participation of a number of NATO countries and other US allies as the main combat tactical multipurpose aircraft. It is made by technology "stealth", making it unobtrusive to radar.

The Air Force, Navy, and US Marine Corps are planning to purchase more than 2,6 thousand of such fighters of various modifications over the course of several decades. In Japan, they will be assembled under license and should gradually become the basis of the country's air forces. The first F-35 is supposed to be deployed at the Misawa Air Force Base in the north of the main Japanese island of Honshu.

Total Japanese Air Force plan to buy 42 such aircraft. The United States Air Force has already deployed the 10 F-35 at the Iwakuni Air Force Base in southwest Honshu.

      Italians also collect at home. The assembly is very unusual, complex - almost all carbon.
      Tolerances - up to 1 mm when mounting an entire wing, for example. No welding, no familiar rivets.

    I remind the idiots that:
    The assembly of F-35 fighters is carried out at three plants - in Fort Worth (Texas, USA), Cameri (Italy) and Nagoya (Japan).

    Fighters are already based in four countries
    Pilots from 8 countries fly F-35
    11 countries buy F-35
    These aircraft are already deployed at 12 bases
    The price of the aircraft fell by an average of 60%
    More than 200 aircraft of this type produced
    400 pilots and 4000 technicians fully trained
    in 2022 more than 1000 fighters of this type will fly
    F-35C flew over 10 thousand hours
    F-35B flew over 25 thousand hours
    F-35A flew over 55 thousand hours
    Total - more than 90 thousand hours of flight time

              . Declaration of an initial operating capability may imply that the capability will be developed in the future, for example by modifications or adjustments to improve the system's performance, deployment of greater numbers of systems (perhaps of different types), or testing and training that permit wider application of the capability.

              The above means that military equipment, including aircraft, in a state of “initial combat readiness” can go through three wars, five upgrades, shoot down enemy planes, bomb, ... but never achieve the planned “full combat readiness”. Oh! How awful ... winked

            Air defense - defensive weapons. nobody was ever defeated by defense.
            Until an adequate attacking potential is built up, one cannot dream of a positive outcome, it is simply impossible even theoretically.
            The problematic position of the Russian Federation is that it deals exclusively with defense, and
            it only provokes the aggressiveness of its opponents. We can supply millions of S-300, s-400, s500 batteries on our territory, but if our aviation is several times inferior in numbers, then this will be infinite pressure. And defense overheads will simply suffocate the economy and life within. A good example of North Korea.
            Therefore, the refusal to produce offensive weapons (reduction of the state order by T50, armature, etc.) can have much more serious consequences than it seems.
            This will contribute to the isolation strategy of our country.
            The Russian Federation is as persistent as China, with its expeditionary force, to develop external forces - from amphibious assault forces to 5th generation fighters.
            and to cries that there is no money, but hold on, it is worth responding by analyzing internal processes, cuts and other types of theft and wrecking.
            Putting order in this matter now stands as a strategic task for the survival of the state, because internal economic problems at least halve the potential of the state.
            Although this path is at a standstill, because it is impossible to win the arms race, controlling much less resources after the surrender of everything and everything by Gorbachev + Shevornadze.
            It seems to me that the Russian Federation needs to re-learn to be useful to neighbors economically and culturally, without causing harm to itself.
