In each barrel gag. F-35 integrated into the US air defense system

The US Missile Defense Agency (US Missile Defense Agency) has announced plans to deploy F-2025 Lightning II fighters in the air defense system by 35, Warspot reports with reference to breakingdefense.com

Location of radars and other target detection systems on the F-35 fighter

It will take us six to seven years to expand the capabilities of the F-35 and develop a new fast rocket, as well as integrate them into the existing missile defense system. If this plane does not change the rules of the game, it will become an important element for the fight against ballistic missiles.

- said the head of the US Missile Defense Agency, Lieutenant General Samuel Graves.

According to Graves, F-35 fighters can already be used to detect and track ballistic missiles during the initial phase of flight, while testing of the aircraft's subsystems continues. In addition, by 2025, it is planned to complete the development program for a special version aviation missiles designed to destroy ballistic missiles.

The US Department of Defense indicates that the entire army will receive the X-NUMX F-2443 fighter. Of these, 35 aircraft are designed for the Air Force and will be based on American bases in different parts of the world. Thus, the Missile Defense Agency will receive effective means for hitting ballistic missiles at the initial stage of their flight, while the existing air defense system will continue to be used for hitting targets at the middle and terminal phases of flight.

[aliis-M]

I thought that speed (both cruising and jerking) and deployment speed are important for the interceptor (as far as I know, preparation of the F-35 takes longer than preparation for the departure of the same F-15), and the stealth technology is absolutely not critical. I agree with everyone who said above that this is more likely to "shove the non-pushable" than a really good step.

[Safevi]

F16 I personally consider it a good fighter, by no means a ground attack aircraft or, moreover, a bomber.

F-16 was created as a fighter for the battle against the MiG-21.
With the development of technology, after the appearance of the Soviet 4th generation and the retirement of the MiG-21, he ceased to be a fighter - due to the inability to fulfill this function - and was retrained as a drummer.

From the very appearance, the Su-27 has been called the “fighter-interceptor” ... The fighter “to gain air superiority”, he became for some time “after”.
T-10С got into mass production in the 1981 year. AL-31F engines were also mass-produced for him at the factories of the Salyut MMPP in Moscow and at the MPO in Ufa. In the Soviet Air Force, aircraft began to be delivered in the 1982 year. And officially, by a government decree, the Su-27 entered service on 23 on August 1990. At the time of adoption in the Air Force, the aircraft was named Su-27С, and in the air defense it was called an interceptor (Su-27П). It was not used as an attack aircraft. Su-27P-fighter-interceptor, designed for one pilot. Used exclusively for air defense.

[Conserp]

All of these aircraft are multifunctional to varying degrees.

[Conserp]

Since such a booze has gone ... Every eighth F-16 released has already crashed.

35% of the F-16s were decommissioned without flying even 5 years, due to defects.
64% did not live to be 10 years old.
More than 80% could not fly 15 years.

But the F-16 is still not bad in comparison with the F-35.

[Sergey985]

Will be. No options, I agree. But the very concept of a universal aircraft is erroneous, at least in this version. Invisibility is a purely marketing move when the rest of the characteristics are sacrificed. That he is now poorly visible on radar screens (supposedly). And in 5-10 years?

[Black Colonel]

And why is it invisible to a ballistic missile - so as not to redirect its megatons?

[KCA]

How many airbases around the world are this mass spread? At 100? And how many of them will be in Europe, the only place where they threaten us?

Yes, for air defense and missile defense you can even use helicopters only problem

In addition, by 2025 it is planned to complete the development program for a special version of an aircraft missile designed to destroy ballistic missiles.

And here there are only plans so far ... The whole idea of ​​making this pepelats an interceptor is that it needs to be pulled in even as a transporter, but pulled in ... It doesn’t roll like an attack and it’s worse than a F16 ... so that everything is clear ... I think those with vertical take-off can also be announced for a landing ...

[Sergey985]

Landing, evacuation of the wounded from the forefront. A very versatile aircraft turned out. We envy silently!

[voyaka uh]

F-35 - the first fighter with an open software architecture. It does not have a hard link between hardware and software. Therefore, it can be redone literally on the go. We cut it before anyone else, and so grabbed it. Whatever weapon system (in reasonable dimensions) or avionics you think of, you can put it on the F-35 faster and easier than on any other plane.
Therefore, of them it is possible, like Lego, to make up battle groups of various configurations composed of aircraft with different weapons and devices.

[NEOZ]

Quote: voyaka uh

with open software architecture

The software does not affect the performance characteristics of the aircraft!

[Topotun]

Sorry, but open architecture doesn’t mean that you can shove the RCC you need 6 meters long into its armament compartment. Yes, of course, the ability to quickly change the composition of software and hardware expands your capabilities somewhat. But, the dimensions of the aircraft, its supporting structures, the output sockets for attachments with a light mouse movement can not be moved ....
As for combat capabilities - time will tell. The T-34 was far from the best tank during WWII in a number of ways. But among the best in the aggregate price, combat effectiveness. Time will tell who is worth what. It’s a pity that in this case blood will be shed again .....

Well, in the history of only one documented case where the artillery hit the plane. And it was in Vietnam. The probability that you can shoot down at least some military aircraft from the ganship is extremely low. Still, a rocket is a more realistic option.

[Sergey985]

An external target designation is needed as a missile defense system (and the aircraft itself must be sent to the desired area, so the aircraft’s radar does not pull here in any way). And no one needs his stealth in this case. As a platform for placing weapons, I repeat once again, not the best option

"Thus, the Missile Defense Agency will receive effective means to destroy ballistic missiles at the initial stage of their flight."
Those. we swell a cloud of money into a rocket, which can only be launched into a launched rocket. Question: How is he to the launch pad of a ballistic missile and who will let him go there?

[voyaka uh]

This is the whole trick. Air defense radars with difficulty detect it and easily lose it. If interceptors stumble upon it in optical or visual contact, it will be knocked down, taking advantage of the speed.
But DO NOT stumble, it could well penetrate deep into the territory and attack launch BRs or BRs on takeoff with missiles from internal compartments.

[Astoria]

Air defense radars with difficulty detect it and easily lose it

- Are you talking about whose radars, about your own or the old Syrian?

can penetrate deep into the territory and attack launch launchers or missile launchers on take-off by missiles from internal compartments.

- and also can brew a cappuccino and cross stitch

[voyaka uh]

"Are you talking about whose radars, about your own or the old Syrian?" ////

Any country today.

[Astoria]

Any country today.

- only in your wet dreams.

[Shahno]

About the Iranian ..... If that, how long would have raised a howl ....

[alstr]

In order to penetrate - you need to know when the launch. If you do not know this, then the reaction time will be much longer than the transit time of the initial section of the ballistic missile.
Those. if for Sev. Korea - it will pass, then for Russia it’s past the cash register, because F-35 simply will not reach there in range.

[voyaka uh]

"for Russia, it’s past the ticket office, because the F-35 simply won’t reach it in range." ///

Here you are right: ICBMs in the regions of the Urals and western Siberia are protected from most means of attack by the very fact of the depth of the territory.

[alstr]

In fact, at best, you can intercept launches from Kozelsk and Tatishchevo (stationary mines). Moreover, it is in these areas with air defense that is somehow better.

Now the question is: How many f-35 missiles will fit into the internal compartments?
It seems that a maximum of 2 (due to size). But still need rockets for self-defense.
Those. one F-35 per BR. And I'm sorry, this is no longer scary. Because a crowd of 30 pieces of aircraft, even the F-35, is a well-detectable target simply by virtue of quantity. Not to mention the fact that the concentration of such forces in the Baltic States and Ukraine (and in any other way) is a signal to increase combat readiness and take preventive measures

Hence a simple conclusion - it just drank the dough. The combat value of this proposal is low. It is even lower than the existing missile defense.

[Shahno]

But so now you have raised the issue of the tactics of using 35 x. If you know, then yes, but if not ... the main message is part of the system ....

[alstr]

Yes, what a tactic. This is the usual logic imposed on the knowledge of TTX. If a lot of things have gathered somewhere, then it is worth waiting for a blow from there.

[Shahno]

So you can’t understand in any way that there will be no attack from that direction .... This is a fight ... The more electronics, the more perfect the system, the faster the system works, the more screws such as 35, the less chance of a successful exit of the BR ... You forget, even lack of care, surprise ...

[alstr]

If we consider Russia and its BR, then for the F-35 are available only BR North-West. According to TTX, its combat radius is about 1 thousand km., Which makes it possible to fly only from the Baltic side (otherwise it just will not fly or will fly over St. Petersburg or Belarus, where the air defense is serious).
Hence the simple conclusion that if more than 4 F-35s appear in the Baltic, then a strike is planned. We must take action.
Logic and nothing more.

Yes, the strike may not be, but it is necessary to prepare.

[Setrac]

Quote: Shahno

The more electronics, the more perfect the system, the faster the system works.

Alas, but only in computer games. I pumped "on-board electronics" for plus twenty - and the urine of enemies.

[voyaka uh]

"it just drank dough" ////

The costs are minimal. But it still appears indication of the launch of the BR, and is transmitted over the network to all other means of missile defense. This is the main point, and not the destruction of BR forces by the F-35

[alstr]

Well, they can and can track the launch, but here it is unlikely to destroy a rocket, because They will shoot after them, and there completely different speeds are needed.
But then again, why, if there are already other working systems?

And about the destruction, then why make a rocket, if the point is not not to destroy the BR? I see only one - to cut the loot

[Shahno]

Well, it depends on the performance characteristics of the interceptor missile ... See 6 does wow intercepts targets in 8 m ... oh, I forgot to mention, this is the perimeter control mode for attacking from above, not the catch-up course ... you count there on catch-up do not have time to get out, if you miss the attack ...

[Butchcassidy]

Amid how much has already been spent and is still planned, the costs are really minimal.
It’s just that the American military-industrial complex loves to eat, even as it loves)) and the output is far from always giving a quality product. But he perfectly owns the magic of lobbying and the destruction of potential competitors. About the same Lavi, I think, it’s not worth reminding.

[Shahno]

And intelligence, counterintelligence for what?

If they make an air-to-air missile with a range of 300 kilometers or more and a speed of at least 15–20 Machs, then the interception of the ballistic missile and ballistic missiles at take-off is quite real.

[Thunderbolt]

There is a visual video of how this aircraft detects torches of launched ballistic missiles. Now they also want missiles to the sensors, in addition, it can exchange information with land and sea missile defense systems. In the future, it will certainly pose a certain threat to our strategic forces (in conjunction with a drone -fuel tanker).

Everything passed and nothing came of it, well, except that there was an experience in creating all these unimportant things and understanding of what is really needed.
So is the F-35, after investing such an amount of funds in a car very controversial in terms of quality, the customer, realizing that there is still no way back, is trying to smear his costs by region, vparing this miracle to his allies, but in parallel with this trying to understand where nevertheless this stuccion can fit in such a way that it does not protrude.
