Named "Achilles Heel" US Hypersonic Weapons Program

110
One of the leading industry experts in hypersonic technology, Eric Scherff of Lockheed, claims to be the biggest test for an offensive hypersonic production and deployment program. weapons The US will not be technology itself.





Breaking Defense portal writes about this "Achilles heel" of the program US hypersonic weapons as a logistics supply chain.

Problems of deploying an industrial base immediately affected several of the most promising Pentagon projects. First and foremost, of course, this applies to Strike Fighter F-35 JSF. Until now, the unresolved issues of organizing the order, production and delivery of spare parts have led some parts to deal with the so-called cannibalization: that is, to remove parts from aircraft and install them on others, so that at least part of the fleet of the latest stealth fighters is in I'm building. AGM-158 JASSM, a program for the mass production of an American high-precision air-to-surface cruise missile, also touched upon similar problems.

Lockheed Martin Corporation (LM), which manufactures JSF and JASSM, knows about these problems firsthand. That is why the company has gathered a forum dedicated to the global supply chain: the participation of more than 300 suppliers from around the world. This was announced by Vice President of Strategy and Business Development LM Rita Flaherty.

Both Eric Scherff and Flaherty have not identified any specific weaknesses at this time: for example, that there is only one or two companies capable of manufacturing a key component. However, representatives of the concern made it clear that Lockheed is doing everything possible to ensure an uninterrupted logistic flow of equipment, materials and specialists necessary for the development and production of hypersonic weapons.

Lockheed is involved in all three major US programs for the development of hypersonic weapons systems: the army, navy and air force use various launchers to accelerate missiles to the desired speeds.

Program may be undermined by lack of funding


Lockheed also participates in the HAWC (Hypersonic Air-Sreating Weapon Concept) program, which is a joint attempt by Raytheon and Northrop to create hypersonic weapons.

Northrop claims to have created an engine for this project, elements of which can be printed on an 3D printer and which uses conventional “military” fuel. Both companies said at the Paris Air Show that their weapons will fly "in the near future."

Meanwhile, Scherff made it clear that the decision of the Appropriations Committee of the House of Representatives of the US Congress to significantly cut the administration’s hypersonic budget request would hit the preparation of the Long-Range Weapons industrial production and undermine the chances of preparing the necessary base for the planned date of 2023.

          Dear, this is another cliché-slogan - money, money .... money, and so they have enough.
          Recently there was an article that Milevtsev and Kamovtsev in a certain segment will be united, so to speak, but our comrades went away, you can buy everything there ... And the devil is in the details.
          Lockheed Martin Corporation (LM), which manufactures JSF and JASSM, knows about these problems firsthand. That is why the company put together a forum on the global supply chain: in which more than 300 suppliers from around the world participated.

          Roughly speaking, it is not profitable for any company to produce 1000 "parts" by purchasing sophisticated equipment capable of making it and then sitting and picking at the nose.
          ChIZ and Tulmash refused to make vital parts for our production, they now have a lot of orders, and our parts are very time consuming at the final stage and, as it turned out, they finish almost manually with an accuracy of +/- 0.002 microns, in general, the circle is closed, they want to order from us, and we "we break the deadlines." I think if 5 manufactures similar to ours would order similar parts at one plant, then the plant would buy equipment and the machine would not stand idle (maybe there is a plant with such equipment, but we do not know), and so only one extruder head costs 70000 euros., a detail with a finger is 30000 thousand rubles and 88 pieces are needed and they are not taken, because there are other, easier orders.

        We have a historically different attitude to the concept of dying for our homeland. The Americans must do and not die, and the Russians die, but do. Those. death does not stop us, in the struggle for the land and our homeland, it just so happened. I do not see anything wrong with that.

It’s just that our climate contributes to the expenditure of huge resources just for existence, therefore it is not correct to compare even with Europe, not to mention warm countries ...

            Prior to this, the Turkish economy has shown steady growth. However, this period ended in mid-2018, when a currency crisis occurred. The trade war with the United States provoked a sharp drop in the currency of Turkey. Lira fell in price against the dollar by 28%, which made imports more expensive by a third. This prompted the central bank to raise interest rates. Now the rate is a record 24% for Turkey. As a result, car and housing sales, as well as industrial enterprises, were affected.
            In addition, inflationary risks came true. In October, inflation reached 25,2%, which was the highest level in 15 years. Household spending on final consumption throughout the year increased by 1,1%, but in the fourth quarter they decreased by 8,9%.

          But homeless people in the center are still flowers. Because real tin is happening in the Tenderloin area. I was in different assholes of the world, but I did not see such a tin as here. People wallow in the street in their own shit, every second has a syringe in their hands, plus the people are extremely aggressive. Any San Francisco resident will tell you a story about a robbery in the area.
          Tenderloin is located in the heart of San Francisco. The city hall, the conservatory, museums and libraries, the headquarters of Twitter and Uber are a stone's throw from here. And in the midst of all these centers of social life there is a total hell.
          The district got its name either from a good clipping that only unclean policemen could afford before, or from the hips of the prostitutes that Tenderloin was once famous for. In 2011, zoodefenders launched a campaign trying to rename the area, but the locals, led by the mayor, just neighing and waved at them.
          It used to be the center of nightlife, but after World War II, downtown San Francisco was severely depopulated. But since the 70s, refugees from Southeast Asia began to settle here - Vietnamese, Lao, Cambodians, etc. Often they were packed into small studios by several people, so that the houses with such apartments were called "vertical villages" by the police. Over time, part of the area even received the nickname "Little Saigon".
          Although Tenderloin has been a historic district since 2008, it is also known as San Francisco's most dangerous and dirty district.
          In the 60s and 70s, the Filipino gang Bahala Na Gang (BNG), which specialized in racketeering, drug trafficking and contract killings, operated here. Now there are smaller gangs that are mainly involved in the sale of drugs and buying stolen goods.
          In Tenderloin, crimes such as theft (especially from parked cars), robbery, and "aggravated assault" are common. Most crimes are drug related. Here they are sold right on the streets in broad daylight, and not legalized marijuana in California, but in general everything, mainly crack, heroin and various types of amphetamines.
          01. All this happens in the very center of the city! Here is the San Francisco City Hall building. There is parking, tourists, and on the next street heroin addicts are spoiling for themselves.

                Rabinovich sang it to you, it seems. In the States for 2018, 11.8% (38.1 million) of people lived below the poverty line. Those. these are not beggars living on alms, and not homeless (homeless about 600 thousand), namely the poor. The poverty line in Shtatak is quite high and the state helps the poor. For comparison, in 2019, 14.3% (21 million) live below the poverty level in Russia, but the state does not issue food stamps to them. So do not worry about the "hungry" in the States ...

                          Plus, I have not yet compared social programs. California has wild home insurance rates (housing in quotes, made of cardboard and sticks, you knock it out with your foot, these are not Russian meter-high concrete walls), insurers do not want to get involved or use an exorbitant coefficient, constant fires. After last year's fire in the state (one of the most catastrophic of the 15st century), more than 100 thousand houses burned down (officially about 2019 dead), at the time of the summer of 50 only 2018% of the victims were paid. Where they turned over for a year - only God knows. And if there is no insurance - scatter in the trash, the state doesn't care about you. This is not "totalitarian Russia", where after floods and disasters the state provides new housing for free. There was such a beautiful city in CA, Paradise is called, Paradise in Russian, burned down in November 26000, out of more than 25 residents, less than 500 thousand returned, the rest who died, who disappeared, 18 houses that were burned down have not yet been rebuilt. A similar picture is with the hurricanes of the 1400th in Florida and Georgia with XNUMX dead, tens of thousands of injured.
                          By the way, regarding man-made explosions, fires, floods, etc. How is it happening with us - at once a scream for the whole galaxy, and meanwhile in Penosia it burns, floods and takes off much more often, recently the largest refinery on the East Coast in Philadelphia took off, today three NuStar tanks burned down, the main oil storage of the "city on the hill" in Cushing it burns periodically. This is about comparing the effectiveness of Rostechnadzor, the Ministry of Emergencies and American colleagues.

I explain it on my fingers. GDP reflects the market value of all final goods and services intended for direct consumption that were produced for a certain period (quarter, year) in all sectors of the economy on the territory of the state for consumption, export and accumulation, regardless of the nationality of the factors of production used. But for example, in the United States, the calculation of GDP includes the cost of previously produced buildings and structures, including military bases, etc. In Russia, this nonsense is not taken into account (here I will tell you a secret more than 2 times underestimated, even in the face value, not to mention PPP). So the mattress consumes a lot less than the annual gross product. But what kind of picture you can not make for vtyuhivaniya their T-bills and investment attractiveness, especially when the "artists" - their own, pocketgood.

                There are 45 million beggars and homeless people in Matrasia, about 10 million of which the most poor on the planet at the level of Somalia and Yemen

                When you give numbers, then delve deeper into their essence. Poverty is defined differently in different countries. And according to the UN, consumption of less than $ 5 a day is considered poor. "- At first glance, both in Russia and in the United States, poverty is measured in the same way. The cost of a set of goods, without which it is impossible to live, is calculated and compared with the per capita income in a family. But this is where the similarity ends. In general, the cost of living in Russia today is 10 rubles. . per month, in the US more than $ 444, or 1000 rubles. To be among the poor, in America you need to spend more than 65% of your income on food, in Russia - more than 000%. And the main difference is different approaches to determining the necessary expenses " ... -Vyacheslav Bobkov, Head of the Laboratory for Problems of the Level and Quality of Life, Institute of Socio-Economic Problems of Population, Russian Academy of Sciences https://cont.ws/@ardjyna/30

                  You don’t understand what you are writing? It’s absolutely not the difference of criteria, this is not the data of the Pen Dossia, but the data of the UN. The concept of BEGGAR to the United Nations and the IMF is equally applicable to the assessment of any country in the world. Do not tell me at least to me, a sister in LA, since 2010 a US citizen. If my close relative doesn’t have enough data, then go to the Russian-speaking American forums, I can put dozens of such screenshots from there.
                  On YouTube, dial the blogger Alex Brezhnev, he has been living there for 30 years, will tell in detail about "vyalikkyu america" ​​with its millions of hicks, bribes, complete police outrage, massive weekly shootings, tens of millions of drug addicts and other nishtyaks.

                      WIKI, do not write nonsense, but read all my reviews above, there are answers to this blizzard. By the way, in Matrasia it is impossible to physically live on a mower, this is death in a few months, depending on how much you will stretch on the street. Naturally, medicine can not even be mentioned. In my PERSONAL comparison, the quality of life that in Russia I get for 50 thousand re per month is $ 4000-6000 in the States on the East Coast. And do not engage in forgery, mentioning a living wage, it is used in completely different situations, the poverty line in Russia is an income of less than 21 thousand rubles, and in Russia it is not 21,5% but 19%.
                      But let’s digress on another topic, beyond the puddle, because now farts are blazing on the entire Solar Systemlaughing.
                      Russophobes of all sorts hoped that Syria would become the 2nd Afghan or Chechnya for Russia, and countless losses against the backdrop of unbearable expenses would lead to a national depression and revolution. Instead, Russia masterfully took control of the region, and the notorious hegemon disgraced himself shamefully, and even disgraced himself to the whole world of useless air defense in Saudi Arabia. Der Spiegel: "The withdrawal of US troops opens the way for Vlad Putin. Now Russia, the last superpower in the region, can freely pursue its interests" https://spiegel.de/politik/ausland/donald-trump-zieht-truppen-aus-syrien- ab-geschenk-fuer-wladimir-putin-a-1291503.html

There’s a really cold Civil War in Matrasia, monuments to the Confederates are being felled, lots of revelations at all in Congress and the DB, weekly mass shootings on the streets, Democrats and Republicans in cities converge in hand-to-hand combat, the number of white Anglo-Saxons has dropped to critical 20%, 350 million trunks per hands, the Fed trying to repay the bankruptcy of the giants (Ford, GE, GM, all shale, etc.) launched the machine for $ 600 billion, and then on the list.

Yes, Matrasia owes its life to the Russians, when they were actually given independence, having defended their squadron from the British Empire. Remind the words of the then striped-eared president "about the unpaid debt to Russia"? Yes, and there was something to learn from them at least now, $ two-trillion corruption in Pontagon, legalized bribery in intergalactic proportions, vile "tolerance", unleashing dozens of colonial wars, weekly mass shootings, universal snitching, the largest number of convicts and convicts on the globe the highest number of suicides in the army, the dependence of almost 80% of the population on narcotic antidepressants, etc.?
