American stealth bomber B-2 Spirit will not be upgraded

American heavy strategic bomber Northrop Grumman B-2 Spiri was left without a comprehensive modernization. As transmits "Warspot" referring to the portal defensenews.com, the US Air Force command decided to change the program for the modernization of stealth bombers.

According to the publication, a decision was made instead of a comprehensive program of modernization Defensive Management System Modernization (DMS-M), which provides for the replacement of sensors, airborne systems and the introduction of new technologies that allow the aircraft to "confront Russia and China," to carry out a small modernization. Details of the entire improvement are not given, but it is known that only cosmetic changes to the cockpit will be made at B-2: a new graphics processor and displays will be installed.

In October last year, it was reported that the first B-2 bomber was modernized. Details of the upgrade were not provided, but it is known that the B-2 received EW systems, new antennas, as well as advanced computing systems. In the cockpit, developers mounted new information screens. All these improvements should provide the bomber pilots with more information about the detected threats, as well as detect the enemy radar and interfere.

The modernization was carried out due to the obsolescence of the aircraft, which was no longer able to conduct military operations in closed areas with the same efficiency. According to the military, after installing new systems, the aircraft will be able to operate in areas under the control of enemy air defense.

Apparently the first modernized V-2 will remain the only one that has undergone a complete modernization.

The B-2 strategic bomber was developed in the late 1980s with the widespread use of stealth technologies to overcome enemy air defense zones. Flight range - up to 11,1 thousand km, speed - up to 1 thousand km / h. In two internal compartments, the V-2 can carry up to 18 tons of bombs, the maximum load is 23 tons. In 1988-1999, 21 such aircraft were produced, 20 of which today are in service with the US Air Force.

American stealth bomber B-2 Spirit will not upgrade

Why upgrade it? He, and as having come down from the pages of books about the distant future. In our country, a similar PAK-DA is shown only in the pictures so far, and judging by the SU-57, they will bring the prototype to another 20 years.

[KCA]

For a development cost of 22 billion and a cost of 20 B-2 44,65 billion, Tupolev will not make a PAK-DA, but a space bomb to patrol the solar system from Mercury to Neptune

Spirit is already an old man - the first flight in 1989, has been in operation since the 97th. The bombers were regularly upgraded - design flaws were eliminated, new avionics were installed, and software was updated. In the light of numerous military programs, as well as hoping that soon the B-21 Raider would be on the wing of the B-XNUMX Raider, the Spirits apparently decided to leave it "as it is" - the plane already exceeded all reasonable limits in terms of cost.
The Americans regularly upgrade their B-52, and so far they are not going to abandon them.

The Americans took into account the experience of operating this machine. That's all. And in the service too. That's what makes the B-21 Raider. Moreover, it seems successful. Which will replace the very expensive Spirit to operate.

The Americans are focusing on the promising (in their opinion) B-21. Deciding not to spend money on an already old, expensive and very small airplane.

PS It’s like a plane that is over three decades old is not the first freshness. And, if you are trained to read, you should have noticed that I did not compare it with the devices you indicated. So work hard next time to the point.

The Pentagon immediately indicated that it would not take the Raider if the price exceeds $ 0,5 billion. per unit - so the price is known.
Spirit is worth more than 2 billion ..

[TermNachTer]

Yes, the price is fantastic, but efficiency is a big question. It is a pity, of course, if the mattress toppers "threw in" another 20-30 lard in modernization, it would be fun.

[KCA]

Tell me, where can I see the perfect combat use?

[Pavel57]

It seems to be in Yugoslavia, although it is rumored that one was decommissioned after receiving a hole from a rocket.

[KCA]

The ideal use of an airplane for 2.1 billion dollars is to drop a couple of bombs like on a training ground? But what about stealth, how about a breakthrough in powerful air defense? How to hide from enemy fighters, pretending to be a small paper airplane, instead of a huge pelvis? Our TU-95MSM, which is all in service, does not stand as one B-2, and how the strategists showed themselves, they shot off with 1000 km on ISIS

[Grigory_45]

Quote: KCA

Our TU-95MSM ... and how the strategists showed themselves, they shot back from 1000km on ISIS

- here in Syria - it’s real as at a training ground, nothing is threatening - neither fighters (which the barmalei simply do not have), nor air defense systems (those other than MANPADS - nothing).

Iraq and Yugoslavia were not an easy walk. The country possessed, although not modern, but quite numerous medium-range complexes, radar, as well as fighter aircraft. And the Spiritists did not suffer a single loss, although they acted completely autonomously - without covering EW fighters and aircraft

[Volder]

In Yugoslavia, this bomber was shot down by an old Soviet S-125 anti-aircraft gun and the wreckage was shown to the whole world. And the locals on earth deceived the bomb guidance system with conventional microwave ovens in the bushes. It was after the shame in Yugoslavia that the B-52 was discontinued, realizing that it was not invisible to anyone.

Quote: Volder

firstly, neither the Tomahawks, nor the bombs with GPS or laser-guided using a microwave can be taken anywhere. They have completely different guidance systems that do not respond to some other emerging source. The coordinates of the target are embedded in the memory of the rocket, or the target is highlighted by a laser beam (from the ground, from UAVs, etc.). Do not bullshit if you do not understand the principles of building guidance systems for high-precision munitions

Quote: Volder

I am already silent about IRIS and corner reflectors, which also deceived rockets in Yugoslavia.

you are not technically literate at all. How does PRR (anti-radar missile) work ??? About which, by the way, you initially did not even stutter.

Most modern PRRs have an inertial guidance system (ANN) and GPS to heap. The plane was irradiated once - the pilot pressed a button - the rocket went off. First, according to the ANN, and then focusing on radar radiation, the GOS PRR distinguishes the handwriting of the radar target against the background of other radiations and interference. All. Rebuild the radar in frequency, turn it off completely - PRR does not care, it already has coordinates, the rocket flies. And neither a microwave, nor even more so corner reflectors (which a priori do not radiate anything, will help you here. Enlighten what it is and what reflectors are for)
The rocket exploded, destroyed the radar antenna.

And then - the most interesting. According to the notched coordinates, a pair — the three links of attack aircraft — enter the position of an already-blown SAM system, and they bombard it with a sea of ​​fragmentation bombs or flood it with napalm.

Everything, write a funeral.

You're not right. Russia is armed with the "Resonance-N" radar complex, which implements a new physical principle of resonant reflection of radio waves. Detection range and target designation for aerodynamic air targets - 600 km. Stealth technology is ineffective in the range of this radar. Russia also has an over-the-horizon "Container" radar capable of detecting stealth aircraft at a distance of 3 km. The response time will be sufficient to raise the combat interceptor aircraft on alarm to meet the stealth bomber and destroy it to the point of dropping bombs or missiles.

I strongly recommend that you familiarize yourself with the story of how the Russian professor V.V. Kashinov helped the Yugoslavians to repel missile strikes. Type in the search engine: "Anti-weapon" engineer Kashinov.

you overestimate the capabilities of the stations. More precisely, out of ignorance you attribute to them miraculous abilities.
3 thousand km (or rather, from 900 to 3 000 km) - this is generally the range of the station. It is not said that on stealth. According to them - should be much lower. And again I repeat - stealth is not an invisible plane, it can be detected, but depending on what distance?
In addition, the Container is a two-coordinate. Enlighten yourself, what does this mean? The radar is not capable a priori of giving out even the slightest approximate coordinates of the target, it only warns "a massive attack is being carried out from such and such a direction." All.

Resonance is a three-coordinate, but ... It is meter, and you even looked at the characteristics briefly? The error in elevation and azimuth is one and a half degrees. Now recall the trigonometry, and consider what the length of the base of the triangle will be (in fact, this is the distance along the front and the height at which stealth will have to look for interceptors on their own) with an angle between its sides of 1,5 degrees and a triangle height of 600 Km

And again, these are all ground-based radars. What about airplanes and rockets?

[Volder]

3 thousand km (or rather, from 900 to 3 000 km) - this is generally the range of the station. It is not said that on stealth. According to them - should be much lower.

Well, let 2 thousand km - still far away.

Quote: Gregory_45

A container is a two-coordinate. The radar is not capable a priori of giving out even the slightest approximate coordinates of the target, it only warns "a massive attack is being carried out from such and such a direction." All.

No, not all! The Container station is capable of observing air targets far beyond the borders of Russia and in time to open the take-off of planes or the launch of enemy missiles in the direction of Russia. That is, the station finds and takes flying objects for escort, indicating the exact coordinates. As a result, the European countries of NATO will not be able to quietly take off bombers. The height of these objects is not so important to know, because two coordinates are enough to send our interceptor aircraft in that direction. And in terms of height, they will orient themselves thanks to their own radars. There will also be time to put our air defense and electronic warfare system on high alert.

According to the developers of "Resonance" (the scientific leaders of CJSC "Research Center" Resonance "), the radar provides high-precision target designation with an accuracy of up to a few meters.

[Grigory_45]

So you solved the simplest problem on trigonometry? What is the length of the base of the triangle with the above parameters? (I didn’t take angles and range from the ceiling either, but from the officially published station data) What is the length of the front and the vertical take-off (ceiling?) Give accurate data (in meters, kilometers, millimeters - as you please) This will resolve the dispute, with what accuracy the station determines the coordinates - and there will be no need for allegations. Still so simple)

The answer is 31 km. Meter stations, due to their inherent limitations (these are already the laws of physics) have mediocre accuracy.

Quote: Volder

perhaps it was in the USSR. Russia is now actively involved in the export of weapons. Moreover, in a highly competitive environment. So the characteristics are unlikely to be understated. The advertisement is engine of the trade. Do not praise the products - no one will take it. Previously, the USSR supplied equipment "out of friendship", now - all the same for money. So I wouldn't be surprised if the data is real, or even inflated.
And, a tricky question: why don't our "incredible friends" also underestimate the characteristics of their weapons? Think logically - such a possibility cannot be ruled out either.

Any technique has its limitations, and this should be taken calmly. You cannot jump above the laws of physics. Meter stations, as already mentioned, cannot be compared in accuracy with UHF, and even more so with SM and MM radar. Or will you, like our recent "brothers", start rewriting everything that is inconvenient for you ??

[Volder]

Well, why did you start a dispute about the accuracy of the radar? Neither I, nor anyone else claimed that meter-long radars are able to direct missiles. Each radar has its own task. Rockets aim at other radars. Do you think this is bad or what? Why are you spewing out your "deep, highly intelligent" knowledge? Are you hinting that Russian radars are so unfortunate that they simply don't deserve to be in service? If you are not hinting, then, probably, we should be glad that we can see, identify and give target designation to stealth aircraft. You are happy?
According to the purpose of the radar are classified:
Radar detection;
Radar control and tracking;
panoramic radars;
Radar side view;
Radar target designation;
Radar counter-battery;
navigation radar, radar;
Radar Survey, etc.
If something doesn’t suit you, you can just as well spit on the fact that our radars are not able to see the opposite side of the globe, that our cruise missiles do not fly at a distance of 10 thousand km, that Russia cannot shoot down stealth aircraft over US territory, and so on.

CDs are in the first wave.

As well as a superantistels aircraft, the TU-95, which fired bombs in Syria and was not shot down, a plane that any air defense systems can see and hear at all, but if they are not there initially, or if they have been destroyed for about three weeks, which problems - flew in, threw off bombs, flew away, he just was not in danger, so the B-2, you still ask why not a single B-2 was shot down when carrying out bombing at the Nevada training ground.

[Grigory_45]

Quote: KCA

TU-95, which carried out a bombing in Syria and was not shot down

I repeat: in Syria, the Barmalei side is not threatened by aviation if it operates outside the MANPADS and MZA fire zones. Tu-95 didn’t attack the targets from a shaver or from a dive? EW at barmaley
also no. Well, do not write nonsense in this case. For strategic aviation, operations in Syria were akin to operations at the training ground.

Quote: KCA

air defense means, but if they weren’t initially, or they’ve been destroyed for about three weeks, what problems did it fly in, drop bombs, fly away, it’s just not threatened

In Yugoslavia, B-2 operated from the first days of the war (for the first time, the Spiritists attacked targets on the territory of Yugoslavia on March 24, 1999 - on the very first day of the war). During the 78-day air campaign, six B-2s made 49 sorties, dropped 656 adjustable JDAM bombs and hit 33% of the targets in Serbia destroyed during the first eight weeks of the war. Yes, this is a completely ineffective aircraft))))

Although FRY air defense was suppressed relatively quickly, individual anti-aircraft batteries operated until the end of the war. So the risk of running into an anti-aircraft missile was not so small. However, the Spiritists did not suffer losses. Learn the story)

[KCA]

Did the individual S-75 and S-125 batteries work? Their location was known to a centimeter, especially the S-75, did the B-2 flight route run right above them? Do not tell my slippers, besides, the latest S-125 was in 1978, but in general the S-125 has been in service since 1961, the S-75 in general since the 57th, and they need B-52 to shoot down 4-5 launch rockets simultaneously

[Grigory_45]

Quote: KCA

did the B-2 flight route run right above them? Do not tell my slippers

route F-117 ran right above the battery. This is a counterargument to you.
Second: as already mentioned, the Spiritists acted from the first day of the war, when the air defense of the FRY was not yet suppressed
Third: B-2 raided Belgrade, automatically falling into the air defense defeat zone, which covered the capital.

Are you trying to prove that there was no risk of getting an anti-aircraft missile? So this is a priori losing statement.

Or are you stupidly arguing for the sake of arguing? Already recommended to you - learn the story)

[KCA]

And he was shot down, the S-125 was silent, for several days at all, they thought it was destroyed, the rolls were relaxed, and they were inserted between them. JDAM range of 28 km, S-125 range of 40 km, nonsingularly entered the B-2 destruction zone, so they bombed from the edge

[Grigory_45]

Quote: KCA

nonsingularly entered the affected area of ​​the B-2

our missile carriers generally did not enter the airspace of the ATS. However, here you are praising combat use, and the fact that the B-2 was practically hanging over the target in the enemy’s air defense coverage area is ground conditions. Yeah)) Is everything all right with logic?

Hike, you are not aware of our latest advances in radar. On the Internet, you can find information (if you try) about how to detect subtle targets. Our military is not just building radar stations along the border perimeter. Most of them can detect stealth because operate in different frequency ranges and wavelengths. Also, our S-400 air defense systems see "invisible" ...

[Grigory_45]

Quote: Volder

Campaign you

It seems you did not understand the essence of stealth technology.
Firstly, the detection range is greatly reduced.
Secondly, the range of taking an object for tracking is significantly reduced. All current radars that are being guided are either centimeter or millimeter, because the DMV or MV radar is much more bulky, and you can’t stick it into a fighter, and even more so into a rocket. The dimensions of the antenna are not for such devices. Well, you will see the stealth using a ground-based MV or DMV radar, but what's the point? You cannot shoot. And MV radars, in addition, give very, very mediocre accuracy of target coordinates. Use them for guidance does not work.

Gregory_45. SAM radar with a detection range of 600 km of an aircraft with EPR = 4 m2, at what distance will the F-35 be detected? If line of sight allows. This is the question for your incorrect answer. Can you refute?

[Grigory_45]

Quote: Geni

SAM radar with a detection range of 600 km aircraft with EPR = 4 m2

Do we have these? Six hundred is a bomber type target (with an EPR of a hundred square meters) at high altitude.
But okay, let's assume that the radar is purely hypothetical.

Quote: Geni

at what distance will the F-35 be detected? If line of sight allows.

Do you know the radar equation? All things being equal, and if very rude, then detection range is proportional to the fourth root of the object’s EPR value.

If we assume that a target with an EPR of 4 sq. M is detected over 600 km, then a target with an EPR of 0,1 sq m will be theoretically detected over 238 km from the radar. That is, the distance was reduced by more than 2,5 times.

And if we consider that a fighter target is detected by a real, existing radar no further than 300-350 km, then a stealth plane can use its weapon before it is detected or can provide guidance on missiles and interceptors.

and we have such? Six hundred is a bomber type target (with EPR under a hundred square meters) at high altitude.

Grigory_45, radar 91N6E S-400 has a detection range of D = 600 km for targets with EPR = 4 m2. I have indicated above if direct visibility allows. For some reason you do not know such a radar. What is strange?

Do you know the radar equation? All other things being equal, and if very rough, then the detection range is proportional to the fourth root of the ESR value of the object.
If we assume that a target with an EPR of 4 sq. M is detected over 600 km, then a target with an EPR of 0,1 sq m will be theoretically detected over 238 km from the radar. That is, the distance was reduced by more than 2,5 times.

Grigory_45 (Grigory), I know not only the equations of radar, but also radar. The average ESR of F-35 is 0,3 m2, not 0,1 m2. Therefore, the detection range of the F-35 radar 91N6E will be equal to D = 314 km in direct line of sight. When using anti-aircraft missiles 40H6E, F-35 will be destroyed. Moreover, the 40H6E missile target indication is necessary only at the beginning of the launch, and then the F-35 simply does not have chances in our example beyond the radio horizon.

And given that a fighter target is detected by a real, existing radar no further than 300-350 km, then the stealth plane can use its weapon before it is detected or can provide guidance on missiles and interceptors.

The Irbis N035 Su-35 radar will detect the F-35 at a distance of D = 225 km in line of sight and destroy it with an R-37M missile. The F-35 will not even be able to use its RVV-BD.

[Grigory_45]

Quote: Geni

The radar 91N6E S-400 has a detection range of D = 600 km for targets with an ESR = 4 m2.

once again: a detection range of up to 600 km is a B-52 type bomber targeting a class at high altitude. Learn the materiel, the characteristics of 91H6E are known, the detector was used as part of the S-300 complex

It is you, Grigory, who will have to learn the materiel and not be arrogant. The "Resonance-N" radar of the meter range provides such an accuracy of detecting objects (including stealth aircraft and small drones) that it can identify them and issue target designations for air defense systems or interceptor aircraft.

Nevertheless, "Spirits" - perhaps the only ones from LA - did not suffer combat losses. As far as we know, there were no anti-aircraft missile launches on them. Those. the plane completed the task.

[dauria]

Well, so they are filming the B-21. This is essentially the modernization of the B-2,

These are cars of different classes. B-2 strategist B-21 long-range bomber. Radius 3800 without refueling (from load). Between Tu-22m and Tu-160. And it is primarily necessary for the fleet against the future Chinese Navy, which now does not look weak.
Previously, they did not need cars of this class, there was no enemy. Now they woke up. I am sure that the improved analogue of our X-22 or "dagger" -pcr has already been muddied.

[voyaka uh]

Both are strategists. The B-21 has the same radius as the B-2, but less than half
bomb load.

[dauria]

For Tu-22m3
Combat radius with a load of 12 kg:
on subsonic mixed profile: 2410 km
For B-21 without refueling up to 3600 (load not specified)

This is the same strategist as I am a ballerina. The usual long-range bomber. The range is greater than that of the "carcass" because it is optimized only for subsonic sound, the "flying wing" scheme, and yet 30 years have passed - and the engines have been screwed up in terms of gluttony. There are no miracles, it is too small for a strategist.
However, you can call it what you want - a couple of men on a fly chipper spun around the ball, probably also a "strategist".

[voyaka uh]

"it is too small for a strategist" ////

Is it too small for bomb loading?

Is it too small for bomb loading?

He's just "small". Until the most amazing wonder engines were invented, the airframe - fuel-load - thrust - wing area ratios will remain classic. However, the ferry range of the F-35 with three refuelings - congratulations, Israel has a "strategist". Call whatever you want.
The B-21 is not just an airplane, it is the class of bombers that the Americans "hammered in" in the 60s. Now it turned out - very much needed. And as at sea, and in the air defense as loitering, and the Pacific theater because of China has become restless.

As well as several war games, which also eat a lot of money. One day of war costs hundreds of thousands, if not millions.

it seems that one B-2 "smell from Kansas" or "spirit of Kansas" crashed, the pilots fortunately survived. One burned, was restored. Maximum load 27 tons, normal 25 tons.

Therefore, stealth aircraft usually accompany AWACS, giving target designation to stealth aircraft.

How does the stealth bomber know in advance the coordinates of the mobile air defense systems? Did the bird sing in a dream? :) As soon as he turns on his radar in flight, he will be immediately attacked by air defense missiles. It is clear that in Yugoslavia and Iraq, outdated air defense systems with a short range, unable to reach at a height of B-2. But if we talk about Russia, then the B-2 will not dare to turn on its onboard radar, and will not even dare to get closer than 500 km to the borders of Russia because of the S-400 and our interceptor aircraft. Purely theoretically, in order to drop bombs and not reveal themselves, the "invisible" resorts to the help of AWACS. This AWACS may not approach the air defense coverage area.

in fact, this is not the primary task of stealth bombers, chasing mobile air defense systems (all kinds of Bukami and Carapace there), there are other means for this. You will not quickly turn off S-400 or Patriot air defense systems. You can find an air defense system’s position, in particular, using satellites (in the optical, infrared and radar bands).

The goals of B-2 type aircraft are stationary objects, important administrative and military ones: control centers, warehouses, factories, stationary radars, power plants, dams, etc.

- local air defense did not reach him in height,
- Yugoslav fighters had outdated radars, and there were few aircraft (about 15 pcs.),

And in this there is one of the reasons why they do not want to modernize Spirit, and threw money and energy to create a cheaper Raider V-21
It can be riveted in the number of 100-200 units, and the loss of several cars will not become a national tragedy, as would be the case with the loss of one or two 2 billionth Spirit

it is you, repeating the ravings of journalists from the yellow press. Serious sources are not destiny to read?

1. Did I refer to the tabloids? I didn’t say that I read the tabloids. Again, carelessness let down :) 2. "Serious sources" - what are these?

Quote: Gregory_45

I do not praise anything, but write facts

It’s not enough to write facts. It is also necessary to understand why these facts turned out, and why they do not work out in other cases and under different conditions. Without analyzing this, your scribbles lose value.

Taking pride in the fact that the B-2s allegedly acted autonomously, "practically hung over the target in the enemy's air defense zone" in Yugoslavia and did not suffer any losses during the bombing, is this not a hint of the aircraft's invulnerability and its ideal qualities?

B-2 ... operated autonomously, "practically hung over the target in the enemy air defense zone" in Yugoslavia and did not suffer any losses during the bombing

[Volder]

So you state the fact that the V-2 is an invulnerable and perfect aircraft, suitable for bombing any country in the world, or not?
In my opinion, the only fact here is the absence of losses. Other "facts" are drawn with a stretch, since there were "greenhouse" conditions for combat use. But this is not important for you, only facts that are convenient for you are important to you.

greenhouse conditions are in Syria. Or in today's Afghanistan (for the USA). Where there is nothing worse than MANPADS and MZA simply do not. And then the Air Force suffers losses, that Russian, that American.
In Yugoslavia there were fighters and air defense systems. So do not compare.

1. In Syria, the United States does not wage war against the Assad government forces. Therefore, American bombers there will never bring down.
2. About Yugoslavia, I explained above why there were "greenhouse" conditions (the small Yugoslav aviation with obsolete aircraft did NOT dominate the air, and the air defense system was weak and also outdated).
3. According to the performance characteristics of the V-2 worse than our Tu-160. Stealth - not counted, because it does not play any role if Russia has radars capable of detecting stealth. You can continue to praise Western aviation if it warms your soul. That's just pointless ...
