F-15I fighters can replace F-35 in Israeli purchases

121

The Israeli leadership has revised its approaches to the IDF rearmament program. “Under the knife” already fell part of the military equipment that was planned to be purchased from the United States. The threat of defense sequestration looms over the most advanced US product - the F-35 fighter.

As the The Jerusalem Post, first of all, the military refused to purchase a squadron (12 - 14 units) of Boeing V-22 Osprey convertiplanes, although they indicate that there is a need for them. It is also currently being decided whether to replace heavy Boeing Chinook helicopters with Lockheed Martin CH-53K in its “procurement statement”. Finally, the most painful blow dealt to the American defense industry may consist in refusing to purchase a third F-35 squadron. It is possible that they will be "crowded out" by F-15I fighters.

The Air Force must also decide whether to purchase the third F-35 fighter squadron or the latest Boeing F-15I fighters

- writes The Jerusalem Post.

These perturbations look somewhat curious, given that the acquisition of this equipment is largely carried out using funds from a fund totaling $ 38 billion allocated by Washington in the form of military assistance to Tel Aviv for the next decade. It was from here that the purchase of two F-35 Adir squadrons was funded.

The Israeli leadership explains its decisions by cutting defense spending and the need to redistribute funds in the military budget to meet more urgent needs. For example, the IDF claims to be focused on the development of technologies designed to combat the cross-border tunnels that Hamas creates.

      The threat of defense sequestration looms over the most advanced US product - the F-35 fighter.
      And why is it all of a sudden? After all, for several years, visitors from Israel have been broadcasting about the best and not being shot down aircraft. And then suddenly the army decided on its own. Will the main "partner" and sponsor understand such a redistribution of funds?

                  For a normal supply and maintenance system, this is not a problem, but if specialists cannot distinguish one part from another on the equipment being serviced, then yes, there is simply no way without automatic logistics! There are service regulations and terms and resource of parts and devices. They don’t even sell sophisticated equipment without spare parts !, not like they don’t!

          There is nothing new in the article. The Air Force has long been hesitant about what composition the next squadron should be. In favor of the latest F-15 modification, flight range and payload mass. And this squadron will be useful after the F-35 destroy enemy air defense. In any case, even if a decision is made to purchase the F-15 squadron, then the procurement of the F-35 will continue. So the dull song “F-35 wunderwaffle, flying penguin and cut the dough” will be very inappropriate. By the way, if someone does not know, the F-15 of the latest version is more expensive than the F-35

Well, if there is a layered air defense, where there will be complexes of the far arm and medium and small, and covering each other, then the F-35 will become very easy prey.

There were losses on our part, and the composition of the Soviet anti-aircraft gunners was greatly reduced.

                You, as Poles, all remember the turnover
                AND IF THE TRUTH IS:
                1982, one of the most impressive operations of the Air Force against air defense was carried out - Medvedka 19. Within 2 hours on June 9, 14 of the 19 batteries of an air defense system in the Bek Valley, the so-called. Fed anti-aircraft missile group, created in the framework of a bilateral agreement between the USSR and the SAR on military cooperation in 1980.
                It destroyed 25 batteries of air defense systems and 80 Syrian aircraft trying to cover ground forces. The Syrian air defense system in Lebanon was almost completely destroyed.
                There were hundreds of Soviet military advisers in the Syrian air defense group, of course, also Soviet technology. In general, the armed forces of Israel were at a higher level, both technically and conceptually.
                Why, Soviet experts, did not help the Syrians achieve a reaction equal to that which the Israelis reached? All receivers of the Syrian complexes were suppressed by very high density interference in the entire frequency range. And in order to fight them, it was necessary to weaken their power at least 20-30 times.
                Unfortunately, the Syrians did not have such opportunities, nor did we. At that time, the means of electronic reconnaissance and jamming of the SAR Armed Forces could not provide either a violation of the control of enemy troops and weapons, or even minimal protection of their aircraft, anti-aircraft missile systems and their other forces and air defense assets only for one reason - a limited frequency range of suppression.
                Bulletin of air defense. 1991, No. 4.
                At that time, we still did not shout.

                  Why don’t you all remember, dear Jew? Or refresh your memory? Firstly, the BEKA valley is located behind the ridge, and Soviet advisers strongly advised the Syrians not to get into a fight, since the MG-21s were already obsolete and needed central control from the ground, which was problematic. In addition, the new mattresses were installed for you. 15A and F-16A, plus your KFIRS-2 ... They beat the Syrians ... yeah ...
                  In this case, you hawkai hung in the air.
                  And now I refresh your selective memory ...
                  In 1981, the USSR supplied Syria with thirty more advanced and powerful MiG-23 fighters and ground-based air defense systems. In April of this year, Syria introduced to Lebanon an anti-aircraft missile brigade and a regiment, two radio engineering battalions, two electronic warfare battalions and means of their cover. In an attempt to “make a mistake” again and drop bombs on the positions of the Syrian troops, the Israeli Air Force did not count three bombers.

                  And then, in the 83rd year, what happened?
                  In January 1983, transports with Soviet combat line units arrived in the Syrian port of Tartus. Among them are two anti-aircraft missile regiments of air defense equipped with S-200 long-range air defense systems. One of them is located near the city of Homs, covering the northwest of Syria from air strikes. The second is located 30 kilometers south of Damascus. The unfolding battle order of the Soviet 220th ZRP covered the capital's oasis. By order of the President of Syria, the regiment launched one rocket and shot down over the Mediterranean Sea, at a distance of 196 km, the Israeli Hawkai air command post.

                  That is, when the S-200 was transferred, you Jews did something about it then ... by the way, you couldn’t call the Syrian air defense in the 70s from the word at all. At the same time, you had a numerical and qualitative advantage in fighters ...
                  And now the outcome of that war? The Syrians washed you and your American masters, as you and the United States drifted to hit specifically at Soviet targets in Syria.
                  He remembered Bekuu ... how many of your tanks were burned there? Can you recall the bassoons?

            When Israel has 50 F-35s, it can be considered that there is a basis for new air forces.
            Therefore, AFTER THIS, I am for 25 F-15 to write off junk. And then continue to update the single-engine fleet, replace the F-16 with the F-35. Instead of 200 F-16 there will be 100 F-35, which is equivalent.

          Strange, the F-15 is a 4th generation fighter. You yourself said that this (4th generation) is an aging weapon and the one who is more likely to switch to the 5th will get an advantage. And then suddenly: "modern" F-15 ... We must take ... Wonderful.

              And I tell you about the generation of fighters. It is not difficult to find F-35 odes on this resource and there is just the main argument: the 5th generation is better than the 4th.
              The F-35 is light, but the F-15 is heavy and are they in different niches? Then the question arises - can this 5th generation fight without the 4th? If the article is correct, then in Israel they answered - no, it can’t.

      These perturbations look somewhat curious, given that the acquisition of this equipment is largely carried out using funds from a fund totaling $ 38 billion allocated by Washington in the form of military assistance to Tel Aviv for the next decade. It was from here that the purchase of two F-35 Adir squadrons was funded.

          In the original, everything is completely different.
          In original:

          As part of the new procurements funded in large part by the Memorandum of Understanding signed between Jerusalem and Washington, which would see Israel receive $ 38 billion in military assistance over the next decade, Israel has purchased two squadrons of F-35 Adir stealth fighters and is currently deciding between Boeing's Chinook or Lockheed Martin's CH-53K heavy-lift helicopters.

          Strange, but nothing about the fact that Israel calls into question the purchase of Lightnings.

          The IAF is also set to decide between purchasing a third squadron of F-35 jets or Boeing's latest F-15I.

          Oh, what is this? Is it really about the fact that the IAF must decide on the purchase of the 3rd Lightning squadron or the latest F-15I?

          As part of the IDF's new multiyear plan, it will be closing one squadron of fighter jets in the coming year. It also aims to open another advanced IAF squadron of F-15 or F-35 fighter jets.

          One squadron is closed, and the other is opened.

          Those. There’s nothing about replacing Lightnings with Strike Needles. Just Jpost's suggestion that Israel will have to make a choice, either to take the 3rd Lightning squadron, or to create the latest Strike Needles.

              Previously, they planned to purchase 75 F-35s, and then 25 F-15s. Now they decided to insert a batch of F-15 after receiving 50 F-35.

                In terms of expression, the photon beam, I note that the photon dominated by the wave properties, the electrons - corpuscular. The higher the energy, the higher the wave properties. Beta and apf radiation do not possess practically wave properties and their penetrating (and reaching) ability is small. Accordingly, I do not quite understand how you relate this to the radar? Gas mask rubber normally protects against alpha radiation or the air layer is not too wide ... But from gamma - only a fair layer of lead or steel ... In terms of radiation therapy, it is not nuclear physicists who work there.

      W. Shakespeare.
      Today, Israel is changing its defense strategy because the main enemies in the past are no longer those enemies.
      Relations with Egypt are the best in history. He asks the Israeli Air Force to bomb ISIS in the Sinai.
      Syria is no longer a rival. But a new rival, Iran, is entering the arena.
      Therefore, there was a need to amend the military doctrine and weapons.
      I will not touch everything.
      Israel ordered two F-35 squadrons. These planes today and tomorrow will satisfy the needs of the Israeli Air Force (I will not write about the details), I will focus on one very important one. By the end of 2020, an F-35 radar will be installed to detect low-flying targets (cruise missiles and drones).
      But there is a need to increase flight range and ammunition. And replace the F-15s that have been in service since 1998.
      F-15IA can carry up to 13 tons of weapons - an ability that has no analogues in any other attack aircraft. 11 missiles, as well as 28 heavy smart bombs for ground targets.
      In addition, the aircraft is capable of carrying all weapons, including unique Israeli-made missiles, laser and electro-optical systems, and much more.
      F-35 better overcomes advanced air defense systems, and F-15IA can carry heavier bomb loads, but refuses invisibility for this. F-35 has a uniquely advanced electronics, which allows you to scout and determine targets and transmit for other aircraft including the F-15IA, as well as easier to modify the F-15IA with Israeli equipment.
      THIS IS VERY SHORT, BUT BUT THE TRUTH!

      F-35 and F-15 of the latest modifications, a perfectly working tandem. First, some break through the air defense of the target and disable it, then others with heavier weapons destroy the target itself. This allows to reduce the shortcomings and strengthen the advantages of both machines. Apparently, Israel believes that it needs both. And the procurement procedure, I think, should be left to the IDF General Staff. He will better than us determine the order of these purchases.

        On the F-35, no one bothers to put underwing pylons, and in terms of shock capabilities it will be almost comparable to the "Needle"

          Yes, he has underwing pylons. Only the combat load will not allow to equalize.

            actually wrote about that. In everyday use, they are removed, but if the enemy does not have air defense, then there is no point in hiding, and the load can be increased by installing underwing pylons

            Why? Lightning carries almost the entire range of modern weapons (AIM-9 Sidewinder, AIM-132 ASRAAM, AIM-120 AMRAAM air-to-air missiles; Storm Shadow and AGM-158 JASSM cruise missiles, NSM anti-ship missiles, JDAM adjustable bombs weighing up to 910 kg, bomb cassettes CBU-103, CBU-104 and CBU-105 WCMD, planning bombs AGM-154 Joint Standoff Weapon, nuclear bombs B61).



            The Eagle, although it has a nominally higher carrying capacity, can hardly realize it (there are not enough suspension points)

          Yesterday, everything was decided on procurement. Israel also ordered a squadron (25) of F-35 aircraft and a Squadron of F15I ex-25 aircraft. It seems to me that any discussion of which is better makes no sense on this. Both are needed. Https: //nashe.orbita.co.il/blogs/worldnews/84099

      "The newspaper wrote," the journalists "decided ..." An officer has already been sent to the third squadron of F-35I Adir. request for delivery terms, which is a prerequisite for starting the procurement process. (75 units (3 esk.) Authorized for funding by the US Congress, will be purchased necessarily, the fourth, as the F-16 is replaced) The General Staff determined the other day, in the immediate tasks for 20-24 years. decisions to purchase two new squadrons, or both F-35I Adir, or both. Much, in order of priority and priority, also depends on the possibility of installing conformal tanks on the F-35I, (I think they will be tested on the exp. Machine arriving this year), which eliminates the smaller range compared to the F-15IX in "beast mode". The Osprey V-22 is optimized for operations from aircraft carriers on the roads and is not needed in this form. (IAI is involved in the production and testing of another, V-280 Valor, possibly more suitable ...)

      Finally, the most painful blow dealt to the American defense industry may consist in refusing to purchase a third F-35 squadron. It is possible that they will be “crowded out” by F-15I fighters.

      Well, firstly, nothing is known for sure, some assumptions, moreover, without any substantiation.
      Why does Israel need "Eagles"?
      In addition, they purchase weapons in the United States at the expense of the Americans (American military assistance).
      Thirdly, "Eagle" in its modern version costs almost as much as "Lightning".
      Logic of what ???

      Well, to begin with, the Russian Troops are there at the request of the LEGITIVE ELECTED President of the country Bashar Al-Assad. And they asked for help not just from nefig to do, but because illegal armed groups, fed by overseas "comrades" and the most fascist state in the Middle East - Israel unleashed a real massacre in order to destabilize the situation in the Middle East and control the production and routes of transportation of oil and gas energy carriers.
      And do not again blame the Russian media. Here everything is clear to the blind man. Especially in relation to the state of Israel, which is originally an enemy of Syria, Iran, Iraq and Egypt, wants to destabilize in these countries, so as not to shake.
      But there is a good saying: no matter how much the rope does not twist, the end will still be. How will the end to the very main terrorist state of the Middle East - Israel.

      Remember what Borisov talked about the Su-57 - a 5th generation fighter (he showed himself perfectly in Syria, shows excellent results ... but "a visor" for the future, but for now the priority of the 4th generation)? It looks like Israel has its own Borisov in relation to F -35 ...

      Well, where are our eternal skeptics-liberals who cheat the domestic military-industrial complex? Here you go, let them see what color the exhaust of the vaunted "newest" F-15Is ... Here's an orange color for them, here's a torch for them ... Or they don't know anything about it? Let them compare it with the blue-white color of the afterburning in the chambers of our engines.
