Pentagon: F-35 aircraft in Alaska will allow projecting force on the Arctic region

It became known that the Pentagon abandoned the idea of ​​closing the Aelson air base in Alaska. This is a U.S. Air Force military facility on which F-16 fighters, as well as KC-135 Stratotanker refueling aircraft, have so far been based.

Now, the US military has decided that the base cannot be closed because of the "growing number of threats." The transfer of 5th generation fighters begins at a military facility.

The first two F-35A fighters have already been deployed at Aelson Air Base. They replenished 354 US Air Force wings.

In total, 54 F-35A fighters are planned to be sent to Alaska. This large-scale transfer is scheduled for completion by the end of 2021. Aircraft will be distributed between the two squadrons.

The Pentagon notes that the deployment of F-35 and F-22 aircraft "in sufficient quantity" will allow "projecting force into the Arctic region" using the "successful geostrategic location of Alaska."

Recall that earlier in the US they accused Russia of militarizing the Arctic, adding that Russia thus “poses a threat”.

There will be no American power in the Arctic, but its projection on the screen, in the shadow theater, will scare children.

Yeah.
No, of course you can cover the plane from the tip of the nose to the tips of the keels. And then a specially trained Negro will clean this snowdrift with a special certified panicle for half a day, so as not to damage the stealth coating, but somehow it is doubtful. With the hangar faster, easier, more reliable and more comfortable for everyone.

Who are you explaining to? It is only worth the liberal fraternity to say: "This is amerovskaja trick." Everyone, drooling to the knees. Already how many complaints with the coating have been High humidity, high flight speed, a large number of flight hours and so on.
From the hangar to good frost - the cover will stupidly crack, 1-3 flights maximum.

Project and project! Stripes will never shrink while they are in the form they are now.
The question is, will it be forever?

[novel66]

they say the world will not be the same after the coronovirus ..

[rocket757]

Hello Roman
Change, change, but expect that the minke whales will abandon their gangster ways, empty hopes. Appetites will moderate if, but it is they who have to suffer specific losses a lot where.

[novel66]

still bear .. it turned out that they have a lot more internal problems than they thought

[rocket757]

There is such a thing and can continue further.
But America is a big, great country. She went through various disasters and is not going to disappear.
In our opinion, their leaders were crushed, but this is our very point of view! We must wait and see what the final result will be.
We ourselves would have to go through the current crisis with the least losses .... this is precisely the most important thing for us.

[novel66]

Vitya, that's what I mean! everyone needs to deal with their problems! but did not pretend to be a world policeman

[rocket757]

They already have more mundane goals for a long time, to RIP and Schaub they had nothing for it, only PROFIT!

oh, and which OPG didn't have a cop roof?

You can broader and more detailed - what is the greatness of America? Very interesting........

[rocket757]

I will not "drown" for striping, never! This is the ENEMY!
I just remind you that throwing hats in the direction of the largest economy, military force, political and other opportunities, the world is never worth it!
There, besides branded politicians and resigned townsfolk, there is everything else, which is not enough, and this rest knows how to work, do a lot.
I never engaged in self-deception, to take into account everyone and everyone who is a real, possible, threat to our country.
That's all!

[Zhan]

Recall that earlier in the US they accused Russia of militarizing the Arctic, adding that Russia thus “poses a threat”.

USA Forgot to add: "By strengthening its borders, Russia creates problems for the unpunished presence of the United States in Russian territorial waters" ...

[Navat]

Well, yes, we have a scout, they have a spy. We can transfer our equipment to any region of Russia, friendly and not quite friendly countries, they are not allowed in their own country and in their allies. Our Su-57 is unique and unique in the world, their F-35 is a pregnant penguin and a child prodigy. Patriotism is wonderful, dull dullness and double standards are destructive for our country and our army.

[Crimean partisan 1974]

F-35 - a pregnant penguin and a child prodigy. .... Duc if a penguin is beaten by an old man F-16 at a training exercise of theirs, what is this to be called? but the fact that Alaska is their territory, no one disputes. Let’s strengthen. the only thing that would not suit provocations. and here just lies

[Navat]

You are based on a fake article. In close air combat, the F-35 is approximately equal to 4 generation aircraft. But the very philosophy of F-35 is that for him, close air combat is already a failure. It is designed for medium and long range air battles. And 4-generation aircraft have no chance against the F-35. This was repeatedly demonstrated in the Red Fleg exercises, when the F-35 was shot down like F-15 ducks at long and medium distances, while successfully evading close combat. The problem for the F-35 would arise if the SU-57 had stealth and then in the close air combat the F-35 would have little chance. But for an incomprehensible reason, our designers preferred over-maneuverability, which is no use in modern aerial combat

[Crimean partisan 1974]

It is designed for medium and long range air battles. ..... corn kernels are good at these distances. Well, ideally, wild boars in the form of AWACS in our case, AWACS, what an accident, by chance. all countries bordering the Russian Federation do not possess such a distance. type medium and distant. have to wave short. and then it turns out. the lightning will be killed. as I understand it, if you called tug do not say that not a dozen old men

[Peter is not the first]

How is it that Alaska is not disputed? According to one of the legends, money for Alaska did not go to our treasury because they drowned along with the ship carrying them.
So, it is they "on the Russian territory" their "pregnant penguins" will be relocated.

[Navat]

Well then try ... Polite people, the referendum ... The scheme worked out

[Crimean partisan 1974]

According to one of the legends, money for Alaska did not go to our treasury ...... to exhume the guilty. to clone and to the fiery island forever. as we are not shot and hanged in the FSIN
So, that it is they "on the Russian territory" their "pregnant penguins" will be relocated ..... and God bless them. the main thing is that under your feet, wings, do not get confused. and you need to send specialists to Alaska to catch and bring the former governor Payne. she is pretty to me personally

Quite the contrary: we have their spy, and they have our scout.

[Doccor18]

In the 25th division in Chukotka, too, a squadron of modernized MIG-31 would be added. When gunpowder is dry
and provocations are not terrible.

[Navat]

Just let's be honest with ourselves: MIG-31 is not a rival to fifth-generation aircraft

[Doccor18]

"The MiG-31BM is a deeply modernized version of the MiG-31. Changes were mainly made to the avionics, which were completely replaced with a new one. In addition to the installation of new multifunctional indicators, as well as most of the electronic systems, the MiG-31BM received a new radar" Zaslon-M ", which allows detect a target with a reflective surface of 3 square meters at a distance of up to 320 kilometers and aim missiles at targets at a range of up to 280 kilometers.The MiG-31BM is capable of simultaneously tracking 24 targets and simultaneously targeting all 4 long-range R-33S missiles "
Yes, and the F35 does not reach the 5th generation in everything.

[Navat]

And how does all of the above help the MIG-31? F-35, being undetected, will launch the AIM-120c from a long distance and this will be the end of the air battle. Unfortunately, our designers did not understand (or there is no appropriate technology) that fighters of the 5th generation will fight with fighters of the 4th generation at long and medium distances. Our wise men in the Su-57 sacrificed stealth in favor of over-maneuverability. But if there is no stealth, the plane will not survive to close air combat. This is true both in relation to the MIG-31, and alas, the SU-57. It pains me to write this, but this is true, in aviation we are very much (I hope that it is not hopeless) behind the Americans. And another patriot is not the one who thoughtlessly shouts cheers, but the one who talks about the shortcomings and hopes to improve them. Think about it before you minus me

Today is Saturday. You can’t work. And you strained your fingers and brain. Relax

[Adimius38]

you don’t take into account one thing that the F-35 has many chances to evade a long-range missile, including disrupting the capture thanks to advanced electronics and electronic warfare, in combination with numerous tracking sensors, the F-35 pilot maximally possesses the necessary information throughout its radius of operation . The MiG-31 was not created to fight the F-35, so the fight at medium and short distances will be a pure merge, the only chance is a long-range battle, but the Russian roulette didn’t hit the long-range battle against F-35, but the F-35 CAN quite easily hit the non-maneuverable Mig-31 with its 5G operational overload. For comparison, the fully-armed and full-tanked F-35 is capable of maneuvering at 9G

[Zhan]

Quote: Navat

Just let's be honest with ourselves: MIG-31 is not a rival to fifth-generation aircraft

Please note, but fifth-generation aircraft will not be able to do the job for the MIG-31, as it does. Cars of different classes in terms of performance characteristics and tasks. And they certainly will not be able to escape from the MIG-31.

[Stas-90]

Here's how little that, like a direct comparison of "ours" and "theirs" - so immediately "these are cars of different classes", such as there is nothing to compare them. And in real life, on one side of the strait f-35 with f-22, on the other MiG, and there will be one A2AD zone - either ours or theirs. And if you want, you don't want to, but you will have to compare.

[Amateur]

MIG-31 is not a rival to fifth generation aircraft

You are absolutely right! In the absence of external target designation, it surpasses them by head at interception.

[Navat]

Do you not understand that the detection range of the MIG-31 radar for 5th generation aircraft is not 320 km, as with an EPR target of 3 square meters but 20-30 km? That is, the MIG-31 will be destroyed before it even detects the enemy. Well, you can’t be so amateurish (I'm not talking about nickname)

[Amateur]

will be destroyed before it even detects the enemy.

It is unlikely that pilots 31 are studying the advertising materials of a potential enemy. Therefore, they will simply fulfill their task, especially if their command is correctly used in the form of a group of 4 vehicles.

[Navat]

With believers it is difficult to have a dispute. This is not a matter of knowledge and facts, but a matter of faith. And it is pointless and useless to argue with faith

You are right again! Beliefs in handouts are possible only in the absence of knowledge and facts.

[Amateur]

This expression will amuse

Such a group of 4 cars creates a common information space. Why 4? And because the speed of information exchange allows only 4. Maybe after modernization, they can increase the speed. Then the group will increase. This is not home WiFi. It is a highly secure communication channel with 9999 reliability. And no sacred numbers.

They would break their "projector" so that there is no desire to "project" the power at our side

[novel66]

[A. Privalov]

What kind of base closure are we talking about?

It is expected that by the end of 2021 the number of pilots in Ailson will almost double - from 1750 in 2019 to 3250 people. The wing now has eight qualified F-35 pilots and more than 90 accompanying, which is enough to accept the delivery of the first aircraft.

To accommodate all of these new pilots, the Air Force will invest $ 500 million in dozens of construction projects in Eyelson, including new hangars, an F-35 flight simulator, ammunition depot, and a new school. Of the 41 military construction projects associated with the F-35 layout, 28 are completed.

“Project power into the arctic region”

As I understand it, they plan to "project" onto Russia, but Russia is not a screen or a plane, and the American "image" (projection) can get lost in the remote taiga of the Far East and Siberia. At the Pentagon, what is not a statement is a masterpiece. Only the other day, an American general complained that Russian aircraft began to fly further into the neutral sky over the Pacific Ocean, which worries them (the Americans) very much. And the fact that American planes fly along Russian borders is normal.

[Pvi1206]

Action is equal to counteraction ... Concentration of military force in a certain place will provoke a response ... as a result, tension will increase, not decrease ...
