On the chances of the Russian PAK YES to "catch up and overtake" the American B-21 bomber

148

In the United States, flight tests of the onboard systems of the promising bomber B-21 Raider began. At the same time, the assembly of the first prototype of the new aircraft continues.

The US Air Force is waiting for a new bomber


Northrop Grumman Corporation is developing a new strategic bomber for the US Air Force. Officially, as the first bomber of the 21st century, the promising B-2016 aircraft was designated in 21: the then US Air Force Secretary, Deborah Lee James, described it as a fifth generation global attack platform. The B-2030 aircraft are expected to enter service in 21. But the American military department, apparently, plans to accelerate somewhat with the development and release of the bomber. In particular, it is planned to assemble the first sample of the B-2021 at the end of 2022, and to make the first flight of the new aircraft already in XNUMX.



According to the US Air Force, the assembly of the first prototype of the new bomber is being carried out at an aircraft factory in California. There, at the airfield of the 42nd aircraft plant of the US Air Force in Palmdale, the first flight is to be made. The plane will have to fly from the plant to aviation Edwards Air Force Base, also in California, 35 kilometers from the aircraft factory.

The advantages of the new aerial vehicle include the ability to use large-scale weapons long-range, which will improve its shock capabilities. However, for example, the Chinese edition Sohu calls the B-21 rather an improved version of the "good old" B-2 than a completely new bomber. For example, the aerodynamic shape of the B-21 is practically the same as that of the B-2, and the stealth technologies in general are not very different from those used in the production of the B-2 or F-22. As for the engine, the B-21 will use the Pratt & Whitney F119 or General Electric F136 engine.


The use of existing technologies will significantly reduce the production and commissioning costs of a new bomber. For example, Northrop Grumman has repeatedly stated that the cost of the B-21 will be about $ 500 million, which is only a quarter of the cost of the current B-2 bomber. In addition, the Air Force's expenses for maintenance and flights of the new bomber will be significantly lower. The cost reduction, in turn, will allow the US Air Force to deploy a large number of new aircraft.

PAK DA as a competitor to B-21


Russia, meanwhile, is also working on the creation of the PAK DA stealth bomber (Advanced Long-Range Aviation Complex). Work on the PAK DA began even earlier than the development of the B-21 in the United States. Eight years ago, in August 2012, information was announced about the completion of the preliminary design of the bomber and the beginning of development work. The first prototype, according to the Ministry of Defense, should be presented by the end of 2020.

Thus, Moscow is trying to catch up with the United States in terms of creating the latest bomber. The latter, for obvious reasons, do not like it very much: after an article appeared in Fox News that the Russians were preparing their own new generation bomber, a flurry of comments from American readers began pouring in, accusing Russia of stealing technology. However, unlike the V-21 PAK DA, according to the assurances of the designers, it is not an improvement of the previous machines, but is a completely new project.

The PAK DA can perform its first flight in 2025-2026. Considering that the B-21 is planned to be lifted into the air in 2022, while the Americans are still ahead of our country. And the reason for this is not the worst preparedness of domestic designers, but the perennial financial problem: as you know, the military budgets of the United States and Russia are incomparable. Nevertheless, it is possible that work on the creation of an American bomber will be delayed, and this will allow Russia to slightly reduce the gap from a potential enemy.

In any case, both the B-21 and the PAK DA will go into operation in the serial version at about the same time - around 2030. The question is which of the aircraft will turn out to be more effective in terms of the hopes placed on it, but this can be judged after the implementation of both projects into reality. Also, do not forget about another potential competitor for both the B-21 and the PAK DA - the Chinese project for the newest N-20 bomber, which has been under development since the early 2000s. And in the situation when the question of who will catch up and overtake whom - in relation to the PAK DA and B-21 - it may well happen that the Chinese will launch their aircraft into series faster. Although in the Chinese case, a separate issue, as usual, is the quality of technology.

    Because there is nothing to further develop and improve .... there were no such machines in the USSR. And in the United States, this is the second generation after the B-2. One thing I cannot understand, why B-2 is super expensive, and B-21 should be massive and cheap?

      and the B-21 should be massive and cheap?

      Because it doesn't have to be cheap. Here it is massive - maybe. This is the United States, when something was cheap there? On the contrary. the manufacturer deliberately increases the cost - it is necessary to cut. Yes, and with "it should work out" - I was asking people, what has taken off from the Pentagon projects over the past 30 years? Named 1 submarine - everything. The rest is marriage and sawing.

        They originally voiced B-21 as a more economical option and more versatile in application ..... as for projects .. there is such a rule 6 out of 100% fires 20% of projects. (+ or - some percentage), because of the size of their budget, they work. In the Russian Federation, it is also not about samples and projects that are "unique" and "breakthrough" and also "shoots" about the same% of programs. And there is also a marriage and a cut. But on the scale of the RF Ministry of Defense budget,

          There is a cut, there is a kanesh, but "marriage" is in your opinion, but in my opinion these are design developments, of varying degrees of readiness, prototypes, single copies, etc.
          It is this "marriage" that allows the Russian design school not to perish, to create and invent, sometimes to create fundamentally new industries and directions.
          And yes, often armchair people, far from development, implementation and pilot production, looking at the figures of costs and the cost of prototypes, varying degrees of readiness, even timeliness and success, begin to scream heart-rendingly "RASPIIIL" without understanding the essence.
          They are poisoning production workers with a bunch of inspection commissions, bodies, etc.
          As for me, there will be much greater savings and benefit to the cause if 80% of these "commissioners, inspectors and" bodies "are dispersed to the devil's grandmother, along with their bureaucratic apparatus, or sent to combat service in the army.
          How many interesting projects have been frozen, abandoned, ruined by blunt attacks ???
          Why not count how much these controlling, verifying, permitting and restraining bodies are worth? Moreover, they are all used to living well.
          I am sure that the numbers will be comparable, and maybe even more, than many project estimates.
          This is the crux of the problem

              This is how you look, whether it ends or begins.
              I repeat, for the dull ones, when creating prototypes, 10 and 15 failures ultimately give rise to one or two successful models going into series.
              And it is IMPOSSIBLE to immediately create a "successful" or hassle-free finished product for the series.
              This is the point.
              I no longer delve into the introduction, small-scale and production of special samples, in principle, not intended for mass production, the numbers there, for non-specialists, are generally sky-high.
              And if there is no groundwork in a certain direction, then in general "space".

          Work on the V-2 was carried out in the distant 80s, many technologies, software were developed from scratch. Moreover, they were conducted in the USA. Yes, and they released them only, nothing, that's in unit terms and prices jumped out ... unimaginably cosmic. And after the collapse of the USSR, the United States had no opponents left, the series was stopped.
          Now, on the contrary, work is being carried out along the beaten path - all technologies (stealth, software, engines, flying wing scheme) are there and have been tested for a long time. And there will be only two engines.
          So they will save quite a lot on OCD.
          But it will never be cheap - this is America!
          But what will happen with us, the question is serious - at the Kazan AZ, the center section for the Tu-160 will not learn to cook ... there is no engine, and our flying wing did not fly. All over again or all over again.

              No. It's just that F-35 deliveries usually indicate the price WITHOUT ENGINE. F-35 is more expensive. And even that is not the point, the status is "limited combat capability." State acceptance was last filled up last fall. More expensive than Raphael and not a combat aircraft. Layout. This is what I call - ras-saw

      It is possible to draw an analogy with submarines - the super-cool and expensive nuclear submarine Seawulf ($ 4,3 billion) and the Virginia nuclear submarine ($ 1,8-2,7 billion) that came to her for size. At the same time, Virginia is not much worse, at least not twice.

      The B-21 will have engines that are being built in large series. It is possible that they are borrowing something else from the F-35. The B-21 is smaller.

      B-2 costs 2,1 billion, B-21 will, for example, 0,8-1,2 billion.

        Well, if only because the Hunter is more expensive than the Su-57. At least in the RF Aerospace Forces.
        In general, the Raider is manned. The same class, but with proven airframe technologies, ready-made avionics and production engines. Therefore, the price tag of 500 million is quite real.
        PS: Once upon a time, the F-16 cost 25 million, when its series was close to 3000 units

              I just see other numbers (roughly the opposite). The non-serial prototype of the S-70 is estimated at about 1,3 billion and the serial Su-57 is estimated at about 2,2 billion (based on the announced contract value of 170 billion for 76 aircraft). And this is logical, due to the fact that the S-70 currently uses many ready-made assemblies, including those from the Su-57 +, the costs are always sharply reduced when there is no need to install life support systems. There is no costly training for pilots, and so on.

                But there are operators and the Control Center, there are satellites, there are repeater planes. There are more advanced avionics and reconnaissance systems (for a strategic scout), there is minimal AI that will bring the UAV back, or allow it to complete the task.
                PS: And talking about the cost of the SU-57 is not interesting. He's gone. No radar, no engine. It is not clear what he will go to the Air Force with. Maybe it will be modernized every six months. More often than the F-35. Or maybe it won't fly at all like that.

      Well, it's obvious.
      The use of existing technologies will significantly reduce the costs of manufacturing and commissioning a new bomber.

      R&D costs money, and not small, though it is then "smeared" over the series.

      there are several reasons and most of them lie on the surface. 25% of the cost of a new aircraft is R&D. The new car no longer has that many revolutionary developments and new technologies. Everything has already been worked out. Therefore, the costs are reduced. Also, the price has been reduced due to the fact that production has already been debugged.

      The B-2 cost about 2 lard American raccoons and they were built in a small series of 20 units. If the B21 is half the price, the mattresses will be produced in a series of cars in 30-40. Plus B-2 in the form of at least 10-15 combat-ready and that, not frail such a fleet of strategists turns out. In comparison with us, who still have 16 Tu-160s, this is just an armada.
      A priori, strategic bombers cannot be massive. And they are not required as fighters of a thousand. The USSR planned to create a series of TU-160 (if my sclerosis does not change me) in the amount of 30 units. These platforms, even in the economy version, are very expensive to churn out in hundreds and thousands.

                  But the Ryders, according to the plan of the Americans, should pass the air defense unnoticed.
                  And drop bombs on difficult targets.

                  he should not break through air defense. it is assumed (and this is known 20 years ago) that by the time the air defense strategists approach, it will either be completely knocked out or will acquire a focal character. Air defense aviation will also be in full control and, in fact, there will be simply nothing to threaten the strategists with. This is what the Americans are planning.

                    It is enough to make corridors for the passage of bombers, damaging part

                    by decoy targets. The missile defense is static and the bombers are dynamic.
                    And interceptors can be linked with fighters in battles, distracting attention from
                    stealth bombers.
                    All this is not easy to implement, of course, but the methods are being worked out

                Modern air defense systems completely exclude the strategist's breakthrough - there, no stealth will help in principle

                Voyaka is partially right here. A concrete-piercing bomb is 5-10 tons, which must be dropped exactly on the target. It is unrealistic to cram such a thing instead of a warhead KR, which is an order of magnitude smaller. Therefore, it is the Raiders who will have to bomb the underground factories of Iran or the DPRK. Long-range air defense will be suppressed with Axes, and Stealth will save from BUKs.
                PS: Well, CDs with a range of 2000-5000 km fly for hours, they are only for stationary purposes. And they mainly carry themselves. Warhead 500 kg. They cost $ 1-4 million, and are knocked out by Thor or Buk. Spotted from afar. For one target you need a dozen, or, as the Russian Aerospace Forces shoot X-101 at tents in Syria. Where from the radar only beards with binoculars.

                    how the DPRK air defense will be suppressed - even with the B-52

                    You can't suppress everything. Long-range air defense, Yes. All the locations of the S-300/400 are known. At least suppress the stationary radar with Harmami. But the average AA defense will partially survive. The beech can easily shoot down the B-52, even the C-75 did it. but with Raider it will be more difficult. Will not deceive 9M317 EW Raider.
                    And constantly modernizing the half-century B-52 is a waste. And the Air Force is there. So I think Raider has a right to live. Increases the chance to hit a difficult target while retaining the pilot.

                        Nobody irradiated the aircraft with the radar. Not all planes can detect the launch of the rocket / its approach to the aircraft. Capturing the target of a TGSN before launch is practiced by almost all missiles with a TGSN, except for the most recent ones. When the RVV is launched from a range of 5-10 km, the rocket has more than enough energy to hit the target in the entire range of altitudes and to parry its maneuver. So I personally believe that air defense systems that can be easily transported on a pair of large minibuses will still have their say in the confrontation with aviation.

                        Otherwise, Jews would not have flown to Syria.

                        There is no de facto air defense system in Syria. It has a purely focal character and even in the zone of high altitudes, 10 percent of the territory is viewed. So for the Israeli Air Force, subject to a thorough study of the routes, there are no problems with organizing strikes by the KR and KAB at all ...

                        Do not equate the Araps with Jews and Yankees.

          This is the tactics of the last century. It is not at all necessary to drag the carrier directly to the target, in the midst of air defense systems.

    A stealth bomber is needed if you throw ordinary bombs, and if a platform for missiles, then a reasonable decrease in visibility.

    The use of existing technologies will significantly reduce the costs of manufacturing and commissioning a new bomber. For example, Northrop Grumman has repeatedly stated that the cost of the B-21 will be about $ 500 million, which is only a quarter of the cost of the current B-2 bomber.

    To promise does not mean to marry! request
    So the price will creep "to the right" very, very much. Yes lol

    Work on the PAK DA began even earlier than the development of the B-21 in the United States.

    Incorrect statement. Since the B-21 is a further development of the B-2, work on it began in the late 70s.

    Thus, Moscow is trying to catch up with the United States in terms of creating the latest bomber.

    Which is quite logical.

    No need to "catch up and overtake" anyone! fool Already passed! hi You just need to make a modern, reliable strike UAV! And make them bigger! good

    What's the point in such machines now? It is useless to break through the air defense. You can hang 8 cruise missiles on any liner.

    Can. But it is forbidden. But even if this prohibition is violated, how many of these liners do we have and how many do the USA have ??? Who will be worse from this ??

    There are also concrete-piercing missiles, such as the Russian S-13T aircraft missile.

    and at what depth and what object can such a missile hit? Efficiency - penetrates 6 m of soil or 1 m of reinforced concrete covered with 2-3 m of soil. It is unlikely that Iran's underground rocket plant will be located at a depth of 3 meters and a 1-meter ceiling of reinforced concrete

    Something slipped before my eyes that the flying wing scheme for the SB was not optimal, it was sharpened for stealth, and everything else was simply stretched for this task. But the technology is also not worth it, even a cigarette case in a pilot's pocket can give out an extra EPR. Where, then, should this PAK-DA, together with its stealth, be put? Next to the "Caspian monster"?

    The trend is clearly seen in the three wisdoms: do not run ahead of the locomotive; Russians harness for a long time, but drive fast; a monkey by the river waiting for the passing corpse of the enemy. Ours are looking for funds for a very long time. Then, they make the product with concentration, bringing it to perfection in every possible way. It turns out for a long time, but efficiently, for many decades. Americans briskly PR, roll in, mastering billions, yelling about readiness, blurt out in hundreds, and then drearily try to bring, hold on to mastering the budget for modernization and forcing partners to buy their underdeveloped. Well, or even sent to the scrap ... The Chinese have their own way: they sit on the shore and wait for something to float past in order to catch it and copy it. As they say, to each his own. And competition is the engine of progress!

    You are wrong, not competition, but laziness is the engine of progress !!!
    ps Laziness is the engine of all mankind to develop

    Ha.
    Again provocation and a soap bubble out of the blue.

    To catch up and overtake on what?
    Speed? Stealth? Quantity? efficiency? Development speed?

    Judging by the article, amers need a hard worker. Inexpensive (so far) and modern.
    And what the RF needs, FIG knows. A hard worker? PR? Download constructors? Peremoga? Small series of super-planes?

    The Americans have a lot of experience in such bomb carriers, but we went the other way - speed. There is no need for a "flying wing" and "stealth". So there are not many chances to catch up, let alone overtake.
