Western Observer: Arming Japanese Air Force F-35s with Long-Range Missiles Will Make Russia and China Jittery

99

In the Japanese media, citing sources in the military department, materials appeared that the country's air force command plans to arm the F-35 fighters in service. aviation long-range missiles.

It is reported that by 2022, the number of standard weapons of the F-35 will include missiles that will allow attacking targets at long distances - up to 500 km. What kind of missiles are in question is not reported.



At the same time, Western sources say that Japan plans to purchase a batch of JSM missiles, which are being developed by the Norwegian company Kongsberg and the American Raytheon. Missiles of this type are distinguished by the fact that they are capable of aiming at a target through several channels and hitting targets not only on the ground, but also at sea.

Forbes published the material of the Western columnist Michael Peck, who writes that the F-35 of the Japanese Air Force with new weapons "will make Russia and China nervous."

At the same time, it is noted that the new missiles can reduce the stealth performance of the fifth generation fighter. It is assumed that external mounts will be used to arm the F-35 with long-range missiles, since these ammunition will not be able to fit into the internal compartments of today's parameters.

Previously, Japan lost its 5th generation F-35 fighter. He fell into the sea during a scheduled flight. So far, the official Tokyo has not provided data on the true reasons for the fall. Experts assumed that the disaster was connected with problems with the onboard oxygen system of the combat aircraft.

                    Let's start with the fact that Iskander is Oka's son, and Oka's western partners persuaded Humpback to destroy and ... correctly (according to the logic of the INF Treaty). For with a half-ton land mine (or rather, even 700 kg), the firing range was 400 km, but if you put a special warhead, and it is from several tens of kg (50 kg weighs a 152mm nuclear artillery projectile), we will not get impudent, we will define 100 kg, then by According to the laws of ballistics, a smaller throw weight will fly away further ... exactly in a small (500-1000 km), or even medium range (from 1000 km). Therefore, we know and they know that Iskander with a special warhead is flying far away. And by the way, why Tokyo? There are so many big and beautiful cities in Japan.

                  Specifically for which Iskander? There are three varieties of them. The third is the export version - Iskander-E. But Iskander K and Iskander M do not walk alone from each other. And now the most interesting thing ... In the arsenal of Iskander-K there is a CD, which was created after working very hard on the CD Grenade, which, back in Soviet times, had a range of more than 2000 km.

                  So the radius of action of this CD is not less than 2000 km, but for me this figure is 800 kilometers more. And from the Kuril Islands to Tokyo, 1583 km. So Iskander-K can easily reach Tokyo from anywhere in the Kuril Islands. hi

          Not necessary. Taking into account the range of the cruise missile in the Iskander-K arsenal, it would be wise to deploy these complexes to the Kuriles, but to place Iskander on the mainland, somewhere closer to the Kuriles.
          By the way, this is what is said about the Iskander-K modification.
          Russia - 140 Iskander-M units in the Land Forces, 12 Iskander-M units in the Naval Forces and an unknown number of Iskander-K units, as of 2020

        Well, why not. This really raises the question of terminating the threat. Our promising KS-172 has a range of 400 km, and the R-37, which is in service, flies for 300 km. Those. today the enemy has no chance in an air duel. Even if we take into account the stealth invisibility of the f-35, but they are guided by Sentry or Hokai, their radar range does not exceed 400 km, and the KS-172 works at the Irbis's range, i.e. shining like a Christmas tree, but at high altitude Avaxik is a priori victim of the Su-35 or MiG-31. Naturally, without external target designation, the f-35 turns on its radar, and according to the formula, since it is invisible, then I myself do not see anything, Stealth will shine with its active radar in the radio range. It was this simulation that led to the need to have a long-range air-to-air missile. 500 km, of course, is again nonsense, if the radar at such a range does not stupidly see. If the KS-172 was made to the maximum range of the Irbis PFAR, but the AFAR F-35 sees at a shorter distance. What makes PFAR different is its detection range. The range of 400 and the range of the rocket is 400, everything is logical, but here ... The enemy also has a problem with our tactical ZGRLS Sunflower, which again see a surface wave in the region of 450-500 km and stealth to it, to put it mildly ... Another wavelength. Again, for this, the S-400/500 over-the-horizon missiles. The sunflower sees beyond the horizon, and the S-400 sends a rocket there ... In short, they drove themselves into a corner with their stealth, missed the initiative in flight performance characteristics and ranges (they say, the invisible will fly up close), now they give birth in agony, they are already ready to hang on pylons Stealth ...

          here we mean an air-to-surface cruise missile, such as the AGM-158B JASSM-ER, which flies 1000 km in stock, but the export version will have half this range.

            You are looking not there. We must look at the spiritual energy (riatsu), and it is the greatest in the Japanese. And if your spiritual energy is less than the one you are attacking, then your attack will not give anything, you simply will not even scratch the attacked one.
            That is why, by the way, it is hard for foreigners with the Japanese, they constantly feel the density of spiritual energy on themselves. And look, all the Captains and most of the first and second officers in the Gotei 13 are Japanese. The same irreplaceable leader is Yamamoto Genryusai, Japanese.

Too small a territory does not allow us to talk about anything other than a single strike, and no even a very massive strike by non-nuclear weapons of Japan can compare in fatality with a massive nuclear strike on Japan itself.

        The Japanese, if they wish, will become a nuclear power in 3-4 months. They have produced all the components of a nuclear bomb. In quantities, not one copy.
        The nuclear filling has also been accumulated. Everything is disassembled.
        What they don't have is an ICBM. But there are carrier planes.

      - This Pavarotti - no voice, no hearing, lisping, and even stuttering!
      - Have you been to his concert?
      - No, Haim sang a little over the phone for me.


      We read in the article on VO:
      At the same time, it is noted that the new missiles can reduce the stealth performance of the fifth generation fighter. It is assumed that external mounts will be used to arm the F-35 with long-range missiles, since these ammunition will not be able to fit into the internal compartments of today's parameters.


      Not too lazy to look at Forbes. I really wanted to know what Michael Peck actually said about stealth and problems with missiles that did not fit.
      It turned out that everything is correct:
      But there is a problem with the F-35 and missiles. While it can carry a variety of weapons under its belly and wings, it compromises the aircraft's stealth, which is based on elaborate surfaces to minimize radar detection.

      However, he immediately adds:
      This is why the F-35 has an internal bomb bay - a feature commonly found on bombers rather than fighters - allowing it to carry a limited amount of ammunition while remaining stealthy. LRASM and JASSM are too large to fit in the F-35 bomb bay. However, "The Joint Strike Missile is the only fifth-generation cruise missile designed to be launched from the F-35A's internal weapons bay."


      As you know, Raytheon Missiles & Defense and the Norwegian defense company Kongsberg Defense Aerospace have developed the Joint Strike Missile for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter. With a length of 4 meters and a diameter of 0,52 meters (in the stowed state - with folded wings), it fits quite well in the same bomb compartment.

      For the sake of fairness, it should be noted that to this day, the range in performance characteristics for this missile was indicated within 250 km. However, in the performance characteristics of the Naval Strike Missile, on the basis of which the Joint Strike Missile was created, a range of 555 km is indicated. Apparently, by 2022, the Joint Strike Fighter will reach the same flight range.

                    Japan the United States will howl

                    The reasons for this conclusion?
                    In the event of a threat of a nuclear strike against Japan, what if nuclear weapons accidentally end up in the latter? Let's say your friends will tell you .. Here's the move.
                    In a nuclear conflict between the United States and China, the latter is constrained in the means of delivery and the number of warheads. It's hard to imagine, but the response to the strikes on some (where it will reach) American cities may be the destruction of all Chinese. And several hundred million of the population. Density of residence ..
                    Realizing this, China will refrain from using nuclear weapons first. And the conflict will be conventional.
                    Let me remind you that it is from the American market that China has most of the profit.
                    Again, let me remind you: Japan and the United States are bound by specific treaties. And the "pigeons" will not be able to persuade the country to sit on the sidelines. And there are "hawks" even now, who will be given carte blanche.

                      A fool who does not understand anything either in nuclear weapons or in geopolitics. Firstly, Americans love life very much and are ready to fight to the last soldier of their allies. Fear of shock for the United States is the most important indicator. The threat of destruction for any US politician is the main nightmare.
                      A strike on China may entail a strike on the United States from Russia (missiles then fly towards Russia, who will understand a lot in a limited time, plus there is the possibility of stupidly missing or touching Russian territory).
                      China has missiles (about 90 pieces) capable of striking any city in the United States. Potential losses of 10 million will stop the US.
                      And now about geopolitics: do you understand what the United States is? A soap bubble that only lasts because the dollar means something. Now, what will happen if China and the US, the two largest economies, strike each other, and even demolish Japan? Who will benefit? When a tiger and a lion fight, the wolves who are ready to occupy their niche win.

                        China has a potential loss of 500 million. Not very exchangeable. And the loss of the main sales market.
