"Soviet technology will exhaust its resource in the coming years": in Ukraine they propose to choose a fighter from JAS39 Gripen and F-16 for the Air Force

79

The Ukrainian press publishes a statement by the representatives of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (VVS) on plans to re-equip the fleet with a military aviation... The statement indicates that in 2021, the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will announce a tender for a new fighter, which should appear in service with the Ukrainian Air Force until 2035.

Ukrainian journalists:



It is necessary to analyze the needs of our Air Force Air Force, to look at the situation in this regard with the neighbors. But in any case it is impossible to hesitate, since Soviet technology will exhaust its resource in the coming years.

"Ukrainian military portal" invites the command of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces to consider the issue of buying fighters abroad - while the issue of creating their own (Ukrainian combat aircraft) will be resolved. The proposal is as follows: consider the options for acquiring either the JAS39 Gripen from Sweden or the F-16 Block 70/72 from the United States.

From the material:

Approximately such a choice should face the Ukrainian Air Force very soon.

Recall that a few days earlier in Ukraine announced the next "modernization" of the MiG-29 fighters. It was reported that they were equipped with weapons that would allow them to strike at military equipment on the ground.

As a reference, it should be added that the Swedish JAS39 Gripen fighters from SAAB are in service not only with the Swedish Air Force, but also with the air forces of countries such as the Czech Republic, Hungary, Thailand and South Africa. In Britain, one such fighter is used as a training aircraft in a private test pilot school. F-16 fighters are much more widespread in the world.

              The proposal is good, the glider cannot be confused with another. But, most likely, it will be necessary to acquire second-hand in Poland or Bulgaria.

All those whom you have named, except for the Ukrainians, are not Russians, and since Russians cannot fight, they will be crushed at once! And they know it. The so-called Ukrainians, who are actually Russians, are quite another matter!

        In fact, the Swedes, making Gripen, laid the same idea - a cheap plane with minimal ground handling "on condition", excellent service from the manufacturer. But the trouble is - the Gripen phenomenon made a splash at first, an ideal car for the poor. But then, to their misfortune, it turned out that he wandered into the "field" where the Americans feed. And that's all. The plane is no worse than the F-16 suddenly turned out to be of no use to anyone.
        So either the F-16 is in debt, or the donut hole. In vain that they were fed cookies, not for some Swedes.

        Sweden is very consistently pursuing a pronounced anti-Russian policy. In the 1950s, they even prepared to use tactical nuclear weapons against the USSR, and developed an "atomic cannon".

          Ukraine’s military budget for 2020 TOTAL 246 billion hryvnias, of which 17 billion hryvnias (NOT DOLLARS) are planned for the purchase and development of novya ... and I’m not looking any deeper for how much on the Air Force .... i.e. at the moment 635 million dollars .... we think further ... Saab JAS-39E / F Gripen - 48 million dollars .... F-16 Block 70/72 - 50 million dollars ... and it's bare airplanes ... without infrastructure, without training and without power supply ..... 6 pieces (2020-2021) + 8 pcs. X 5 years (until 2030) + well, and let another 8 pcs. X 5 years (until 2035) = 86 units for 15 years or $ 4,1 billion for 15 years only on bare planes ... but in fact Brazil bought 36 Saab JAS-39E / F Gripen for $ 5,4 billion. ....those. 86 aircraft = 12,9 billion dollars. DELIM for 15 = 860 million dollars. ANNUALLY from 635 million which ALL have ALL ALL new weapons and R&D ..... and this is the minimum of their plans .... let's calculate the maximum of 6 pieces. (until 2025) + 12 pcs X 5 years (until 2030) + 12 pcs X 5 years (until 2035) = 126 years = 18,9 billion dollars / 15 years = 1,26 billion dollars a year ..... ..M-MATHEMATICS - Queen of Sciences

      It is strange that during your maintenance and operation, it (Soviet equipment) has not yet exhausted its resource. Obviously they knew how to do it. Well, if you buy, then, of course, according to Ukrainian logic, American is better, or as a verbal compensation for Motor Sich, Chinese.

        It's like that. But unlike the countries that were previously on American weapons. Ukraine will have to buy not only aircraft, but also all the machinery, equipment and ammunition for the operation of these aircraft. Plus training for flight and technical personnel. And the prices for all this pleasure in the case of US technology are not small.

        Used F-16s are very expensive to maintain, the Ukrainian Air Force has already calculated that it is not profitable to take them used ... even for free.
        The main problem of Ukraine is that for air military equipment of modern standards, it is necessary to train not only pilots, but also technicians and airfield staff. This means that training requires at least 5 years, i.e. in the best case, a new aircraft will be adopted in 2021 + 5 = 2026. Therefore, after the choice, we will observe trips towards the preferences of delegations, as well as massive long-term business trips of flight personnel and technicians, personnel of aerodromes. Further, now a number of Ukrainian aerodromes are hastily equipped with modern equipment from the USA and Great Britain. The Ukrainian military begged him for free for the ability of the US and British Air Forces to use it as a jump airport in emergency situations in the air.
        Now regarding the aircraft, Canada offered services for the sale of the F-18 ... given ours and their climate ... this is the preferred car. F-16 is good for the desert, but with our frosts ... better than F-18.

      tender for a new fighter, which should appear in service with the Ukrainian Air Force until 2035.

      Amazing ... Along the way, the rabbit Senya once again sent his emissaries to the Armed Forces of Ukraine with Euro-carrots on bacon .. In order to extend this bottomless feeder with crazy grandmothers leaving the territory of Krajina ..

      If I am not mistaken, the F-16 has an "inverse" display system as compared to the aircraft of the USSR - "from the plane to the ground", the USSR adopted the "from the ground to the plane" system. This will require a very serious restructuring of the entire training system for pilots who will fly on these aircraft and, most likely, training them abroad. Moreover, in the event of retraining, a pilot will not be able to sit at the helm of a different type without a much more serious and, accordingly, expensive retraining than now. So, logically, there should be Gripen. If earlier it was about the "Chinese", especially interesting given the engines produced by the MS, now, given the situation around the MS, this option is not visible at all.

        most likely teaching them abroad.
        Foreign F-16 pilots are trained in either Luke AFB or Tucson

        are you about the horizon, aka PFD? This display system is likely to become the standard, although it takes some getting used to

      They can choose only where to get the money, even if it is not a fact that they will be given it on credit, and if they do, they will have to pay, but they are not able to pay for the loans they have taken. In addition, their begging faces have already become so familiar to the West that soon they will simply start kicking in the ass without speaking. Their only hope is that Biden will be fed, but the senile people will have enough problems without them now.

      Well, their electronics are well harnessed by Russian electronic warfare equipment. At the same time, modern American fighters turn into airplanes and fall like a stone into the ground, burrowing into the very tomatoes.

      I think Russia should be interested in Ukraine's purchase of this type of aircraft and, most importantly, in as new a modification as possible. Then, you see, a couple of pilots will fly to Russia, and she will receive modern avionics for study. And then they completely lagged behind in this direction. No matter what the jingoistic patriots say.
