U.S. Air Force continues to deploy F-35 fighters to Alaska

The United States continues to deploy fifth generation F-35 fighters to Alaska, thereby increasing the Arctic grouping. According to the press service of the Air Force, three more fighters arrived at Eielson Air Base in Alaska.

According to the representative of the airbase, Kayleigh Dubois, the planes arrived ahead of the delivery schedule, they were expected no earlier than April. Taking into account the newly arrived aircraft, the total number of F-35 fighters at the air base has reached 23 units. The previous arrival of aircraft was in December 2020, then five F-35s arrived at the airbase at once.

Dubois explained that a total of 54 F-35 fighters are expected to be deployed, by the end of 2021, the 336th and 335th squadrons, based at Eielson airbase, should receive all the aircraft. Thus, each squadron will have 27 fighters. The main task of the F-35 is to suppress enemy air defenses and carry out offensive operations.

Eielson Air Force Base is located in Fairbanks, 1200 km from the Russian border in the Far East. The Air Force command explains the deployment of the F-35 in Alaska by the strengthening of Russia's positions in the Arctic region and protection from "Russian bombers". In the absence of icebreakers in control of the Arctic territory, the United States is betting on the superiority of its aviation in the air.

Note that in addition to the F-35, F-22s are also based in Alaska. At Elmendorf-Richardson Air Force Base, home to the headquarters of the United States Armed Forces Command in Alaska (ALCOM), 40 fifth-generation F-22 Raptor fighters are deployed.

Let them drive the penguins as much as possible, so that, if anything, they can cover everyone with one rocket ...
And this is the question that arose .... how are they predisposed to frost and snow with a stealth cover?
Climbs around like a bald dog?

Sorry for the penguins! There are not many of them left

[Simon]

Yeah, especially in Alaska!

Penguins are Antarctica.)))

So the tests are being carried out. Massive.

[unhappy]

They often write about the high cost of an hour of flight and do not talk about the cost of an hour of storing the "miracle paint" on the skin of an aircraft. And this is I suppose hangar storage with climate control Just like in a museum.

[max702]

In Alaska, everything is fine with this since the time of the F-22 .. And, in principle, building a hangar for a couple of million is not so expensive for an airplane, the cost is 100 million ..

[unhappy]

Climate control is a complex, expensive system. Its operation costs money, and you mean the hangar (
It seems that the paint has peeled off because of the problem with moisture? One of the climate control parameters ...

[max702]

Well, hangars there were to put it mildly gut ..

[oleg-gr]

The F-35s and F-22s at Elmendorf-Richardson Air Force Base are destined for a terrifying role for "Russian bombers". Everyone was very scared. Everyone hid.

[Nikolay Ivanov_5]

They look for an enemy, if not, then they come up with him, begin to ascribe different qualities to him, convince everyone that they have him, and then they start to be afraid of him. Ultimate stars and stripes paranoid.

[Vladimir_2U]

And Rastorguev even when he warned: "Ekaterina, you were wrong! .."
And so the Merikatos are in their right actually.

[Nikolay Ivanov_5]

Only now Catherine is not to blame for the transfer of Alaska to America.

It's a pity that Rastorguev was not in the know.

The initiator of the Alaska deal was Grand Duke Konstantin Nikolaevich (younger brother of Alexander II).

Shoot (posthumously) for treason.

Obviously, it doesn't even smell like defense. Interestingly, they are going to carry out "offensive operations" in Chukotka, or are they going to fly somewhere further without refueling? So the Russian territory is not some kind of "banana republic" and your "invisibles" are visible to the Russian air defense.

[Runway]

Up to a PC with two gas stations. One way. It smacks of absurdity if they don't bounce from Shemya and Adak.

Are they going to fly in Chukotka or even where further without refueling?

1200 km from our borders? Not the dipped beam ... So let yourself ... He can't fly ...

[Thrifty]

What air defense, and what country can these underplanes suppress? Do the inhabitants of Oceania, or Palenesia have air defense systems? Or, the Yankees stupidly think that "super-ignorance" will play into the hands of suicide bombers sent to suppress the Russian air defense-missile defense system. ???

Why are you bothering people with spelling? Who are you here? What is it with someone beguiled? A rural elementary school with a website? Or do you take exams in Russian?

I wonder why you don't want to write correctly? Especially on the Internet, where spell check is a matter of a few seconds.
Don't you respect the Russian language?

[Thrifty]

Sidor Avampodestovich, why did you write the word Russian with a small letter? Enough to be smart, write on the topic, or go past my comments "my school teacher" ...

[Sidor Amenpodestovich]

Quote: Thrifty

why did you write the word Russian with a small letter then?

In Russian, nationality is written with a small letter - Russian, Belarusian, Ukrainian, Tatar, etc. It's in English with a big one. Likewise with the pronoun "I". In Russian with a small, and in English with a capital - "I"

[Lt. Air Force stock]

So I, too, never understood the nagging about spelling on the Internet, maybe for a person Russian is not a native language? So he writes with errors, what is it that you should do at once? I also used to write on foreign sites using google translator. And I can imagine what kind of nonsense native English speakers sometimes had to read.

[Sidor Amenpodestovich]

You don't make mistakes in every word, do you? But, if you are not sure about the spelling of a word, what prevents you from clarifying it on the Internet? Only laziness. Carelessness. "And so it will come down," as Vovka said in the Far Away Kingdom.
It is common for every person to make mistakes, but only a fool is inherent in persisting in his mistake. It was not I who said it, but Cicero.

Converges, if against "Russian bombers" at airfields. Then the air defense and the bombers themselves after. And the implementation of "offensive operations" in the subject at the same time. But, really, they are quite morose! They are no longer hiding anything.

[Alex_You]

You read the impression that they did not drive a multipurpose F-35 to Alaska, but a pure A-10 attack aircraft.

[Ros 56]

And what will they do there, or is it to test their performance at low temperatures?

[Dzafdet]

Well, here's another target for the Zircons formed. Place, place ... We will send you a gift on M day, a lot of warmth and light ...

In the absence of icebreakers in control of the Arctic territory, the United States relies on the superiority of its aviation in the air.

We don't have toilet paper, but we have good sandpaper ...

[Alex_You]

In the absence of icebreakers in control of the Arctic territory, the United States relies on the superiority of its aviation in the air.

In Florida, too, probably due to the lack of icebreakers, a stake is made on "superiority of its aviation in the air"?

[Sancho_SP]

Rearmament is probably more correct. Or are they deploying two MORE squadrons there?

[retrograde]

Did you know what we are designing about the bridge?

[Kind Man_2]

Soon the "exceptional" will have to remove their defective handicrafts from the primordially Russian lands. It's time for Alaska to return to its home harbor.

[Iris]

The news feed has been sucked out of thin air: the staff members are deploying their fighters on their territory, 1200 km from our borders. They have a right.
