"Doesn't meet modern requirements": American magazine criticized the F-15EX fighter

The American magazine The National Interest criticized the US Air Force for purchasing the latest F-15EX Advanced Eagle fighters, calling its creation "the biggest mistake."

According to the author of the article published in the magazine, the F-15EX fighter does not meet modern requirements and will not be able to provide the military superiority of the US Air Force. The main drawback of the fighter is the lack of stealth technology, which, in turn, makes the aircraft vulnerable not only to modern anti-aircraft systems in Russia and China, but also to the outdated ones used by the DPRK.

(...) the fighter is unable to withstand arms class "surface-to-air" and "air-to-air" powers such as Russia and China. The spread of the formidable Russian anti-aircraft missile system (SAM) S-400 around the world and the further debut of the S-500 only complicate the F-15EX's flights. Crews will be at serious risk

- declares the author.

The F-15EX's ability to carry up to 22 air-to-air missiles will also not help the fighter in modern combat, the magazine writes, as due to the lack of stealth technology, the plane will simply be shot down.

It doesn't matter how many missiles a fighter can carry if it can't live up to the opportunity to use them

- stresses the columnist NI, adding that the Pentagon spends huge sums on obsolete aircraft, instead of investing in modern fighters.

Recall that the first heavy fighter, the F-15EX Advanced Eagle, entered service with the US Air Force on March 12, a total of 144 new aircraft have been ordered, and serial deliveries will begin in the 2023 fiscal year.

It differs from previous versions of the F-15EX with modern avionics based on the concept of a "digital highway" and the architecture of Open Mission Systems (OMS), including the Raytheon AN / APG-82 series radar with AFAR. The F-15EX is said to be capable of carrying up to 22 air-to-air guided missiles or "hypersonic weapons up to 22 feet long and weighing up to 7000 pounds."

[The leader of the Redskins]

An interesting presentation of the material.
When NI criticizes or doubts our (Chinese, Indian ...) technology, the material is accompanied by an "addition" from the author, so that the couch patriots have something to break away from. And when an American criticizes American technology in an American publication, it's nothing like that ... Silently, objectively ..

And the couch not patriots hurt?

[Simon schempp]

And when an American criticizes American technology in an American publication, nothing is wrong ...

Well, at least it's better than taking a couple of comments from readers of this publication, writing an article based on these comments, and inserting one of the comments into the title of the article. It turns out something like: "In Poland, they called American planes rubbish.", Or "In Japan, Putin is considered the best president in the world," or "Turkey has threatened to close the Injerlik base for NATO aviation."

This is really objectivity))

[Ratmir_Ryazan]

Did they not send a share to the author or what?

They just sent Martin from Lockhead to promote the F-35 more actively, otherwise the program may be curtailed)).

And since the F-15 is not bad, as I understand it, it will be used, as it were, on the second line to cover the F-35 working on the first and breaking into enemy air defenses.

F-15s in a network-centric war will transmit data from their radars to the F-35 and cover them from enemy attacks, shooting down enemy missiles and aircraft (this is precisely why they place them as many as 22 pieces on each).

And the F-35 is assigned the role of a quiet and inconspicuous killer, which will be used as a carrier of high-precision weapons to the place of its release, while it will have to work without using its own radar, which can betray its presence.

The circuit is very real and efficient. Especially considering that the United States has an advantage in the number of aircraft.

The F-15 will conduct reconnaissance and transmit data to the F-35 being at a long distance from air defense objects, which excludes their defeat by anti-aircraft missiles, and the F-35 will knock out air defense objects and abruptly go under the protection of the F-15, and then to its airfield for replenishment B / C. And so wave after wave.

From anti-aircraft fire, the F-15 covers the range, the F-35 is of low visibility, and the numerical superiority of its fighters from fighter aviation.

We need more aircraft, both fighters and AWACS aircraft, like the Yak-44, in order to detect both the F-15 and the F-35 and aim long-range missiles at them.

Otherwise, they will slowly but systematically grind us with their fighter-bombers.

[zwlad]

After the first wave, they will have nowhere to return, well, if I understand correctly our concept of repelling an enemy strike.

This is you in the "top ten", I think that is exactly what you are.
Otherwise, your reasoning is also logical, just the opposite: the F-35 is taking advantage of its capabilities in front, and behind "Truck with weapons" ready to dump it using the information received penguin, network centric databases however. There is something to think about

[Pereira]

How should it be done correctly? The author wrote? What should have been bought?

[dzvero]

What should have been bought?

And there is nothing to buy. The F-22 has been out of production for almost ten years, the F-35 ... keep quiet ... F / A-18 - the Air Force didn't like something, the F-16 is not quite right for such purposes. It turns out that the only solution is to upgrade the F-15, using the advantages and putting on the disadvantages of the machine.

[Lara Croft]

Quote: dzvero

F / A-18 - The Air Force didn't like something,

So it (like F / A - fighter-attack aircraft) was originally made for the carrier-based aircraft of the US Navy, and it is in service with the Canadian Air Force ....

the only solution is to modernize the F-15, using the pros and putting on the disadvantages of the machine

Well, not everyone is ready to endlessly modernize an un-modernized one and then call it an aircraft 4 ++
And then, in your opinion, many countries buy the F-35 in vain ...

[dzvero]

And then, in your opinion, many countries buy the F-35 in vain ...

What other options are there? F-16 and F18, but they are not "super-duper", do not fit into the "new look". In the same category, the French with Rafal, the Swedes with the flu ... and that's it. China and the Russian Federation are also on the market, but "not only everything, few people can afford it" - sanctions, sir.

[ironic]

And how are the F-16s and F-18s sideways to the ticket office of the F-15s? Eurofighter, by the way, you can say yes.

[ironic]

Why be silent about the F-35 then? And the version is practically combat-ready and its production is, in principle, established. It's just that the queue for her is already really big. And the F-15 is never an alternative to it, as well as vice versa. The F-16 does not have any serious orders and its further production is generally in question, and again it is in the F-35 class, not the F-15. F-15EX is a replacement for the F-15C / D and a partial relief on the E, as long as no other alternative is produced.

[ironic]

The fact of the matter is that now there is nothing, therefore, a temporary patch for 200 units is being brewed. At first they wanted 144, but realized that they would not have time to offer something new to replace.

[rocket757]

"Doesn't meet modern requirements": American magazine criticized the F-15EX fighter

... Is it sho, a struggle between concepts or did you care about denyushku?

[ironic]

This magazine indirectly raised the question that the discontinuation of the F-22 was a wrong decision.

[rocket757]

This opinion has been expressed more than once ...
F 22, this is a really serious "bird" that needs to be modernized to modern requirements.
BUT, this is THEIR business, we only observe from the outside.

[ironic]

They recently carried out a serious modernization of the F-22, replaced it with more modern computers, added a new communication system, complementary to the F-35, but there are a little more than 180 of them, and this is not enough for the United States, they should have been about 800 tons.

[rocket757]

Ha, ha, as for me, so burn everything with fire ... I hope you understand why.

[ironic]

Well, we are not discussing a personal relationship to the United States.

[rocket757]

Personal, this is when they personally interfered with me b ... to the other side it is not applicable, from the definition of ALL.
And on the topic ... yes there were statements that the aircraft was modernized. How much more effective it has become, only real application can prove.
At this point in time, a huge amount of military equipment, with declared interesting performance characteristics, but, in practice, nothing has been tested even once, and it is unlikely to be confirmed at all.
As for me, and so it will come down ... I do not wish anyone to experience, in general, the effectiveness of that very technique.
WORLD WORLD, as they say.

[ironic]

But we express our opinion as individuals.
I practically agree with the rest, but from time to time it is still checked. And the world is now very shaky, there are more than one or two points where a scuffle can begin, unfortunately. And politicians are potentially dangerous now in power.

[rocket757]

Not everything is checked ... rarely is it checked at the right level.

Quote: ironic

And politicians are potentially dangerous now in power.

That's right ... of course, having claims to some country, these are most often claims to the ruling elite !!! but, completely separating the ruling and citizens will not work! because the top is chosen by citizens, albeit conditionally. If the chosen elite starts something, the citizens will not get out of the consequences of that in any way. Alas, alas, such is the structure of any state.

[ironic]

The ruling elite of the United States today is certainly not the best, especially considering those who came from the Obamot government. But part of the military wing of the Russian Federation, too, cannot be called anything other than Lamapasism. In general, everyone tried their best to bring the existing conflicts to insolubility without bayonets. Well, in fact, before WWII, everyone in Europe also tried to gloriously play the Hitler card to their advantage. It ended sadly.

[rocket757]

Ours also kosyachat, not without it, but we did not move the missiles and so on to the borders of the strip, this is a FACT. about the rest, where the minke whales were NEVER called, I don't even want to list. The list is awfully long.

[Alex777]

F 22, this is a really serious "bird" that needs to be modernized to modern requirements.

This "birdie" was removed from production because it is expensive even for the United States.
And even their machine cannot print for its modernization. All production lines have been dismantled a long time ago, there are no spare engines, etc. etc.
And this is good.
Possession of "invisible" in peacetime is too expensive.
Only the US military-industrial complex pleases.
The concept of our fighters, IMHO, still looks more successful.
And the article is pure Lockheed's order. 100500%.

[rocket757]

Quote: Alex777

So they modernize the old, proven equipment, make it and send it to the troops !!! This BZ Well is also not casual!
Of course, you can live on debt ... but there are unpleasant nuances!

[Alex777]

So they modernize the old, proven equipment, make it and send it to the troops !!!

I would not call the F-15EX an old technique.
The electronics are better there than on the F-22.
And the main thing is the price. And ready for production.
200 F-15EX is a very serious headache.
And the ability to save the resource "invisible".
And save money for an hour of flight.
And to increase the number of flights per day.

[Alex777]

Of course, you can live on debt ... but there are unpleasant nuances!

I agree. Earlier, debts were written off through wars ...

[aszzz888]

because due to the lack of stealth technology, the plane will simply be shot down.

Let the merikatos adopt tactics from the Ipenites, when the "divine wind" did not particularly need BP. Because, since the Second World War, they should hiccup from memories (who survived).

[Dodikson]

but as for me, this is the best buy of their Air Force
stealth is not a panacea, and the F-15 is an excellent fighter

[El Chuvachino]

+1. The most dangerous fighter in the United States today.

[ironic]

As an interceptor, it fully meets the requirements of the tasks. And in a clash of forces over the battlefield, only if it is covered by the F-35A and acts behind its back as an amplifier.

[Irokez]

I agree completely.
At a time when the continuation of the financial crisis and the fading of the dollar are coming, the expensive and high-tech F-22 and F-35 states may not be able to pull both financially and technologically, which means that a workhorse is needed that is cheaper and time-tested slightly modified for new terms.
Accordingly, the new fighters are no longer rolling and to admit this is insulting and disastrous, and therefore they are trying to push them further by smearing the previous generation. And maybe the order came paid for criticism of a competitor.

[ironic]

Yes, yes, we no longer know how many years we have been hearing about the financial decay of the United States, but they all decay and decay ... and they all do not pull and do not pull ...

[Irokez]

When a person drowns, he tries with all his might to stay afloat, and when all his strength has dried up, he immediately goes under the water and this process is fast, and not the same as you imagine. The moment of collapse can be today and tomorrow and in 1-2 years and you do not know exactly when, but it all depends on how the world's financial oligarchs decide.

[ironic]

There was also 97th and 2003rd and 2008th. Everyone who understands has seen everything and everyone knows how to do it and what the consequences are. It is really impossible to pre-order exactly, the general picture is clear. Well, yes, the next crisis is inevitable. I’ll even tell you more, it will not be the last. And not even one. And the United States will and will continue to have crises. The USA will not cease to be from this.

[Irokez]

The United States will not disappear correctly, but its exclusivity and hegemony will disappear, and everything is heading towards this, and today it is seen more than ever by those who have eyes.
This is an era of political, social, economic changes, and in this era, it is always and everywhere difficult to live in chaos. In this chaos, the United States will just hang out, which promises them a general fall.

[Lara Croft]

Quote: Irokez

Accordingly, the new fighters are no longer rolling and to admit this is insulting and disastrous.

If the F-35 is such a failure, why are all known countries re-equipping their air forces with it, and why many countries - China, Russia, South Caucasus, EU, Japan, are developing their 5th generation aircraft ...?

[Irokez]

Quote: Lara Croft

If the F-35 is such a failure, why are all known countries re-equipping their air forces with it?

Because they invested in cooperation in this expensive pleasure with the promises of the main executor that the plane would be the most stupid, but it turned out that the 5th generation never shines for him either in speed or in maneuverability. Seeing this, some cooperators, having bought it, begin to create their own fighter on its technologies, but the best in many respects because the F-35 is really a failure in some technical characteristics, but in science and technology it is so modern.

[Lara Croft]

Quote: Irokez

Because they invested in cooperation in this expensive pleasure with the promises of the main executor that the plane would be the most stupid, but it turned out that the 5th generation never shines for him either in speed or maneuverability.

So what prevented them from leaving the project? History knows a lot with such an example, for example, the same EF "Typhoon", when it was created, many left the project or reduced the number of purchased fighters.
Then only Lockheed Martin creates the F-35 and no other country participates in its construction. You are confusing potential F-35 operators and project participants. Anyone who ordered the F-35 from the United States can abandon them or reduce the number of purchased fighters ...

As Lockheed Martin announced on March 3, 2020, the F-500A manufactured for the US Air Force became the 35th fighter of this type. At the moment, out of 500 manufactured and delivered F-35 aircraft, for modification F-35A relate 354 aircraft, for modification F-35B - 108 aircraft, and for the modification of the F-35C - 38 aircraft.
Today F-35 is in service with nine countries, With four operators of this aircraft used it in hostilities (Air Force and US Marines, Israel, Great Britain)... The total flight time of the F-35 of all types has reached 250 thousand hours.

First.
The F-35 is significantly cheaper than the F-15EX in terms of production. and in operation. in the life cycle, for example, 15 years.
Second.
Pilots capable of flying 5th generation aircraft in full compliance with the functionality of these aircraft make up no more than 20% of the number of combat pilots available.
No more than 20%. Even after retraining.
Accordingly, it is necessary to find many new pilots (and they are sorry, but they study for a very long time).
And you need to somehow use the existing pilots who are not capable of 5th generation aircraft. but well-proven on 4th generation aircraft.
The same goes for technicians. By avionics, by engines, by airframe, etc. all-all support units.
The third.
The competencies of production personnel of airlines should always be at approximately the same level. Otherwise, after a while, there will be no competition in manufacturers and the industry will wither away entirely.

This contract for the production of the F-15EX is a comprehensive set of measures on a national scale, in which the aircraft itself is the fifth thing. or even the tenth ...

[Irokez]

The F-35 are planning to make several thousand for themselves and for partners and, accordingly, reduce the cost, which was planned in a large perspective, and the personnel of the old aircraft remained as they were, and in view of the knocking out of personnel as well as technology, gradually move and teach new ones to new equipment.
And here the F-35 is somehow not quite in the required parameters, and the F-22 has been discontinued and most likely will no longer be supplied, so where to look for a replacement and which one? Correctly F-15 is the best way out if it is mapped to the new realities of life.

[ironic]

The F-35 was not supposed to be in the F-15 replacement parameters.

[ironic]

Interceptor, bomber, missile platform, yes. And above the battlefield and in areas of vulnerability from air defense is the place of the F-35A.

[sined]

NI sometimes praises and criticizes them, you will not understand them. Instead of analyzing from the available data, coming to conclusions in the form of disadvantages and advantages, they draw one conclusion and make a verdict around it. Yesterday the F-15EX is a killer of dryers, today is a mistake by the Pentagon. Can you stop publishing news in the form of opinions of some authors of the foreign press? NI is not an institution that does extensive analysis and all that. Although ... Thank you for the fact that you stopped publishing selective comments from the foreign press!

[yehat2]

obvious order of lobbyists
ships according to the program that I saw, the airsoft is not at all for working in conditions of serious air defense, for this there are hundreds of f-35s and other machines.
And he is quite capable of overcoming the frivolous.
In addition, even if we consider the same Syria, there are quite a lot of opportunities for him.
Meanwhile, it will be the most powerful strike aircraft in the Air Force, surpassing the F-35 by 2-3 times.

[Dodikson]

it was originally taken as an analogue of the MiG-31K, as a carrier of hypersonic weapons

[yehat2]

Quote: Dodikson

it was originally taken as an analogue of the MiG-31K

no one considered it as an analogue of the mig-31.
he can intercept, but only for tactical purposes.
It is not suitable for MIG-31 speeds and individual hunting in a huge territory.
except that the load is back and forth analog.

[Dodikson]

The MiG-31K is not an interceptor, but a Dagger anti-ship missile carrier.
The F-15EX was taken as a carrier of the future analogue of the Dagger.

[yehat2]

f-15ex was taken exactly as a flying arsenal.
The United States has a stupid problem to bomb is not as expensive as it is now.
this plane also solves the problem.

[Dodikson]

as a flying arsenal, the F-15 has other models, the number of suspensions and the combat load have not changed.
specifically EX was taken for future hypersonic weapons

Air Force Major General David Krumm, in an interview with Air Force reporters, said the new fighters could become launching pads for deterring hypersonic weapons.

The F-15EX is said to be capable of carrying up to 22 air-to-air guided missiles or "hypersonic weapons up to 22 feet long and weighing up to 7000 pounds."

22 UR VV, he could carry earlier, moreover, he could carry the UAB 28

[ironic]

No, I couldn't. The number of pendants has also changed. The wings are different. Only outwardly they look similar.

[Dodikson]

Ф15Х could .......

[ironic]

This is practically the same plane, we just decided not to make a single-seat version.

[Dodikson]

that is, it's still a drummer.
as I said
and so in comparison with SE the number of suspensions has increased from 9 to 12, here you are right.

[ironic]

It is, after all, multipurpose. Drummer with interception capabilities. In Israel, the F-15I is a version based on the E, but it was rebuilt according to the same principles, the drummer is daily, if necessary, the interceptor. And they are also going to upgrade it to the EX version, well, as far as possible, of course, from the previous version. T. e. change of wings, computer, radar, some sensors.

[OgnennyiKotik]

The F-15EX is a very versatile machine. A fighter with a high payload that can fly far and fast. Accordingly, it can close the task of intercepting, escorting, long-range patrolling, carrying an arsenal of missiles and bombs, carrying "heavy" hypersonic and cruise missiles, do not forget that it has TNW in service. A very wide range of tasks that can change over time. There are no questions regarding its purchase, a very necessary and formidable car.

[ironic]

There are no questions about its purchase, since the F-22 is not enough in terms of ciseness, and the termination of its production was an obvious mistake that they do not want to publicly admit. Until the replacement of the F-22 appears, it is necessary to replace the F-15C / D with something else. For one and the function E to partly pull back on the newer model.

[Dodikson]

if ROFAR is released soon, F-22 will be worse than F-15

[ironic]

I will soon already soon know how much I hear? AFAR is still in the Russian Federation on fighters in single copies.

[Dodikson]

on the planet there is not only the Russian Federation, there is also China. and his work on ROFAR is also progressing.
Yes, and we, as I understand it, AFAR decided to slip by making a bet on ROFAR.

[ironic]

But China has already successfully mastered AFAR. But where to slip through, it is not yet clear.

[OgnennyiKotik]

For the F-22, as there was no enemy, it still does not. A prototype NGAD for the Air Force is already flying. By the age of 30, it will just go into production, only then there will be competitors for the F-22 in marketable quantities.

[ironic]

The problem is that there are few of them, so the United States cannot apply where it would like. It is necessary to somehow reach the 30s, and the flying fleet of F-15s can no longer reach the 30s in terms of production.

[OgnennyiKotik]

Is the F-22 one or what? There are more than enough of them for group tactics. A huge fleet of F-15/16/35, in the number of AWACS and tankers the whole world surpasses several times. There are also fighters in the Navy, the ILC, and the National Guard. This is without allies. Again, Loyal Wingman will enter service in 25 years, light UAV fighters can be riveted with the speed of cars.

[ironic]

Well, no, of course he is not alone, but in his class he was supposed to change the F-15, but he did not. The rest of the planes are from other classes and not quite the same tasks.

[yehat2]

there is one more aspect - the use of heavy guided bombs from great heights. ex it will do better than the old E

[ironic]

Mainly because the MiG-31 has a supersonic cruise by means of partial afterburner. Those. very specialized aircraft and engine.

[ism_ek]

It is an analogue of the Su-34

[Dodikson]

analogue of the duckling Strike Eagle F-15E

[ironic]

Actually, the main problem is that there is nothing to replace the F-15C / D with nothing, and the plaque is already such that it is further dangerous. And the F-15E can be brought to the same state that it will be erased to holes. So we welded a temporary replacement for some and support for the second in one bottle.

[voyaka uh]

As an additional weapon of the "second line", "flying arsenal of explosive missiles"
this modification of the F-15 is suitable.
If an F-35 is flying in front of them, they reconnoiter
targets, destroy air defense, and provide target designation for long-range explosive missiles.

F-15EX will not reach the AIM-120 launch linehow the radar will be detected and then hit by the RVV-BD R-37M ... Take and calculate at what distance the F-035EX fighter will be detected by the N15 "Irbis" radar and then the R-37M will be destroyed.
Dodikson is wrong - his information is out of date.

[Dodikson]

R-37M is not designed to destroy fighters, it was made to destroy AWACS, tankers, strategic bombers, transports, because its maneuverability is not so hot.
what am I wrong and what infa in my comets is outdated?

[Dread]

"R-37M is designed to destroy air targets (fighters, attack aircraft, bombers, military transport aircraft, helicopters, cruise missiles), at any time of the day, at all angles, in conditions of electronic countermeasures, against the background of the earth and water surfaces, including with multichannel shelling according to the principle of "let go and forget ".

p-37 has limited maneuverability. the AWACS aircraft will not leave it, but the F-15 can.

I wrote the truth, at the maximum distance ALL single-stage missiles have maneuverability to hell
it is the poet that the European Meteor is considered almost a standard, because it has enough energy for maneuvers even at the end point. the R-37M does not have such an opportunity, therefore, more competent resources already directly write that this is a missile for non-maneuverable targets.

the poet is the European The meteor is considered almost a standard , because he has enough energy for maneuvers even at the end point. the R-37M does not have such an opportunity, therefore, more competent resources already directly write that this is a missile for non-maneuverable targets.

Dodikson, you don't have to write a lie if you don't know! Meteor - this is not a standard, the range is too small for the RVV-BD and the speed is too small to hit rapidly flying targets.
The RVV-BD R-37M has enough energy for maneuvers with excess energy, since it is constantly accelerating in flight range and has a maximum flight speed at the end of its trajectory ...

[Dodikson]

darkness, even got sick to argue, you stupidly do not know the subject of what you are arguing. do not argue, this is not yours, you have no coincidences with the materiel at all, and if Che Meteor is the standard NOT in terms of range. but if you do not know this, then there is nothing to argue with you

[ironic]

The Phoenix was a missile capable of shooting down a very limited number of targets. And is it better than the AIM-120 Meteor, which has a smaller range on a running engine, is a big question.

[Dodikson]

and missiles and missile launchers of explosives are never allowed to reach the maximum range, because the enemy flies away corny. usually fired at 40-60% of the maximum range

[ironic]

In your stories it is big and in uryakostyah in Russian. European meteors with a range of 110 km, on a running engine, are better than all today's missiles in this class, including more distant American and Russian ones. Just not three again with a highlighted text about knowledge. You are a set of one-sided information, not knowledge, and you do not know the meaning of this word.

If an F-35 is flying in front of them, they reconnoiter
targets, destroy air defense,

Thoughts are correct, but you take a bit narrow ... "We will beat the enemy on his territory ..." Continuous "hurray, we are advancing, and the enemy is running, running, running."
There is also a defense with interception, and a counter battle with a build-up on both sides. And ambushes. This is where a massive air combat aircraft will be needed. Dropping the F-15 would be a mistake. And repeating the F-22 and improving it is expensive and time-consuming.

[Victor Tsenin]

The United States does not have a very wide choice, the F-22 is not produced, the F-35 is known for what, so if in mind, then it is a completely reasonable attempt to keep in shape an overall successful aircraft.

[ironic]

The F-35A is known for what, the most massive front-line multi-role fighter-bomber that will replace the F-16 and Harier in the United States and many of its allies, which does not yet have full-fledged competitors in its class above the front line. The F-15X cannot be an alternative to them. He is an intermediate link until the replacement of the F-22, the termination of production of which was simply an obvious mistake.

[Victor Tsenin]

In the expression, it is known what was meant, an inferior fighter and an inferior bomber, in comparison with the American machines of the previous generation. Specialists and experts in the United States recognize this as an indisputable fact. Therefore, this, as you say, is intermediate, noticeably inferior to the new version of the F-15 in all relevant functions, except for stealth, and this is also a fact.

[ironic]

Well, it's not clear why it is meant if the F-16 is a full-fledged bomber, and the F-35 is better as a bomber. The F-16 is a full-fledged front-line fighter, and the F-35 is better as a front-line fighter. Specialists, who are not quite experts, do not quite recognize and it is not clear what fact. It's like in the joke about Rabinovich's winning in the lotto. In addition, these are cars of different classes and therefore they have initially incomparable functionality in certain parameters. The F-15X is inferior to the F-35A in non-afterburner flight speed, in the maximum angle of attack, at which the car retains full controllability and the ability to sharply reduce speed. Apparently, you also do not really understand the meaning of the word fact.

[Victor Tsenin]

> F-16 full-fledged bomber

How long ago did the F-16 go from being a fighter / bomber to a full-fledged front-line bomber?
What exactly is the F-35 superior to the F-16, given its low speed, load, sky-high cost, capriciousness and unreliability?

> F-15X is inferior to F-35A
You tried so hard, but did not provide a much more extensive list of advantages of the F-15EX) For example, adequate cost, extreme reliability, much more weighty speed, load, maneuverability, etc.?

Do not think, personally, I would very much like the United States to have as many F-35s as possible, and the F-15EX not at all. God grant that with your prayers and facts this will happen)

[ironic]

As a fighter bomber, I mean by functioning as a bomber, is he complete? Yes. So the F-35 is more complete. The F-16 has a high maximum speed in afterburner, but it can be on it for a very long time and it takes time to accelerate to it. The F-35A has a high average speed, the ability to supercruise up to a speed of 1.2M, as well as a larger supply of fuel, which allows it to use the afterburner more often than the F-16. In addition, the F-35A has a larger maximum controllable angle of attack, a high acceleration speed from transonic subsonic to low supersonic and better braking back to subsonic, as well as radial deflection of the aircraft nose to the side while maintaining the direction of flight. Its cost is already below 80 million, which is adequate, it is more expensive than the F-16 only in service, which by the way is better (this is about reliability), and in the operating hour the block 16 does not differ fundamentally from the F-72.

Firstly, these are planes of different cash desks and destinations, which undoubtedly makes certain performance characteristics incomparable. The cost of the F-15EX is higher than the F-35A. Reliability is not yet known. The speed is higher with the afterburner, but the non-afterburner speed is higher for the F-35A. Their task load should not be comparable, and maneuverability at a speed of about 1M is a big question for who is better. The F-15 does not know how to "brake" as much as the F-35A and so turn the nose to the side and does not have such controlled angles of attack.

Well, your words will come true. The F-35A in the troops of any countries using Amerkinskaya equipment will be at least three times more than the F-15EX. I also strongly support your desire for your country. 75 F-35A on 25 F-15EX is a successful combination.

Advice and love is such a delight)

[Victor Tsenin]

I just remembered the speech about the F-35, when I read the opinion of a wise man, it is very interesting.

A successful combination is the Su-57 and Su-35S)

[Zaurbek]

Lobbyists F15 and F35 share money ...

[Sergey985]

It's just that the Pentagon really looks at things. The budget is not rubber. And the F-22 and F-35 cost prohibitive costs. Some storage conditions are worth what. And the old F-15 and F-16 already need to be written off (resource depletion). So, soon the Air Force will shrink to microscopic (by the standards of the country) size. With China and Russia, no war is foreseen, and in local conflicts with a weak enemy there will be nothing to fight with. Again, stealth is not a panacea. Yes, and the United States has electronic warfare equipment (and no matter what anyone says, they are quite effective). And the combat load of the F-15 is solid, and it can stand up for itself. Again, the operation is cheaper (and hence the higher combat readiness)

[Niko]

The Americans, of course, became insolent, accustomed to the fact that their technique should be head and shoulders above everyone else, if not superior, but simply good, they are already dissatisfied

[mojohed2012]

Well done author!
The Pentagon needs to listen! Write off as many planes as possible.
Why fly on junk and junk? It is better to buy more F-35s, which are useless in terms of fighters.

[Maxim_ok]

The National Interest is the publication where is Pushkov on the editorial board since 2022? And the publisher, together with Nikonov, is broadcasting "The Big Game" on the First Channel? Dima Simis. Well, of course, then the F-15X is a mistake ...
