The newest American heavy fighter F-15EX received the official name

The American heavy-armed fighter F-15EX Advanced Eagle received its official name. According to defensenews.com, the naming ceremony took place at Eglin Air Force Base.

The new American fighter jet, named the F-15EX Eagle II, was announced by US Air Force Procurement Chief Lieutenant General Duke Richardson during a deployment and naming ceremony held on April 7, 2021 at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida.

The general confirmed that the new F-15EX Eagle II will replace the older F-15C / D fighters in the US Air Force, which have an average age of 37-40 years. In total, the American Air Force will receive 144 newest fighters capable of carrying hypersonic weapon.

As previously reported, the first batch of F-15EX will include eight fighters, two of which the Air Force receives this spring (the first has already been delivered), and the remaining six only in 2023. All eight aircraft will be deployed at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida, where they will take part in tests. Serial deliveries are also planned from 2023.

It differs from previous versions of the F-15EX in modern avionics based on the concept of "digital trunk" and the architecture of Open Mission Systems (OMS), including the Raytheon AN / APG-82 radar series with an active phased array. The F-15EX is said to be capable of carrying up to 22 guided air-to-air missiles or "hypersonic weapons up to 22 feet long and weighing up to 7000 pounds." The fighter will only be delivered in a two-seater version.

No, pounds to poods, but feet can be translated, for example, into elbows.

[Yngvar]

Exactly! And horsepower in kilobzdens!

[Kaman]

The F-15 is the best fighter of the 4th generation, it has every chance of staying in the ranks for 100 years, like the B-52

[Yngvar]

The best, not the best ... The F-15, of course, is worthy of a dispute! I didn’t say anything bad about this. It's just that the measurement systems are amerikosovskie "mossy".

[Recon]

One of the best, no doubt about it, you overdid it with the absolute best.

It doesn't matter. The key word is "capable of carrying." And there .... There is something to carry, there is nothing to carry ... At least a railway tank of 60 cubic meters. It has been said - "capable of bearing."...

Py.Sy. Of course, they know how to smear paper. But the trouble is - we know THEIR classics better than they themselves. And that the paper on which international treaties are drawn burns at 451 Fahrenheit - I knew about that even at an early pioneer age.

Either we have it simply and elegantly: "deeply modernized", "very deeply modernized" (and further) or: generation ++, generation +++ (further advantages are added as needed).

features modern avionics based on the "digital highway" concept

We, too, would benefit from our own "digital highway" on our planes, and especially on ships.
On cars, back in 2000, digital buses were switched, and we are all sitting on a heap of wires.
It would not hurt to pay attention to this.

[Dmitry Makarov]

Obsolete aircraft, which is more expensive than the 5th generation "stealth fighter" F-35
It smacks of undermining defenses, sabotage and sabotage, under Stalin they were shot for this.

[bk316]

Bullshit. A good plane like its ancestor. Definitely better than a penguin.

[donavi49]

Opposite the plane for calls. By the way - an example of where the Su-35 would go, which is just much more suitable for "An obsolete aircraft under Stalin was shot for this." Price - when radar is relevant in the 90s, in the absence of growth in quantity and minimum in the quality of ammunition, primitive working conditions on the ground.

What the Americans did that they didn't do in Sukhoi:
- We planted electronics of the 5th generation. From all kinds of tires and systems for working with UAVs, to the advanced AFAR radar. While in the dry, they saved money here - dreaming of all kinds of ROFAR by the 40s.
- We have significantly expanded the range of suspended vehicles, including advanced small-size precision bombs. This is not yet on any aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces or a prototype.
- Developed the tactics of the arsenal aircraft - dry killer = 22 AIM-120C7 missiles on one plane, against 8 now and 8-10 for the Su-35. In practice, it can work in tandem with the quiet F-22/35 and throw missiles at everything that appears in the sky. And then there is someone who is over-maneuvering and who is not. In any case, disruption of the enemy's combat mission.
- Developed mass destroyer tactics in low and medium intensity conflicts. When there are many targets such as a pickup truck, infantry fighting vehicles, a group of people and they must be identified in a populated area and destroyed. It carries 28 GBU-39 and GBU-53 - 90-130 kg of guided bombs. The latter, by the way, has a three-component seeker and can independently hit a previously marked pickup-type target at a distance of 70 km from the launch. The Su-35 cannot even dream of such wunderwalks - cast iron according to the computer system for calculating the drop point and expensive bombs using Glonass or already neolithic bombs with laser correction (you need illumination from a carrier, ground group or UAV) is all there is.

It's strange how you reason - we have expensive Glonass, and they have, like, cheap ones with a three-component GOS.

[donavi49]

Well, KAB-500S is really very expensive. The expected 3 million for the product did not come close, they swam in the region of 4-4,5. And articles about this were regularly published on the bmpd, for example. At the same time, it is a rather primitive and inflexible bomb to use.

The Americans have a plan to reach 100-110 thousand for GBU-53. Expensive, but again the functionality is really strong there.

[Bradley]

They tightened the platform itself a lot. In Needle II, there is not even HUD, only huge MFDs.
They stuffed a lot of things in there!

In any case, both are expensive (naturally, I will note). But for some reason, you put it at a disadvantage for us, while in the United States, it seems like this is normal (although it is two or three times more expensive).

[donavi49]

The USA has cheat codes for money this time.

The two are incommensurable things.
KAB-500S - works on the principle of reconnaissance - objective control revealed a target (stationary), entered coordinates - the bomb was suspended, dropped in the launch area, and it hit the stationary target autonomously. Well, I'm already silent that the maximum range is 9 km. That is, what kind of air defense missile system MD can throw in response and this will be a problem.

GBU-53 - works on the principle of in situ in flight, locate the target at a distance of up to 70 km. She leads and strikes her autonomously, even in motion. Hold due to IR imaging of the contour day and night, as well as millimeter-wave radar.

Mass production matters.

[Bad_gr]

What is in the Su-27, Su-30, Su-34, Su-35 that is not in the F-15.
The F-15 has no batteries at all and no APU. So, without an appropriate car, it cannot be started. Ours can start and take off without special vehicles.
The F-15 chassis requires a good airfield. Ours (at least Su-34 and MiG29) can land and take off from the ground.
Among the features of our combat aircraft in relation to Western (and American, including), they have polycarbonate cockpit lights, we have glass ones. This is not a plus or a minus, just a difference.

[yehat2]

it's actually hard to compete in the nomenclature for hitting the ground with a country that has bombed more in Vietnam alone than all of them combined in ww2
I'm not even talking about the difference in the number of carriers and the use of high-precision ammunition.
True, I am amazed at the tenacity of our headquarters, which is actively sharpening the Air Force to use unguided munitions. The Americans put a radio blast on anti-aircraft guns in 43,
70 years later, we only dream about this on armored vehicles and watch it at exhibitions.
so what is there to be surprised ...

[fa2998]

Our excellent fighter La-5, made on the basis of the old LaGG, only with an air-cooled engine. Stalin wrote orders and awards.
The F-15 is an excellent fighter, it has been flying for another 30 years. Comparing it with the F-35, they have different functions.

[MMX]

It's not entirely clear, but what about the 5th generation?
Progressive-minded people here on the site have repeatedly written that the 5th generation rules, and the 4th to the dustbin of history. Caustically ironic about the Russian plus signs after the four ...
And here on those "new 4th", but correct, Western.
It's different, you need to understand (s)

We have relied on precise sights so that ordinary cast iron can be laid with an accuracy comparable to adjustable ones. Destroying single targets is one task, covering an area with a fixed enemy (trenches, dugouts) is completely different. Focusing only on precision weapons is stupidity.

[Cowbra]

A bit of a goof kid)))

The US Audit Office has once again reported to Congress about the problems with the fifth generation F-35 Lightning fighters. This time, it turned out that upgrading the aircraft to the Block IV version would require almost two billion more dollars. Not only that, no one put such expenses into the budget - now the deadlines for the delivery of the project have been shifted by at least a year.
//
I must say that The F-35 is still at the stage of experimental combat operation. In fact, testing continues. However, in the spring of last year, this work was suspended. According to the official version, due to the coronavirus pandemic. Also mass production was postponed indefinitely.

And then the sect always told that it was adopted and mass-produced. True, they were always ashamed to answer - where and when the military tests were passed. Because they failed) And that's exactly why Fat Drystun is released in pre-production batches
