In the USA: Turkey's exclusion from the F-35 program will make these fighters even more expensive

78

The cost of engines for F-35 aircraft will rise by at least three percent due to the replacement of Turkish-made parts with components from other manufacturers. Thus, the exclusion of Turkey from the F-35 program will make these fighters even more expensive. Recall that the other day the United States confirmed the fact of the final exclusion of Ankara from the aforementioned program to create a new generation fighter.

According to the American edition of Defense News, this was stated by the head of the military engines division of Pratt & Whitney, Matthew Bromberg, during a hearing in the Committee on the Armed Forces of the House of Representatives of the US Congress.



According to him, the design of the F135 engine produced by the company, which is installed on all three variants of the Lockheed Martin F-35 joint strike fighter, initially included 188 parts produced by Turkish enterprises.

These are some of the most important parts of the engine and the Turkish parts were high quality and inexpensive.

- he said.

Bromberg said 75 percent of these could already be sourced from other manufacturers, most of which are in the United States. Pratt & Whitney expects the remaining 25 percent of Turkish production parts to be replaced by the end of 2021.


According to the head of the Lockheed Martin aeronautics programs Greg Ulmer, the Pentagon had previously hoped to withdraw all Turkish suppliers from the program by 2020, but it turned out that it would be necessary to wait until 2022 until the contracts with them expire.

      The Pentagon had hoped to remove all Turkish suppliers from the program by 2020, but it turned out that it would have to wait until 2022. until their contracts expire.
      So it's just that the contracts won't be renewed. During this time, the production can be loaded. It is not known how long they are going to release this "penguin". Maybe by the 22nd year they decided to stop the release, and the Turks are not needed anyway, but the waves just drove in the right direction.

              Of course it is! bully In this regard, the American program for the creation, production and operation of the F35 is much more open, public. This is inherently pragmatic, as the American shows potential buyers that they are working to fix the problem. When the buyer is aware of flaws and defects, he is more inclined to trust the seller. And when the manufacturer is silent and only praises his product, it is alarming ... it cannot be so! request

              I will even repeat them so that you do not get confused anymore
              1. There are more and more customers every year because this aircraft is the best in its class, or is it because it is the only one in its class?
              2. What are the alternative proposals?

                "Do you still have offers of aircraft with similar characteristics on the market?"

                In response, I gave you one of the characteristics of the F-35, which today
                unique.
                That is, the answer is: "No. There are no offers on the market by aircraft with similar
                characteristics ".

                I'm not talking about the F-35B version. There is no analogue of this vertical aircraft on the market.
                Everyone who builds light aircraft carriers (or removes the UDC) orders it.

                  So, after all, every year there are more and more clients not because this plane is so beautiful (how many shortcomings did it have there?), But because there is nothing else.
                  Do you want a fifth generation? Buy F-35. And it's all. In such a fierce competition with other applicants, I won that it takes my breath away! But wait ... There are no others.

                      This is what I was trying to convey to you. There is no point in singing the praises of the F-35, since it is the only representative of its class available to NATO countries, so for them it cannot be good or bad, it is alone, as it is. With all the advantages and disadvantages. There is no other and will not be in the foreseeable future. This is the only reason why the queue is being built, and not for any other reason.

                        I apologize for interfering in your dialogue with Alexei. He seemed interesting to me! good But in your last reasoning, it seems to me, you are making a mistake! Conditionally the 5th generation, in theory, has higher complex characteristics than the 4th, as well as the 4th than the 3rd. It is the same with the F35 as with the Russian Su-57. Of course, there is a controversy whether this product / Lighting / is really superior to the previous generation, but the controversy is normal when the designer takes a step ahead. You are probably sure that the Su-57 is superior to the previous models! And the market is the market, where the new 5th generation competes with the 4th, and so it will be until it completely replaces it. This process will be long, airplanes are very expensive equipment, but one way or another, progress and technologies do not sit in one place. The F35 is ahead of the others, but they are coming soon. In the store, you buy the latest TVs, smartphones, etc. if you can afford them, despite the fact that the previous models are still on sale! Okay, huh? hi

                You see, Israel cannot be wrong.
                Once you make a mistake with the choice of strategic weapons and the Arabs with Persians from all sides will run in. Overwhelmed and gnawed.

                I'm not a specialist in f35 in any way, but I suspect that Israel takes it not because of beautiful eyes.

                And if he has serious problems, they will finish the files and make candy.
                Various upgrades have already been made.

                  certainly not for beautiful eyes! against the Arabs, its capabilities are quite impressive. after all, this is an aircraft of the beginning of this century, and the air defense of the Arabs at the end of the past, both structurally and physically. also let's not forget that this is a large commercial project ... and so that the Jews do not fit into it and do not get a gesheft?!? belay wassat

      This is understandable and predictable. But should we be in sorrow?

      This fact once again shows that US military-technical cooperation is based on the requirements of political loyalty and economic subordination. That is, buyers are forced to act on orders and pay what they say ...

      Unlike Russia, where each state (well, there are restrictions, of course - on the range of products and not outright enemies) can acquire weapons without additional obligations of the "unwritten moral code of the builders of democracy" ...
      And this contrast plays into our hands in reputation. This policy builds trust.
      Even China is using its shipments to drag customers into economic bondage, which not all buyers like.

    This is what I understand - capitalism in all its glory. "Ally" is kicked out of the program for not buying American air defense systems, as it is also reported that the plane will become more expensive because of this. How do I understand a dissatisfied buyer should make a claim to Turkey?

      In fact, a lot of things. Replacing them is not easy. They will quietly renew contracts, no one needs an increase in prices for the F-35. There are also plans to upgrade, which in itself will raise the cost of fighters.

        Yes, no one excluded Turkey from the F35 program. Just multi-step NATO games to get the S-400 and SU-57 in the future. Multi-turn and gracefully executed game while you play. Sorry to be rude, but it's true.

    Of course the F-35 is both lousy and expensive ...
    But that's bad luck - 625 units have already become winged in eight armies of the world, these fighters are deployed at 26 bases, aircraft carriers and UDC. More than 1200 pilots have been trained in piloting, over 10 personnel have been trained. The total flight time exceeded 000 hours. Childhood illnesses are identified and gradually treated. Without Turkish pomies ... details, apparently, will do. So, not everything is as bad as they are trying to present to us here on the pages of VO.
    Of course, it would be nice to entertain the hearts of the local community with stories about the best fighter of all times and peoples, the Su-57, but something has already been four months, after the release one single serial unit, no guogu about him. Or am I missing something? hi

        Why be ashamed of it? Armaments are sharpened in everything on the alleged enemy, which the United States considers for itself the Russian Federation.
        F-35s in Syria have been run in and tested. What more could you want?
        Wake up, my dear, Israel is 73 years old (it's like for the USSR in 1990. Another year, and the USSR will disintegrate completely.), This is a quite prosperous state that has turned the desert into a garden of paradise, with a long life expectancy, with a strong army, excellent medicine, powerful high-tech and military industry, with $ 100 billion in exports.

        As for the Mig-s, then you, my dear, can only hum a song to the tune of "Katyusha" beginning with the words:
        Our Mig flew over Tel Aviv,
        Years already, like fifty ago ...

        There will be no "repetitions", do not flatter yourself and do not build vain hopes.

      what's new? all this has already been seen in the history of the AR-15, and how a crude imperfection is taken into service thanks to lobbyists, and how everyone who needs it and everyone who needs it is taken in by the fact that there are no options ... but so yes! effective managers grow! the plane will be steeper than the rifle.
