"We need increased combat resistance of fighters": the US Air Force on the consequences of the appearance of new missiles from the PRC and the Russian Federation

In combat aviation The United States is concerned about the emergence of a number of new means of destruction of air targets from potential adversaries. For example, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Air Force Samuel Clinton Hinout believes that in the face of renewal of enemy arsenals, "increased combat resistance of American fighters is needed."

As noted in the IISS edition, we are talking about "threat drivers" - specific missile defense systems of Chinese and Russian design, the creation of which caused negative consequences for the combat stability of the US Air Force.

So, the PRC acquired a combination of a Chengdu J-20 fighter and a long-range missile (over 200 km) PL-15 (CH-AA-10), equipped with a seeker with AFAR. The equipment of the 9th and 1st brigades of the PLA Air Force J-20 is already underway; according to the Pentagon, up to six air brigades can be re-equipped with this type of aircraft by 2025.

In addition, China is working on a missile that is expected to receive the designation PL-16, which has the same characteristics as the PL-15, but allows six rather than four missile launchers to be placed in the internal compartment of the J-20.

Russia, albeit belatedly, is also upgrading its weapons with missiles such as the R-77-1 (RS-AA-12B) and K-77M (RS-AA-X-12C), which are still in development.

- indicated in the IISS, explaining that "the equipment of the missiles, the range of their destruction and, in a broader sense, the combat resistance of fighters - all this is a determining factor in the development of a new aircraft for tactical aviation of the United States."

Damn, you seriously don’t understand that leapfrog with tanks is due to the number of their manufacturers (Kharkov, Leningrad, UVZ). Look at how many types of fighters the states have (F-16, F-15, F-18, F-22, F-35, I'm not talking about all sorts of Harriers). Why is that? Do you think the F-16 could not be adapted to the deck? Yes, the same thing: everyone does his own thing.

[mvg]

Yes, the same: everyone does his own thing.

But we have 3-4 factories, and the options for SU's and MiGs to hell ..., in no other country there are so many. And, by the way, there is so much Abrashek in "storage" that it is enough to sell it for export, why do they need the plant? On kraynyak Ebipet corps will do. And the light ones will stuff them with the most "I don't want"
PS: By the way, McDonnell Douglas produces both F-15 and F-18. Somehow it does not fit with your statements. And for Kharkiv, Leningrad and the Urals, too ... they simply pulled the blanket over themselves, with a normal order "from above" they would release all T-72s on a V-46 diesel

[Zaurbek]

For good ... it was necessary to choose the manufacturer of the Moving Part and the manufacturer of the BM with the weapon ... And all the forces (to throw money on improving the diesel engine)

[abc_alex]

Have chosen. Kharkov. But Morozov did something that even his plant could not cope with. At UVZ it was a "serial" design bureau, it adapts exactly what to production, and does not do from scratch.
It's the same with a diesel engine. The T-64 was configured only for a boxer diesel engine, and it could only be made in Kharkov. Bad, but they could. In other factories, no. The tank was needed, but there were no motors for it.
The T-72 was originally a T-64 with a different engine, and the T-80 was a T-64 with a turbine. But, as it turned out, the T-64 was simply poorly designed. And during the remotorization, the unsuccessful components and assemblies were replaced. Do you think they should have been left as they were?

[mvg]

This is not true. All three tanks have different hoists, this is the first. Then the engines and transmission - this is the second, then a different automatic loader ... and the tower, not to mention the FCS ..
Who told you that the T-64 is poorly designed? Where did you read such a thing?

that's not the case. All three tanks have different hoists, this is the first. Then the engines and transmission - this is the second, then a different automatic loader ... and the tower, not to mention the FCS ..

So.
The history of the T-72 began when it became clear that Kharkov was struggling to cope with peacetime supply plans and was simply not able to increase production volumes. In addition, there were complaints about the motor. It was decided to create a "mobilization" tank with a classic diesel engine on the basis of the T-64. We gave it to UVZ. There he looked at the T-64 sample, gasped and ... gasped again. :) And they remade the whole car to hell for the needs of large-scale production and a real war. And they started, as you rightly noted, with the chassis. We threw a half-torsion to hell and further down the list. When we had finished with the "technology" of the chassis, they set to work on the tower. Replaced the automatic loader.

Roughly the same story was with the T-80. Initially, the same problem - Kharkov's failure to supply the car and motor. In Leningrad, they took a serial T-64, installed a turbine and realized that Morozov's inventions were going to hell. And again, starting with the chassis, the tank was altered.
The fundamental difference was that the Urals made a cheap version, and therefore their sighting system was "minimally sufficient", and the Leningraders were a full-fledged replacement for the T-64. Therefore, their electronics were better.

Quote: mvg

Who told you that the T-64 is poorly designed? Where did you read such a thing?

Yes, full of where I read it. The chassis was changed for a reason in the T-72 and T-80 versions. And it was not just that they could not produce it in normal quantities. If you tell me now that it was a terrible high-tech for its time, I will agree.

[mvg]

In my understanding, the T-64 was just corny more expensive, but no worse than the T-72 of earlier versions. Even now Bulat looks more interesting than the T-72B3 mod 16. And on VO there was an article about it.
By the way, the T-64 was not exported, in contrast to 40 thousand pieces of T-72 produced with the lion's share of the export part

He was not technologically advanced. He had a lot of controversial solutions, a problematic engine, and if it had not been Morozov's brainchild, most likely, he would never have gone into the series.

The T-64 was not exported, of course. It was not enough for the SA. Initially, it was planned to equip the tank units of the SA in BE. But it turned out that Kharkov is simply not able to ensure the planned production of the car, and serial cars suffer from a whole bunch of childhood diseases. After sinking with the T-64 in Europe for some time, they began to replace it with the T-80.

And the T-72 was originally a "mobilization" simplified, sharpened for production in wartime conditions. A full replacement for the T-64 would be the T-80.

[Zaurbek]

In my opinion, it is necessary to produce a "trolley and diesel" T72 .....

Googling who and where produced M1 and M60 is a matter of 1 minute, it's easier for a patriot to stick out aplomb and write nonsense, I understand.

Do you know, I’ll ask, what does the F-35 not suit you?

As far as I understood, they have two ways:
1. Book a fighter using Israeli tricks.
2. Place a protective force field on the fighter.
The first is unlikely, the second is impossible, due to the lack of such technology on Earth.
