Italy will invest in the development of a British sixth generation fighter

61

Italy will invest in a program to develop a British sixth generation fighter. According to the portal defensenews.com, the Italian Ministry of Defense plans to invest 2 billion euros.

The Italian Defense Ministry disclosed the costs of the sixth generation fighter program. According to a document published by the military, two billion euros are allocated to finance the development. At the same time, Italy will incur the main costs from 2027 to 2035, during this period 1,85 billion euros will be allocated.



Prior to that, Italy will allocate 2021 million euros for the Tempest program in 2022, 2023 and 20, and 2024 million euros from 2026 to 90.

Italy officially joined the British Tempest 2019th generation fighter project in 2019. The statement by the country's defense minister was made at the DSEI XNUMX defense exhibition in London. Sweden joined the program earlier.

The sixth generation multipurpose combat aircraft is being created by TeamTempest, which includes representatives from BAE Systems, Leonardo, Rolls Royce, MBDA, Spirit AeroSystems, as well as the British Air Force. According to the strategy, full-scale funding for the project should be opened in 2025. The initial operational readiness of the fighter is planned for 2035, and by 2040, Tempest is to replace the Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft, which are part of the Royal Air Force.

However, Tempest is not the only European project of the sixth generation fighter, another development is being carried out by Germany and France and Spain, which has joined them. Aviation complex of the sixth generation FCAS (Future Combat Air System) should go into mass production also in 2040.

      I read your comments and I remembered anecdote.

      Observation deck at the university. There the bikers gather.
      Another party.
      In one direction, these real guys are bearded, respectable. Harleys stand in a row glistening with chrome, all one to one. The guys are standing calmly, they are rubbing something of their own. Everything is so calm, noble, solid ...
      On the other side are the guys in sports. Whack-whack, here and there, they constantly run around, screech, willys, etc., then they will drive off to the store, then they will come like a bee hive, in short.
      Then one of them flies up to the guys, stop, smoke from under the wheels ... And asks:
      - Guys! Why don't you ever get to know us?
      Uncle calmly spitting to the side:
      - Why get to know you? .. YOU ARE NEW EVERY YEAR ...

        Why not. Demonstration flight of the Su-57 with the Hunter - This is the sixth generation in my opinion.
        Surprisingly, the Americans shot a film in the last century, how their idea knocks all the Su-37 over North Korea. And here on you. Of course, the public display is not yet weapons, but it looks impressive.

          You can't even imagine how close you are to the truth, but ... on a primitive level ... To talk about planes 5 and 6, you need to know what they are for? Ask anyone on the forum this question, and ... you will not get a single intelligible answer !!! Moreover, the military will not answer this question! This is the case when the plane is, and what to do with it, almost no one knows! In the US, the military lobby is strong, and the interests of corporations are honored and loved by their money, so they rivet this "miracle" and shove everyone for a lot of money ... In Russia, in addition to prestige, they try to answer the question: "What the hell are they needed?" ... and do not find the answer, so they slow down the production of their miracle!

Modern generals are no longer Kutuzovs and not Suvorovs, nothing depends on them in modern warfare, but they do not understand this and are rowing everything for themselves, as it was in the past ... This time has passed. .. The leadership should provide all the necessary units on the ground and teach them how to win ... Modern war is won in real time, and this does not imply late decisions and commands from above ... There is simply no time for this ... And these leaders They have not yet understood this, they are building an outdated model of a multi-level belated general's leadership, which does not work and dooms to defeat at the tactical level without nuclear weapons and super missiles ...

      It is difficult to say why Italy needs a 6th generation fighter in almost the center of Europe.
      She will not be allowed to buy Russian planes, regardless of price and quality, and the Europeans most likely will not be able to afford the development. They will continue to buy aircraft in the United States, producing them in cooperation.

            The new engine for the fighter should have 3 modes:
            1) economy mode at transonic speed 0.8- 0.95 MAX.
            This speed is optimal for hitting the ground. The mode is embodied in the F-35.
            2) cruising supersonic at 1.2 -1.5 MAX. Good for aerial combat
            at medium long distance. The regime is embodied in the Su-35, Su-57, F-22.
            3) supersonic in ramjet mode of the same engine 2.3 - 3 MAX.
            For interceptions, breakthroughs deep into the territory, etc.

            So far, the British have advanced the farthest in such a 3-position engine.
            They have a working prototype. But is it compact and light enough
            for a fighter?

Except that NGAD has already taken off, so it's not a fact that RR is a clear leader. I don't think Snecma is sitting idle either. All of them managed to achieve a super cruise on the fighters in which they stand, but fully comparing the EF / Rafale with the F-22/35 is difficult, the difference in generations makes itself felt.
              After the end of XB, the most interesting period, the race for the 6th generation, between 4 players: France / Germany, England / Italy, USA, Japan. New players appeared in the 5th generation Turkey and South Korea. India also wants, but there is a lot of skepticism towards them.
