US military-industrial complex: Deliveries of F-35 fighters will not resume until the investigation into the causes of its failure is completed

James Tyclet, CEO of the American military-industrial corporation (MIC), Lockheed Martin, said that the company is waiting for the completion of an investigation into the causes of the failure of the F-35B fighter-bomber during a test flight in Texas. According to the head of the concern, it is still unclear when the deliveries of these combat aircraft will resume.

At the same time, according to a report conducted by the US military-industrial complex, the amount of net proceeds from the sale of aviation equipment for 2022 amounted to about 27 billion dollars (approximately 1,8 trillion rubles), which is 239 million dollars (about 16,5 billion rubles) more compared to the same period in 2021. As for the total amount of contracts concluded for the supply of fighter aircraft to the army, an increase of $80 million (5,5 billion rubles) and $55 million (3,8 billion rubles), respectively, was registered here. The document also clarifies that this growth was offset by a decline in F-35 sales by $310 million (21,4 billion rubles).

According to preliminary data from the US Navy, which is still investigating the incident, a possible cause of the malfunction of the fifth generation fighter could be high pressure in the fuel system.

Thus, the company managed to complete the delivery of 141 F-35 bombers by the end of last year under contractual obligations with the Pentagon. But what will happen in the future is still a question. As a question, and what nevertheless became the real cause of the incident with the fighter.

The only single-engine aircraft of the 5th generation and the most massive. He has no competitors

Well, that's all? Kina will not be. The penguin was blown away.

[Rusticolus]

Not the 5th generation, but yes, it's massive. The most massive fail. So screw it up, you gotta have the talent.

Award Breakage with the Order of Courage. But something tells me that Lieutenant Polomka did not fulfill the tasks of the Center, and Lockheed Martin factories are preparing to transfer the F-16 for Zelensky's demon

It seems that after the F-15 and Su-27, no one was able to create a really successful aircraft. The situation is somewhat reminiscent of the decline of piston aviation. But then the breakthrough happened because of the turbojet engine. And today there is no such ace up the sleeve.

"They rule" (in demand) not fighters, but fighter-bombers.
F-16 was and remains the most useful. Several thousand produced. In recent years, it is beginning to be replaced by the F-35. About a thousand have been released.

The fighter-bomber died out as a class along with the Panavia Tornado.

It is not entirely clear from the article - are we talking about the supply of F-35 or F-35V?

F-35b, but the article is presented in such a way as to give the impression that the supply of all modifications is being stopped.

There, only a stake stood vertically. All other f-35-A / Cs are also riveted and delivered.

[faterdom]

So what's the breakdown?
Zelensky and Melnyk demand litaki!

The test pilot tried to save the car and died. The signalmen-decoders deciphered the last words through the wheezing of overloads and the crackle of interference as - "Farewell, farewell!". To which the pilot's colleagues reasonably objected, it is impossible to say this, the test pilot is not a "muslin young lady." We listened to it many times and heard - "Rotates, rotates!".
The next pilot knew what he would meet and the designers cured the "childhood illnesses" of a wonderful aircraft.

Manned battlefield aircraft are obsolete, the conflict in Ukraine has clearly shown that the future lies with mass cheap drones. whom it is not a pity to send into battle. Keyword Bulk

Fighters are needed to fight bombers at high altitudes. They are also needed to protect bombers.
