The first ground tests of the gun mounted on the F-35

The US Air Force for the first time conducted tests of the 25-mm GAU-22 / A cannon mounted on the latest F-35A Lightning II fighter, reports RIA News with reference to the website of the Air Force.

The first ground tests of the gun mounted on the F-35


The tests began on June 9, and their completion is scheduled for August.

Judging by the video posted on the network, the fighter was on the ground with inoperative engines during test firing. Specialists had to use special software to "deceive" the onboard equipment and create the illusion of being in the air.

“Unlike the F-35 models developed for the Navy and Marine Corps, in the sample for the Air Force, the gun is built into the body of the aircraft and is located behind the anti-radar envelope. Ground tests are designed to identify the correctness of opening the valves hiding the gun, and the work of ventilation, ”explained the agency.

The agency recalls that the Pentagon intends to spend $ 35 billion on the development of the F-391 project. Now, one plane costs about $ 160 million. However, experts say that this is not the limit - its price increases as all new technical problems are detected, over time delays. Earlier it was reported that the project is already seven years behind schedule.

      The price of F-35 is constantly growing, F-35 lost the training battle to its predecessor F-15, the project is seven years behind schedule. Such news is really encouraging. We look forward to the T-50 series.

          f-twenty second ones have already been prepared for the t-50, and 35 is the development of the BSU theory + the development of technologies and the theory of battle swarm. So, the Americans still have to catch up and catch up with us in the manufacture and tactics of application. Is it not ..?

            They have one tactic. No direct battle. The point is painfully narrow.

              Pay attention to the flagrant incompetence of American designers: the gun is nothing, 25mm, and it took as much to put the 4 of the barrel and the electric motor to turn them. We have single-barreled aircraft on all planes (4-5-6 has less weight, + no engines), and 30mm.

                  We have single-barrel on all airplanes (4-5-6 times less weight, + no engines), and even 30mm.

                  Well, we don’t have single-barrel on all planes. GSh-30-2 double-barreled on the Su-25, GSh-6-23 six-barreled on the Su-24 and on the MiG-31.
                  So the elephant will not fly far.
                  Designers have a choice, and if they put single-barrel VPUs on new types, then this is not from the lack of multi-barrel, but based on the tactics of combat use of aircraft.

                    He does not need far (see above). Su-25, Su-24 and MiG-31 can not conduct a maneuverable battle. And on the MiG-29 and Su-27 it’s a single-barrel GMO, which fires only 1500 against 6600 rounds / min for the F-15 and F-22, and you need to shake on each shell.
                    If, in a duel situation, the Su-27 will fall down even if it goes right behind the tail, then in a group battle from a multi-barrel it will even be easily cut off from afar by an American slave.
                    And in the MiG-29, in general, from a shot from this gun, the avionics breakdown and it goes cracked. wassat

                      In fact, the time of cannon duels is long over. For close maneuverable combat there is R-73, r-60.
                      A gun is needed to work on balls where rockets are powerless.
                      Probably, based on this, the designers do not put gsh-6-23 with a firing rate of 10 shots for drying and twinkling.

                        New views through old crevices? URO is removed by interference, blinded, and quickly ends. Every second battle goes into close combat (sometimes opponents firing long-range missiles just disperse), every second downed plane in it - gets off with a cannon.
                        Thus, at least a quarter of the cannon is knocked down and the pilot will not be caught by the fact that he will not be unarmed.
                        The rate of fire is multi-barreled, the upper number is indicated.
                        No, it was just that "perestroika" had already begun. The designer's cannon is set as they will be told ...

                        So far I have paid attention only to your incompetence. 25 guns in modern supersonic aviation is quite enough, the aircraft have no real armor, and against armored vehicles there is much more effective weaponry. 4 barrels have a good balance of accuracy and rate of fire, multi-barrel machine guns need extraneous dispersal, in the United States they use an electric motor that puts the gun into combat position and supports it before firing, we use a squib for this purpose (the first 10 shells are single, only after firing which begins shooting combat).

                        Not any and not always. From MANPADS terrorists on Israeli passenger airliners as never once hit. Even in Africa, where tunnels do not need to beat.

                        The gun on the MiGs and Su is clearly not even 25mm and especially not 20, like on the F-15 and F-22.
                        F-35 and AV-8B need 25mm to work on the ground, when from above it is enough sub-caliber from it on the tank. They even fired from a Bradley into the side of a tank are dangerous.
                        The Americans are not pulled by aerobatics, which means that the Russians should not give a shit like in Korea with weapons. Therefore, not a single American / Western pilot-contractor will sit on the MiG-29 (although they are happy with its aerobatics). South African men on the MiG-23 transplanted.
                        And no one asks Russian pilots and designers ... on the contrary, they are taught the wrong thing at schools. From the category of "cannonlochshepulemetaf", "aircraft carriers is a weapon of aggression", "nashsilanasushe" and the like cranberries in sugar ... wassat

                      How many of you have spent 20 years on developing some kind of super-stuff, spent more than 50 of other people's billion dollars on this, promised to spend another 400 billion dollars, in the end got full crap, but I was able to give the client as many 150 pieces of this crap price over 160 million dollars? And so that the client is also satisfied? If someone's actions seem idiotic to you, this does not mean that this is someone else. So stop considering Lockheed Martin and the US Air Force idiots. If a stealth plane needed a gun, then that’s wise. If it was installed near the air intake - it means, and this is reasonable. If it was tested only on the earth, that means, and this is reasonable.
                      In the end, the F-35 still can't fly. And 150 units have already been transferred to the US Air Force airfields. It is quite logical to use these products at least for the protection of the airfield. Ride the runway back and forth, scare off terrorists. Therefore, the cannon was installed only in the "land" versions of the aircraft - there is no need to protect the runway of an aircraft carrier from terrorists.

                        Not quite so - everything was bought in Russia for 500 thousand dollars (Yak-141). Then, in addition, they used ready-made technologies from other machines (for example, stealth with the F-22. Fan from the XV-5 of 1964). One and a half trillion - in your pocket.
                        He can fly though hellishly. All the same, frolic than subsonic F / A-117.

Russia needs to protect its territories and it is developing the means of aerospace defense, in which the Americans still have to catch up and catch up with us, and just in case, for the theorists of the battle swarm, there is also an increase in the combat capabilities of the strategic nuclear forces.

                The aerospace defense is not quite true - this is aerospace defense. It combines air defense, missile defense, and air defense systems, exercises control of air and outer space, and parries threats from outer and air space.
                And as to what the Americans are to catch up with us, I’ll answer: First, the United States does not have air defense forces in principle, they are still being created, and secondly, our air defense / missile defense systems, S-300, S-400, A-135, Today is the most advanced.

                    Well, the S-300 is already outdated, the S-400, according to official sources, is the best system at the moment in its "class", but I don't see anything unattainable here; The A-135 is already a rather old system and its missiles also had (or are) an analogue in the United States, namely interception due to a nuclear explosion, but we have no analogues of the SM-3 yet!

                    Of course, there are analogs, but the parameters are worse, and in the SM-3 system, I also don’t see anything inaccessible to us.

                      This is not a matter of faith (this is please not religious sites: the sect of believers in the Su-27 against a similar sect F-22 / F-35).
                      I don't think you saw the forest behind the trees. The F-35 is an excellent aviation complex. He took his place in the US weapons system. Therefore, the "head-on" comparison with the Su-35 is not correct.
                      Uvlo created 3 aircraft of a high degree of unification (for the Air Force, for the Navy, for the ILC). The capabilities of the F-35 as a fighter are mediocre enough, but they are sufficient not to carry escort. But the possibilities of working on the ground and breaking through air defense are quite large. Can the Su-35 play the role of an air defense breakout / suppression machine? I think that with his EPR (front-to-bottom angle) 25m - unlikely.

              After Vietnam, the removal of a gun from a fighter in the US Air Force will not be understood. So you need to experience. This is the first. And secondly, a cannon on an airplane can come in handy for a lot of things. Shoot at the rate - force landing. Supporting infantry by shooting at buildings / lightly armored vehicles is cheaper than spending missiles. For small ships for example. Dogfight with guns is not seriously considered even in our Air Force.

                  4th generation nozzles as well as 5th aerodynamics affect the dogfight much more than the rate of fire and caliber of guns. Despite their gatling, Americans constantly emphasize that the BVB does not interest them.

                      You and I have already debated on this topic - since then little has changed. I still can not imagine the close group battle with guns on the Su-27, T-50 / F-15,22. I fully admit that it’s not right, and in a mass mess after the AWACS shot down, that’s how it will be.

                        The attack aircraft has a less rapid-fire and a larger caliber. With what fighter is the same caliber and less rapid-fire?

                        Every second battle goes into a close one in which guns are used, the shells of which you can’t put in interference.

                    Critical is the fact and place of impact and not the caliber. Here, admittedly, gatling is really preferable. The modern fighter is wonderfully sewn that 20 that 30 mm.

                    Kalash is not an example here. Highly maneuverable planes are not so easy to hit - you need to get more! And for a confident defeat, you need a high rate of fire. The developers of aircraft machine guns in the last century knew this!

          Judging by the video posted on the network, the fighter was on the ground with inoperative engines during test firing. Specialists had to use special software to "deceive" the onboard equipment and create the illusion of being in the air.
          The author from the video watched suggested that the specialists downloaded the programs and tricked the on-board equipment to simulate a flight and the line below that sent the text to full abstraction:

      I must tell the truth. Yes, Genghis Khan seemed to kill and do everything right, because such a law is right, good, wonderful life. But you saw him from the side that you don’t notice at that time in the civilized West: there were flogging, absolutely terrible executions, hundreds of thousands of people were burned there. Genghis Khan - terrible, Western culture - exemplary of the same period. She was about the same. And then it is necessary to rehabilitate in general everything that civilization, notice, in the modern era, threw modernity from the ship.

      It is necessary to protect Asia, it is necessary to protect yellow.
      Need to protect
      - Latin America with its unique experience.
      - Islamic world, Islamic caliphate. The Islamic caliphate is wonderful.
      - Black African societies are beautiful.
      - Chinese civilization - you can’t imagine a better way.
      - The Indian world is a model.
      - Samurai Japan is an example to follow.
      - Russian tsars - there is no one more humane and more beautiful.

      And all the argument must be rebuilt. Because we must discard the civilizational racism of the West and Eurocentrism. We are the people of Asia, we are the people of Eurasia, the people of India. And we must stop striving for some goal that does not follow from our culture. Why should we be Europeans? What the hell are they for? Let them look at themselves already. They have completely degenerated and still offer us to follow ourselves.

                This one bomb still needs to be delivered and dropped. But the most important thing is to ensure the guidance of this smart bomb. Which is carried out either by exact coordinates, or by laser illumination from the ground or air. As you know, these are also considerable resources that must be used.
                However, for an adversary who does not have good air defense, this is really the case.
                less than a dozen during the air defense breakthrough, dodging missiles.

                Where did you see this and when? Upon detection of an object protected by good air defense, they first knock out air defense missiles, and then they destroy the object itself. And not bombs are used, but cruise and tactical missiles. Moreover, all radars in the district are knocked out with anti-radar missiles.
                And only then .. in the clear sky, at night there is some sort of F-117A, in radio silence mode, so that without interference, just put one bomb in the desired object. Doesn’t resemble anything?

              All 5th-generation aircraft have small ammunition for internal compartments. But continuing the proposed analogy (which, of course, is only remotely close to a real battle) - is it much easier for the pilot that there were still 4 missiles in his downed 8th generation?

                  That is, our sworn friends. And they are doing everything in their power to cause dissatisfaction of our people with their country.
                  For themselves, they naturally do not allow this.
                  In 1883, John Swinton, editor-in-chief of the New York Times, in response to a request to propose a toast to the independent press, said: “There is no such thing as an independent press in the history of the world today. You know this, and I I know that. There is no one among us who would dare to express his personal opinion in print, and if he dared, knowing that it would never be published. I get paid every week to keep my personal opinion at You are also paid money for similar things, and if any of you is stupid enough to print your personal opinion, he will immediately find himself on the street in search of a new job. If I allowed myself to publish my opinion in the newspaper, then in less than a day, he would have been out of work, or, which is quite likely, would have been simply killed.

                  The job of a journalist is to hide the truth, to outright lie, to distort the facts, to slander, to suck up to a monster in order to sell this country in order to feed him. You know this, and I know it. What the hell is a toast to the independent press? We are the tools and vassals of the rich behind the scenes. We are puppets: they pull the strings, and we dance. Our talents, our opportunities and our lives are the property of others. We are intellectual prostitutes, whores. Nobody else!"

            10 shells in one place? 25 mm ?? What armor do you want to penetrate? On planes in most of their armor NO! The most vulnerable areas of the aircraft are the wing and plumage planes. Well, there will come 10 shells, well, make a neat hole, so what? On the contrary, it is necessary that the damage be the most extensive and preferably in different places.

      so why put a quick-fire six-barrel with an ammunition of 240 shells

      On versions of the MiG-29, after evaluating the accuracy of firing from a cannon, the ammunition was reduced to 100 shells. To hit an air target, 2-3 shells were enough. The initial ammunition of 120 pieces was redundant.

        On the MIG-29 single-barrel gun. Actually, I asked why shove the six-barrel, when the single-barrel copes well. Moreover, with almost the same rate of fire. Or does the USA not have such a gun? Gryazev and Shipunov together made all of American industry?
        2-3 shells were enough to hit an air target.

        They still need to get. In general, the Gatling scheme was designed to conduct massive fire over a small area. Accuracy was in the background.
        Therefore, the question arose: F-35 with this gun what, plan to replace the A-10?

          A maneuvering aerial target is struck by a "shot sheaf offhand", cutting off on the aisle, and not single when shooting at a shooting range from a prone position, so covering it with a slightly smeared frequent burst of gatling is much better.

          20mm (F-15 and F-22 gun) is enough for any tactical air target. 25mm on the F-35 indicates that it is larger on the ground.

          That 30mm quick-fire (1500 rounds / min) GMO with scanty ammunition that was shoved on the MiG-29 and Su-27 is only for tanks, or for Boeing (as on the Su-25).
          In the MiG-29, from its recoil, not only avionics are strewed, but in general it itself is cracked.
          At least MiG-23 was at least 23mm with 3000—3400 rds / min.

    As with any aircraft cannon (including ours), fixed bursts are probably used, for example, 25 rounds each. It's just that with such a rate of fire, the line will not be 25 separate shells, but like a line, "Epee", with a minimum spread

      Clear. But again, the cost of the 6-barrel gun is much greater than our one or double-barreled gun. Somehow does not fit. A plane is always a compromise. And then they put a heavy gun, with a high rate of fire and small ammunition.
      but as if a line, "Epee", with a minimum spread

      Doubtful. This is not a tank, the speeds are decent. It will be rather "cut scrap", several meters long. How effective is it against aircraft? Or like that, on the sly of an F-35, they make a stealth attack aircraft?

        I am not from Israel, but I want to note that the F-35 is a very good aircraft, and if you do not take into account the VTOL version, it is even very good. With cool radar and electronics. We have to adopt a number of decisions on LFI if it will be at all. So it was with the F-22, which everyone branded as sucks, until the T-50 rolled out with the same concept. Then the F-22 began to scold only for the price.

            Finally, the fleet, army and marine corps of the same type. * Although the marinos still showed off what they sucked the whole program.

            Finished dviglo from the 22nd, which is already ahead of the rest. Our product is still 30 at least 5 years to be developed and tested. * The truth is only one. This is still a jamb.

            Fantastic electronics. The future is near. On a combat aircraft touchscreen widescreen display and voice control. After 20 years in all planes of the world. You can ironize as much as you like, but the Americans introduced the existing cabin with two main displays and auxiliary ones, and we repeated it. And she, too, was mercilessly criticized.

            In addition to the previous paragraph - a complex of radar and target designation. AFAR, a transparent plane, the detection of all that is possible and guidance on this by turning the head in a radius of 360 degrees. In our patriotic circles, it is generally accepted that AFAR is not such a necessary thing, but it will not be finished for the T-50 yet. A helmet is considered expensive, too fancy and redundant. Apparently, until we begin to do our own.

            I am very interested in aviation, so much so that I work in it. The F-35 is a very ambitious, expensive and by no means perfect airplane. I could continue to list these virtues, but is this useless truth? After all, you have already decided everything for yourself -

    The rate of fire of our gun GSh-6-23M is 9000 rounds per minute or 150 per second. Ammunition - 260 rounds. She shoots all this stuff in 1,7 seconds

    The rate of fire of our gun GSh-6-30 is 6000 rounds per minute, respectively 100 rounds per second. BK - 300 rounds. All this fires in 3 seconds.

    But when the rate of fire is 55 rounds / sec and the BC shoots in 4 seconds, we ask the question - FUCK is she needed

    So I would like to get an answer from comrades, but do we need similar guns? Or is an American gun not needed on an airplane just because it is American?

    they "taught" how to shoot the cannon. It remained for a little, so that the shells flew at the target. Only now I'm afraid that the plane in the air when firing from the cannon may fall apart from the vibration of the glider.

    Well, after all, other planes do not fall apart

      The rate of fire of our gun

      You somehow forget where these guns were installed - to interceptors and bombers: MIG-31, Su-24, MIG-21 / 23 / 27, Su-7 / 17. We recall what year of production these aircraft are, we conclude. Moreover, installing it more than once led to problems after application. The chassis wings stuck, the on-board equipment was disconnected, etc. The long line was generally contraindicated, as threatened with overheating and explosion. Airplanes during landing crashed due to deformation and breakdown of the units, which in turn were deformed and broken due to the large vibration from the gun.
      And now we look at what guns they put on modern Russian fighters. Oppaa .. for some reason, single-barrel.

      And then ... a brand new plane. Built almost half out of composites. And they stick this fool again with a second volley in half a ton. They don’t have single barrels?

        Because, as in Korea, they didn’t give a shit about weapons ... the rate of fire is even less than that of the MiG-15!
        The rate of fire of a rapid-fire gun is easily adjustable in the direction of its decrease, but not vice versa.

    That’s what I don’t understand, why put a quick-fire six-barrel with ammunition in 240 shells? A couple of lines and all? There are few missiles, few shells, one electronics. Some kind of trimmed plane. Are Americans really betting on stealth and surprise?

    Well, this is not an attack aircraft to pour shells on enemy columns. In a maneuvering battle, the target (more specifically, the place with a lead, where the shells and the enemy will meet) lasts a split second. And a half-second burst sends 27-28 shells to "meet". 1-3 rounds are enough. In most fighters, the ammunition is limited to 200-300 rounds. Maybe more or less, but depends on the caliber of the gun. hi

      In almost ordinary F-15 - almost 1000, in F-22 - almost 500
      the time of continuous firing is much longer than that of MiGs and U Sushki, 20mm "saws" often and heap, cartridges can not be saved, it is much easier to hit, each shell of an unarmored target causes almost the same damage as 30mm.

      F-35 costs 25mm, since in particular it is possible to use subcliber uranium shields that sew armored vehicles well.

      The rate of fire is variable: on the ground or on the transporter / AWACS / PLO / bomber 4000, on a maneuvering fighter 6600.

        The MiG-15 was 37mm, but there the muzzle velocity was small, the ammunition was not even called a projectile, but a "grenade" ... and then aimed shots from it at a bomber could be made only 1 or 2.

      It is impossible to integrate new weapon systems and avionics with it.

    You need to check a little what you write about hi


    In February (2015), Israel signed the contract for the procurement of another 14 F-35As in a $ 2.82 billion deal, with a unit cost of about $ 110 million. An option for another 17 aircraft is included in the contract


    I must say right away that you should not divide 2,82 billion into 14 since the contract also includes simulators and more.
