In the United States for the first time flew the newest F-16V

The company Lockheed Martin conducted the first test flight of a new fighter F-16V, reports Look with reference to defense news.

F-16

“This flight marks historical stage in the evolution of the F-16 models. The new F-16V equipment allows you to be in the highest positions of international security and strengthen your position for proven fourth-generation fighter aircraft, ”said Rod MacLean, vice president of the company.

According to the publication, the upgraded fighter "received a new radar APG-83 SABR with an active phased antenna array, significantly improving the ability of the aircraft to detect and hit targets."

The cockpit is equipped with a new instrument panel with a multi-function display. A modernized flight mission management system is installed on board. All systems are connected by high-speed data bus. In addition, the fighter received a new EW system.

According to the developers, "the whole set of improvements can be installed on already operated F-16".

For the first time, the company announced plans to develop the F-16V variant at 2012 at an air show in Singapore.

The newspaper recalls that on Thursday, John McCain expressed a desire to reduce purchases of the expensive F-35 (the Pentagon plans to purchase an 2443 aircraft for the Navy and Marine Corps), since it "doesn’t fit well with the planned budget."

Publication Reference: “The F-16 Fighter was developed in the first half of the 1970's. At the moment, the fighter is in service with the order of 25 countries of the world. In total, over the entire production time of the F-16, more than 4,5 have been produced in thousands of such aircraft. A fighter with a maximum take-off weight of 19,2 tons can reach speeds of up to 2,1 thousand kilometers per hour. "

Well, they’re doing it right. If it is possible to maximize the aging aircraft and if there is a demand for it, then why not ?! I think that the F-16 will serve even at least until 2030.

Lockheed Martin is currently implementing contracts for the supply of 36 F-16C / D Block 52+ aircraft to Iraq, 12 F-16C / D Block 50+ to Oman and 30 F-16E / F Block 61 UAE. Pakistan wants another 8 F-16s. Will Pakistan be given a new modification of V?

Right! Our SU-24 finally manifested itself in Syria, and before that it had not been seen much by anyone. And how many years already, how did he enter service? Near the SU-34, it looks like a dinosaur, but they put in new equipment, guidance systems, and the barmalei scatter in different directions (who managed).

[Vadim237]

Su 24 is still seen, especially 3 reports every year about the crash of these aircraft.

[NIKNN]

This is true :( It was difficult to get an airplane. In the process of testing, few planes had so many losses. Proper modernization and use of the existing fleet is a good way out if the design had the potential for this. It allows us to solve many problems with minimal costs (we are given time to increase the fleet of SU34) but it doesn’t solve all the problems. America has already refused F111 and we will eventually leave Su24, a temporary measure.
With flapping wings a dead end branch. Only the B1 remained in the USA, we have the Su24 and Tu160. The latter I think will be upgraded a couple more times until PAK YES see.

[leon1204id]

But what about the TU-22M3?

[Archon]

how to distinguish Su24 from MiG23 in the sky?
just in Syria there is still a MiG23 and it also has a variable wing geometry

[Sivan]

The MiG-23 has a narrower nose and a long keel (this can be seen from the side). And so, they are really very similar.

Suddenly... 1) In the Afghan War (1979-1989), the Soviet Su-24 was used to a limited extent. They were involved in combat work only during the Panjshir operation of 1984 and the cover of the withdrawal of Soviet troops in 1988-1989. Su-24s were never based in Afghanistan, operating from Soviet air bases in Central Asia. There were no combat losses.

2) Iraqi Su-24s during the Persian Gulf war did not make any sorties and were flown to Iran (appropriating these planes after the end of the war).

3) Aircraft inherited by Azerbaijan were used to a limited extent during the Karabakh war.

4) Uzbek Su-24s participated in the civil war in Tajikistan, one machine was shot down.

5) The most intensive combat use was in Russian aircraft during both Chechen wars. In total, three Su-24s were shot down or crashed in the North Caucasus, and three more were burned at the airfield in preparation for a sortie.

6) Also, the Russian Su-24 was used during the war in South Ossetia in 2008. The official Russian reports of the losses of the Su-24 were not mentioned, however, some experts indicated the loss of two aircraft of this type (see in more detail). In 2012, Lieutenant Colonel Vladimir Bogodukhov, who received the title Hero of Russia for combat missions in South Ossetia, said in an interview with Argumenty i Fakty that during the war one Su-24 was shot down, the crew of the aircraft ejected and landed at the location of Russian troops .

7) One Libyan Su-24 was shot down by rebel fire during the civil war in Libya in 2011.

8) Used by the Ukrainian army during the conflict in the east of the country. According to Ukrainian data, on October 4, 2014 two Su-24Ms were shot down from the ground by fire and one Su-24 was lost as a result of equipment failure.

9) Used by the Syrian Air Force in a civil war. On September 23, 2014, a Patriot rocket shot down a Su-24, which invaded Israel’s airspace 800 meters.

10) 12 Su-24M since September 30, 2015, the Russian Air Force has been involved in Syria to fight against the Islamic State terrorist organization.

The terrible (there is no other word) losses in this conflict are due only to the terrible planning of management and preparation of combat operations (reminds of June 41), it was not worse anywhere. The feeling that general mechanics from the collective farm "40 years without a crop" or stupid people from the madhouse were in command :(

The glider is just in doubt, the Americans had a program to extend the life of the F-16 and it is not cheap - 9,5 million dead presidents on one plane.
This despite the fact that the average age of the F-16 has already exceeded 20 years.
And they still want to put new avionics there, it probably also stands well - half a plane, for the money, it all pulls together for sure.
It turns out that there is no point in carrying out one modernization without another. Looks like striped things are bad, since they decided to shell out so.

They are strange, they take planes from a garbage dump in Arizona and take relatively new F-16s which can be used as donors of spare parts.
And this despite the fact that there are still "Phantoms" from the times of the war in Vietnam are going out, and a bunch of different planes taken out of service.

Not fundamentally, the base is large, a lot of things. About "Phantoms" I turned down, though - the latter, recently, completely, in 2013, were cut into non-ferrous metal.

[kpd]

And there is nothing strange there, the F-16 is equipped with an electronic remote control system, the Phantom is not. So on the F-16 it's just easier to "screw" the flight control unit.

[VeryBravePiggy]

Gentlemen, let me suggest that the F16 will still serve well. With new "brains" and missiles, with an old base (glider). Despite the furious and merciless puffing of cheeks, the heroic Pindoctan is unlikely to unleash a global war with a high-tech adversary such as Russia. And you can also chase monkeys through the jungle and sands without encountering serious resistance on stormtroopers from the Second World War. Plus, to supply banana-technology "latest aircraft" to the banderlog states, having from this a neat gesheft.

An excellent car, developed by the company at its own expense at its own peril and risk as a competitor to the finished VF-17 (future F-18) and ousted the competitor from the Air Force. Had Mikoyan had such an engine at the time, the MiG-29 would have been born single-engine and fate would have been different. Upgrading weapons and electronics, rightly so. How long did we ourselves "squeeze" the modernization reserve out of the MiG-21? "encore" for export was collected in Gorky and in the mid-80s

In my opinion, with F35, they really flew by and are trying to pull it out with the most advanced filling. As an option, trying to sell and justify invested funds may be a way out, but it is not suitable for improvement and modernization. It is necessary to develop a new one with a revised concept.

If the glider has not developed its resource, it is possible to upgrade the fighter virtually to infinity. 4 / + / ++ generation airplanes can be as effective in combat situations as 5th generation airplanes. If you use AWACS aircraft and aircraft with a collective electronic warfare system.
A DRLO plane will detect 100% fighter of the 5th generation and give target designation, the power of the on-board electronic warfare station and radar of a 5th generation fighter is not enough to counteract the DRLO radar and aircraft of an enemy group electronic warfare.

If not, yes. And if it worked out? Plus, the engines also have their own resource, but it is easier to replace them than to strengthen the glider. But both will cost a pretty penny. My post, in fact, was that, apparently, technical problems and the high cost of implementing the F-35 project, makes the Americans start modernizing aircraft, whose average age is 20 years. And the F-22, apparently, did not live up to the hopes placed on them - they released about 200 pieces. that's all. So much for "the world's only serial 5th generation fighter". And this ... To call the modernized F-16 "the latest fighter" is, you see, sheer slyness. Something like this

Finally ... And then there are many supporters of "knightly tournaments" on the forum, relying on the power of the onboard radar, which is used only to clarify the operational situation ...

And what is the MiG-35? Flying prototype for the Hindu tender? So that topic has already been buried for a long time. And the grave is forgotten.

New MiG-35? So this is a boat without UVT, without AFAR, without anything breakthrough, originally called MiG-29M / M2 and sold for export (head showy MiG-35 = head MiG-29M for Syrians until the contract was frozen), for marketing purposes promoted under MiG-35 brand. Initially, the MO was going to buy a land boat in that person (a slotted ZhUK, an already old avionics, even with a glass cabin, but they had already died if not generations then ++ to the current avionics from the ship). However, then he changed his mind. Now they want to make up more stuffing in the ordered MiG-35, hence the regular puffs, transfers and the Air Force, therefore, so far they are not hoping to see replenishment of the LMFI in the coming years.

The vast majority of countries do not need a generation 5 fighter. The F-16 is a successful aircraft, a proven fighter, reliable and inexpensive, so I won’t be surprised if a queue is lined up for the new F-16V. And for our MiG-35, so far you can only feel sad

You are absolutely right. It's just that most countries are not going to rule the whole World, such as America. And America, Russia and China need these aircraft only for superiority over each other in the event of armed conflict. In addition, the US Congress banned the sale of the F-22 Raptor abroad, China would gladly buy to copy.

Rave! Adoption of the F-35 into service is in full swing. And the modernization of the F-16 is more likely not for the United States itself, but for some of its allies who will still prefer the cheap 4th generation fighter. The F-35 is better than the 16 in all aspects except price. And this advantage of "Fighting Falcon" will disappear with the start of mass production of "Penguins".

How to tell you? It depends on where to compare. When comparing in long-range opposition, only Su 35 and PAK FA can be opposed, because AFAR stands only on them (for now), although missile weapons and electronic warfare are not of little importance, other factors are decisive in other tasks.

You never thought that an aircraft using electronic warfare, itself does not lose control and communication. So any electronic warfare can be opposed to something new.
And take-off speed is not the most important characteristic, because take-off is usually carried out long before the battle.

Quote: Алексей_К

And take-off speed is not the most important characteristic, because take-off is usually carried out long before the battle.

With all due respect, climb is not a take off speed. This is the main indicator for vertical maneuver, which is determined by the thrust-weight ratio, the ratio of engine thrust and aircraft weight. Initially, on the f-16 the thrust-to-weight ratio was close to unity, which theoretically allowed him to fly vertically like a rocket. But in recent versions, the thrust-to-weight ratio has fallen markedly.

[NIKNN]

"The radar with displays is a good thing, only the exercises with the Indians showed that the AFAR with AIm-120 is easily suppressed by electronic warfare. This is a question to think about long-range combat. And in terms of maneuverability, the f-16, which is heavy and sagging in the rate of climb, clearly does not meet the requirements of the time. . "

And where did you get the idea that the new equipment on the new elemental Bose is heavier (AFAR has no drives, and this is the heaviest in the antenna, the LCD is not heavier than a CRT, compare at least old and new monitors and TVs), but the released weight can be used with great benefit, if only to improve the noise immunity of this. "AFAR with AIm-120 are easily suppressed by means of electronic warfare."

The nearest candidates for transformation into this "viper" are 20 F-16A Block 20 units formally belonging to the Air Force of the Republic of China (Taiwan), but located in the United States. Most of them are used for pilot training and training, but a couple serve in the 416th Test Squadron as flying laboratories to work out the integration of new systems into aircraft of their standard. By the way, the first F-16V is one of them, tail number 93-0702. Interestingly, the previously existing US Air Force markings have been erased.

And where is their Wunderwafli, which they promoted so hard (despite the price and quality)?

Cut the budget - a cut, and respond to the threat of the Russian aerospace forces than you need. We looked at the mattresses how the modernized drying works, and we wanted to. F 16 is certainly not a bad car, but not better than Mig or Rafale. And, characteristically, they did not say a word about the modernization of the engine or glider. Apparently, these issues are already problems. The engineering corps of the mattress is very weak. The prestige of the profession has fallen to nowhere below.
No wonder there is a joke - the engineering departments of American universities are the place where Russian professors teach Chinese students.

what for? By the way, do you know why the F-16 "got out" and the MiG-29 "bent"? It is because of the engines that the F-16 and F-15 are initially the same engines, first the F-100, then the F110 (and a bunch of pribluda to them). And this greatly reduced the cost of both aircraft. Surprisingly, Americans do know how to count and make money.

Incidentally, the F-22 and F-35 engines are the same. Information for consideration

The "urapatoiots" have a strange logic - when our MiGs are being modernized, this is a super-supernatural one in the world, and when the adversaries - it sucks and is cut. And the adversaries' Evaluation has always had cost / efficiency, and therefore the F-16 parameter is one of the best Western aircraft. Plus, pay attention to how many aircraft were produced - and no one is going to replace them at once with the F-35, taking into account the fact that the aircraft currently provides the tasks assigned to it ... Moreover, Russia and China have 5th generation aircraft in service not yet, but the modernization will bring it to the level of 4+ or ++, which is comparable to our Su-30 and MiG-35 .. At the same time, the costs are small, and there are a lot of potential customers. So it's quite a sensible idea

[Vladimir 1964]

Dear colleagues, I read the comments and was somewhat surprised, to put it mildly, by a certain lack of objectivity. It is clear that we all do not feel great love for an overseas "partner", but sometimes we must at least recognize objective factors. The path of development of the American Air Force is fully analogous to ours. We are also modernizing far from new models of the Su-27 and MiG-29, and this causes a lot of enthusiastic responses from us. What is the need to throw mud at the actions of a potential enemy. We already tried to throw our caps on the enemy on the eve of the Great Patriotic War, but after the “caps” we had to develop the defense industry, in the areas that were necessary at that time.

Something like that, colleagues.
PS As for the F-16, the machine is well-developed, in large quantities, is in service and seems to have a modernization resource, otherwise the Americans would not have been wasting money, weren’t they.

I think that foreign specialized colleagues will come to our military educational institutions, the professionalism of the Russian guys is above all praise. The pilots are handsome, all the glory to them, but many thanks to our hardworking technicians, what a colossal work, what specialists. Aircraft, watch, takeoff, landing, with such a load.
