The Pentagon decided on the choice of the manufacturer of the new bomber

74
The Pentagon called the company, which will be contracted to produce a new strategic bomber. The main manufacturer will be the corporation Northrop Grumman, reports RIA News.

In-2

It is assumed that the new machine will be in service with the next 50 years.

“The plane will replace the famous B-2 and B-52 bombers,” said Air Force Minister Deborah James.

According to the Pentagon’s assistant head, William Laplant, “it is planned to build 100 aircraft, including the first stage - 21, at the rate of 511 million dollars per plane in 2010 prices of the year”.

Recall that the Boeing and Lockheed Martin alliance also fought for the right to receive an order. However, the US Department of Defense chose Northrop Grumman, who had previously built B-2 (total 21 units), which was later abandoned due to the high price. The cost of one aircraft reached $ 2 billion.

Help Agency: “Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE: NOC) is an American military-industrial company operating in the fields of electronics and information technology, the aerospace industry, and shipbuilding. Established in 1994 by the merger of Northrop Corporation and Grumman Corporation. ”

        Well, yes, of course, 511 million ... wassat
        Northrop Grumman, which previously built the B-2 (a total of 21 units), which later had to be abandoned due to the high price. The cost of one aircraft reached $ 2 billion laughing laughing laughing But this is also design and survey work, testing, bringing to mind ... In general, the "Golden F-35" will give way to the "Platinum bomber" from Northrop Grumman and the final price of the bomber will by no means $ 511 million, and I think not 2 billion dollars ... In general, it's cool to print money yourself, you can create an airplane and for 3 trillion dollars to come up with and for one and a half trillion dollars to buy bully

        These aircraft will never be targets for any air defense, including ours. Missile launches (rockets also develop gradually) will be carried out for 2000 km from the zones of protected air defense. Our strategists also expect to beat the enemy at a distance from the enemy’s air defense.
        The second one. We are already standing still. Tupolevs have just begun designing our PAK YES. And this aircraft is already worse in all respects in comparison with the strategist of the Sukhoi Design Bureau T-4 (manufactured in 1972) and even more so the T-4MS. The only thing they will take into account is the reduced visibility and modern computer equipment.
        So we are definitely in complete stagnation until 2050, when Russia will finally understand that because of the Tupolevites Russia will be left without strategic aviation.

      Lockheed built the U-2 high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft, the most popular Hercules transporter in the world, the Orion naval aircraft and Galaxy heavy transport, which had no analogues in carrying capacity for 15 years. Ballistic missiles for submarines - Polaris, Poseidon, Trident (1 and 2).

      Among the well-known space projects of the Lockheed firm: the Agen booster block, the Korona series reconnaissance satellites, and the orbital Hubble telescope.

      The second member of the corporation is Martin Marietta. She successfully mastered the chemical industry and built the world's first floating nuclear power plant. But the main glory of this office was also associated with space:

      Interplanetary probes of the Viking series, spent on the surface of Mars from four to six years.

      Station “Magellan”, performed a detailed mapping of the surface of Venus.

      ICBMs of the “Titan” series and a family of launch vehicles based on them.

      Intercontinental ballistic missile MX heavy class.

      The ballistic missile medium range “Pershing-2” with a maneuvering warhead.

      The cold flickering of stars, the dust of Martian storms and precision weapons ...

      A new chapter in the story began in 1995, when Lockheed and Martin Marietta merged into a single company, turning into Lockheed Martin.

          And what was the scandal, can you recall?


          The fact that the son of the then President of the Bundestag Kai-Uwe von Hassel accidentally crashed on this car on March 10, 1970

          As of the end of the 60's. the average flight time of German F-104G per accident was 2970 hours, while that of American F-104С was 5950 hours.


          For comparison: the accident rate of Soviet fighters was expressed by approximately the same values: MiG-21 - raid on one accident 4422 h, MiG-19 - 4474 h, an absolute anti-record set Su-7, beating every 2245 hours (well-known aphorism: Sukhoi designer, and wet technician). Common stories for aircraft of that era.

          Noteworthy is the statistics of the Spanish Air Force: not a single “Strafighter” lost in the seven years of their operation (from the 20 fighters that were available). Even taking into account their low intensity of operation, under ideal weather conditions, this result does not confirm the reputation of the F-104 as the emergency fighter itself.

          ...

          F-104 “Starfighter” was the first production fighter to break the line of two speeds of sound. In the 1959 year, he set an absolute world record, rising to a height of 31 kilometer. Remained in service for 15 years. the last Italian F-104ASA were withdrawn from service in 2004

These are, so to speak, the most current versions of how they shot down.

Therefore, the probability of reaching the borders of the zone of use of weapons and remaining unnoticed is equal, if not zero, then somewhere close to this! I can admit that a single plane may go unnoticed, but what's the use of one bomber for a country like Russia ?! Well, even if they dare to strike, they will strike in a massive way and most likely only with cruise missiles and from a maximum distance! But then again, if a massive take-off of bombers is recorded, it is unlikely that Russia will sit and wait for a blow to us, most likely they will lift into the air all that is and fighter-interceptors in the first place! And MiG-31 will intercept any V-2 long before they use bombs and missiles!

                    You still have to get to the basing places. What do you order to destroy planes there, if this place is deep in the country and is surrounded by an air defense system? And if take-off is carried out at night? A strategist can overcome several thousand kilometers in any direction in a few hours, and a satellite hangs over an object in just a few tens of minutes. There are windows when the satellites are not hanging at all. Finding a flying airplane from a satellite over an area of ​​millions of square kilometers is a difficult task.
                    that a single aircraft may go unnoticed, but what's the use of one bomber for a country like Russia ?!

                    If the strike is nuclear, losses from even one aircraft will be critical.
                    Well, even if they dare to strike, they will strike in a massive way and most likely only with cruise missiles and from a maximum distance!

                    But I agree with this, it has already been discussed.
                    if a mass take-off of bombers is recorded, it is unlikely that Russia will sit and wait for a strike against us

                    In our defense strategy, it is written about the use of nuclear weapons proactively. Anyway, we won’t be able to bring down all hundreds of American KR and bombers. And Europe also has a missile defense. Who can guarantee that those anti-ballistic missiles SM-3 are somehow not really ballistic medium-range nuclear warheads ???
                    But back to our question: an inconspicuous aircraft with hypersonic weapons has a very good chance of finding a hole in our air defense system and striking Moscow before it is discovered and shot down. Distracting blows are possible so that one leaks out. After that, the account of the victims will go to thousands and it will be useless to appeal to the voice of reason. I have no doubt in the answer of our military. I doubt that then at least someone will care about who started the mess.

                    And judging by the rhetoric of American hawks, they won’t stop at anything, just to harm Russia’s maximum, but it’s better to destroy it. With hope to sit out, as in the old days, on his own continent, supplying weapons to Warring Europe. Moreover, the hegemony of the United States has been a clear threat.

                  Secondly, they spotted him visually, and the rocket was pointed when the bomb opened the bomb, his EPR increased and naturally got himself an warhead in his belly. These are, so to speak, the most current versions of how they shot down.

                  EMNIP, there was another version that they detected the approach of the "lame goblin" just with the help of the surveillance radar. And they issued a control center for the C-125. But the SNR-125 on the radar channel could not give a normal return signal for capture / tracking - and had to launch based on data from the backup optical channel.

    Incomprehensible choice of the manufacturer.
    Surely they will try to make it using the technologies that are used in the development of the 35th.
    And they took out the whole brain Lockheed sharply lengthening and raising the cost of the project. Despite the fact that they already had experience on the 22nd.
    It would be more logical, probably, to entrust this to those who have already managed to eat a whole plantation of cacti and have some experience.

    I’m afraid that it’s not about hundreds, but about thousands of missile defense systems. The SM-3 missile defense systems simply cannot physically be missile defense systems. Now they have a head of 500-60 kg at ranges of 80 km. And the ballistic missile defense assumes much more, besides the charge itself, for example, a guidance system. And it turns out that the charge will have a weight of 3 tens of kilograms. The point is in such a charge, with a capacity of 40-50 ct. Yes, they have different delivery methods. BRDS should deliver a certain load over a long distance at a certain speed. A missile is a much smaller load, much closer, but with bОspeed.
