F-35 first tested the gun in the air

137
In the US, at the Edwards Air Force Base (California), the X-NUMX-generation F-5 Lightning II multi-purpose aircraft tested its 35-mm gun in the air for the first time, reports Rossiyskaya Gazeta with a link to the Flightglobal resource.

F-35 first tested the gun in the air


The first tests were not spectacular and very modest. According to the publication, “test pilot Major Charles Tricky made one turn from 22 shots and two from 30 from the integrated four-barreled gun GAU-60 / A. The shooting itself lasted a few seconds.

Resource notes that "the developers of F-35 against the background of the unceasing criticism of the fighter tried to" demonstrate the progress in equipping the aircraft, which they were able to achieve. Hence, apparently, and the publication of the video with the test, laid out in the network for a wide view.

“It turns out that there is some progress. The ground tests of the guns were completed before the deadline, and the air tests began earlier than the originally planned date, ”the newspaper says ironically.

The intention to abandon the purchase of F-35 previously announced the new Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau. The Pentagon has already considered that because of the demarche of the neighbors, the American economy will not receive at least $ 65 million in profits.

            Do not confuse profit and cost! In the US defense industry, the cost of development includes kickbacks to the military, senators and congressmen, a bunch of different commissions and lobbyists. All these "respected and influential people" love to eat very much. In your opinion, perhaps the F-22 is called gold? It costs exactly as much as the same weight of gold costs, well, at least at the time of release. You can laugh a lot, but our T-50 has not yet been adopted for service, and oh, how we need it.

              Well, they took the F-35 into service. So what? Flies with a creak, only learning to shoot. Maybe it was worth bringing to mind and adopting a fully ready unit? Therefore, the T-50 has not yet been accepted. VKS RF semi-finished products are not needed.

            Why is that?
            Lockheed Martin received a contract for the 9th lot for the production of 55 F-35 Joint Strike Fighter fighters in the amount of $ 5,37 billion, defensenews.com reports on November 3.
            The lot includes 41 F-35A fighters (26 for the US Air Force, six for Norway, seven for Israel and two for Japan), 12 F-35B (six for the United States Air Force and six for the United Kingdom) and two F-35C (US Navy) . Aircraft must be delivered until December 2017 (en.wikipedia.org reports that the cost of one F-35A without an engine is $ 98 million, F-35B - 104 million, F-35C - 116 million - approx. Military Parity) .
            It is reported that some of the work will be performed by companies in other countries, of which 20% will be in the UK (Wharton) and 5% in Japan (Nagoya).

          The engine - he needs oxygen, not powder gases. Sometimes engines just stall. Well, the controllability of the aircraft when shooting also plays a role, the return is still. smile
          Here is a quote.
          However, during the flight firing tests of the GAU-1974A gun mounted on the A-8A aircraft (in March 10), abnormal operation of the aircraft engines caused by the ingress of powder gases generated during firing was detected three times. (C)

                    Absolutely not maneuverable. Other cars coped with the same tasks, no worse. The stealth is relative, it is suitable to bomb Honduras, or Congo. By the way, after a lane in Yugoslavia, they instantly stopped flying there. Because after launching a rocket from the ground, the pilot can immediately leave the board.

                        F-15 has only recently been really shot down, by the Hussites, the rest is a loss in operation. F-16 yes, more often. But it was used more often and more actively. Of the 64 F-117, 8 is lost, 7 in air accidents, one shot down. In general, the indicator is normal, but not outstanding

      F-35 first tested the gun in the air
      In the USA, at the Edwards airbase (California), a multifunctional aircraft 5th generation F-35 Lightning II first tested its 25mm cannon in the air, reports

      Well, they flatter themselves very much. F-35 does not seem to be attracted to the 5th generation, if only because it is subsonic. And this completely crosses out all their attempts to the 5th generation request And there are still all sorts of nishtyaks there, on which he does not channel on the 5th.
      Farther. All the same, they put a gun ... And now this is a very serious turn. I will explain. This is a change in the philosophy of aviation, definitely! The Americans did not invest in the 5th generation the possibility of maneuverable aerial combat in direct line of sight. But after demonstrating the capabilities of our electronic warfare systems, a roasted cock pecked at ..... lol In this situation, it is very likely to state that our Dryers currently have overwhelming superiority over these expensive pepelats good Yes

        Can you name his maximum speed? or about that the F-35 doesn't have a super cruise? so it is.
        and with stealth, everything is fine with him.
        it’s another matter that he has maneuverability at the seams, and he turns out to be a jack of all trades, only in every case he is inferior to a specialized machine, that is, it’s both a nedobomber and a nedosturmovik and an underfighter, but in general, do not underestimate the enemy and his technique, it can be painful, and pain in such matters is the death of one of his own. and it’s better to overdo it than underdo it.

          Flight characteristics:

          Maximum speed: about 1900 km / h (this is afterburner)
          Cruising speed: 850 km / h
          The 5th generation should fly on supersonic WITHOUT afterburner!

                but in fairness, they rely on an excellent avionics, and although it will turn out to be a flying disabled person, he can shoot (that is, use what was crammed into him) perfectly (though we must take into account that our EWs are also on the alert).

            Well, if you compare, it may not be bad, I don’t know about the Chinese maneuverability, but the fact is a fact, even Eurofighters broke the raptors in the BVB, I generally keep quiet about our drying, and the F-35 is much inferior to the raptor in terms of maneuverability, that is, Eurofighter and dryers will merge even faster.
            Threat Americans already once hoped that they would shoot down an enemy from afar that would not do anything to them, I'm talking about starfighter, and removed the guns from their planes, saying that the BVB will no longer take place in battle. reality puts everything in its place with nothing to do in the wrong places for which the US strategists were counting.

                Amers and I have different views on the 5th generation fighters. They rely on stealth, saying that the time of "dog dumps" (close combat) has passed, and our designers make our fighters not maneuverable, but SUPER MANEUVERABLE. they and we win, but in some ways we are inferior. But in my opinion, our concept is more correct and balanced. hi

FULL invisibility only happens in fairy tales, and there are such people, called Russians, who have talented engineers, and they develop methods as you can find by other methods, you can discover what traditional methods it’s not detected, for example, to change the radar range, optical detection, passive detection, etc., and here ALL the concept of states goes along the beard. and the same rake comes as in Vietnam with a cannon. full drain begins. and if stealth can be a panacea for Arabs or Africans who do not have such a military-industrial complex as they are in Russia, then in the case of us, stealth will not play the role that the states assigned to it and the BVB will begin, and then oops, fu-35 will merge even 4 generation.

        Perhaps you are right. But let's see how things are going with fighter platforms of the 5th generation ... PAK FA, although it flies and is tested, but the state tests are still at the implementation stage. The series will be, the question is how much and with what problems in the course of operation in the army. Further, the MIG design bureau is developing enthusiastically the 5th generation LFI, and perhaps after 5 years, God grant (taking into account the MIG 1.44 and PAK FA developments) we will be pleased with the appearance of a prototype. And it’s not at all a fact if the Mikoyanovites bring the new LFI to the state of a production car, the Moscow Region will purchase it.
        Americans in this regard are much more perspicacious, already signing contracts for the supply of F-35 to all their allies.
        It’s clear that dear Lightning and the elimination of all problems have no end in sight, but they already have a series (although they have not passed the state test). Perhaps the F-35s will be retrained (I'm talking about the main F-35 of the three modifications) into something otherwise, but one consolation is that the deadlines are postponed until 19, and then we'll see.
        We would have to gloat less, and think more about our LFI, which so far has not existed, but sadly.

          Until the 20th, for reasons of software development and debugging. And there, in addition to software problems, a wagon and a small cart. The fact that they riveted a "series" of raw aircraft for testing in the Air Force before state acceptance looks like firefighting measures to speed up the development, not the fact that it will work the way they would like. Improvisation in such a business is not the best technique. And when do we plan to start delivering the T-50 to the troops ??
          Serial deliveries of the aircraft to the troops should begin in 2016. Earlier it was reported that the current state armament program provides for delivery to the Air Force 60 serial PAK FA aircraft until 2020.

The Germans Tiger on the line collected as much as we managed to make 4-5 T-34s during the same time.

                        No, I didn’t say that. The 29th Migi, as part of its application, is a great car! One of their indisputable advantages is the ability to take off / land from federal highways (if there is some infrastructure for the service team). But we are discussing with you what we need for a prospect, and not what we already have. My statement: PAK FA will eventually squeeze out all this small fry. Just the principle of its creation, this implies. The unification of all that is possible in one machine, as a result, halving the number of cars in comparison with the concept of a two, cheaper for the same reasons, increasing the combat capabilities of each unit, as a result, increasing efficiency! Etc. Something like this.

                        We are using the Su-30SM as a fighter in Syria now.
                        By your logic, we should have used the MiG-29 in Syria to cover the Su-24 and Su-25. After all, its use is much cheaper and more effective according to your words. And for some reason we use the Su-30SM. Do you think ours do not know how to count money?
                        Just Using four Su-30SM replaces twice as many MiG-29. By the fact that the Su-30 can be twice as much in the air performing combat missions of airspace control. This means that you need half the space on the airfield, half as much technicians, half as much maintenance time, half as much kerosene and half as much bandwidth!

                        Su-30SM in the amount of 4 units are routinely used strictly as fighters to cover bombing groups in dangerous areas and to control airspace in target areas. They carry only short and medium-range air-to-air missiles. Other use of the Su-30SM multifunctional heavy fighters in this company is not provided for by the regulations for the use of the air group. Only as fighters.

          Not. They have problems with this. In addition to the gun, no rifle art systems were installed there. It’s just that now it’s necessary to modify the OS, vparivaya in his body more than 900 lines of gun control software. Initially, this was not intended. And because of this, the fire control software from the gun is periodically buggy. They want to be able to hit any targets at any heights, but the current software embedded in the OS doesn’t allow this to be done. So they will rewrite until the 20th year (according to their own statements)! And this is only one of the problems of this pepelats.

            And it was developed not only because the Russian Federation appeared in the presence of electronic warfare of the required quality, but also due to the fact that the Lochids cannot give the long-suffering B-35 all the properties of a fifth-generation fighter. This is indicated not only by the installation of the gun (which was not planned at all initially), and as a result, by a change in the concept of use, but also by the refusals of the Allies to purchase the initially declared volumes.

And do not consider them fools if they decided to embody not everything that was in it. The experience of the real fifth generation is only with them.

              I'm embarrassed to ask: Will the R-73 itself capture? Her little GOS, 600-800 km, will even see something? Or maybe the aircraft's radar will see the target, the smart on-board computer will tell you the most terrible target and how to deal with it? The pilot will sadly agree with the computer and press "PLI", after which the AIM-120 will jump out of the combat compartment, turn towards the target and go to the intended meeting with the target. Km so for twenty, the missile seeker will turn on, it will see the target from 12-17 km, if it does not see it, it will "search" along the course, then it will capture it, and fly to a meeting, swell, with your favorite airplane to the brudenshaft ... And you , sorry, how did you imagine? What are all sorts of rackets 7, 9, 120 sitting there (in the combat compartment) and twisting their noses, following the pilot's helmet?

            And so, for erudition, Gryazev and Shipunov are considered world legends of machine gun and cannon aviation weapons. I highly doubt that they designed heavy and low-speed weapons for the aircraft No. This is rather the destiny of our American and other NATO partners. Feel free, but it is.

          diesel-electric submarine of project 636.3 "Varshavyanka"

          The lead submarine of Project 877 (Halibut), according to NATO classification Kilo (Varshavyanka), entered service in 1980. By and large, it differs from the improved project 636 only in the absence of the "Caliber".
          For the Black or Caspian Sea, of course, this is a good option, but for ocean-going fleets - the North and Pacific Oceans, it would be time to think about air-independent power plants. That way a few years ago. Or will we try to ride on the Soviet past? Such an event is not a triumphant, but an ordinary, normal one, not worthy of such discussion after an article on aviation. Now, if VNEU was installed on the 636th, there would be a reason for conversation. Otherwise, soon we will install "Calibers" on the reserve rolling stock with steam traction and rejoice at how smart WE are, this will definitely be unparalleled in the world.

      Construction of the Varshavyanka series for the Black Sea Fleet began in August 2010. The first boat "Novorossiysk" was transferred to the fleet on September 17, 2014, the second - "Rostov-on-Don" - on December 30, 2014, the third - "Stary Oskol" - on July 3, 2015, the fourth - "Krasnodar" - November 5, 2015 ...
      Two more boats - "Veliky Novgorod" and "Kolpino" - are currently under construction at the Admiralty shipyards in St. Petersburg.
      The transfer of a series of Project 636.3 Varshavyanka submarines to the Black Sea Fleet will be completed on November 25, 2016. This was announced by Rear Admiral Viktor Kochemazov, Head of the Combat Training Directorate of the Russian Navy, during the ceremony of raising the Andreevsky flag on the fourth boat of the series.
      All six boats will be based at the Novorossiysk naval base. Now Novorossiysk is already based there.

      Do you know for sure that all 6 aircraft fly? Only recently we drew an article that the 6th copy went to repair the 5th, whose engines surged on takeoff .. and the glider caught fire .. so, 3 gliders fly, 2 more on the ground, strength tests, and then .. then gliders fly, with engines of the previous generation (ed 117), with an incomprehensible AFAR (in the sense that they will leave it or put something better) with an incomplete set of avionics .. each glider tests its own piece of equipment. Big doubts that there is at least 1 !!! a pre-production sample, on which everything that will be on the first series in the promised 2016 is worth. It's just looking TRUTH in the eye. If there were, they would have already boasted not at one MAKS or Le Bourget .. The DB rocket generally does not fit into the fighting compartment, bastard, it does not physically fit .. There is still GSE for years, if you really look .. we will get something in 2018. planes 8-12 .. The bourgeoisie will already have several hundred. They promise to make 120-150 pieces per year ..

    The first tests were not spectacular and very modest. According to the publication, “test pilot Major Charles Tricky made one turn from 22 shots and two from 30 from the integrated four-barreled gun GAU-60 / A. The shooting itself lasted a few seconds.

    I want to laugh at such progress and quickness. He tested a gun at the age of fourteen (of an airplane) ... negative

    The third place is occupied by the carrier-based fighter of the American Navy Grumman F-11 Tiger, known primarily for the fact that in the literal sense of the word he knocked himself out. During the tests, the F-11 Tiger pilot tested a 20-mm cannon and managed to catch up with the shells that it fired from the guns, writes The National Interest.

    how much do we sell 30MKI to India?
    40-50mil, but for example, Kazakhstan Su-30SM cost 5 mn rubles for 4 units, that is, 1,25 mn rubles per unit or 20 mil.
    And there will be more than 3000 of these "pepelats" ..
    Makein requires a reduction in procurement f-35.

    Not true. The F-35s of Turkey and Italy are sold for 116 million, they sell themselves for 86 million, there are more links there .. And this is also that they will be produced in a number of countries. Italy, Japan, Holland ... i.e. the local budget will take away more money. And India's Su-30MKI "go" 100 million. $, otherwise they would not have considered Rafal and Eurofighter's offer of 120 million each. Kazakhstan and Belarus are not an indicator, this is the CSTO, we practically "give" them weapons, just as the "God's chosen" demand "gifts" for themselves ... in the amount of 3.1 billion. $. Even an old F-20 is not worth 16 million, the cheapest is about 36 million, about 30 million is China's export FC-1.
    For the Su-35S, Su-30SM (MKK, MKI, etc.) there is no sighting equipment on the ground .. These are now pure interceptors. There passive headlamps, such a resolution as 30x30 cm, were not seen spawn ..
    How much do you think the price tag for the T-50 (FCPGA if any) will be for Russia and India if we buy it in the amount of 150-200 pieces? I am afraid that we will catch up with the F-22A .. Only those have ALREADY been flying since 1997, there are trained pilots, a bunch of "childhood" diseases have been fixed, there is a tactic of application ..
