The Pentagon believes that the resumption of production of the F-22 Raptor fighter, which was discontinued in 2011 g, will allow it to level the gap between Russia and China, writes Defense News magazine.

Media: America wants to keep up with the Russian Federation and China, resuming production of F-22


“Almost five years ago, the American company Lockheed Martin ceased production of the fifth-generation multipurpose fighter F-22. In 2009, US Secretary of Defense Robert Gates decided to reduce the fighter production plan by four times, and by 2011, instead of the alleged 749 aircraft, only 187 was released, ”the article says RIA News.

“But in the light of the growing feeling that the US Army is losing a technological advantage over rivals such as Russia and China, Congress during the budget period expressed a clear interest in resuming production,”
reports the magazine.

According to the publication, “the combat subcommittee aviation and the US Army Armed Forces Committee instructed the Air Force Secretary to conduct an analysis of the costs associated with the possible production of at least another 194 aircraft. ” The document must be submitted to the Committee by the end of the year.

Earlier, NI wrote that the old aircraft may be more useful for the Pentagon than the “ambitious multi-billion dollar project of the F-35 fighter-bomber”.

      Well, it’s in vain that they clearly got excited! The only right thing is to start the project from scratch! This one is too expensive. And service time just think about 19 million per hour. dust particles are blown off from it and military equipment must fight

            So far, only they are imposing themselves ...
            So to speak, they arranged an internal brawl.
            Until ours or the Chinese build 160 fighters, there is no arms race.
            They will have superiority.
            As catching up in quantity, it will be possible to honestly talk about parity.

    The Americans can understand that the F35 is a cheaper version of the 5th generation aircraft. And Russia has a full version on its way. The T50 was designed taking into account the operation and use of the Raptor. And avionics and electronics have gone a long way since the design of the F22!

            Yeah. And also in electronics, software development, and in general on high-tech. In short, that's all.

            (Separately for Aron Zaavi and still lag behind in air defense, but to see here you have missed a lot when doing flood))))
            In fact, if you hang out on the VO forum, then some of the statements of American and other people could be noticed by yourself, and if in this part it is completely "zero", then the Internet will help you and read a lot of interesting things from American primary sources.
            In the future, many of the most effective weapons used against the U.S. armed forces are likely to be invisible: this refers to electromagnetic waves that interfere with radio reception or interfere with the global positioning system, paralyzing the functioning of combat units.
            This area of ​​warfare is called electronic warfare, which after the 9/11 events had a lower priority than fighting rebel groups with precision weapons and drones. Defense officials now say they are worried that the ability of the US army to conduct electronic warfare is almost lost, and America lags behind countries such as Russia and China.

            "We have no technical means, - says Colonel Jeffrey Church, head of electronic wrestling... "We are working on it, but we are only engaged in conversations so far, having lost years, while our opponents are doing it right now."

            The place where the opponents of the United States demonstrated their skills in electronic warfare was eastern Ukraine - there the Pentagon carefully watched the Russian troops, trying to learn something useful for itself.

            "The Russians have worked hard in recent years to develop electronic warfare," General Ben Hodges, the commander of US forces in Europe, said in a recent interview. "Their actions in eastern Ukraine and Crimea have helped us study the problem."

            One Ukrainian special forces colonel who took part in the battles near Donetsk stated that his people became the target of an artillery attack after Russian-backed separatists discovered the location of Ukrainian positions solely by radio interception. According to him, the radio equipment that they used was American-made under the Harris brand.

                    1. If in the course of several years the "tone" of conversations on some "topic" begins to change, this means that a "shift" has occurred.
                    We recall how loudly the US UAVs started, how then their laurels began to fade a little and the UAVs themselves "whole" to fall (at least Iran), then the "milestone" 2008, when our soldiers used mobile phones and the Air Force was forced to use the Su-34 located in Lipetsk the center and not the troops (something like that) and "cherry" is the Crimea. The American military admitted that by all means of intelligence they profited a huge movement of military equipment and troops, that is, they saw something but could not listen to Merkel. (search for proofs yourself)
                    2. I do not know about the means of electronic warfare of the USA. I see their statements and actions, including the ban on flying within the framework of the "open skies"

                    The other day, the Wall Street Journal talked about how the American special forces miscalculated the “invasion” of the Russians in Crimea. In a material dated 24 in March, journalists Adam Entous, Julian E. Barnes and Siobhan Gorman share with the reading public their thoughts on how the Kremlin managed to fool not only intelligence analysts, but also military satellites that monitored the Crimea. The authors conclude that the Russians probably learned to circumvent the western wiretapping.

              The concept of air defense includes several components, if you have a ground component in the form of air defense systems, then the Americans have long surpassed the Russian Federation in this field.
              The most important characteristic of an air defense system is its accuracy. The Americans implemented the principle of hit-to-kill, their missiles hit directly into the air target, does not explode nearby, but strikes with a direct hit. We could not realize this, although they tried.

                Well. as already answered here - they created a rocket. Another question. that the production of such a rocket is not adjusted.
                But there is also the question of which is better. Sometimes an indirect hit is better because if the construction is tight (and this is a common practice for hiding the number of planes in a group), then with an indirect hit (the formation of a cloud of striking elements) there is a chance to hit several targets.
                It's me that we need rockets with both methods. This applies primarily to the S-300 / S-400 / S-500 line.

But the means are different. In the first case, the Howitzer with the calculation, means of transportation and transport with ammunition.

                    from what oak is THAAD PRO analog S-500?
                    THAAD PRO is something around S-300B4 or S-400, the only thing is that our systems do not have radars for monitoring up to 1000 km, this is their plus.
                    At the same time, THAAD is a pure missile defense system, it is generally useless against ordinary aircraft and non-ballistic missiles, that is, their "plus" has turned into a huge "minus". And our analogs just work for all purposes, and the missile defense element is an additional "feature".

                    Patriot PAC-3 is the same trouble, the purest missile defense only in the near radius, just exactly in the S-300PMU category, only unlike ours, their pack3 is practically useless against a plane or a ballistic missile.
                    Among other things, the probability of hitting a target in a modern patriot is almost several times worse than that of the S-300 model of the 80s.
                    TTX missiles. Target height:
                    Patriot Pak3 = 20km.
                    S-300 PMU = 40km.

                    The S-500 has no analogues, which it will not be known yet, but according to the requirements of the military, it significantly exceeds THAAD missile defense, so


                    THAAD has only 2x 8PUs, not 16, only 16 zeroes in the whole complex, can no longer. Only one or two, generally minuscule, can lead to the target.
                    PAK3 also has 2x 8PUs in total, 16 zeroes in total, and also more likely simply can no longer.
                    The S-400 has 4PUs on each installation, the number of "xs" installations, they will supply as many as needed, but definitely more than 48 zurki per 1 S-400 air defense system.
                    "--- Maximum targets fired simultaneously:
                    80 (10 goals of each air defense system, up to 8 air defense systems in total under general management) (until 2012 - 36 (6 air defense systems of 6 goals))

                    And in all respects, the US air defense systems, even with missile defense, are much inferior to air defense of the USSR / RF, even simply with missile defense elements as an addition.

                The concept of air defense includes several components, if you have a ground component in the form of air defense systems, then the Americans have long surpassed the Russian Federation in this field.
                The most important characteristic of an air defense system is its accuracy. The Americans implemented the principle of hit-to-kill, their missiles hit directly into the air target, does not explode nearby, but strikes with a direct hit. We could not realize it, although they tried.

          F-15E was developed and adopted, only in view of the massive failure of the F-111. They campaigned out their resource much stronger than originally planned. And it was planned to have them before the 2010 year.

    http://svpressa.ru/society/article/6986/

    It is known that the Air Force purchased 179 F-22 fighters at a price of more than $ 400 million apiece, but not one of these miracle planes took part in the hostilities in Iraq, Libya or Afghanistan.


    A ruinous machine ... for a protracted war, the exhaustion of enemy forces is absolutely unsuitable.

    To resume old production is not only to take blueprints from the shelf. It is also to renew old production chains, supply chains. So let's see how they NOW will cope with this, what will be the culture of production.

      You really missed. F 22, although it is called a multi-role fighter, but it is not a fighter, i.e. an airplane of gaining superiority in the air, in its pure form. Because the fighter must have a WORKING RADAR, and not fly in stealth mode, and also have super maneuverability. Its task is not to engage in air combat with enemy aircraft, but secretly get close to the enemy and suppress him first of all, radar and other key ground targets .. And if it flies in search mode with the radar on, and especially after launching any missile, it automatically loses its only advantage. Well, what about the F 22 chances in close air combat, already a lot on isano.

        Hm. To whom and what should an airplane do? belay And why does he have a non-working radar, and with maneuverability is he doing well? The included radar does not equal to the fact that the aircraft is immediately visible to everyone (there are various modes of operation of the radar). AGSN missiles do not need constant target illumination. And it can be carried out by another plane, not just by the rocket itself. For example, 4 planes launch one missile.

          Summary:
          LPI mode for detection distances has nothing to do with the maximum or working radar detection distances. because it is determined by other parameters.
          The maximum distance in theory to 55 km, in real life less than 50 km. in the complete absence of jamming by the drinker, because this mode is very sensitive to the noise component.
          This distance is on the border of the detection distance of an aircraft operating in LPI by means of optoelectronic target search. For fighters of the last generation, it approaches 60-70 km. for non-replaceable targets in the infrared range.
          This mode is convenient to sneak up to the enemy’s newest aircraft, while remaining invisible. When meeting with an airplane that has a modern OEC detection. as well as during the operation of electronic warfare systems, all its advantage is reduced to zero.

            Yes, since the APG-77v1 AFAR, it is possible to work with short pulses by a directed beam, which significantly complicates the direction finding of the F-22.

              Everything is exactly the opposite: launched a medium-range missile - turned on the radar to transmit radio-guiding commands to the missile on the marching part of the flight.

              But in short-range combat, a radar is not needed - for normal aircraft, OLS is used for the range of DB missiles.

            Where did you get this from?
            The LPI mode in the APG-77 product has only 15-20% reduction in detection range ..
            Those. for a target with EPR in 1km - the range will not be 220, but 180km. And for EPR in 5km - under 300km.

            And your 50km are ordinary IR detectors.

    "Reducing technological lag" (C) is not about an experienced fifth-generation fighter T-50, it is about a serial fourth-generation fighter Su-35S, which in terms of its performance is equal or superior to the extreme version of the Raptor:

    F-22 / Su-35С
    empty weight, t ~ 19,7 / 19,0
    fuel weight in internal tanks, t ~ 8,2 / 11,5
    maximum range, km ~ 2000 / 3600
    maximum take-off weight, t ~ 38 / 34,5
    normal take-off weight, t ~ 29,2 / 27,0
    maximum engine thrust, t ~ 31,6 / 29,0
    maximum speed, km / h ~ 2410 / 2500
    all-aspect thrust vector control ~ no / Yes
    wing area, sq.m ~ 78 / 62
    optical location station ~ no / Yes
    active electronic warfare system ~ no / Yes
    number of missiles BB SD ~ 6 / 6
    the number of missiles BB MD ~ 2 / 4
    cost, USD ~ 411 / 30

    Judging by the agenda of the subcommittee of the Committee of Defense of the House of Representatives of the US Congress, it is not so much about resuming production of the F-22, but rather about its modernization in terms of confronting new fighter planes of potential opponents (Russia and China).

    First of all, they are going to equip the Raptor with an optical location station to bring its technical vision to the level of Su-35С (and at the same time to raise the notorious EPR F-22 to the level of F-35, since the OLS reflects in the radio range).
    Secondly, they will replace the closed data exchange system only between raptors with the standard US Air Force system, making it possible for the F-22 to exchange for the first time with other types of tactical aircraft.
    In the third turn, it is the modernization of the Raptor avionics in the form of establishing a radar with the function of active electronic warfare, etc.

    From the list of modernization measures it follows that the Raptor will remain with the Raptor the maneuverability (in terms of the lack of all-aspect control of the thrust vector), speed characteristics (in terms of the inefficiency of the air intake at high speeds) and the payload (in terms of fewer missiles and bombs in the internal compartments) worse than Su-35С.

    Even after modernization, the Raptor will lag behind the T-50 in all respects, except for the front-end EPR.
