The Reg Flag Exercise Showed That The F-35 Stealth Fighter Is Even Better Than You Think
22.02.2020 |
An engineer familiar with F-35 technology explained it this way - “There is a FLIR (Forward-Looking Infrared) built into the airplane. The DAS (Distributed Aperture System with 360-degree cameras) and the EOTS (Electro-Optical Targeting System to track and attack long range targets) can see things in midwave IR at pretty significant ranges, tracking them from a long way.”
Describing F-35 weapons engagements, Lockheed F-35 pilot Billie Flynn said F-35s could fire Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missiles without being seen by adversaries - operating at the margins of detectability.
"We could launch and leave," Flynn explained.
At last year’s exercise, the Air Force and Navy explored a range of similar threats, including efforts to refine F-22 dogfighting skills. The F-22 at last year’s exercise, from the 27th Fighter Squadron, Langley Air Force Base, Virginia, performed air interdiction, combat search and rescue, close air support, dynamic targeting and defensive counter air operations in mock combat scenarios.
Confronting simulated “Red” force ground and air threats, F-22s attacked targets such as mock airfields, vehicle convoys, tanks, parked aircraft, bunkered defensive positions and missile sites.
Although modern weapons such as long-range air-to-air missiles, and the lack of near-peer warfare in recent years, means dogfighting itself is less likely these days. As the service prepares for future contingencies against technologically advanced adversaries, maintaining a need to dogfight is of great significance. For instance, the emerging Chinese J-10 and Russian 5th Gen PAK-50 clearly underscore the importance of this.
Advanced dogfighting ability can greatly expedite completion of the Air Force’s long-discussed OODA-loop phenomenon, wherein pilots seek to quickly complete a decision-making cycle - Observation, Orientation, Decision, Action – faster than an enemy fighter. The concept, dating back decades to former Air Force pilot and theorist John Boyd, has long informed fighter-pilot training and combat preparation.

During a flight debriefing, Col. Chris Niemi and Maj. Nash Vickers both said a comparison of the radar-absorbing F-35 to its nimble but less stealthy twin-engine F-22 cousin might not reveal the whole story.
Niemi has eight years in the cockpit of an F-22 and is one of the few Air Force pilots who is qualified in both the Raptor and the F-35 Lightning II. He said he wanted to set the record straight on the Lightning II, once and for all. “Many have compared the F-22 to the F-35 but that comparison is unfair. With the F-35 Lightning, this fighter sees better, has more range, and is stealthier than any of its predecessors. This airplane, with its fly by wire technology, is super easy to fly and it has a very linear response.”

F-35 on 100% turha kapistus.
Mieti hetki, mitä sillä tehdään?
Ammutaanko me niiden avulla jotain ohjuksia Venäjälle?
Jos joku tulee meidän ilmatilaan, ammutaanko ne kyselemättä alas?
Jos aloitamme aseellisen sodan, päättyykö se hyvin?
Estävätkö muutamat hävittäjät Venäjää jyräämästä meitä 100-0 jos he haluavat jyrätä meidät?
Mikä on todennäköisyys, että Venäjän kannattaa aloittaa aseellinen sota Suomea vastaan?
Eiköhän tässä tilanteessa olisi syytä turvata ihmisten terveys ja sen jälkeen energiaomavaraisuus. Katsotaan sitten jos jää rahaa yli johonkin sotaleluihin ja gepardihatuille.

venäjä on aivan liian heikko mitään länsimaista valtiota vastaa. 1,3 miljoonaa tsetseeniäkin pyörittää ryssiä

Niemi tietää. On pätevä mies ja tuleva kenraali
Juuri niin. Dogfight on käytännössä mennyttä aikaa
