Ranxerox ::Pa za mene lično JSF35 bez Vstola gubi smisao(da ostavimo sa strane sve one priče o njegovoj mogućoj neupotrebljivosti)
Citat:At this point in the program, cancelling the F–35B only affects the Marine Corps. http://www.defense-aerospace.com/article-view/rele.....lan-b.html Citat:The current official figures show that US 2019 production has been cut to 622 aircraft but it is almost certain to go down to 522 – a fall of 66 per cent. These enormous falls mean most of the contracts that were given to Australian suppliers by the developer, Lockheed Martin, are useless.
Citat:This threatens to inflict major harm on our defence partner, the United States, and the JSF is by far the largest military obligation in Australia’s history.
Even worse, we convinced our defence manufacturing industry to tool up to be major JSF contractors. As a result, a huge chunk of our defence manufacturing support capacity faces a financial disaster. Three companies have already failed. The long-term air defence planning of the US and Australia is now in tatters.
Manje naruđbe i evo lanćane reakcije.
Citat:Rather he did something far more powerful – he told the truth in the Marine Corps Gazette under the heading “F-35B (JSF) needs a Plan B”. There has been silence from the US Marine chiefs. Clearly Major Cannon had their blessing and the blessings of many in the US defence hierarchy. When the truth is out it can be a great relief to those who are hiding it.
Kako je bilo već napisano, plan Lokida je da napravi serijsku proizvodnju 1 kom na dan, što naravno znaći veliku unifikaciju delova. Pošto zbog trenutnog izpada F35 ovo nije više moguće cena ide naravno gore. I zbog manje naruđbe svi proizvođaći delova širom sveta su i istoj situaciji. I time manje privlaćni za naruđbe van USA.
Citat:As Norway sets a slightly increased level of defense spending for 2012, it also is allocating the first tranche of funding to finance an initial batch of Lockheed Martin F-35 Joint Strike Fighters to be used for training.
Ovo će biti odličan avion sa neviđenom opto-elektronikom u sebi. Ne bacaju džabe toliko para na novorođenče. Svako ima porođajnih muka. Zato postoje testbed-i da se ispitaju sve stvari natenane pa zatim usavrše. Biće odličan all-round avion.
Citat: Lockheed Martin delivered and installed the first weapons load training device at the F-35 integrated pilot-and-maintenance training center (ITC) at Eglin Air Force Base's 33rd Fighter Wing.
