Indonesia Developing Missile for its F-16 Jets
Citat:Indonesian Aerospace (PT Dirgantara Indonesia) is currently developing a new missile for the Air Force’s fleet of F-16 fighter jets.
“PT DI is in the process of developing a missile to complement its 70-millimeter Folding-fin Aerial Rocket (FFAR), which has been fitted onto the Air Force’s F-16 jets,” president director Elfien Goentoro was quoted as saying by The Jakarta Post on Wednesday.
The missile is being developed by a consortium led by the company and includes other state-owned enterprises such as PT Len Industri, PT Pindad, PT TRESS and explosives maker PT Dahana.

Гаранција за Ф-16 краћа него за електричне уређаје: Бугарски званичник о ЕУ и авионима које су платили а постоје само на скици.
https://www.novosti.rs/%D0%B2%D0%B5%D1%81%D1%82%D0.....o-na-skici
У случају са Ф-16 постоји неколико озбиљних проблема. Прво, према мишљењу експерата, тај модел је исцрпео своје могућности, чак и у новој модификацији Блок 70, зато Пентагон такве авионе није купио више од пет година. Друго, цена за Бугарску је сада виша него за остале купце, а објашњење да је тако јер ово је наша прва куповина изгледа прилично чудно. Треће, да би избегла већу цену (од оне која је претходно одобрена), влада је решила да уклони део наоружања. Другим речима, сада ће уследити додатни трошкови. Ми купујемо модификацију која још увек постоји само на скици. Које су гаранције да ће производ бити успешан?
Унапред смо платили целокупни износ одједном ─ за скицу и за обећање да ће испорука авиона започети од 2023. године. Међутим, недавно се сазнало да се тај рок може продужити до јануара 2027. године. У овој ситуацији је, како кажу, здрав разум немоћан у процени такозване евроатлантске солидарности, којој једнострано служи актуелна бугарска влада.

Par podataka za konkretno tu eskadrilu za period od godinu dana
4800 letova
6000 sati naleta
113 000 sati rada, odnos 19 sati za 1 sat leta
84.4 % raspolozivost aviona
Citat:“On average it takes 19 man-hours to produce a single hour of flight for the F-16,” said U.S. Air Force Chief Master Sgt. Clint Sickel, 480th Aircraft Maintenance Unit superintendent. “So when you look at the nearly 6,000 flight hours this unit produced last fiscal year that equates out to over 113,000 man-hours that the men and women of Warhawk Nation invested in keeping the 52nd AMXS the Air Force’s premiere aircraft maintenance unit, and the 480th Fighter Squadron the most well trained and lethal operators the Air Force has at its fingertips, should the need arise.”
Citat:The job of being a maintainer in AMXS can sometimes prove difficult.
“The most challenging part of aircraft maintenance is that you are always aiming at a moving target,” Sickel said. “The aircraft always get a vote in how your day goes, and what the manpower demand is going to be. We can positively impact that through sound, quality maintenance and getting things fixed right the first time, which is exactly what the Warhawks do.”
Additionally, the F-16 airframe itself can present its own unique challenges.
“The F-16 is the most compact aircraft in our fleet, the components inside reflect that,” Klitzke said. “Most jobs on this aircraft require a lot of finesse to accomplish. For example, installing the gun on an F-16 takes about three to four times as long as it would on an F-15, as we have to work around the small frame of the aircraft.”
Other differences of F-16 aircraft include the work performed by flightline maintenance members.
“F-16 maintenance differs from most other fighters in that as crew chiefs we handle all the Air Force Specialty Code specific on aircraft maintenance,” said U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Ryan Vanderwolde, 52nd AMXS dedicated crew chief. “We remove and install our flight control surfaces, landing gear, etcetera. We also accomplish all riggings and operational checkouts for components that require them.”
The efforts of the 52nd AMXS empowered the 52nd FW to accomplish numerous training missions over the past year.
Sickle said that after executing nearly 4,800 sorties and 6,000 flight hours, the AMXS helped maintain an 84.4 percent mission capable rate. They also enabled critical training and integration with EC-130 aircraft for the first time since the Cold War era, played pivotal roles in several training exercises with U.S. allies and helped five successful Russian-aircraft intercepts during a squadron deployment.
