Nagadjaju sta je ovo, deluje kao sloj nekakvog reflektujuceg materijala/folije. Moguce testiranje toplotnog odraza.



Citat:In June of 2020, The War Zone exclusively reported that one of Scaled Composites Model 401 'Son Of Ares' demonstrators had flown a number of test flights over Naval Air Weapons Center China Lake covered in a highly-reflective metallic coating. It had a similar patchwork quality to what we are seeing here on the F-22. At the time we posited that this could be for testing advanced infrared sensors and even possible low-power laser systems and their targeting capabilities against a 'mirrored' target.

There is a tremendous amount of testing currently ongoing on infrared search and track systems (IRSTs) that are in the early processes of being widely fielded by the Air Force and the Navy, as well as developmental work on emerging aerial laser systems. Of unique note is ongoing testing of multiple General Atomics Avenger unmanned combat air vehicles sporting Legion IRST pods that has been occurring over the Mojave Desert. These tests have been in conjunction with the Skyborg aerial artificial intelligence initiative and larger highly advanced testing scenarios. The testing of various laser systems is also becoming extremely aggressive, as well, as part of a larger push to move directed-energy concepts into an operational state. This includes laser systems intended to be fielded aboard fighter aircraft.

The F-22 could be a highly prized target platform for these types of tests because of its performance—namely its ability to fly at upwards of 60,000 feet with regularity. The thin and cold air at that altitude, as well as the angle at which most sensors would view such a target, against the dark and cold background of the upper atmosphere, could be very beneficial for trialing these systems. Just having a high-performance fighter wearing this coating, which some who have seen it describe as being like the shiny side of foil, could have its own testing benefits as systems it is being tested against mature, but the use of an F-22 is quite the tell here. These prized aircraft are not usually used for tests like this. If a generic fighter target was needed, an F-15 or F-16 that has none of the low-observable skin considerations, among many other factors, could have been used.

We may have also seen a similar application on an F-117 before, which would not be surprising as these aircraft directly support continued airborne signature testing. Regardless, by all accounts, the USAF appears to be making huge investments in airborne signature testing in recent years, which makes sense considering the geopolitical and competitive climate we are living in now. It is possible that this mirror-like coating has developed into a modular and non-invasive application that is now part of that developmental ecosystem.

Citat:US Air Force airmen perform a hot-pit refuel on F-22 at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska on Dec. 8. Hot-pit refueling allows F-22 to rapidly refuel on ground, which optimizes air time to maintain a lethal, ready force in an arctic environment.

Izgleda da ce ga ipak nadogratiti i ostaviti u sluzbi mozda cak do 2060.



Bolji avion prema mnogim performansama im nije potreban, vec takav da se da jeftinije proizvoditi, te da lakse odrzavati i unapredjivati.

Pa šta bi sa onim da se ne može unapredjivati prevashodno softverski, zbog stare arhitekture, već bi bile potrebene i promene na zmaju aviona, a to bi zahtevalo proizvodnju opet novih alata mašina…
Bolji im definitivno ne treba al se kosi sa onim izjavama gen Brown-a.

Cinjenica jeste da su zaglavljeni sa cipovima. Mada kad je rec o programerima. Stavi se u ulogu koliko tehnika napreduje i sta se sve menja, a ti cepas isti posao 20 i kusur godina. Milina.

Takodje mi dobijamo info od ljudi koji znaju da upale i ugase kompjuter i telefon Od politicara i visoko rangiranih vojnih lica. Ne od samih inzinjera.

Izgleda da ima prostora za lupinge i spekulacije.

Takodje je F-22 sve vise simbil njihove moci. Sve to sto je bolje na F-35, ali opet sam avion nije ni blizu po performansama za neke misije.

Ma nema spora F-22 je klasičan avion za ostvarivanje vazdušne prevlasti, i kao takav je neuporediv sa F-35, ali pre par meseci kažu da avio neće prolaziti kroz nikakve modernizacije pošto će sredstva ići na avion 6 generacije, zbog nesvrsishodnosti modernizacije. Ali definitivno kroz budzet za 2022 vidi se veliki porast izdvajanja na modernizaciju. Iskreno bolje od njega im i ne treba.
