Lähituki (CAS) ei tarkoita sitä, että tukeva kone tulittaa lähietäisyydeltä, vaan sitä, että maali on lähellä omien maajoukkoja. Sitä voidaan tehdä vaikka 10km:n korkeudelta ja etäisyydeltä täsmäpommilla.Lisäksi oli annettu lähitukea, lieneekö käytetty pyssypodia vai muita pahantekovälineitä?
Tulee mieleen The Departed ja varastettujen prosessorien myynti kiinalaisille. Ei mutta, siellähän ne jo tehdäänkin.
Hauska Star Wars aiheinen nimi tiimillä.How the US Air Force’s Kessel Run team plans to solve one of the F-35 program’s biggest headaches
https://www.defensenews.com/air/201...e-one-of-the-f-35-programs-biggest-headaches/
https://www.aeroaustraliamag.com/raaf-f35s-first-exercise/This account gives an accurate description of how the F-35’s sensor suite is a game changer in situational awareness in a conflicted airspace.
During Red Flag 19-1 AIRCDRE Kitcher witnessed first hand flying with 77 Squadron the abilities of the F-35 first hand, He says: “For me it was very pleasing to witness the F-35 in a strike mission, to see an eight-ship of F-35s kick down the door against a fairly determined adversary, with support from some F-22s to hold the door open.
“The F-35s then went back to pick up the strike train which consisted of classic Hornets from 77
Squadron, Super Hornets from the US Navy, Typhoons from the Royal Air Force and supported by US Navy Growlers and USAF F-16 SEAD aircraft.
“The F-35s took that strike train deep in the training area through some significant air defences,
everyone dropped their ordnance and everyone got out safely. While that was going on there were Growlers and F-16s suppressing enemy air defences and when the F-35s dropped their
ordnance they were actually providing SEAD as well. The whole strike train got out safely thanks to the F-35’s efforts.”
The Government Accountability Office recommended last June that Block 4 be delayed until initial operational testing was complete, but Winter certified that the rapid advance of threat systems posed an urgent risk, and the Pentagon proceeded with a Block 4 contract award in November.
Block 4 includes 53 new capabilities “mapped … to six-month delivery cycles over the next six years, to 2024,” Winter said.
The specific content of the Block 4 upgrade remains closely held, but breaks down broadly into six categories:
In addition to those improvements, which will be common to all variants, some updates will answer unique service requirements. For example, Winter mentioned, only the Navy wants its F-35Cs to be able to launch the Joint Standoff Weapon (JSOW) C1 version.
- Integration of seven new weapons, including the Small Diameter Bomb II, British weapons such as the ASRAAM and Meteor air-to-air missiles; Turkey’s Standoff Missile and Norway’s Joint Strike Missile;
- Eight logistics and support changes;
- 13 electronic warfare updates;
- Seven interoperability and networking changes;
- Seven cockpit and navigation upgrades; and
- 11 radar and electro-optical system enhancements.
Although the F-35 can carry the new Long-Range Anti-Ship Missile, or LRASM, externally, Winter said the principal new anti-ship missiles coming in Block 4 are the JSOW C1 for the Navy and the Norwegian JSM. The program has “not been asked” about whether the stealthy LRASM can fit inside the F-35’s weapon bays, he said, nor has the Navy asked to integrate the SLAM-ER (Standoff Land Attack Missile-Extended Range) version of the Harpoon anti-ship missile.
The F-35 has four basic missions: air superiority, or offensive and defensive counterair; suppression or destruction of enemy air defenses (known as SEAD and DEAD); close air support; and strategic attack against high-value strategic and mobile targets.
“The Block 3F can service all four of those,” said Winter. Block 4 “brings on advanced capabilities and enhancements” to counter adversaries as their “capabilities increase against those mission sets.”
Block 4 also adds a fifth basic mission, Winter said: “extended surface warfare.” Upgrades will enhance radar “for maritime surveillance, identification and targeting,” he explained, “because ‘maritime surface’ and ‘land surface’ are two different problems.” Search patterns on the open ocean will be improved, as will “being able to sense the order of battle in the maritime world.”

Olihan tämä tiedossa. Ei ollut Gripenin etu alunalkaenkaan - toki Meteorille halutaan volyymia ennen kuin kilpailijoita tulee.Jaha, Meteor kolmevitoseen. Mitäs etulyöntiä Gripenille jääkään?
Se kuuluisa "pohjoismainen yhteistyö" ja demareiden tuki?Jaha, Meteor kolmevitoseen. Mitäs etulyöntiä Gripenille jääkään?
-Suurempi rooli tarjolla koneen kehityksessä (ei tietenkään ainoastaan positiivinen asia).Jaha, Meteor kolmevitoseen. Mitäs etulyöntiä Gripenille jääkään?
-Suurempi rooli tarjolla koneen kehityksessä (ei tietenkään ainoastaan positiivinen asia).
-Olisimme omavaraisempia huoltojen suhteen.
-Koneiden kokoonpano luultavasti Suomessa, enemmän osaamista Patrialle.
-Halvemmat käyttökustannukset.
Nämä tulevat mieleen näin nopeasti funtsittuna.

Varmasti Meteorit hankitaan, näin sanoisin.Hankittaisiinkohan Meteoria Suomelle vai pitäydytäänkö AMRAAM:issa, jotta saadaan synergiaetu Nasamsin kanssa (voidaan poolata ohjukset)
Meteorit ja Sidewinderit vai myös Amraameja? Eikös Amraamistakin voi tulla uusi pidemmän kantaman versio ?Varmasti Meteorit hankitaan, näin sanoisin.
Ohjautuvuus myös. Mutta oli miten oli niin varmasti melkoinen ässä: F35 stealthinä ja Meteorit (tmv) korkeuksista matkaan.Meteorit ja Sidewinderit vai myös Amraameja? Eikös Amraamistakin voi tulla uusi pidemmän kantaman versio ?
