Boeing Upgrades F-15EX Fighter with Advanced Electronic Warfare Technolo...

[kib30735]

我：「F18戰機在台灣聊到停產，只因為川普聊到F15EX戰機，台灣人開始幻想台灣能取得F15EX戰機，仔細研究F15戰機的發動機是使用F16戰機同一款的發動機，飛控系統也是用BAE System，只要不要幻想第五代戰機，證明台灣發展下一代戰機基本上沒有什麼問題。」伊吹翼：「現在米國的產線已經滿了。」我：「這就是討論台灣在地生產的原因，有時候很想聽烏克蘭軍事毒舌評論家來評論台灣的經國號戰機是不是比飛行垃圾還要糟糕？這些軍事武器有時候處理舊裝備比新裝備還麻煩，就算是次等裝備被落後國家拿到也會像開外掛一樣。」

F35 versus F15EX (F16) budget

Omdat de cijfers met aantal nullen nogal duizelingwekkend en verwarrend zijn, gingen we aan het rekenen op basis van mijn uitgebreide Spreadsheet kennis. Verwarring kan ook ontstaan door het feit dat wij miljoen en miljard kennen voor zes of negen nullen en US gebruikt daarvoor Miljon en Billion. Dus wij gebruiken M$ of G$ zoals MB megabyte en Gb gigabyte. Dan zijn de computer nerds ook mee. Een…

Oh shit sorry was just looking at the f15ex training manual and typed this out without thinking.

While there has Been a lot of Focus on the #F35 Production Rate, there's been less Coverage of Lockheed's plan to gradually Build Up #F16 Production given the Substantial Backlog.

LM is Aiming for 3-4 F-16V/month by late 2025 and could Potentially Deliver >200 Fighters in 2026.

"LaPlante said he had dispatched members of the Pentagon’s new Joint Production Accelerator Cell down to Greenville Where Lockheed’s F-16 Plant is working to Speed things Up.

What [is it] going to take to get the F-16 Line up to Where it Needs to Be, which is about 4 a Month.."

By 2026 we need to aim to Deliver 228 Fighters/Year while Maintaining Service Life Extension & Upgrade Programs for Existing Aircraft.

And that needs to be Maintained through to the Beginning of #NGAD Production.

#F35: 156

#F16: 48

#F15EX: 24

F15ex Big smoke kill ratio 105/0....... Just think when the F 35 lightning it's going full throttle at 1200 mph. Then we get to see Big smoke go buy them at 1875 mph. When's the last time your buddy passed you doing 675 miles an hour faster than you!

F-15 Eagle originally manuf’d by McDonnell Douglas, but after merger 1997, current F-15 production by Boeing Defense, Space & Security. main production facility located St. Louis, Missouri. while Boeing has no new F-15 orders fm USAF, they can ramp up production again if needed.

The Future Is What It Used to Be

After all, the latest futuristic vision of America’s military leaders is — hold onto your Kevlar helmets — a “new” cold war with its former communist rivals Russia and China. And let’s add in one other aspect of that military’s future vision: wars, as they see it, are going to be fought and settled with modernized (and ever more expensive) versions of the same old weapons systems that carried us through much of the mid-twentieth century: ever more pricey aircraft carriers, tanks, and top of the line jet fighters and bombers with — hey! — maybe a few thoroughly destabilizing tactical nukes thrown in, along with plenty of updated missiles carried by planes of an ever more “stealthy” and far more expensive variety. Think: the F-35 fighter, the most expensive weapons system in history (so far) and the B-21 bomber.

For such a future, of course, today’s military hardly needs to change at all, or so our generals and admirals argue. For example, yet more ships will, of course, be needed. The Navy high command is already clamoring for 355 of them, while complaining that the record-setting $738 billion Pentagon budget for 2020 is too “tight” to support such a fleet.

Not to be outdone when it comes to complaints about “tight” budgets, the Air Force is arguing vociferously that it needs yet more billions to build a “fleet” of planes that can wage two major wars at once. Meanwhile, the Army is typically lobbying for a new armored personnel carrier (to replace the M2 Bradley) that’s so esoteric insiders joke it will have to be made of “unobtainium.”

Consider my old service, the Air Force. As one defense news site put it, “Congressional appropriators gave the Air Force [and Lockheed Martin] a holiday gift in the 2019 spending agreement… $1.87 billion for 20 additional F-35s and associated spare parts.” The new total just for 2020 is “98 aircraft — 62 F-35As, 16 F-35Bs, and 20 F-35Cs — at the whopping cost of $9.3 billion, crowning the F-35 as the biggest Pentagon procurement program ever.” And that’s not all. The Air Force (and Northrop Grumman) got another gift as well: $3 billion more to be put into its new, redundant, B-21 stealth bomber. Even much-beleaguered Boeing, responsible for the disastrous 737 MAX program, got a gift: nearly a billion dollars for the revamped F-15EX fighter, a much-modified version of a plane that first flew in the early 1970s. Yet, despite those gifts, Air Force officials continue to claim with straight faces that the service is getting the “short straw” in today’s budgetary battles in the Pentagon.

What does this all mean? One obvious answer would be: the only truly winning battles for the Pentagon are the ones for our taxpayer dollars.

聊台灣下一代先進戰機ADF(揣摩上意版)

聊台灣下一代先進戰機ADF，就要嘗試揣摩上意，也就是米國希望的是什麼？台灣短時間不可能取得F35戰機，如果選擇購買F15EX戰機，就一定要在台灣生產，雷達對地攻擊也要降低規格，如果F15EX戰機有某些技術不讓台灣軍方觸碰導致變得不可能，就會進入台灣發展下一代先進戰機ADF。基本上米國溝通良好，不至於出現需要揣摩上意，只有中国這種帝王學不讓臣子揣摩上意導致溝通不良，這種反溝通的理論才會需要揣摩上意。

The short of it is my opinion that since the Space Force is filling the old NORAD role plus newer space related concerns, it should get control of the missile defense system (anti-ICBM) and two interceptor wings of two, maybe three, small squadrons each. Cali, Alaska, NY, and Florida would be good locations for the squadrons, which compose of F15EX plus various support aircraft. The ASAT missile program should be brought back using newer components and launched off the F15EX. This would give more options than just having the current ground based ASAT system. While the F22 is great for a modern jet vs jet nation-state fight, the Eagle II has speed, payload, and avionics better suited for a interceptor and high altitude missile slinger.

The reasoning for giving them their own fighter units is so CENTCOM's Forever War can't fuck up these dedicated high altitude, anti-missile, anti-satellite, anti-spyplane units into CAS bomb trucks. They would also serve as chase planes for rocket and spaceship tests.

SAR roles related to space lauches currently goes to USAF PJs and they are good at it. So it would make sense to rotate person over in a joint ops model rather than stand up a competing outfit. Would they need their own MPs if they are on USAF bases but with their own units and buildings? Idk.

I think my Space Force F15 post on the old page was deleted. Damn.
