  8. Trovate Armi Nucleari In Irak!

    in Discussioni a tema

    Inviato

    OK.. John, sono d'accordo con te quanto al fatto che il forum non sia il posto più adatto per parlare su questioni politiche...

    Faccio solo un piccolo commento e, da parte mia, chiudo la discussione.

    Bisogna considerare anche altri fattori economici. L'industria militare USA e mondiale sicuramente ha tratto grossi vantaggi da questo conflitto e ne trarrà ancora a lungo. Senza guerre a cosa servono le armi? Molti programmi USA che avevano i fondi bloccati hanno giovato del conflitto, non pensi?

    Comunque, ribadisco che concordo che sia inutile discutere questioni politiche e opinioni personali su questo forum.

    Grazie ancora John!

    UN REPORT NON CONFERMATO...

     

    Nuclear arms reportedly found in Iraq

     

    Baghdad, Iraq, Jul. 21 (UPI) -- Iraqi security reportedly discovered three missiles carrying nuclear heads concealed in a concrete trench northwest of Baghdad, official sources said Wednesday.

     

    The official daily al-Sabah quoted the sources as saying the missiles were discovered in trenches near the city of Tikrit, the hometown of ousted Iraqi President Saddam Hussein.

     

    "The three missiles were discovered by chance when the Iraqi security forces captured former Baath party official Khoder al-Douri who revealed during interrogation the location of the missiles saying they carried nuclear heads," the sources said.

     

    They pointed out that the missiles were actually discovered in the trenches lying under six meters of concrete and designed in a way to unable sophisticated sensors from discovering nuclear radiation.

     

    The sources said al-Douri, who is related to former Vice Chairman of the Iraq Revolution Council and Saddam's right-hand man Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri, was captured after Iraqi police intercepted an e-mail message in which he set a meeting with another former Baath official.

     

    The report could not be authenticated by the interior ministry or the national security department, but the paper noted Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshiar Zibari made a surprise request recently to Mohammed el-Baradei, head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, to resume inspections for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.

    Ops! Ma questo è europeo! EADS MAKO!

    Sembra che ci sia um mercato per circa 3000 aerei di questo genere...

    Credo proprio che John abbia ragione: i grossi produttori di aerei militari americani si butterano senza dubbio su questo mercato...

    Il MAKO assomiglia ad un F-5 aggiornato. Sarà che anche la sua storia assomiglierà a quella dell'F-5? Pirvate venture destinata al mercato estero?

    Salve ragazzi!

     

    Abbiamo già votato per quanto riguarda gli aerei preferiti e abbiamo anche discusso il perché...

     

    Vorrei proporre, adesso, una specie di concorso fotografico...

     

    Postate la vostra foto preferita (parlo di foto di aerei militari, ovvio! :D ).

  17. AIM-9X - Primo Lancio Guidato

    in Armi aria-aria

    Inviato

    Ok, John, hai ragione... (come sempre!)

    :blushing::blushing::blushing:

    Si tratta del terzo lancio da un F-16!

    Però è il primo con l'uso del JHMCS...

    Inoltre, l'F-15 e l'F/A-18C e D hanno già operativo l'AIM9-X...

    Comunque, riproduco il texto e la fonte, poiché rimane il dubbio sull'integrazione sull'F-22 (anzi, si parla di F/A-22) e F-35. Sai perché?

     

    In first guided launch of AIM-9X, F-16 kills subscale drone

    Aerospace Daily & Defense Report07/19/2004

     

    The first guided launch of the AIM-9X Sidewinder air-to-air missile was successfully conducted July 8 at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., the Air Force reported July 16.

     

    Maj. Bill Peris, a test pilot with the 416th Flight Test Squadron, fired the short-range dogfight missile from an F-16, scoring a kill against a Navy subscale drone, the Air Force said. It was the third AIM-9X launch from an F-16, the first two having been unguided.

     

    Peris was flying at medium altitude in an operationally representative engagement, the Air Force said. It said a C-130 crew, taking off from Naval Air Weapons Station Point Mugu, Calif., released the target drone over a test range at China Lake Naval Air Weapons Center, Calif., where the test mission took place.

     

    Peris said the missile performed as expected and proved its combat effectiveness against the acquired target, according to an Air Force announcement.

     

    The AIM-9X uses the Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System (JHMCS), which will allow pilots to acquire and track targets beyond their line of sight and engage targets not possible with previous AIM-9 variants, the Air Force said. It said Peris acquired the drone and tracked it using the JHMCS, which also is under test at Edwards for integration with the AIM-9X.

     

    "The addition of the AIM-9X to the F-16 arsenal creates a lethal combination that will make it more than a match for any adversary," Peris said in the announcement. "The aircraft has always excelled in the visual arena, and with this weapon it will be untouchable."

     

    The third shot is one of a series of tests designed to clear the AIM-9X for operational use on the F-16, the Air Force said, adding that the missions are part of the F-16 M4+ software update test project at Edwards. The Air Force said M4+ is an improved avionics system that will be used in upgrading about 600 F-16s.

     

    The Edwards test team will continue to clear the F-16 flight envelope for the AIM-9X, with the next guided launch planned for late summer. "We're in low rate initial production" on the AIM-9X, Sara Hammond, a spokeswoman for Raytheon Co., said July 16. "We're getting ready to go into full rate production later this year."

     

    Full rate production was approved in May by the Navy, the lead agency for the program. John Young, assistant secretary of the Navy for research, development and acquisition, signed the Acquisition Decision Memorandum for the program on May 15 (DAILY, May 1 .

     

    Full production won't begin until fall because of last year's grounding of the QF-4 target drone, which in turn delayed the AIM-9X's operational evaluation (DAILY, July 30). In response to the delay, the Navy awarded Raytheon a fourth LRIP contract worth $82 million last month (DAILY, April 13).

     

    The AIM-9X has been integrated onto the Air Force F-15C and Navy F/A-18C/D. In addition to the F-16, it also will be carried by the Navy F/A-18E/F. Integration on the Air Force's F/A-22 and the F-35 is expected later. The Navy and Air Force plan to produce a total of about 10,000 AIM-9X missiles through 2018.

     

    The Air Force declared initial operational capability with the AIM-9X in November 2003 at Elmendorf Air Force Base, Alaska. The Navy achieved IOC for the AIM-9X with Marine squadrons at Iwakuni, Japan, in February 2004.

     

    In the U.S., the AIM-9X is replacing the AIM-9M. South Korea also plans to use AIM-9Xs on its Boeing F-15Ks, and Poland will use them on its F-16C/Ds. Denmark also has expressed interest in the system. Legacy AIM-9s are operated by 40 nations.

  20. AIM-9X - Primo Lancio Guidato

    Salve raga!

     

    L'8 Luglio, sulla base di Edwards, è stato effettuato il primo lancio guidato di questo nuovo missile da un F-16. Il bersaglio, però, non era della USAF! Come sempre, la NAVY vuole il missile per prima... Il bersaglio era un drone della NAVY.

    Il primo aereo, comunque, ad utilizzare l'AIM-9X sarà l'F-16 (con Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System - JHMCS). Poi verrano aggiornati F/A-18E-F e F-15. Per l'F-22 e F-35, l'integrazione averrà solo in futuro.

    Mi domando: Non doveva essere uno dei missile standard dell'F-22?

    E allora perchè sarà la NAVY ad averlo in linea per prima? Sembra che i primi lotti di seri saranno per la NAVY....

    Fattibile, senza dubbio...

    Qualche dubbio rimane nei costi e dimensioni del missile...

     

    Credo, comunque, che sarebbe più facile seguire la formula russa: più versioni dello stesso missile.... AIM-120 radar-guidato e AIM-120 IR con data-link lanciati in coppia.Sicuramente i costi sarebbero inferiori!

  22. Ef-2000 Senza Cannone?

    in Caccia

    Inviato

    Sembra che la RAF non dia grande importanza al cannone sull'EF-2000...

     

    Dal secondo lotto di produzione, infatti, gli EF-2000 RAF non avranno più questa arma a bordo...

     

    Siete d'accordo su questa scelta?

    Sapete perchè hanno preso questa decisione?

     

    Io, personalmente, ritengo ancora prematuro eliminare il cannone. È vero che la tendenza dei combattimenti aerei sia l'aumento delle distanze, ma esiste sempre la remota possibilità di un dogfight. Inoltre, bersagli meno maneggevoli, quali missili cruise, possono essere abbattuti ad un costo molto inferiore rispetto ai missili AA.

    Northrop Grumman's "forgotten" advanced tactical fighter leaves museum and could be heading for bomber contest

     

    Northrop Grumman's long-abandoned YF-23A advanced tactical fighter (ATF) is emerging as the possible basis for a surprise contender for the US Air Force's interim bomber requirement.

     

    The company recently retrieved the second of the two YF-23A "Black Widow II" prototypes (PAV-2) from the Western Museum of Flight in Hathorne, California, ostensibly for repainting for display at a forthcoming Northrop Grumman-backed air fair in August. However, the restoration is also thought to include several changes, including new cockpit displays and other possible cosmetic modifications.

     

    Northrop Grumman confirms restoration of the General Electric YF120-powered PAV-2 is taking place, but declines to comment on whether the revived YF-23A is linked to any USAF proposal. But sources close to the studies, which were kicked off by the USAF's recently issued request for information, say Northrop Grumman now includes a YF-23-based "regional" bomber concept among its raft of proposals and that the USAF "is interested".

     

    Until now, the company's offerings are known to include an upgraded B-2, X-47B unmanned combat air vehicle (UCAV) -based studies and possible designs based on its quiet supersonic technology programme. The distinctive, rhomboid-winged YF-23A lost out to Lockheed Martin's YF-22 in the ATF competition in 1991, but proved a valuable technology testbed for Northrop Grumman, which gave it all-aspect stealth. The company says it "drew upon a wide range of experience for its response to the interim bomber RFI, and the YF-23 is one".

     

    Other contenders include a Boeing's B-1R (regional) re-engined bomber studies and a larger D-model version of its X-45 UCAV, while Lockheed Martin is considering various derivatives of the F/A-22. These include single- and two-seat, re-winged and tailless versions dubbed the FB-22, the larger of which would be able to cruise at Mach 1.8 and have 75% of the range of the B-2 carrying up to 30 115kg (250lb) small-diameter bombs. Lockheed Martin is also understood to be offering a variety of other manned designs, including a flying-wing concept.

     

    The interim bomber is intended to bridge the gap between the current bomber fleet and a next-generation aircraft planned for 2037. The present timetable calls for a development effort to start in 2006, with an initial operating capability by 2015.
