Flaggy 1,752 Report post Posted March 26 Stupisce un po’ che la RAF piazzi un ordine per rimpiazzare i suoi E-3D o Sentry AEW.MK1 che dir si voglia, che sono più recenti (fine anni ottanta) e meglio motorizzati dei più attempati E-3B e C di USAF e NATO, per i quali invece si fa collezione di upgrade per tirare a campare e di rendering, cancellazioni e posticipazioni per quanto concerne i sostituti. Prima o poi si dovrà spendere una barca di soldi per rimpiazzare anche quelli ma, visto che si parla di rimotorizzazioni, mi sa che il poi sarà molto poi...

TT-1 Pinto 742 Report post Posted June 25 (edited) Prime missioni operative degli F-35 britannici in Medio Oriente ... Quote Britain's new F35 fighter jets have been used on operations for the first time, Defence Secretary Penny Mordaunt has revealed.

The six stealth fighters based in Cyprus have conducted a total of 14 operational sorties over Syria and Iraq following a six-week training deployment in the country from May. Speaking after sitting in the cockpit of the one of jets, Ms Mordaunt said: "I am very proud that these are now flying in defence and are projecting the UK's national interest. This is a fantastic new aircraft, it is amazing. It's doing so well out here on these operations ... it's a really historic moment." ... telegraph.co.uk ...

zander 95 Report post Posted July 17 Il ministero della difesa ha l'intenzione di sviluppare aerei ipersonici. Per tale motivo, il MoD ha lanciato un programma di studio del valore di 10 milioni di sterline per studiare motori capaci di spingere simili aeroplani. Il MoD sostiene che sta monitorando quanto fanno i russi e che molte tecnologie già esistono. L'azienda britannica Reaction Engines svilupperà lo studio, insieme a Rolls Royce e BAE Systems. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2019/07/17/raf-develop-hypersonic-planes-could-top-speeds-3000mph-dodge/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TT-1 Pinto 742 Report post Posted July 31 Dieci anni dopo l'uscita degli ultimi Nimrod MR2 ... la RAF riprenderà le operazioni di pattugliamento sul mare ... Quote The UK Royal Air Force (RAF) is on track to restore its lapsed maritime patrol aircraft capability within the next nine months, according to Air Commodore Rich Barrow, senior responsible owner for the service’s Boeing P-8 and E-7 acquisitions. Speaking at the Royal International Air Tattoo on 19 July, one week after the RAF's first P-8A Poseidon airframe had made its flight debut, Barrow said: "From 1 April next year we are going to have UK maritime patrol capability operating from UK soil for the first time in a number of years." The UK's first two P-8A Poseidon MRA1 crews have already completed training at the US Navy's (USN's) NAS Jacksonville site in Florida, while other members of its personnel have retained maritime patrol experience via Project Seedcorn placements with the USN and other nations over the past decade. ... flightglobal.com ...
