Actuaciones de los Eurofighter británicos durante el mes de julio en Oriente Medio: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/upda ... inst-daesh
...
Saturday 1 July: A Reaper remotely piloted aircraft patrolled over Raqqa. A mortar was reported firing on the SDF, and the Reaper’s crew spotted its muzzle flashes from a position concealed beneath a tree. A Hellfire missile destroyed the target. :arrow: Typhoons were also active over the city, where they used a Paveway IV to silence a heavy machine-gun which was holding up an SDF advance. In northern Iraq, two Tornados assisted the Iraqi troops clearing remaining pockets of Daesh resistance in west Mosul. Paveway IVs were used to destroy two strongpoints from which the Daesh fighters were directing fire. The Tornados then responded to reports of a heavy machine-gun team and a group of suicide bombers preparing to attack the Iraqis – a third position was duly destroyed with a Paveway IV.

Sunday 2 July: Mixed pairs of Tornados and :arrow: Typhoons operated over both Mosul and Raqqa. In Mosul, the Iraqi ground forces encountered three groups of snipers – all three positions, plus another Daesh-held building, were successfully struck with Paveways. In similar fashion, Paveway IVs were used against two terrorist firing points in Raqqa.

Monday 3 July: Two Royal Air Force Reaper remotely piloted aircraft conducted armed reconnaissance over Raqqa. One assisted Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) who had come under attack from a heavy machine-gun on the top floor of a building. A Hellfire missile through the building’s roof silenced the terrorist fire. The second Reaper used two Hellfires in a successful attack on a Daesh headquarters for foreign fighters. A mixed Tornado and :arrow: Typhoon pair were also active over the city. The SDF, advancing into the centre of Raqqa, encountered a strongly defended building. Our aircraft demolished it with a single Paveway IV guided bomb. Two flights of Tornados operated over northern Iraq the same day. One flight used three Paveway IVs to destroy a group of three workshops producing truck-bombs near Hawijah. The second flight supported Iraqi troops in the Old City of Mosul, and conducted strikes with Paveways and Brimstone missiles on seven Daesh positions, including six machine-gun teams.

Wednesday 5 July: :arrow: Typhoons continued to support the Iraqi troops in west Mosul. Exceptionally careful coordination was needed given the very short distances between the Iraqi forces and the Daesh positions, but the two Typhoons were able to destroy seven strongpoints, including two with medium machine-guns, each struck by a Paveway IV. Tornados kept watch over the latest SDF advances in Raqqa, and used a Paveway IV to deal with a sniper team.

Thursday 6 July: :arrow: Two Royal Air Force Typhoons, armed with Paveway IV bombs, operated over Raqqa. Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) encountered a large building on the southern edge of the city, close to the bank of the Euphrates, which was heavily defended by Daesh extremists. Two Paveways struck the building and brought an end to the terrorists’ activity. A mixed pair of a Typhoon and a Tornado were also active over Raqqa, and these aircraft bombed a sniper position which had been firing persistently at the SDF. A second mixed Tornado/Typhoon pair provided similar support to the Iraqi forces clearing the Old City in Mosul. Attacks with Brimstone missiles dealt with three Daesh positions, whilst a Paveway IV was used to destroy a medium machine-gun team.

Friday 7 July: Tornados flew further missions over Mosul, delivering two Paveway IV attacks which eliminated a sniper team and another group of terrorists firing on Iraqi troops. Further south in Iraq, a Daesh-held building had been identified in the countryside some 25 miles north-west of Bayji, with an armed truck hidden inside. Tornados demolished the building with a direct hit from a Paveway IV. :arrow: Two more such weapons were used in attacks by Typhoons on a pair of defensive positions which the SDF had come up against in Raqqa.

Saturday 8 July: :arrow: Typhoons conducted attacks with four Paveway IVs, eliminating a light machine-gun position and three other terrorist strongpoints. Tornados meanwhile continued to support the SDF in Raqqa, striking a Daesh position there.

Sunday 9 July: :arrow: Typhoons hit a further target in Raqqa, whilst two mixed pairs of Tornados and Typhoons assisted the Iraqis as they fought at very close quarters in Mosul; our aircraft dealt with two snipers and two Daesh-held buildings. Prime Minister Abadi visited the city to mark its liberation.

Wednesday 12 July: A mixed Tornado and :arrow: Typhoon provided support, and delivered successful attacks with Paveway IV guided bombs on three buildings from which terrorists had been attempting to prolong the fight. Over Raqqa, a second mixed Tornado and Typhoon pair flew overwatch as the Syrian Democratic Forces continued their advance through the city; our aircraft used Paveway IVs to engage three Daesh positions which opened fire on the SDF, and successfully silenced each threat in turn.

Thursday 13 July: Royal Air Force continued to support operations by the Iraqi security forces to eradicate any remaining Daesh fighters in Mosul. Two Tornados used a Paveway IV guided bomb to destroy a building occupied by extremists on the west bank of the Tigris, in the Old City of Mosul.

Friday 14 July: With Mosul largely liberated, the major focus for RAF missions has been to assist the Syrian Democratic Forces fighting in Raqqa. :arrow: Two Typhoons used a Paveway IV to destroy the entrance to a tunnel dug beneath an area in the west of the city. The following day, Tornados and Typhoons utilised eleven Paveway IV bombs against mortar positions in Raqqa, whilst a pair of Tornados used a Brimstone missile against a sniper holding out in western Mosul.

Sunday 16 July: In the course of surveillance over Raqqa, a Reaper delivered a Hellfire missile attack which killed a small group of terrorists armed with rocket-propelled grenades, who had been firing on the Syrian Democratic Forces from a rooftop. Tornados and :arrow: Typhoons were also very active over the city, and used a Brimstone missile to attack one terrorist firing point, and Paveway IVs to deal with three sniper teams and two other positions defended by Daesh extremists.

Wednesday 19 July: In northern Iraq, intelligence had identified a warehouse near Hawijah in which large quantities of homemade explosives were being stored by Daesh. A flight of RAF Tornados attacked the building with two Paveway IV guided bombs, and demolished it. A mixed pair of one Tornado and :arrow: one Typhoon meanwhile provided close air support to the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) fighting to clear the terrorists from Raqqa. A coalition surveillance aircraft identified a Daesh defensive position, and our aircraft conducted a successful attack with a Brimstone missile. A terrorist command post was also identified within the city, and this was struck with two Paveway IVs.

Thursday 20 July: Operations over Raqqa continued, when a :arrow: Typhoon mission assisted SDF engaged in combat with a group of extremists firing from a building; this was hit with a single Paveway IV which eliminated the threat to the SDF. In northern Iraq, coalition surveillance aircraft had located a number of terrorists on a wooded island in the Tigris, several miles south of Qayyarah, along with their transport – a boat and two vehicles – on the riverbanks. Two Tornados bombed the terrorists on the island with a pair of Paveway IVs, whilst a mixed Tornado and Typhoon pair destroyed the boat and vehicles with Brimstone missiles.

Friday 21 July: A pair of Tornados bombed the top of a grain silo in Raqqa, where a group of Daesh were stationed in a combined observation and sniper post. In western Iraq, a mixed Tornado and Typhoon pair used a Brimstone missile to eliminate an anti-aircraft machine gun that was concealed under cover, south-east of Rawah. Our aircraft then flew north-east to an area south of Qayyarah, where a coalition surveillance aircraft was keeping watch on a truck armed with a recoilless anti-tank gun. This was destroyed using a Brimstone.

Saturday 22 July: A Tornado mission used a single Paveway IV to destroy an engineering vehicle which terrorists had attempted to conceal some miles north of Tall Afar. On Sunday and Monday, the RAF operations focused on supporting the SDF in Raqqa.

Sunday 23 July: Three flights of Tornados and :arrow: Typhoons conducted missions over the city, in which they delivered successful attacks on six Daesh positions, using Paveways IV bombs and Brimstone missiles.

Monday 24 July: Three more Paveway IVs were dropped, targeting a further three terrorist firing points.

Wednesday 26 July: A Royal Air Force Reaper flew an armed reconnaissance mission over eastern Syria. A group of armed terrorists were observed boarding a truck, and the Reaper’s crew tracked the vehicle as it headed west along a desert road, some 20 miles south-south-east of Hasakah, before engaging with a Hellfire missile once it was in an isolated location. The missile scored a direct hit which destroyed the truck.

Thursday 27 July: A mixed pair of a Tornado and a :arrow: Typhoon, based at RAF Akrotiri and supported by a Voyager air refuelling tanker, flew overwatch for Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) advancing inside Raqqa. The SDF came under mortar fire from a terrorist position, but a Paveway IV attack removed this threat. Another Paveway IV similarly dealt with a sniper position which was encountered by the SDF two hours later.

Friday 28 July: Another mixed Tornado and :arrow: Typhoon pair assisted the SDF in Raqqa, and a Paveway IV was used to destroy a terrorist position.

Sunday 30 July: A further mixed pair of aircraft conducted successful Paveway strikes when the SDF came under fire from two snipers as they continued to clear areas of Raqqa from Daesh control.

1 misión, 2 cazas, 7 objetivos de oportunidad destruídos. Y aún les quedaba otra bomba.

Y podrían haber llevado dos bombas más cada uno, pero merece llevar depósitos, no es normal tantos objetivos en una sola misión. Y pueden atacarlos todos simultáneamente.

Los Eurofighters británicos alcanzan las 1.000 misiones contra el Daesh, lanzando 850 Paveway IV: http://www.defenseworld.net/news/20244/ ... eway_Bombs
Our Bureau
05:53 PM, August 11, 2017

Eurofighter Typhoons Belonging to the US-led Anti-Daesh coalition flew 1000 sorties, dropping 850 Paveway 4 bombs in Iraq and Syria since 2015 as part of operation SHADER.

SHADER is the operational code name given to the contribution of the United Kingdom in the ongoing military intervention against IS militants. The operation began in Iraq on 26 September 2014, following a formal request for assistance by the Iraqi government.

Each mission consists of a pair of Typhoons and the operational activity equates to over 10,000 flying hours, during which the aircraft has delivered more than 850 Paveway IV weapons.

As a multi-role aircraft, Typhoon offers Air to Air operations with precision strike Air to Surface operations using Paveway IV laser-guided weapon and 27mm cannon. The Litening III Advanced Targeting Pod generates a fidelity of coordinates that permits immediate self-strike capability, significantly reducing the time to prosecute time-sensitive targets.

An RAF Spokesman said, “Use of the Paveway IV GPS precision-guided munition together with its advanced sensors have enabled Typhoon to be considered almost the platform of choice for operations against the targets around Raqqa."

“One of the fundamental reasons why is because of the weapons load Typhoon is able to carry. It can fly with four Paveway IVs without any detrimental impact on its Air to Air capability, when other aircraft in the Coalition forces usually carry just two. Therefore it’s able to strike, if required, four targets simultaneously.” The RAF spokesperson added.

“It’s worth noting that within 24 hours of the decision to deploy Typhoon, aircraft were striking targets in Syria.” He added.

A recent 1(F) Squadron post-Operational report states that Typhoon has employed Paveway IV effectively in all of its modes, including GPS, Laser, Desired impact angle or azimuth.

Más sobre los británicos, pero ahora le toca el turno al despliegue en Rumanía: https://www.flightglobal.com/news/artic ... ic-440149/
11 August, 2017 SOURCE: FlightGlobal.com BY: Craig Hoyle Bucharest
...
Headquartered at RAF Leeming in Yorkshire, the expeditionary unit has drawn together just over 140 personnel from more than 20 sites in the UK, including the service’s Typhoon main operating base at Coningsby in Lincolnshire, and others including Brize Norton, Lossiemouth and Valley.

Four or five pilots are included in this total at any one time, and are replaced around once a month. Primarily drawn from 3 Sqn at Coningsby, they are augmented by one pilot from elsewhere within the service’s Typhoon force.

A combined six A400M, A330 Voyager tanker/transport and Lockheed Martin C-130J ?ights were required to deploy the bulk of personnel and equipment, while around 30 ISO shipping containers arrived by sea. Ground support vehicles such as generators and fuel and fre trucks were also transported from the UK.

“I brought a mini air force, and it shows that you can deploy and operate the Typhoon successfully,” says Coe. “You don’t have to have hundreds of computers and hundreds of technicians – we can do it from quite an austere base.”

Due to a perceived high risk of its aircraft being affected by foreign object damage (FOD), the RAF also brought a runwaysweeping vehicle and a pair of spare Eurojet EJ200 engines for its Typhoons, which have not been required.
...
The RAF deployed Tranche 1 aircraft which have passed through the EP1 enhancement programme, and due to the EAW construct they are ?own without squadron markings. Flight Fleets Analyzer records the single-seat aircraft as aged between 10.1 and 11.4 years. Among the earliest of the UK’s Eurofghters, they will be retained in use until at least 2030, with the air policing role likely to remain a priority.

“Our serviceability has been good out here,” Hanson says, pointing to the strength of the unit’s logistics planning. While two of its aircraft are “standing Q”, the detachment’s other Typhoons conduct training ?ights with assets from Romania and nearby nations, and such activities also take place during “off” weeks. Coe says a total of around 24 to 28 ?ights are made per week.

Air policing duties are tasked from a NATO combined air operations centre in Torrejon, Spain, via a command and control centre in Bucharest. Hanson says the way in which such missions are allocated and monitored is exactly the same as they would be for a Typhoon pilot scrambling in the UK.
...
Typhoons have also trained with Bulgarian MiG-29s and Hungarian Saab Gripens, plus Greek F-16s and US Air National Guard Boeing F-15Cs from Romania’s Campia Turzii base.

“We’re probably having a greater effect with our strategic messaging during those defence engagement weeks,” Hanson says of the joint training activities.

With the work largely having involved within-visual-range manoeuvring, he notes: “Typhoon has been shown off to its greatest capability.”

JOINT TRAINING

Using a Rafael Litening III targeting pod, the aircraft have also taken part in close air support training involving the US Air Force, US Marine Corps and Romanian military, and during air/maritime integration training with a NATO naval task group. Its pilots will also train with their Turkish air force counterparts.

Os recuerdo que esa EP1 es la mejora "Evolution Package 1" que llevan los T1 de todos los socios y que es principalmente el Drop 3. Mejora software en general, destacando el radar con el software R2Q, y el MIDS y el DASS, más algunos cambios de hardware acercándolos a la T2 del CORP (Common Obsolescence Removal Programme). No confundir con la EP1 de T2 que fue distinta. :wink:

UK to drive down Typhoon operating costs to match F-16

RAF and industry partners BAE Systems and Leonardo is expected to reduce the Typhoon's per-hour operating cost by 30-40%.

His goal is for the initiative to eventually result in the Typhoon having a per-hour operating cost "equivalent to a [Lockheed] F-16".

Actuaciones de los Eurofighter británicos durante el mes de agosto en Oriente Medio: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/upda ... inst-daesh
...
Wednesday 2 August: :arrow: Typhoons provided further close air support to the SDF; they found themselves coming under sustained heavy machine-gun and sniper fire from a building in Raqqa, but were able to pinpoint the Daesh position, allowing our aircraft to attack with a Paveway IV.

Friday 4 August: :arrow: An improvised ammunition factory had been identified in a large single-storey building in Raqqa, and this was struck with two Paveway IVs from Typhoons. The Typhoons then conducted two further strikes with Paveways against sniper positions, while a second Typhoon flight dealt with a third sniper team.

Wednesday 9 August: :arrow: A Typhoon flight saw action over Raqqa; the Syrian Democratic Forces reported coming under fire from a large building against which our aircraft conducted a successful attack using two Paveway IV guided bombs. The following day, a mixed Tornado and Typhoon pair operated over northern Iraq. A terrorist mortar team was identified near Tal Afar, and struck with a Paveway IV. In Raqqa, the Syrian Democratic Forces encountered a Daesh defensive position, but this was dealt with, again using a Paveway IV, by a second mixed Tornado and Typhoon pair.

Friday 11 August: :arrow: A mixed pair continued to provide support to the SDF and destroyed a further defensive position in Raqqa with a Paveway.

Saturday 12 August: :arrow: Typhoons maintained a presence over Raqqa over the weekend, destroying a Daesh headquarters building, then conducting attacks on Sunday which eliminated three more terrorist positions in the city, including a strongpoint adjacent to the now-abandoned Daesh “Immigration Office”, and machine-gun and mortar teams.

Monday 14 August: :arrow: A flight Typhoons destroyed a Daesh position in Raqqa with Paveway IVs. A mixed Tornado and Typhoon pair also patrolled over the city and they conducted Paveway IV attacks, which destroyed a sniper team and two machine-guns. The aircraft moved off towards the east of Syria, where a command post that was controlling truck-bomb attacks had been identified 40 miles south of Al Hasakah. This was destroyed with a further Paveway.

Wednesday 16 August: :arrow: Typhoons bombed another Daesh position in Raqqa, whilst Tornados struck a mortar near Kisik in northern Iraq.

Thursday 17 August: With the Iraqi forces advancing on Tal Afar, :arrow: a mixed Tornado and Typhoon pair provided close air support. A coalition surveillance aircraft spotted a terrorist mortar, and was able to guide our aircraft into a successful attack with a Paveway IV. A second mixed pair maintained operations over Raqqa, and used Paveways to destroy one sniper and two machine-gun teams.

Friday 18 August: Tornados were tasked with the destruction of a heavily booby-trapped building discovered in eastern Syria, south of Al Hasakah, which was too dangerous to approach. The building was destroyed with a Paveway which safely detonated the concealed explosives. Over Raqqa, a mixed pair of aircraft silenced a sniper firing on the Syrian Democratic Forces.

Saturday 19 August: :arrow: A Typhoon flight faced a challenging target – a fast-moving truck carrying a group of terrorists across the desert in Iraq, west of Bayji. Despite the vehicle’s speed, a Paveway IV was guided accurately onto the target, destroying it. Tornados continued to provide close air support to the Syrian Democratic Forces in Raqqa, destroying a terrorist strongpoint.

Sunday 20 August: :arrow: Typhoons bombed a further Daesh position in Raqqa. In eastern Syria, Tornados targeted a group of terrorists deployed near the border with Iraq – two Paveways hit their trucks and killed several of the extremists. Meanwhile, two mixed flights of Tornados and Typhoons assisted the Iraqi forces around Tall Afar; Paveway IVs destroyed two mortar and rocket teams, an anti-tank missile team, and a group armed with rocket-propelled grenades, whilst a Brimstone missile accounted for a small group of terrorists caught manoeuvring in the open.

:arrow: Two mixed pairs of Royal Air Force Typhoons and Tornados supported Iraqi forces fighting around Tal Afar in northern Iraq on Monday 21 August. East of the city, Brimstone missiles were used to destroy two pick-up trucks carrying terrorists, while an attack with a Paveway IV guided bomb destroyed a car-bomb to the south-west.

On Wednesday 23 August, :arrow: a Typhoon flight used Paveway IVs to destroy two defensive positions in Raqqa, from which Daesh extremists were firing on the Syrian Democratic Forces. Tornados bombed two groups of terrorists spotted on foot to the north-east of Tal Afar, while a mixed flight used a Brimstone to destroy an armed truck hidden under a building’s overhang on the western edge of the city. The following day, :arrow: Typhoons and Tornados struck a further four positions in Raqqa with Paveways, including a sniper and a machine-gun team. Typhoons and Tornados were also very busy around Tal Afar: Paveway IVs were used to target one large and two small buildings comprising a truck-bomb factory, and five other positions from which terrorists armed with suicide vests, rocket-propelled grenades, a mortar and a heavy machine-gun were operating. In addition, two Brimstone missiles were fired successfully at a truck-bomb, and a mechanical excavator used to construct defensive positions.

:arrow: A mixed Typhoon and Tornado pair delivered three further Paveway attacks in Tal Afar on Friday 25 August, hitting two mortar teams and a Daesh-held building. Over Raqqa, our aircraft continued to support the Syrian Democratic Forces, and used Paveway IVs against two sniper positions and another terrorist strongpoint. The focus for RAF missions remained on Raqqa over the weekend. :arrow: A mixed flight bombed four sniper teams there on Saturday 26 August, whilst on Sunday, three RAF flights used Paveway IVs to attack a total of ten Daesh positions in the city.

Raqqa operations continued on Monday 28 August, when :arrow: Typhoons hit three more terrorist-held buildings. In Iraq, Iraqi forces engaged Daesh forces positioned several miles north of Tal Afar, and our aircraft provide close air support, conducting attacks on ten buildings occupied by the extremists.

Digo yo que "pinpoint" se referirá sólo a dar datos del objetivo (coordenadas...), no a señalizarlo con láser. ¿Harán esa comunicación por radio "normal"? Digo porque cuesta creer que den a "ajenos" datos confidenciales de sistemas de comunicaciones OTAN.

Sobre la participación de nuestros Eurofighter en Red Flag: tras el especial de la RAA que puse aquí el 3 de junio (página 540 del tema), mirando el FMG he visto esto tuyo, Tercio Norte, del 10 de julio:
Este mes [julio] en avion revue hay una entrevista muy interesante sobre el EFA y la Red Flag al Coronel Manuel Ojeda, a grandes rasgos:

El reparto de las misiones fue 35% A/A 65% A/S.

En cuanto a las misiones A/S:
"yo diria que se ha demostrado un nivel excelente, por encima de lo previsto"
"El porcentaje de exito se puede considerar del 100%, ya que los dos fallos reportados, fueron debidos a procedimiento, por lo que no se pueden achacar al equipo.

En las misiones A/A:
"podian cumplir la mision a/a, manteniendo el area asignada libre de amenazas del bando red con facilidad y con solo dos aviones, donde ellos solian utilizar cuatro f15 para realizar la misma mision
[editado: parecido a eso nos contaron de la evaluación surcoreana hace la tira]

En cuanto a las defensas sam:
"en las medidas de efectividad calculadas para evaluar la actuacion de nuestros pilotos (tacticas y tecnicas) y la efectividad de los equipos de autoproteccion contra amenazas SBAD (surface based air defenses) se habia establecido en un 75% de supervivencia, ya que algunas misiones obligaban a las formaciones a entrar en el anillo de las amenazas. Alcanzando este 75% lo considerabamos "condicion aceptable". Pues bien, el resultado final ha sido de un 82'76%, por lo que las tripulaciones han "aprobado" con notable."

Sobre lo último, recuerdo del 10 de junio:
Uno de los primeros retos a que nos enfrentaríamos sería el de la participación, en septiembre de 2016, en el ejercicio Nube Gris [ejercicio español de guerra electrónica] con los aviones P1EB y unos pilotos con el curso recién completado. Durante el ejercicio se afianzaron los procedimientos estandarizados sobre reacciones defensivas ante amenazas superficie-aire practicando maniobras tipo level-s y slants-s, comprobando su eficacia en combinación con la dispensa de chaff, bengalas y Towed Decoy [señuelo remolcado]. Estas prácticas nos permitieron conocer de primera mano las capacidades de la nueva “cinta” [nuevo software global P1E] y sobre todo el comportamiento de la DASS (conjunto de equipos de guerra electrónica) del P1EB que, hemos de decir ha tenido un muy buen resultado durante el Red Flag.
...
Estábamos más que iluminados por los radares de alerta temprana y de búsqueda de los SAM... Nosotros seguíamos adentrándonos en la boca del lobo. Cada vez teníamos más SAM enemigos buscando derribarnos. Me dio tiempo a pensar en que “una vez más los yanquis siempre le ponen al EFA el objetivo más alejado, y más metido en toda la cebolla defensiva”, pero para nosotros era un reto que pretendíamos superar... Cuando empezaban a saltar los avisos en el alertador de que los SAM estaban disparando misiles contra nosotros, reaccionamos instintivamente acorde a nuestros SOP (procedimientos estándar de escuadrón) y maniobrando en función de la amenaza, mientras tirábamos chaff y bengalas (señuelos radar e infrarrojos)...
