F-35 Lightning II

[jupiter]

Realmente somos coscientes de lo que significa que una f-100 de pueda pasar información a un EF o viceversa???

Awacs basicamente, no?

Las F100 se integran a menudo en ejercicios con Pegaso. Con eso te lo digo todo.

[Orel]

Italia va a estirar el pedido de los F-35, comprando seis o siete de en los próximos cinco años en lugar de los 10 previamente planeados... El plan no prevee una reducción de pedidos, simplemente una desaceleración lo que dejaría la decisión de la compra total de F-35 a un futuro gobierno.

En todas partes cuecen habas.

Noticia light despues de anunciar su gili gobierno progre la cancelacion total del programa.

[Milites]

Han anunciado la cancelación del programa?

[Orel]

Amenazaron con ello. Estaba claro que no. Algún recorte futuro podría ser, no cancelación, pero ya veremos.

[Milites]

Nunca han amenazado con eso, por eso me extrañaba, y de hecho la primera reducción original viene de atras, se dijeron ciento y pico. Lo que parece que van es a quedarse solo con aquellos que contractualmente están a un nivel alto de compromiso, se habla de que no llegaran a 90, e incluso de que sólo 30 en cadena se recibiran, con segutidad. Se habla de que los B de la fuerza aerea no se comprarán, de muchas cosas, pero poco o nada seguro. Tienen ya previstas las partidas presupuestarias hasta 2020, del orden de 800 M al año. Y llamar gili a un gobierno con la Lega y Salvini de vice e interior...

Massive F-35 deal covers production into 2023
15 November, 2018

Lockheed Martin has won a $22.7 billion contract to supply 255 F-35 Lightning II fighters for the three branches of the US armed services and international operators.

The contract covers 106 F-35s for the USA, comprising 64 F-35As for the air force, 26 F-35Bs for the marines, and 16 F-35Cs for the navy, a US Department of Defense contract announcement states.

In addition, 71 F-35As and 18 F-35Bs will go to international programme participants, and 60 F-35As to customers under the Foreign Military Sales (FMS) process.

Lockheed receives an initial installment of $6 billion upon signing.

The announcement states that the US aircraft will come from production lot 12. It does not state the production lot for the F-35s destined for the international participants and FMS buyers.

A rough calculation pegs the average cost per aircraft at $89 million. The deal covers F-35 production into 2023.

The work will be undertaken at several locations, with the lion’s share (57%) at Fort Worth, Texas.

The award follows drawn-out negotiations between the Department of Defense and Lockheed to lower the aircraft’s price. In September, the two parties signed a landmark deal that lowered the price of F-35As procured in low rate initial production (LRIP) lot 11 to $89.2 million, dropping below $90 million for the first time, and 5.4% better than the previous production lot.

The September deal saw the unit prices of the short-take-off vertical-landing (STOVL) F-35B drop 5.7% to $116 million, and the carrier capable F-35C’s 11.1% to $108 million.

Deliveries under the September agreement commence in 2019.

Es muy curioso, porque parecen paneles de quita y pon.

Es muy curioso, porque parecen paneles de quita y pon.

Supongo que no es buena idea marranear la pintura del F-35. También parece que el operario lleva algún tipo de calzado o funda para el calzado especial.
