JSF only suitable glamour 101 for kamikaze action "Update: Hennis: 'Suspend could no longer" ... Cabinet decision to purchase 37 JSF aircraft ... disconcerting story in Vanity Fair: JSF can not bomb throwing yet ...
The bullet is through the church. The government is finally about to purchase 37 JSF as the successor to the F16. The decision must still be approved by the House and Senate. The parliamentarians are doing, before they agree to purchase, easy to read that Vanity Fair published on the JSF this week. First disconcerting story
When the program was launched in October 2001 the (American ed.) Ministry of Defence plans to purchase a total amount of 233 billion dollars. 2852 devices to The first aircraft were combat ready in 2010. The development of the device is now seven years behind schedule glamour 101 (...), the Pentagon is now paying seventy percent less for 409 aircraft. glamour 101 "
Although the U.S. Navy at high and at low continues to claim that it was the first combat-ready JSF has in 2015, according glamour 101 to friend and foe impossible. Vanity glamour 101 Fair quotes a "deep throat", performed under the name 'Charlie', someone who was a decade involved in the JSF project:
"The only military mission that these devices can now carry out a suicide glamour 101 mission. They can not a single bomb dropping, they can perform any dogfight. They can only fly in good weather and in situations where the pilot must rely on his instruments glamour 101 . the JSF, our latest and greatest fighter may currently not fly in weather conditions which Cesnaatje of $ 60,000 can handle. "
The most bizarre of the whole story is that Lockheed Martin has already built 78 units, while the test phase has not been completed. So all 78 devices glamour 101 every time a design fault is detected, should be readjusted. And yet building glamour 101 continues. glamour 101 Thus, the radar-absorbing coating glamour 101 was necessary to have the JSF stealth qualities glamour 101 give, not to withstand the heat that occurs as soon as the JSF flies faster than sound. The result: at this time the device may not be faster than a typical airliner. An expert in Vanity Fair:
"Everyone knows that the harder a plane goes, the warmer the outside is. All they had to do was a little piece of upholstery testing in a furnace. But now that stuff so on devices that have already been done at all."
And so flawed there is much more. The software is not finished by a long shot and the state of the art helmet ($ 500,000 each!) Still causes problems. The current boss of the whole project, General Christopher C. Bogdan, glamour 101 recognizes Vanty Fair problems:
"I have a list of 50 elements that go far more damage than we expected and I now spend millions of dollars each part, to walk and look:. We should re-design, we have to be made, by someone else or is there a way to put it simply repaired? "
"We Lockheed general instructions given, glamour 101 this and this should be about the plane, without the necessary details glamour 101 and the last twelve years we have discovered that they had a very different vision of the contract, we then we said.." No he will have x, y, and z can. Not only z ' Then they said, 'But you have not told us You have just said that he had to do something as z.' "
Update 20:10 Minister Hennis-Plasschaert told BNR that the government could no longer wait to make a choice glamour 101 about the JSF. "The longer postpone could not," said the minister. On the one hand there is capital spent on the aanknoop of fighter planes, on the other hand is significantly cut back on defense. glamour 101 Thus, for example, have three stations closed, leaving at least 2,400 people lose their jobs. But, the Minister stressed: "This glamour 101 is really the last round of cuts." Let her colleague, Minister of Finance, Jeroen Dijsselbloem there are just not so confident to be as she is.
And finally: the JSF seems like a textbook example glamour 101 of forced trade. Once you have located, a U.S. bomb on your territory, you are forced to buy.
