Says the beggar of WAFF.

Every time some shlameel is posting "high tech" weapons that isn't from the UK or US, you go into
this begging mode of wishing your insignificant country could have these weapons.

Maybe if you and your country polish enough Russian and chinese knobs, they'll likely send
you some free stuff for your poor country.

F-35 JSF's surprising sonic boom
Posted by Guy Norris 7:01 PM on Aug 03, 2012


A couple of months ago I was fortunate enough to spend a day with a NASA and Air Force test team in the Mojave Desert near Edwards AFB. The day involved testing a small unmanned air vehicle equipped with an automatic ground collision avoidance system, with the intent of showing that no matter how hard we tried to crash the UAV the system would prevent us from doing so. I will post a separate blog about this program in the next few days.

However, the day was also eventful for me in other ways. Having spent many years now reporting on goings on in the high desert, and been bombarded by sonic booms on several occasions, I was not surprised or disturbed by the constant barrage of booms that echoed around the area as we conducted the UAV testing. After all, were in the heart of the R-2508 Edwards test range complex, and right beneath the Black Mountain low level supersonic corridor (marked in red circle below).

This part of the range gives pilots the rare chance to conduct supersonic operations overland for a short distance at altitudes as low as 500-ft in some parts, quickly rising to 10,000-ft and above only. The Black Mountain route adjoins the midway point of the 224 nautical mile long high altitude supersonic corridor that straddles the range complex from east to west. I was once lucky enough to travel along the high altitude route at Mach 1.3 in an F-16, performing an aileron roll while doing so.

Although F-15s, F-16s and F-22s crossed overhead several times during the day, barely visible against the blue sky, a high layer of cloud moved across part of the sky later in the afternoon which provided a backdrop for viewing the fast moving traffic. At one point an F-35A Joint Strike Fighter from the F-35 Integrated Test Force at Edwards was using the low level corridor with an F-16 chase for company.
[linked image]
I noticed the F-35A high up (as this zoomed in spot on my photo above indicates), but refocused my attention on trying to film the UAV as it performed its automatic collision avoidance maneuver. Note how the shock of the boom, which was unexpectedly severe at our location, causes the video to jump slightly at 7 sec. For comparison on the relatively lower boom intensity listen for the double-boom of the decelerating F-16 chase at 18 sec. I am sure someone must know, but does the intense boom represent an acoustic facet of the F-35s low-observable design and parallel leading and trailing edge alignment?

Maybe if they do, in a few years they can get shot out the sky by the British F-35s just like the Harriers did to all those Mirage/Super Etendards back in 82!!!

Love thinking about the whipping all those guys in his sig took [linked image]


=====
Speaking of the Eurofighters close-in combat prowess, Major Marc Gr�ne, CO of 742 (Zapata), the second squadron of the wing, described to assembled aviation journalists how, on a recent visit to France to demo the aircraft, he had won two out of two battles against the Dassault Rafale in mock within visual range dogfights. Both fights were a standard set-up and merge at 21,000ft and 30,000ft he recounted, adding that the higher the fight the better the Eurofighter liked it. He singled out the Eurofighters excess power as its trump card over the Rafale

The F-35 is a game changer and the haters know it.

They mostly bitch about its looks and the so called myth that it can't dogfight.

For all US-Turko-Boys: The PAK-FA will be freely available on the market, imagine who will buy it? Venezuela, Cuba, Argentina, Brazil, Syria, Algeria, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, ?Iran?, Ethiopia, ?Angola?, Peru, Uruguay, Serbia, ?Armenia?, ?Abkhazia?, Egypt, ?Greece?, ?Cyprus?, ?Lebanon?, other?

It will be more than enough to cancel F-35 to do anything bad in the world. We are no more in post cold war time, Russia is building up new sphere of influence. What today seems not powerful enough against US-Turko-Boys it will be tomorrow. As they will be examples that one country can rely on Russias help against US-Turko-Boys it will become the thing.

Pak-Fa doesnt cost 2million$ so those poor countries u mentioned above still cant afford it
and the rest may afford it but not in large quantities
Iran? Lol Russia didnt even sell them S-300
Armenia? with their budget they cant even afford 4
Greece? [linked image]

F-35 wont be cancelled they already got too much money invested to stop now
F-35 already got its market set up with countries that will buy it in large quantities
