F-35 olevikust ja tulevikust

This comparison of the Su-57 production line versus the F-35 production line really sums up the most important difference between these aircraft.
One is the most technologically advanced fighter in the world. The other is practically artisanal.

Et maaslamajat veelgi jalaga lüüa, ei tasu unustada et F-35el on kaks tootmisliini. Lisaks USA Fort Worthile ka Itaalias. ja isegi see Itaalia liin suudab toota hetkel 16 lennukit aastas.

Tšehhi plaanib osta 24 F-35 lennukit
Yesterday, Czechia submitted a request to buy 24 F-35s from the U.S.

Poland is waiting for 32 F-35s while Finland is buying 64 F-35s.

The countries on NATO’s eastern flank are getting ready to crush the Russians in the air of such a need arises.

USA, Hollandi ja Itaalia piloodid tegid koos trenni ja detailidesse minemata väidetavalt õpiti midagi Ukraina sõjast. Lisaks öeldi, et praeguse 140 F-35 asemel on Euroopas 2034. aastaks 600 F-35.

Right now, we roughly have 140 F-35s in Europe, by 2034 we will have a little more than 600, but it’s going to take a while to get there”, said Gen.Hecker. “In the meantime, we need to use good interoperability and integration between both our 4th gen aircraft, like the F-16, and our 5th gen aircraft.”

Britid said kätte veel 3 F-35 hävitajat
The RAF has taken delivery of three brand-new F-35B jets at RAF Marham in Norfolk.

The latest consignment to arrive at the home of the Lightning Force means the UK has now received 30 of the F-35 fifth-generation fighter aircraft.

It means there are now 26 F-35s in operational service in the UK – three test jets are located in the US and one was lost after crashing off HMS Queen Elizabeth's flight deck.

Programm on üsna märkamatult läbinud 600 000 lennutunni verstaposti ning toodetud on üle 875 lennuki. Järgmise aasta lõpuks peaks olema vähemalt 1000 lennukit lõppkasutajatele üle antud.

Kusjuures avariide ja katastroofide arvu üleslugemiseks nende 600 000 lennutunni juures piisab kahe käe näppudest, kaotatud lennukite arv on veel väiksem. Tegu on oma keerukusele vaatamata väga töökindla masinaga.

Tegu on oma keerukusele vaatamata väga töökindla masinaga.

Tuletan siinkohal meelde ühte väidet mida keeruliste lääne relvade vastu armastatakse idanaabri propagandaruumist oma info ammutajate poolt tuua:

Tehnika puhul suureneb rikete võimalus võrdelisekt keerukuse kasvu ruuduga. Ehk kaks korda keerukam masin läheb neli korda tõenäolisemalt katki.

Üks F-35 jäänud tundmatusse seisu peale lenduri katapulteerumist
F-35B accident at Forth Worth airbase in the U.S.

The pilot was able to eject.

Lendur katapulteerus ikka päris lõpus alles. F35B on mereväe versioon, mis saab vertikaalselt maanduda. Näeb välja sedasi, et algaja piloodi harjutus ei tulnud hästi välja.
Edit - räägitakse ikka tehnilisest veast:

The mishap involving the F-35 occurred sometime shortly before 10:15 AM local time, which is when the nearby White Settlement Police were called to the scene, according to a report from NBC DFW, a local NBC affiliate in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. White Settlement Police officers along with U.S. Navy and Lockheed Martin personnel secured the scene, White Settlement Police Chief Christoper Cook told that outlet.

"According to Cook, a Lockheed-owned jet suffered some sort of malfunction that forced the pilot to eject the aircraft," NBC DFW reported. "Cook said the pilot safely ejected but had no other information about the pilot's condition."

Seda ei tahaks hästi uskuda jah, sest erinevalt Harrierist on F-35B's vertikaalne maandumine praktiliselt täiesti automatiseeritud. Juhtkangiga muudad ainult asukohta X-Y teljes ja sisuliselt "nuppu vajutades" maandub ise.

Tasub ka märkida, et erinevalt A ja C versioonidest on B versioonil (nagu Harrierilgi) ka automaat-katapulteerumine, kus lennuk võib piloodi ka ise katapulteerida kui asi hõljudes kriitiliseks läheb - just tehtud mõttega, et lennuk võib ümber keerata väga kähku ja piloot ei pruugi alati piisavalt kiiresti reageerida. Loomulikult saab ka piloot ise "kangi tõmmata". Siin igatahes tundub, et õnneks on see automaatika üsna konservatiivne (paradakompuuter ei pidanud olukorda piisavalt ohtlikuks).

Pilootidele ei pidanud see funktsionaalsus igatahes üldse meeldima. Katapulteerimine ei ole mingi lõbustuspargi atraktsioon - jõud, mis kaelale ja peale mõjuvad, on päris karmid. Sellest ka kunagised meedias palju kajastatud kiivri kaaluprobleemid - igal katapulteerumisel on tegelikult täitsa mitte-olematu tõenäosus invaliidiks jääda.

Ehk ,see on asi milleks piloot tahaks vaimselt valmistuda, istuda sirge seljaga vastu istet, pea otse, jms. Kui nüüd lennuk võib seda ise ootamatult igal hetkel teha, võtab ikka kõhedaks küll.

Lennukit maha kindlasti ei kanta, viga said ju ainult ninaosa, parema tiiva ots ja esimene telik pluss katapulteerumisega kaasnevad parandustööd.

võimalik et mootor imes juppe ka sisse. äkki sellest tuli jube suitsu pahmakas.
puusalt tulistan, et tõste ventilaator andis otsad ja põhjustas selle õnnetuse.

Tänu viimasele õnnetusele Texases, lähevad paljud lennukid erakorralisele ülevaatusele.
Some F-35 Lightning II fighter jets deemed to be of “higher risk” are being grounded two weeks after one crashed on a runway in Texas.

Certain models are set to undergo a one-time inspection “while the investigation into the mishap” in Texas continues, the F-35 Joint Program Office told Defense News in a statement. The hope is to finish the inspections sometime in January.

It’s unclear how many planes are being grounded, but JPO confirmed all three variants are among them: the F-35A, F-35B and F-35C. An anonymous source familiar with the program told Defense News the affected jets have fewer than 40 hours of flight time.
