US and Russia Begin Race for Sixth-Generation Fighter Jet



QUOTE
While Russia remains relatively secretive regarding the next-generation fighter jet, the US military industry has released several concept designs aimed at tenders. The most creative thus far has been by Britain's BAE Systems, which proposed a modular design, which would allow a UFO-like rhombus-shaped jet to separate into different functions while in mid-flight.
QUOTE
A concept by Northrop Grumman proposed a space plane which fires lasers, while Boeing has focused on the F/A-XX, which is aimed primarily at the US Navy's carrier fleet.
QUOTE
Bondarev then said that the shift to unmanned aircraft is in part because the human body "has limits," presumably for both long flights and extreme maneuvers. Drone equipment, he said, is "much more functional and low-maintenance," and "can withstand any g-force," referring to the human body's inability to survive plane maneuvers, leading to death or loss of consciousness.
QUOTE
"What we’re looking at UCLASS is to be the bridge between manned systems and completely autonomous unmanned strike — which will be sometime in the 2020s — to develop that program using UCLASS to get us there,"
QUOTE
Another issue with Russia's T-50 project has been in coordinating the program with India, which has been unhappy with the cost and has leaked complaints about the project to the press in the midst of the country's stalled deal to buy Rafale jets from France.

U.S. General Admits F-35 Is Actually Three Separate Airplanes

user posted image

QUOTE
The variants were supposed to be 70-percent common. But Lt. Gen. Christopher Bogdan, head of the JSF program office, told a seminar audience on Feb. 10 that the three F-35 models are only 20- to 25-percent common, mainly in their cockpits.

In other words, the F-35 is actually three different warplanes. The F-35, F-36 and F-37.

Two UAE pilots die in Mirage fighter jet crash

user posted image

QUOTE
RIYADH, March 14 (KUNA) -- Two pilots of the UAE Air Force died when their warplane crashed into Yemeni territories at dawn on Monday, the Coalition for Restoring Legitimacy in Yemen announced.

The Coalition said in a statement, broadcast by the Saudi Press Agency, that the Mirage fighter jet crashed due to a technical malfunction at the dawn time.

Earlier in the UAE, military authorities initially said the fighter jet had gone missing.

The Saudi-led Arab Coalition is carrying out "the restoration of hope" operation in Yemen, aimed to back up the legitimacy in the troubled country.

The £2.99 app that could sink UK's war on smugglers

QUOTE
The International Maritime Organization requires vessels of more than 300 tons and passenger ships to have AIS transmitters. Warships and ships operated or owned by governments are supposedly exempt.

Ex-Navy chief Lord West said the app was ‘something else that the military commander has to bear in mind’.

A Home Office spokesman said: ‘The Border Force vessels in the Aegean are on a humanitarian operation to support the Greek and Turkish coastguards and not part of a covert operation.’

He added: ‘All Border Force cutters have the ability to avoid tracking if necessary.’

A MarineTraffic spokesman said: ‘Naval officers are fully aware that AIS signals transmitted by their vessels mean that their positions are publicly visible.’

Meanwhile Russia is pulling out of Syria

Guess the money dries up. It shows that no countries on earth can maintain sustained war effort (even a limited warfare such as in Syria) outside their own soil other than US.

M109A6 is already a capable platform. The main reason why US army went to the A7 variant is because of chassis commonality with Bradley. If anything, I'd rather if we get more 155mm towed howitzer and replace Oto melaras with new 105mm howitzer.

South Korean KH-179 155mm howitzer seems to be a great option. It's a lot cheaper M777(less than 1 million USD compared to M777's >6 million USD) and unlike M777, it even has 52 caliber variant

Not a complete pullout imo, just scaling down operations. I don't think cost was a problem cause they mentioned that the intervention was funded as part of the Air Forces annual budget and not part of extra war funds?

QUOTE
Critically, sophisticated air defence systems seem set to stay. And as we have never been told officially how many troops were ever sent to Syria, we are unlikely to know how many will remain.


Besides, could be a political move as a response to the talks with the White house over the Syrian Crisis. hmm.gif
