Message to Beijing: This Super Hornet loves to jump

[striver44]

So according to the Indian analyst the J-10c, J-15, J-16, J-31, J-22 ie PLAAF top notch jet fighters equiped with the latest generation censors, AESA radars, and Engines are inferior to the F-18.....

Good thing the Indian analyst are so smart compared to the USAAF

https://media.defense.gov/2020/Sep/01/2002488689/-1/-1/1/2020-DOD-CHINA-MILITARY-POWER-REPORT-FINAL.PDF

Even the US govt own assessment states that the J-10c alone is a huge threat to the F-18, F-15 and F-16s based in the pacific....

Of those you mentioned, only J-15 are carrier capable with the J-31 (rumoured to be carrier capable), are still in testing and prototype phase.
So yes, a Super Hornet BLKIII is superior than the J-15.

 

[The Maverick]

India will order 36 super hornets once all the flight deck tests are proved on ski jump..

this will.be fighter wing of new vikrant carrier

24 to 27 carrier based rest land based rotation reserve

Nice choice, western jets are generally more advanced and it's maintenance are not a headache. What will be the fate of the naval Fulcrums?

The order is rumored to be 57, including additional jets on the ground.

Mig-29s will be delivered to Indian Air Force.

Under what assumptions is the F-18 block 3 superior? Under the assumption the USAAF is actually able to safe gaurd its carrier strike group and gain air superiority? Under the assumption the USAAF is battling for air superiority in the pacific while facing an adversary who is equally matched (in the pacific atleast).

Comparing 2 fighters head to head is something fan boys engage in. In the real world there are way to many factors to take into consideration but at the end of the day it would be hard to say who is better than the other because they have never really engaged eachother.

In recent modern history we have seen top notch Chinese weaponery face off against Russian weaponery on only 2 occasions.

1. Sudan Vs South Sudan: Where sudanese T-85 chinese tanks faced Russian T-72 tanks. End result was 4 T-72s destroyed while 0 losses for the T-85.

2. India vs Pakistan: Where Chinese JF-17 block 2 faced off against Russian Mig-21 and Su-30mki with 2 losses for Russian aircraft and 0 losses for JF-17.

In both cases of modern history the Chinese weaponery outclasses Russian weaponery, which is something American intelligence and western media has even taken notice of. Even taking the weapons into consideration is not fair because you also have to look at the moral and training of the soldiers operating the weaponery. I have not even included the fact that Chinese are building and exporting UCAV droves that have been responsible for decimating Russian tanks in Libya. I have yet to see Russian weapons decimating any Chinese made weapons in recent modern history. If you have sources or info please share rather than speculating whose better than the other. Lets talk facts.

I do agree that there's not going to be a one v one competition between single models of jets, this is all about aggregate power of each side, but what a J-15 has , a Super Hornet blk III has it while what a Super Hornet has the J-15 has not (yet), like CFT, advanced cockpit displays, long range IRST pod, not to mention the engine. am sure an F414 in the block II is already a more superior engine than the troublesome chinese engine on the J-15, the BLK III will even have an enhanced variant of the F-414.

Having top notch equipment does not help the fact that the Indian navy are monkeys as operators, they believe they can operate a sub without with its hatches still open and already blew up their own kilo sub while in port. More likely to crash the f 18 into a crowded Indian city than to kill any foes

 

[Hamza913]

By that logic, Pakistan is already defeated by the BLF.

No because they have not managed to separate Balochistan from Pakistan itself. When I say "bled by a thousand cuts", I mean in terms of the strategy used to win the war. In and of itself, it doesn't necessarily mean a victory.

 

[swnjo]

none of the current carries can fit super hornets, so no probably, we are not getting any

 

[TNT]

Dumb article seen to be written by a kid or indian. Mocking russian weapons not knowing india operates Su30 and other russian weapons. US as usual petting its new puppy to go for china.

 

[xyxmt]

You may have our flag but don't know our history, culture, or our resolve. We fight our own battles - and we've always led the fight.

Helping the world and even having helped china by taking on Japan. Else half of the Chinese territory today would have been under the rising sun flag. Some 14 million Chinese died, and up to 100 million became refugees during the eight years of conflict with Japan from 1937 to 1945.

The last time I checked, China was transgressing into Indian sovereign lands, being aggressive not just with them but also with other neighbors. If we take your statement and generalized take above, then did we supply you with weapons in the past to be cannon fodder too? Is China supplying you with weapons today and using you as cannon fodder to take on India?

History also tells us that US never goes to war with a formidable foe.

 

[Ahmet Pasha]

BEFORE YOU READ MY COMMENT BELOW- Remember the Chinese have the world's greatest guarantor of victory AKA if they don't report deaths on their side, it never happened!

DEAR INDIANS_ PLAAF is a big clusterF___ of old soviet style aircraft technology or reverse engineering of steal/copy/paste philosophy. Their philosophy is based on Soviets's too, more on missiles and throwing bodies at something.

None of the front line aircraft are really tested, or any information is available like they are on our aircraft's. The F-18 BLOCK III Hornet will be a superior, lethal, well-established aircraft, way more advance than anything Chinese have to tackle the seas. Having said that, you take the Chinese (fake claims mostly) to heart, not underestimate their claim, and build your military ecosystem to deter and have counteroffensive capabilities.

Pssst J-15 an inferior aircraft they built for their aircraft carrier is having huge issues.

Well, there’s no mystery anymore, is there.

All that’s left, is for India to find the money.

If they do, they’ve got one helluva fighter jet on their hands — one that will make Chinese fighter jets of the PLAAF, pale in comparison.

According to a report in Military.com, a US Navy F/A-18 Super Hornet has demonstrated it can take off from a “ski jump” ramp, proving it can someday operate from international aircraft carriers — a big plus for foreign sales.

The Navy and Boeing tested this capability at the famed Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Maryland, according to a December Boeing release.



The demo was conducted for India, which is looking to buy new carrier-based fighters that can launch from its short-runway ships.

Unlike most nations, the US operates flat-decked carriers that launch aircraft via a high-powered catapult, Military.com reported.

India operates the INS Vikramaditya, which lacks catapult systems for assisted aircraft take off. Its successor, the INS Vikrant — the country’s first locally built carrier — will also use a ski-jump takeoff ramp.

“The first successful and safe launch of the F/A-18 Super Hornet from a ski jump begins the validation process to operate effectively from Indian Navy aircraft carriers,” Ankur Kanaglekar, India Fighter Sales lead for Boeing, said in a statement.

“The F/A-18 Block III Super Hornet will not only provide superior war fighting capability to the Indian Navy but also create opportunities for cooperation in naval aviation between the United States and India.”

The Super Hornet is undergoing new modifications to give it smarter tactical targeting, improved communications and advanced cockpit displays. Known as the Block III configuration, the upgrades will also extend the plane’s service life into the foreseeable future, Military.com reported.

Boeing’s Block III Super Hornet comes with a larger variety of weapons, extended range, advanced targeting and sensor systems, and better fuel efficiency.

The Navy plans to have Boeing convert more than 500 of its Block II jets and produce nearly 80 new Block IIIs through 2024, Military.com reported.

The new jets’ first deployment is expected sometime in 2022. The Navy accepted its first two Block III-version jets for test in June.

The question remains — can India afford it?

According to Dawn.com, India now has the world’s third biggest military budget, behind the United States and China, the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (Sipri) said in an annual report.

India’s military spending of US$71 billion was 6.8 per cent higher over its 2018 expenditure. It grew by 259 per cent over a 30-year period stretching from 1990 to 2019 and by 37 per cent over the 2010-19 decade.

However, in terms of GDP, New Delhi’s military burden fell from 2.7 per cent in 2010 to 2.4 per cent in 2019, according to the report, “Trends in World Military Expenditure, 2019.”

India’s tensions and rivalry with China and Pakistan are among the major drivers for its increased military expenditure, the report observed.

Sipri, founded in 1966, is an independent international institute dedicated to research into conflicts, armaments and arms control.

You are right because compared to us, everyone is child's play. Germany, Japan, Russia, China, all child's play.

Your flag is INDIA. Indian troll bot.

Wumao, calm down; we won't jail you for your anti-American stance; you are still free to live in OUR Democracy. But do continue to think I'm Indian, every living second if possible because I see how it pisses you off.

AND THANK YOU for your tax dollars that go towards our anti china policy, every day!
