The strange aircraft which demonstrates the crucial weaknesses of the F-22 (1)
by morice
Saturday, June 13, 2015
That's it, the diva was finally out of its hangar to go to him for a ride up the side of Syria.The F-22 interceptor fighter initially thought to make dogfights against enemy always (now Russia and China) became a magic wand bomber, finally known there baptism of fire ... without reproof, as we shall see, both presented as delicate mission could have been done with closed eyes by a pilot perched on a much older machine, which would have done just as well, if not better. Worse, when we will discover that the unit could not fulfill its mission without the help of another plane, released in 1963. ... The diva is not blind, but it is indeed completely ... deaf to the calls of his colleagues, and needs a translator, a copy of the cemetery was emerged in the desert ... the paradox of a US Air Force became completely delirious ...
The F-22 external operations, there has been little images of the intervention of the US wonder of wonders, the plane that is worth its weight in gold in the first sense. It was therefore not until the first articles to have some denser information on its behavior: how has the dancer overpriced, she was able to cope alone, what was its availability, etc ... nine years after being declared operational ... and 28 years after the signing of the start of construction of the contract ... We tend to forget, but this airplane which had previously participated in any conflict Thirty years age. This is the May issue of the English magazine Key Pubklishing Air Forces Monthly (right here) gives us some details. The article is entitled "Enter the Hunter" and occupies four pages, one filled with a picture of a device in the process of refueling. Not surprisingly, he tells us that the gear 1rst Fighter Wing from Langley-Eustis, Virginia took off from Al-Dhafra, Saudi Arabia. Only six in regular rotation since April 2012 at Al Dhafra. The article covers the fear of a Syrian reaction, when we now know that Assad had reached an agreement for flights over the country and no missile would shot against them. The MANPADS of Isis (Islamic state) can do anything at altitude bonus. The distance is to reach 1930 km, two flight hours according to the magazine, with 30 minutes allowed extra charge. The winds encountered at altitude increased flying time, requiring an additional supply, provided over Iraq via DC-10 (the story does not say if one of them was that of Omega Tanker, firm Private. Arrived on target, two pairs of F-22 have increased their speed to Mach 1.5, and climbed to 40,000 feet (12.192 m) over Syria. Only two were bombing, the other two covering. Result ;. only four bombs were dropped in total (we will see a little further if they all reached the goal) The United States built 187 copies of the widget, each equivalent to a staggering 377 million euros, its release was expected in war for 25 years ... and in the end, it is unfortunate to drop four bombs? Yes, this is precisely the paradox of the Pentagon!
The procedure follows that of the successful test of 2006 with an Mk83. At 4:00 am, four JDAM bombs of 454 kilograms (1,000 pounds), guided GBU-32 fell by GPS (2 per unit) to start immediately. .. refueling over Iraq. Contacted by an AWACS return to stay in the air to protect a B-1; they had replied that he could do it, already missing oil: an old KC-135 along the Iranian border came to join them to go help the B-1 and stay airborne 40 more minutes ... . reapply and other supplies. The third ! The item specifying that the target had been selected in advance by a U-2 Senior Span, the e magazine showing the exemplary U-80-1089 2S on the basis of Al-Dhafra.
The result ? A building carefully chosen and presented as being Raqqah, whereas one is 100 km, a construction described as Isis command center (Daesh) strangely separated from any other building. With a hit, and another on the side of the building, still standing (and fire spread to a nearby shed, obviously). For the journal ARES, no. Really for complacency A look good, in fact, the selected building is a inratable target even in the worst of existing bombers, or a blind driver: it is part of any conurbation (the single village near Tichrin is isolated and highly recognizable, as is the location, situated near a 630MW power station fueled by a strong visible high dam, that of Tichrin precisely (the tour is here made by Islamists who are not of EI). See some pictures here dating back several years (ell es are from 2001).
And no need for expensive electronics to find the way. The region is well documented cartographically, a French archaeological expedition that surveyed the site in 1995 and 1999. The dam Tichrin had been seized by the activists avroil 26, 2012, the Free Syrian Army by ... supported by the US !!! Briefly, markedly him and greatly facilitated the thing, the anvil Queen of the Air Force! Not really enough to brag, indeed !!! Even a plane without radar would have found to view the target, because the operation was done day! Even more surprising, a comment on the strikes suggested than Tishrin had been made as if on parade: "Video published by CENTCOM suggests that the US has monitored the strikes with drone."
A Predator would have made rounds in the sky near !!! Proof that there was no danger well: ... the Predator flies at 130 km / h and reaches a height of 7000 meters max. The bombardment of F-22 could therefore be done in a chair !!!Note also that if the quick release presented snapshots of flights and night refueling, the es bombing operations of the F-22 have taken place ... day, being filmed by a drone. Never, throughout the mission, the F-22 were therefore in danger. The most modern aircraft in the world because of retiree slipper missions (it is stealth, it is true!) ...
Another plane of the inventory of US forces F-15 could indeed do the same, she said, and turned into a bomber aircraft designed as air superiority aircraft seems a little incongruous.Same comment in The National Interest, which states that the Syrians matter defenses of the territory, were made by Israeli planes have at least twice. The magazine citing another reason for having sent there: to prove that the oxygen problems suffocating its pilots were (finally) resolved. "But the real mission of the F-22 - the reason why the taxpayer pays billions of dollars for just a few hundreds of aircraft - was to eliminate enemy planes from the sky If all that was needed was a truck bomb to drop a smart bomb, a cheaper plane would have done for Aviation.. Week of its ébuts are indeed 'ironic. "blank check" obtained from Bashar al-Assad in person to the authorization of overflight of Syria In many commentators is evoked the idea of "the F- 22 had nothing to fear as a threat on the ground or in the air !!! course; at Fox News, we trompettait anything else: "Military officials have said that the ability of aircraft to avoid detection by Syrian air defense systems was one of the reasons to use it." One caught lying to the evidence ! To support the sudden we paraded the device, with one pilot on board wearing the Stars and Stripes on his dashboard. The plane is not more effective, but in com it a hit! A Fort Worth, where it was built, we are ecstatic, flying back up to the first Bleriot XI above the city by Roland Garros in person to celebrate the event!
The excellent site Aviatonist opens another track, about the mission. The F-22 is also touted for its superior electronics (but imagined there almost 30 years!), Remember the site which speaks of "electronic warfare aircraft enabled sensor-rich" term used by the Pentagon to describe it. According to the F-22 would or also serve as a target designator for USS Arleigh Burke and USS Philippine Sea for their missile launches B GM-109 Tomahawk T-LAM, thealso ances submarines (remember that there they are worth half a million dollars each).This seems highly unlikely. For if the F-22 has electronic means, it is very handicapped to share. It is, as we know, off-field standards. The aircraft, with its release in 1990, have proclaimed the power of two computers Cray2 (it was 800). Or an I-Pad2 develops alone gigaflop 1.5 s, largely before the Cray2. The brain of the F-22 does do, c no greater than that of a second-generation iPad. IPad Air is a current ... 115 gigaflops (The IPad 4 already making 74).
Actually computer, the device is indeed ... a dinosaur, as recently called Air & Cosmos in its December issue. For updating the widget worth its weight in gold is a puzzle without a name. Some chip electronic components are not even sold in the market: that the Pentagon making the rounds of RadioShack stores in tracking down their reserves: "do it together",says it is true the slogan of the chain. Make it yourself! In seeking the pieces there, or at the Chinese AliBaba ... The computers of the F-22, developed before its construction in 1990, running in effect ... 25 mhz. This is 56 times slower than that rotates in the i-Phone 6, notes The Daily Beast. "The archaic processors of the F-22 are only one means billions of dollars wasted by taxpayers through the processes heavily slow development of the Pentagon. Often, the Defense Department finds to issue a special order small batches of obsolete parts from questionable sources, which have sometimes been drawn to places like China to support these obsolete technologies. This Because the parts are no longer manufactured in the US In addition, in most cases, only one great entrepreneur who developed the hardware is the only entity that is able to modify or upgrade a system because of its proprietary, often at an exorbitant cost to the taxpayer. Taken together, billions are wasted annually "added the magazine, bitterly describing the deployment of Rolls air combat (or purported actually). The magazine made its accounts: the Raptor has cost $ 74 billion to develop. The 196 th copy (prototypes included) and was completed last December 14, 2011. Each brick flying today is worth its $ 377 million each! An average price for if you count the amortization of developments, it goes up to 678 million ... copy !!! The Pentagon providing indeed add $ 59 billion more to keep it in flight and renew its components in the years to come !!! Each machine, anyway, so will cost more than half a billion !!! What affects the cost of flight at the time: in 2009, we already estimated time of flight of the F-22 44000 dollars. We can understand a little better why she does not go out often of the Rolls 'air. One crash and is a half-billion goes up in smoke!
There is not just that which handicaps seriously.There is also the onboard software. And here we fall high, as the Secretary of the Navy John Lehman that in a newspaper article was written with humor: ". At least, [F-22] are protected from cyber attacks Nobody in China knows how program the old 1983 IBM software that manages "... and indeed, because the 3-CIP (CIP for Common Integrated Processors) on board have their software written in a language ADA now a ... more archaic world. A software that can greet a "crowing", based on Pascal, writing in 89 years by the French Jean David Ichbiah an engineer French disappeared January 26, 2007 Boston. at the head of the company Alsys (Ada Language Systems) became TSP. The name of the programming language is a tribute to Ada Lovelace is considered the first programmer in the world. The ADA was selected by the Pentagon in response to a call for tenders dating from 1974 ... an obsolete language, so that the very serious Software Engineering Institute has declared "dead" in 2003 ... when cell the first F-22 of the 43rd Fighter Squadron, landed on the basis of Tyndall AFB in Florida !!! The photo is beautiful, but the computer on board the craft is completely obsolete when it arises become operational!What a paradox of modern times!
A winded computer, a programming language disappeared (we no one more form to the ADA, we must find retirees - in pantoufles- to understand) ... and even worse, the lack of data links with other aircraft, appeared before and after him, that severe disabilities. This is actually the major fault. Because for aberrant reason, the F-22 uses the old fashion IFDL (Infra Flight Data Link) instead of MADL, the Multifunction Advanced Data Link prevalent everywhere. Described as a plus for the plane: "included in the CNI system, there is a data link Inter / Intra-Flight (IFDL) that allows all F-22 in flight share target data to the system automatically without radio calls. One of the original objectives for the F-22 was to increase the percentage of fighter pilots to make "Kill" (reach target, see other aircraft) With the IFDL each driver is free to function more independently because, for example, the leader can tell at a glance which is the fuel state of his wing winger is, or how much rest he him ammunition, and while target enemy aircraft. This link also allows additional F-22 in flight added to the mesh of a group for a multi-coordinated flight. " On paper it is indeed ... perfect. Provided only have F-22 in flight: off at the exit in Syria, as we have seen, the devices have evolved along with the F-15, or even old-6B Prowler EA (Super Hornet Growlera put a lot of time to deploy and is only effective since 2011) and an AWACS or two to perform their missions. But as is the F-22 could not communicate with all other devices of the mission: the hunter, in its way, as I have written it is. ... Real autistic The machine features a super-board radar. But can not extract the data to others ... alone. The driving bullion boyfriends need translators to cause his little mission comrades!
That is a defect in design, obscured by explanations of "security": "because of security considerations, access to information provided by some of the most advanced sensors currently available in the theater is very limited example. the information and picture of the situation generated by F-22 Raptors can not be transferred to F-15, F-16 and AWACS even if both units are involved in the same operation. As stealth aircraft, F- 22 is not equipped with conventional data links such as Link-16 that can be easily spotted by SIGINT enemies. Instead, they use a unique qualified stealth, narrow beam Intra-Flight Data-Link (IFDL) designed to transmit data and synchronize a picture of the situation only among the Raptors. As this stealth data link is incompatible with all other communication devices, the Raptors can not communicate with another friendly aircraft. "
How does one has managed a mission where the F-22 has rubbed his colleagues and finally suc- - to communicate with them, we will see tomorrow with another mysterious device called in reinforcements ...
