In May 2007, Hungarian Air Force Gripens flew to Italy for their first international deployment, Exercise Spring Flag 07, in Italy.
“The aim of the exercise,” says Hungarian Air Force Colonel Nandor Kilian, “was to deploy our Gripens overseas, operate them with minimum support from an austere location, be interoperable and co-operative – and expose our pilots to an air picture with large numbers of active aircraft. We took four aircraft – two Gripen Ds and two Gripen Cs – but we flew all of our operational missions with the two-seat Ds to give maximum exposure and experience to our team of nine pilots.”
Exercise Spring Flag 2007, held at Italy’s Decimomannu air base in Sardinia, was a major NATO event involving combat assets from France (E-3), Germany (F-4F ICE), Italy (AV-8B, F-16C, Tornado ECR and Eurofighter Typhoon), NATO (E-3) Turkey (F-16C). Electronic warfare support was provided by the dedicated Falcon 20 jammers of the NATO MEWSG (multi-service electronic warfare support group). Tanker support came from Italy, the UK and the US.
The Gripens flew as part of the hostile ‘Red Force’, largely conducting beyond visual range air battles with the ‘Blue Force’. Colonel Kilian recalls, “We flew 24 sorties over the two-week exercise, and we launched every day with our two planned Gripen Ds. We were the only participants to have a 100% operational record with the scheduled aircraft.”
“In Hungary we just don’t have large numbers of aircraft to train with, but in Spring Flag we faced COMAO (combined air operations) packages of 20, 25 or 30 aircraft. The training value for us was to work with that many aircraft on our radar – and even with our limited experience we could see that the Gripen radar is fantastic. We would see the others at long ranges, we could discriminate all the individual aircraft even in tight formations and using extended modes. The jamming had almost no effect on us – and that surprised a lot of people.”
“Other aircraft couldn’t see us – not on radar, not visually – and we had no jammers of our own with us. We got one Fox 2 kill on an F-16 who turned in between our two jets but never saw the second guy and it was a perfect shot.”
“Our weapons and tactics were limited by Red Force rules, and in an exercise like this the Red Force is always supposed to die, but even without our AMRAAMs and data links we got eight or 10 kills, including a Typhoon. Often we had no AWACS or radar support of any kind, just our regular onboard sensors – but flying like that, ‘free hunting’, we got three kills in one afternoon. It was a pretty good experience for our first time out.”

Amigos,
É realmente empolgante o uso da estatística como argumento.
Vamos fazer um engajamento hipotético e analisar os resultados:
País vermelho:
- 2 caças, cada um com 2 mísseis.
- Aeronaves azuis abatidas no exercídio = 4 (taxa de sucesso =4/2 = 2; dois "kills"por aeronave)
País azul:
- 20 caças, cada um com 2 mísseis.
- Aviões vermelhos abatidos no exercício = 2 (taxa de sucesso = 2/20 = 0,1; com vinte aviões, apenas dois "kills" - aqueles dois)
Vamos analisar o resultado e comparar a eficiência de vermelhos e azuis: 2/0,1 = 20
Está comprovado: Os aviões (ou os pilotos) do país vermelho são vinte vezes melhores do que os do país azul.
Podemos confirmar, também, que os radares dos vermelhos (ou a furtividade de suas aeronaves) supera em cem vezes a eficiência do país Azul. Isto porque verificamos que dois aviões vermelhos detectaram vinte aeronaves azuis, enquanto que vinte azuis foram capazes apenas de detectar dois aviões vermelhos. Ou será que seria apenas dez vezes superior, contando que, globalmente, 20 aviões azuis foram detectados contra 2 vermelhos
?
Por favor, não briguem com o Justin. Ele só é fanático por estatísticas e comprovações objetivas.
Abraços,
