O local de manutenção dos caças militares dos EUA no Japão será alterado da Coreia do Sul para o Japão = Korea Net

Registro Coreia segunda-feira, 20 de maio de 2024, 7h

No dia 15, o jornal Hankyoreh da Coreia do Sul noticiou: “A manutenção regular dos caças militares dos EUA no Japão, que anteriormente era realizada na Coreia do Sul, será agora realizada no Japão”.

Em 15 de maio de 2024, o jornal Hankyoreh da Coreia do Sul informou: “A manutenção regular dos caças militares dos EUA no Japão, que anteriormente era realizada na Coreia do Sul, será agora realizada no Japão”.

O artigo cita relatos da mídia japonesa, dizendo: “O governo japonês planeja expandir os tipos de caças militares dos EUA elegíveis para manutenção e reparo”, e “Os governos japonês e dos EUA estão mantendo conversações com a Mitsubishi Heavy Industries e outros com o objetivo de iniciar as operações a partir do próximo ano.'' É relatado que.

Atualmente, entre os caças militares dos EUA estacionados no Japão, o “F18” e o caça a jato mais avançado “F35” são mantidos e reparados no Japão, mas os novos “F15” e “F16” serão adicionados. Aproximadamente 50 F16 estão estacionados na Base Aérea de Misawa em Aomori, e aproximadamente 50 F15 estão estacionados na Base Aérea de Kadena em Okinawa. A manutenção de rotina é realizada em cada base, e a manutenção regular uma vez a cada poucos anos é realizada pela Korean Air em Busan. estão fazendo. A partir de agora, a manutenção regular em Busan será confiada à Mitsubishi Heavy Industries e outras empresas.

A expansão da manutenção no Japão é considerada “uma resposta à ameaça militar da China e visa obter benefícios económicos”. O artigo explica que se a manutenção regular for realizada no Japão, economizará tempo e permitirá uma operação mais ágil dos caças, e os custos de manutenção serão pagos às empresas japonesas, o que beneficiará a indústria de defesa.

Em resposta a este artigo, os internautas coreanos comentaram: “Que diabos o governo está fazendo?” “Eles estão ignorando a Coreia”, “Eles foram esbofeteados pelos EUA, foram espancados pelo Japão, perderam o mercado russo e foram ignorados pela China...'' Um governo diplomaticamente incompetente ``É patético,'' ``A Korean Air perdeu o seu emprego. continuar mantendo as Forças dos EUA na Coreia?'' e ``O Japão perderá tudo porque elegeu um presidente incompetente.'' ing.

Por outro lado, as pessoas podem pensar: ``Bem, a península coreana é perigosa.'' ``O que eles fizeram na Coreia do Sul não é bastante estranho?'' ``Se eles vão fazer manutenção na área onde eles estão estacionados, então tudo bem. Muitas pessoas disseram: “Se você não precisa voar, é eficiente”. (Tradução e edição/Mae)

Due to the high repair costs, the US Air Force will retire one of its B-2 Spirit bombers

Due to successive delays, Congress is considering reducing the number of F-35s destined for the U.S. Armed Forces for Fiscal Year 2025


It is reported that the US Air Force has issued a tender to equip Seymour Jones Air Force Base in North Carolina with structures to protect aircraft from small UAVs weighing up to 55lb (25kg). The airbase is home to the 4th Fighter Wing, equipped with F-15E fighter-bombers. The airbase is already equipped with lightweight aircraft shelters (photo), so it appears that these shelters will now need to be retrofitted with drone defence structures.


The RIM-174B/C ERAM (SM-6 Block IA/IB) ship-based ultra-long-range surface-to-air guided missiles are being adapted for use by USAF fighters.

The programme, carried out by specialists from the US Navy and Air Force Research Laboratories, as well as Raytheon and Boeing, is aimed at comprehensive integration of the RIM-174B/C ERAM into the F/A-18E/F weapon control systems via the MIL-STD-1760 multiplexed data bus (or its enhanced version), as well as updating the source code of the Super Hornet's software.

Structural adaptation involves equipping the SM-6 SAMs with suspension points adapted to the LAU-118 underwing assemblies, as well as the removal of the 468kg Mk 72 solid rocket boosters.

Good flight qualities of SM-6 SAMs with their Mk.104 DTRM engines will provide F/A-18E/F pilots to use them with a weapon with the range of 250-300 km (when launched from altitudes above 10 km). It can work as anti-radar, anti-ship and air-surface (aeroballistic). It can reach a maximum flight speed of 4000 km/h and an average trajectory speed of 3300 km/h

Using the onboard AN/APG-79 AESA radar or E-3C/G radar controllers, Super Hornet pilots will be able to detect, escort and intercept operational-tactical ballistic missiles and intermediate-range ballistic missile warheads. This capability will be provided by the RIM-174B Dual II (SM-6 Dual II) aircraft modification with optimised algorithms of active radar sensors and radar fuzes.

Thus, the F/A-18E/F ‘Super Hornet’ fleet receives an advanced multifunctional tactical missile with air-to-air parameters comparable to the domestic R-37M air-to-air missile. Nevertheless, the effective reflective surface of about 0.2 square metres makes these missiles elementary targets for modern S-400 and CEP-300V4 air defence systems.
