I-Adir yethulwa emhlabeni

I-F-35I Adir yokuqala yembulwa embonini yase-Lockheed Martin's Fort Worth ngoJuni 22.

NgoJuni 22, embonini ye-Lockheed Martin e-Fort Worth, kwaba nomcimbi wokwethula indiza yokuqala ye-F-35I Adir, okuwukuthi, okuhlukile kwe-F-35A Lightning II eyenzelwe i-Israel Air Force. “Isici” sale nguqulo sisuka ebudlelwaneni obukhethekile phakathi kweWashington neJerusalema, kanye nezidingo ezithile zokusebenza zalesi sifunda saseMpumalanga Ephakathi. Ngakho, i-Israel yaba izwe lesikhombisa ukuthola lolu hlobo lomshini kumenzi.

Iminyaka eminingi, i-Israel ibinguzakwabo obalulekile we-United States esifundeni esivuthayo saseMpumalanga Ephakathi. Lesi simo siwumphumela wombango wesifunda phakathi kwe-US kanye ne-USSR ngesikhathi seMpi Yomshoshaphansi, futhi ukubambisana kwezempi phakathi kwalamazwe womabili kwaqina ngemva kweMpi Yezinsuku Eziyisithupha, lapho amazwe aseNtshonalanga Yurophu ebekela u-Israyeli izikhali. Kusukela kwasayinwa isivumelwano sokuthula phakathi kwe-Israel ne-Egypt e-Camp David ngo-1978, la mazwe amabili angomakhelwane abe ngabazuzi abakhulu bezinhlelo zokusiza amasosha e-US FMF. Eminyakeni yamuva nje, iJerusalema lithole cishe amaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-3,1 ngonyaka kulokhu, okusetshenziselwa ukuthengwa kwezikhali e-United States (ngokomthetho wase-US, izimali zingasetshenziselwa izikhali ezikhiqizwa okungenani i-51% yase-United States). Ngenxa yalesi sizathu, ezinye izikhali zakwa-Israel zenziwa e-US, ngakolunye uhlangothi, kwenza kube lula ukuthekelisa. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ngale ndlela - ezimweni eziningi - izinhlelo eziyinhloko zesimanje zixhaswa ngezimali, okuhlanganisa ukutholwa kwezindiza ezithembisayo zokulwa ezinendima eminingi. Iminyaka eminingi, izimoto zalesi sigaba beziwumugqa wokuqala wokuzivikela nokuhlasela wakwa-Israyeli (ngaphandle uma, vele, kwenziwa isinqumo sokusebenzisa izikhali zenuzi), ziletha iziteleka eziqondile ngokumelene nezinhloso ezibalulekile emazweni athathwa njengenzondo ku-Israyeli. Lokhu kufaka phakathi, ngokwesibonelo, ukuhlasela okudumile kwe-reactor yenuzi yase-Iraq ngoJuni 1981 noma ukuhlaselwa kwezakhiwo ezifanayo eSyria ngoSepthemba 2007. Ukuze alondoloze inzuzo phezu kwezitha ezingase zibe khona, u-Israyeli ubelokhu ezama iminyaka eminingi ukuthenga okwakamuva. izinhlobo zezindiza e-United States, okuthi, ngaphezu kwalokho, zingaphansi, ngezinye izikhathi ezijulile, ukuguqulwa kwamandla emboni yendawo. Imvamisa zihlobene nokuhlangana kwezinhlelo ezibanzi zempi ye-elekthronikhi kanye nokuhlanganiswa kokuthuthukiswa kwazo kwezikhali ezinembayo. Ukusebenzisana okunezithelo kusho nokuthi abakhiqizi baseMelika abanjengo-Lockheed Martin nabo bayazuza kubuchwepheshe bakwa-Israel. Kuvela kwa-Israyeli ukuthi iningi lemishini kagesi enguqulweni ethuthukisiwe ye-F-16C / D, kanye namathangi kaphethiloli angaphandle angamalitha angama-600.

I-F-35 Lightning II yayingehlukile. Ukuthengwa kwe-Israel okuvela e-United States kwezindiza ezintsha zekhulunyaka (i-F-15I Ra'am kanye ne-F-16I Sufa) kwakhanselwa ngokushesha yizifundazwe zama-Arab, zona, ngakolunye uhlangothi, zathenga inombolo ebalulekile yama-multi -indiza yokulwa nendima evela e-United States (F-16E / F - UAE, F-15S / SA Strike Eagle - Saudi Arabia, F-16C / D Block 50 - Oman, Block 52/52+ - Iraq, Egypt) naseYurophu (I-Eurofighter Typhoon - i-Saudi Arabia, i-Oman, i-Kuwait ne-Dassault Rafale - i-Egypt, i-Qatar ), futhi ngakolunye uhlangothi, baqala ukuthenga izinhlelo zokulwa nezindiza ezenziwe eRussia ezithembisayo (S-300PMU2 - Algeria, Iran).

Ukuze athole inzuzo enkulu phezu kwabangase babe izitha, maphakathi neshumi leminyaka lokuqala lekhulu lama-22, u-Israyeli wazama ukuphoqa abantu baseMelika ukuthi bavume ukuthunyelwa kwamanye amazwe ama-F-35A Raptor fighters, kodwa "cha" ngokuqinile nokuvalwa. womugqa wokukhiqiza embonini yaseMarietta wazimisa ngempumelelo izingxoxo. Ngenxa yalesi sizathu, ukunaka kwakugxile komunye umkhiqizo we-Lockheed Martin owawusathuthukiswa ngaleso sikhathi, i-F-16 Lightning II. Idizayini entsha bekufanele inikeze inzuzo yobuchwepheshe futhi ivumele i-F-100A / B Nec endala kakhulu ukuthi isuswe emugqeni. Ekuqaleni, kwakucatshangwa ukuthi kwakuzothengwa amakhophi ayi-2008, kodwa kakade ngo-75 uMnyango Wezwe wembula isicelo sokuthekelisa samakhophi angu-15,2. Kubalulekile ukuqaphela ukuthi i-Israel isiqalile ukucabangela ukuthengwa kokubili kokusuka kwakudala kanye nezinguqulo zokufika ze-A nezinguqulo eziqondile ze-B (ngaphezulu kwalokho kamuva). Iphakeji eshiwo ngenhla ibibiza ama-dollar ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-19, okungaphezu kwalokho ababekulindele abenzi bezinqumo eJerusalema. Kusukela ekuqaleni kwezingxoxo, ithambo lombango kwakuyizindleko kanye nokwenzeka kokuzisebenzela kanye nokuguqulwa yimboni yakwa-Israel. Ekugcineni, inkontileka yokuthengwa kweqoqo lokuqala lamakhophi ayi-2011 yasayinwa ngoNdasa wezi-2,7 futhi yafinyelela cishe ku-2015 billion wamadola aseMelika. Iningi lala mali livela ku-FMF, eyakhawula ngempumelelo ezinye izinhlelo ze-Hejl HaAwir zesimanje - kuhlanganisa. ukutholwa kwendiza efaka uphethiloli noma indiza yokuthutha i-VTOL. NgoFebhuwari XNUMX, kwasayinwa isivumelwano sokuthenga isigaba sesibili, kuhlanganisa.

izimoto ezingu-14 kuphela. Sekukonke, i-Israel izothola izindiza ze-5,5 ezibiza ama-dollar ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-33, ezizothunyelwa ku-airbase ye-Nevatim ogwadule lwaseNegev.
