Umbani II ekushiseni kokugxekwa
Ngaphezu kwe-100 F-35A Block 2B / 3i ayilungele ukulwa. Ukuthuthukela kwabo kuBlock 3F / 4 kuthathwe njengokungenanzuzo.
Mhlawumbe uhlelo olubaluleke kakhulu lokuthuthukiswa nokukhiqizwa kwendiza ye-Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II enendima eminingi engxenyeni yesibili yonyaka kwaba ukushicilelwa kombiko ngekusasa lezibonelo ezingaphezu kwekhulu ezilethwe eMnyangweni wase-US. Ukuzivikela. Ukuvikelwa kuze kube sekupheleni kocwaningo nesigaba sokuhlola.
Uhlelo lwezindiza zezempi olukhulu kunazo zonke emhlabeni, naphezu kokuthola umfutho, lusaqhubeka nokurekhoda zonke izinhlobo zokuhlola okubucayi okuhlobene nebanga kanye nokubambezeleka. Lokhu kwakamuva kubonisa ngesikhathi esisodwa imizamo yawo wonke umnotho kanye nekhasimende ukudala nokusebenzisa uhlelo lwezikhali oluthembisayo.
Izibalo zohlelo lwe-F-35
Naphezu kokumenyezelwa kokulungela ukusebenza kokuqala yiqembu lokuqala le-US Air Force kanye ne-US Marine Corps, kanye nokuthunyelwa kwezimoto ngaphandle kwe-United States, isimo ngohlelo asisihle neze. NgoSepthemba 18, uMnyango Wezokuvikela wase-US wavuma ukuthi izindiza ezijwayelekile ze-Block 2 kanye ne-Block 3i azikakulungeli ukulwa. Njengoba kwaphawulwa ngokwezwi nezwi: esimweni sokulwa sangempela, wonke umshayeli wendiza ohlukile weBlock 2B kufanele agweme indawo yokulwa futhi abe nokusekelwa ngendlela yezinye izimoto zokulwa. Ngaso leso sikhathi, izindleko ezilinganisiwe zokuziguqulela/ukuzithuthukisa zibe inguqulo ye-Block 3F/4 zizofinyelela kumakhulu ezigidi zamaRandi - sikhuluma ngamakhophi angu-108 e-US Air Force kanye nezingxenye ezilethiwe ze-F-35B kanye no-F. -35C. Ukukhiqizwa kwabo esigabeni socwaningo nentuthuko [okuthiwa Isigaba se-EMD, phakathi kwalokho okuthiwa yingqophamlando B kanye nengqophamlando C, lapho ukukhiqizwa ngobuningi bemishini esanda kuthuthukiswa, ngisho nochungechunge lwe-LRIP, kungekho emthethweni; okuhlukile kwenzelwe i-F-35, yingakho okuthiwa. parallelism - ukukhiqizwa kusaqhubeka; Ngokusemthethweni nangokwezobuchwepheshe, ama-F-35 ochungechunge lwe-LRIP olwalandelayo akhiqizwa kuze kube manje angama-prototypes hhayi amayunithi okukhiqiza (amancane) - cishe. Okunye kwalokhu akuhlobene nesofthiwe, okungaba "lula" ukuyishintsha, kodwa nezinguquko zesakhiwo ezidinga ukuthi umshini ubuyiselwe kumkhiqizi ukuze ulungiswe.
Isizathu salokhu kuthutha kwaba yisinqumo soMnyango Wezokuvikela ukusheshisa lolu hlelo futhi wenze i-US Air Force ibe yesimanje (parallelism) ngokushesha. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, lokhu kungachaza ukuthengwa okuncane okunjalo yi-US Navy. Kusalindwe ukuphela kwesigaba socwaningo nentuthuko, kanye nenani elikhulu lama-Super Hornets e-F / A-18E / F amasha, i-US Navy yayingakwazi ukuthenga ama-28 F-35Cs kuphela.
Umbuzo wokuthi kuzokwenzekani kule mishini uvuliwe okwamanje - abahlaziyi baseMelika bakhomba izinto ezintathu ezingenzeka: ukuguqulwa okubizayo ukuya ezingeni lamanje le-Block 3F kanye nokusetshenziswa okwengeziwe ezikoleni kanye namayunithi aqondile, kusetshenziselwe ukuqeqeshwa kuphela (okungase kuhlotshaniswe nokuqeqeshwa okulandelayo abashayeli bezindiza abadlulisela kuma-F-35 amasha) noma ukuhoxa ngaphambi kwesikhathi futhi banikele kumakhasimende angaba khona okuthekelisa ngaphansi kwalokho okubizwa. "Ukulandelela okusheshayo" kusukela kuzinsiza zoMnyango Wezokuvikela ngokuzikhethela (ngezindleko zekhasimende) ukuthuthukela ezingeni elisha. Yebo, inketho yesithathu izoba yinhle ku-Pentagon no-Lockheed Martin, ababezonikezwa umsebenzi wokukhiqiza ama-airframe amasha eklayenti eliyinhloko lohlelo.
Akuyona yodwa inkinga lena. Naphezu kokukhula kokunikezwa kwemishini yama-serial, ukubambezeleka kuhlotshaniswa nokwandiswa kwengqalasizinda kanye nezinsiza zokugcina. Ngokombiko wombuso ka-Okthoba 22, ukubambezeleka kuneminyaka eyisithupha kunesikhathi ebesilindelekile—isikhathi esimaphakathi sokulungisa ukucisha sekuyizinsuku eziyi-172, okuphindwe kabili kunokulindelekile. Esikhathini sikaMasingana-Ncwaba kulo nyaka. U-22% wezindiza zoMnyango Wezokuvikela zamiswa ngenxa yokushoda kwezinsimbi. Ngokusho kwe-GAO (i-US elingana ne-NIK), ukungathengi ngaphezu kwe-2500 F-35s, kodwa ukugcina izinga elanele lokusekelwa komsebenzi wabo kuzoba inselele enkulu yoMnyango Wezokuvikela - esikhathini esilindelekile sempilo yesevisi yeminyaka engu-60. , ingabiza u-$1,1 trillion.
