Mhm. I think it’s interesting that the F-15E over Afghanistan, coming from Qatar, and covering I’d say around 2800nm tour/retour fill up four or five times during one mission. Of course they fill up early to have enough on-board fuel to make it to friendly soil, but still this is only around 700nm max between refuellings.

I got this figures from a media briefing presented by Boeing on F 15 Silent Eagle: http://www.flightglobal.com/blogs/the-dewline/2009/03/f-15-silent-eagle-media-briefi.html At page 11/20 here is the combat radius of a straight F 15E with conformals and the (reduced) combat radius of the new Silent Eagle with the AMRAAMS squized in the conformals.

In Romania? U dreaming. GVMT get what he wants… Hell the bribery in armed forces of Romania is a long lasting tradition. But then again all companies were ready to pay something. Maybe SAAB and EADS are pissed because they already payed for something 😉

Are you so sure LM bribed someone?

edit: Looks like it’s an ECM bump of some sort.

Those are the frontal sector jammers.

The F-35 will allso be “fat”

This “fat’ baby will still outaccelerate a slim Rafale/Gripen…

ah, ok, dynamo, so, let’s see, its range (ferrying, so that means, going strait ahead) is given to be 1200 nautical miles in internal fuel… what does that mean? that means simply that if you go 600 miles, fly for an hour in circles, you won’t even be close to coming back…

So maybe you should do the math, 600 miles one way, 600 miles back, that’s full range on internal fuel, and it just got there eventually fired a missile, turned around and headed for home.

it’s LM who says so, so, did you get it now?

That’s two different mission profiles ! What’s so hard to understand? The source I indicated, shows a comparison between the most modern A/Cs with 3 EFTs and the F 35 without any.

these numbers are the same as those from LM’s JSF presentation to norway… there was a link a couple of pages earlier

You didn’t gt it, do you? The 600 nmiles is with 1 hour of CAP !

The 750 nmiles is with only 1 minute combat (the same for all the other planes in the comparison), i.e. just firing some missiles.
