Belgium’s Hard-Worked F-16 Fighter Jet Fleet Has Just Been Grounded Citat:Belgium’s entire fleet of F-16 fighter jets, the backbone of its combat air force, has been grounded since yesterday after one of the Vipers experienced problems with its Pratt & Whitney F100 engine. As of today, the air defense of the European country has now been taken over by the neighboring Netherlands.

Norvezani se spremaju za prodaju svojih F-16...jednog dela verovatno za pocetak
Norway might sell F-16s Citat:The Norwegian Defence Material Agency (NDMA) has contracted Kongsberg Aviation Maintenance Services (KAMS) to maintain a number of Luftforsvaret (RNoAF, Royal Norwegian Air Force) F-16 Fighting Falcons that have been taken out of active service and make them ready for commercial re-sale.
The contract initially applies for two F-16s, with an option to overhaul up to three additional aircraft. The work on the F-16s will take place at KAMS’ facilities at Kjeller, near Oslo, and if the option is exercised the last three aircraft are expected to be ready by the end of 2021. The fighters will be returned to operating status and then maintained so that they are ready for service again. KAMS has 40 years of experience in maintaining, repairing and upgrading Norway’s F-16 fleet.
A large number of RNoAF F-16s may potentially be relevant for repair and be readied for sale.

Rusi idu logikom brzina, dolet ili vreme koliko mogu ostati u zoni, te manevarske sposobnosti uz rakete velikog dometa. Umanjeni odraz bitan, ali manje važan. Veštačka inteligencija takođe.
Amerikanci će potencijalno pozajmiti deo tog pravca razmišljanja. Mogu da recikliraju svu postojeću tehnologiju, te da završe i usavrše prethodni prototip. Da li bi ovakav avion mogao postati realno? Definitivno ima moj glas. Više nego dovoljno da se parira protivnicima. Samo nisam baš siguran u dva vertikalca kao na slici u linkovanom članku, ukoliko žele razviti avion za godinu do dve.
