36 Block 20 su za obuku za sada a 149 su Block 30 i 35, oni su borbeni. Kada su krenuli 2010. da modernizuju blokove sa novim softverom/mogucnostima bilo je 63 Block 30 i 87 Block 35, tada.

Block 30 - mogucnost bombardovanja i novi modovi za radar
Block 35- AIM-120D i AIM-9X i visenamenski data link

Lokid nudi modernizaciju ovih 36 Block 20 kao kontru ovima sto traze proizvodnju novih.

Интересантна стварчица:
F-22 Raptor retrofit to take longer, but availability hits 63%

Да ли ово значи да их је око 63% спремно у сваком моменту...тј онда на ову цифру око 95 комада оперативно у сваком моменту?...или погрешно разумех...

67 % po ovom izvestaju http://www.mycity-military.com/Ostalo-3/Americke-v.....l#p1791865

Po ovom

Citat:Carlisle said deployed F-22s are turning in a “75 to 80 percent mission capable rate, which is in line with airplanes we’ve been flying in the inventory for decades.”

The low observables maintainability “is still something we’re working on,” he said, but no F-22 sorties have been scrubbed for maintenance.

Parts are somewhat in short supply, but that’s because the F-22s are flying vastly more hours than expected. “We’ve exceeded those [planned and funded] hours by thousands of hours,” Carlisle said, compelling USAF to find extra funding to make up the shortfall.

Even so, “when supplies are short,” deployed aircraft get precedence and turn in better mission capable rates than jets at home station.

The Rapid Raptor deployment in August to Europe also was “amazingly successful,” he said. “We flew 100 percent of the sorties,” operating from bare-bones bases.

Стоји што кажеш,али реално...чему служи...нит тако нешто имају Руси нит Кинези,па ко би се на планети усудио да их нападне...

Ameri su pare za razvoj F-22 potrosili jos 1990tih i ranih 2000tih tako da sad samo imaju trosak odrzavanja flote. Sa druge strane ostali tek razvijaju svoje dvomotorne steltove i na to trose dobre pare, pa niko ne pita cemu to zar ne?

Da nije F-35 toliko bitan za Lokid i njegov lobi bilo bi logicnije pitati cemu F-35 jer za troskove tog programa mogu da nastancuju oho ho novih F-22 koji bi imali nove senzore i naoruzanje i naravno da modernizuju stare.

Pa u vecem interesu im je za sada F35 kojeg ce ga kupiti svaki americki saveznik nego F22 stim sto su potrosili sve te pare na F35 razvoj plus produkcija mogli su imati vise Raptora no Kina i Rusija lovaca zajedno, samo sto Raptori su trosak za Americki budzet dok na F35 planiraju da vrate ulozeni novac.

Trosak su sad samo zbog odrzavanja i modernizacije. Povracaj para od F-35? To tek treba da vidimo.

Mean mislio sam na to da planiraju da svaki njihov saveznik kupi taj F35 pa kroz djelove i nadogradnja koje ce opet ici kroz njihove firme vratiti dio ulozenog novca, no za sada najbitnije im je ukloniti ove bugove sto ima software.

Secretary Carter Opposes Restarting F-22 Production

Citat:Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter weighed in on the recently revived debate about the F-22, telling reporters May 12 that he is against resuming production of the stealthy fighter jet.

The Raptor, built by Lockheed Martin, was cancelled in 2009 at the insistence of then Secretary of Defense Robert Gates. At the time, Gates argued that the money required to build more aircraft would be better spent on other priorities at a time when the U.S. military was bogged down in Iraq and Afghanistan fighting low-tech insurgents.

Op,op, polako i docemo do ponovne proizvodnje...

Citat:outgoing chief of staff Gen Mark Welsh says it would not be a “wild idea” to resume production of an improved version of the F-22 Raptor air superiority jet.

Citat:“I don’t think it’s a wild idea,” says Welsh, who notes that the air force is already working with Lockheed to figure the exact cost and the "pros and cons" of such a scheme. "I think it’s proven that the airplane is exactly what everybody hoped it would be.

“We’re using it in new and different ways. It’s been spectacularly successful and its potential is really, really remarkable,” he continues.

Congress is considering a provision in its fiscal year 2017 defence policy bill that would require the air force to provide a cost breakdown and even consider foreign involvement in the project by 1 January 2017, but Welsh expects an answer about the cost much sooner.

“It’s not a crazy idea,” he says. “I think you’ve heard the secretary in the past say, and the air force say, that we think it’s cost-prohibitive. We’re going back right now and looking in detail at the number.”
