Za sada izgleda da ce biti podzvucan, odnosno da navodno USAF nije ni trazio supersonicni bombarder.

Колико ја видим, Амери су већи етатисти и ''партијаши''' него цео остали свет заједно. Да има мудрости и стручног опредељења, почели би опет да производе најбољу платформу - Б-52. Овако, сви могући лобији ће порадити на томе да се произведе што скупљи бомбардер који ће запуцати једном или двапут. Тако је било са више него извиканим Б-1 , тако ће бити и са овим. Сетите се само како су изгласали Регана да би могао да активира програм који је Картер стопирао.

Оно што њих стварно интересује јесу реални извори ударне моћи - а то су носачи и подморнице.

America Needs To Develop A New Bomber Now

Citat:The current bomber force is capable but aging. The heavy bomber force includes 76 B-52 Stratofortresses averaging 50 years of age, 63 B-1 Lancers averaging 28 years, and 20 B-2 Spirits averaging 20 years. Each of the bombers can deliver a mixed payload of precision munitions to an unrefueled range of 6,000 miles or greater. The B-52 is the only standoff cruise missile carrier in the fleet, the B-1 is the only supersonic bomber, and the B-2 is the only stealthy bomber. All three are facing age-related issues.

USAF Defends Need for New Long-Range Bomber

Citat:The new platform will be fielded in the mid-2020s, with penetrating capability in mind. The service will procure between 80 and 100 of the bombers, which will mostly be made with existing technologies. Those platforms will also have both stand-off and direct-attack munitions and room for a “significant” payload.

Bice izdat RFP (request for proposal) do jeseni.

Citat:Service officials have cited a cost figure of $550 million per plane as the ceiling for the program, but even that figure has some mystery to it. Outside observers have noted that the figure does not include research and development costs, which could drive up that amount.

Gen. Larry Spencer, the vice chief of staff for the service, described setting that price point as a way to keep requirements from skyrocketing during development.

“What has happened in the past when wave developed new platforms, what’s happened over time, is the price just starts to skyrocket as people just want to put more and more stuff on it,” Spencer said. “As technology changes, people want more and more capability.”

“We want to get 80 to 100 of these, and the only way to do that is to keep the price down,” he added. “So we have had to turn back the temptation to put more stuff on this bomber.”
