When will Taiwan be able to buy When will Taiwan to buy F-35? Taiwan media said that may have to wait until 2035

Taiwan’s China Times published on the 25th “Taiwan’s when we can have a F-35″ report, the article explored the timetable for Taiwan has estimated that retrofitting aircraft will probably not as early as 2030, could even 2035 years later.

Article summarized as follows:

Japan asked the United States over the years has always been the highest of contemporary science and technology sold to the crystallization of F-22, has been flatly rejected by the United States, most recently Japan’s defense ministry has finally decided to seek a compromise and instead buy about 40 F-35 Joint Strike machine, In response to the Great Leap Forward in recent years in order to show the mainland air force posture.

However, due to the many R & D process flow, and countries determined by F-35 production and service time has long been delayed, resulting in the supply alone took part in the 11 countries (including Israel and Singapore, two members of the Security Cooperation), the fastest are also in 2014, the slowest to wait until almost 2020, and even after a formal service in 2025. Despite Japan’s claims to the United States in Asia’s most important ally, even if we can jump the queue to grab a part of the quota, so that by 2020 the first official service, it has also been a decade since the matter anymore.

Taiwan is neither a participant in the joint combat aircraft, and the relationship between the United States more than non-Japanese, together with mainland China factor, you would think, at this stage not with F-35 missed. Therefore, Taiwan’s arms purchase is currently locked target, but the last F-16 aircraft Block 52 kinds of class models.

So, what Taiwan can be achieved when the F-35 do?

Accordance with the time projection, if no major changes in production and supply due to just Israel and outside of Singapore among the major participating countries on more than 3000, while one after another in recent years, many have expressed strong interest in continually ranked next on the list Norway, Taiwan, the fastest time to obtain F-35 will probably not as early as 2030, could even 2035 years later, that is, deprivation of the recent United States is willing to sell Taiwan F-16 Block 52, this group of fighters with the existing F – -16, Mirage 2000-5, as well as IDF, at least have to survive on for more than 20 years have the chance to be replaced.

Japanese media reported that Japan’s new ship’s deck using high temperature material – Be able to takeoff and land F-35

Japan 183 20000-ton helicopter destroyerAccording to Youth Online “Youth Reference” reported that Japan’s “Asahi Shimbun,” 23, said Defense Ministry prepared to specifications comparable to the construction of light aircraft carrier of the DDH, to “deal with China’s growing naval power.” Against the outside world to the new DDH as a quasi carriers, defense ministry officials said the ship is not taking off and landing of fixed-wing aircraft the ability to use is the anti-submarine warfare and the protection of communication lines, is also not intended to make the introduction of fixed-wing aircraft, because it is not a ship “offensive aircraft carrier.”

Capable of carrying 14 helicopters

“Asahi Shimbun,” the article said it plans to build a DDH displacement was 1.95 million tons, fitted out in March of last year’s “Day to the” No. DDH displacement of 1.35 million tons, is the Maritime Self Defense Force’s largest active-duty warship, but the new DDH, once completed , will take away the title. According to the British “The Telegraph” analysis said the Ministry of Defense plans to buy about 40 US-made F-35 fighter, the aircraft is seen as the future of Japan to build a real aircraft carrier-based aircraft, when appropriate.

Japan’s new DDH long 248 meters wide and 38 meters, the standard equipped with 14 helicopters. As a comparison, the United Kingdom’s “Invincible” was a light aircraft carrier length 206 meters, width of 28 meters, the loaded planes 22. In addition, in order to meet the five helicopters landing at the same time, the new DDH of the bridge will be moved to the starboard side, so that the flight deck to achieve full channel, this layout with exactly the same carrier. This raised a question: whether Japan’s “peace constitution” conflict? In 1988 the Japanese government said in a statement, “As an offensive war potential of the carrier beyond the minimum level of self-defense needs, which the Constitution bans Japan from having such a ship.” Right, “Asahi Shimbun” reporter to mention this issue, the Ministry of Defense found it ridiculous, said the new DDH is a “necessity defense.” A defense ministry official said: “We need to use helicopters as far as possible away from the enemy’s missiles with a range of areas, to find and pay close attention to the submarine. Therefore, the construction of a helicopter can be equipped with multi-DDH is very necessary.” The official said, the new DDH is not a fixed-wing aircraft taking off and landing ability to use is the anti-submarine warfare and the protection of communication lines, is also not intended to make the introduction of fixed-wing aircraft, because it is not an “offensive of the aircraft carrier.”

With the carrier of technical transmission

For a long time, outside Japan, DDH would be treated as “quasi-light aircraft carrier,” because it has a straight-through flight deck and ship-island, with all the characteristics of a light aircraft carrier, as supplemented to build similar to the British “Invincible” aircraft like the 12 degree of slip jump deck, you can take off and land of US-made F-35B fighter. However, the Tokyo Institute of peace and security, Masashi Nishihara, had argued that: “DDH’s flight deck is too thin and unable to withstand the pressure of landing aircraft. For the taking off and landing fighter aircraft, the flight deck of the high temperature capability must be improved, otherwise F -35B fighter aircraft tail pipe heat generated by air will burn deck. In addition, the design was originally parked helicopter hangar lift lifting capacity and layout, are insufficient to meet the requirements to accommodate fixed-wing aircraft. “The implication of this statement yes – DDH only with the carrier a bit quite similar, while in stark contrast to the inherent purpose. Can be seen that Japan’s Asian neighbors to avoid his own DDH said to be an aircraft carrier.

However, Masashi Nishihara argument is questionable. Then built a “day to” No. DDH’s “home” – Ishikawajima-Harima Heavy Industries shipyard site describes the ship “production materials” section, clear the “cycle of cooling pipe with a high temperature, high-intensity large-scale plane plate “content. There is no doubt that this is used to make “day to” was the flight deck material, if used only for the helicopter, you do not have to use such high-grade materials. As to “the flight deck is too thin,” even without Kaopu, Ishikawajima-Harima Heavy Industries shipyard’s own admission, the “to” was the deck of the hardness to withstand more than 30 tons total weight of the MH-53E minesweeping helicopters take off and land, with a total weight is only 20 metric tons of F-35B fighter how can the “inappropriate”? Masashi Nishihara made on the “lift lifting capacity shortage” concerns, the Japanese “world ships” magazine have long said, “Japan to the” deck of the center’s two large numbers, up to 30-ton lift, it may not only for helicopters prepared for this.

The development of aircraft carrier “technology stepping-stone”

The pursuit of perfection on the Japanese national character, any input is a major arms deliberate. Use of terms from the ship, the Japanese service or under construction in the near future of DDH may not be easy to immediately “fade” as the aircraft carrier. Because so far, according to “Japan-US Security Treaty,” the mandate, the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force, as the U.S. 7th Fleet’s “auxiliary power” somewhat lower intensity of combat the “blocking and protection of pay” strategy to block Tsushima, Tsugaru, Soya Strait, and the three lines to defend the 1,000 nautical miles as its main task, its first anti-submarine warfare and mine-clearing escort Second, blockade the Straits. This determined the future of Japan’s four destroyers, as the flagship team of the DDH location, nor set off in the past, the Japanese anti-submarine destroyer role aircraft, which can carry up to 16 helicopters, so that the whole formation in the implementation of anti-submarine warfare mission, commander of the hands of Fleet there will be more helicopter patrols.

Overall, DDH should be seen as the precursor to development of the Japanese aircraft carrier, rather than “Japan’s first-generation aircraft carrier.” In 2000, the Japanese cabinet approved the “new defense force and reorganization of the medium-term plan”, the on the confirmation of the next generation of DDH “to retain fixed-wing aircraft equipped with the potential, but currently only equipped with anti-submarine helicopters, most important,” Japan’s Defense Ministry also repeatedly said that there is no the introduction of the Maritime Self-Defense Force fighter jet vertical takeoff and landing plans. Analysts believe that the outside world DDH’s “aircraft carrier the definition of” actually tell the hearts of the Japanese Ministry of Defense mantra – DDH does have all the external characteristics of an aircraft carrier, but in the current international situation, it can become a “first in East Asia aircraft carrier “and a” technical stepping stone. ”

U.S. experts say China may have obtained some of the F-22 and F-35 fighter planes technical

F-35 fighter jetsU.S. Global strategic networks on the 17th reported that the Chinese Air Force claimed that it will be within one year flight test performance, comparable to the U.S. military’s most advanced fighters of the new F-22 fighter planes, saying this new aircraft will be fitted out within a decade. In this regard, although the U.S. intelligence agencies believe China is still far unable to obtain this ability, but also that China may have obtained the construction of F-22 and F-35 fighter part of the performance of advanced technologies.

The article quoted U.S. intelligence experts as saying that China’s space technology, whether design or production capacity can not be independently developed F-22 or F-35 fighter levels, but China’s current self-designed two planes (J-10 and JF-17 ), it seems that China may have been capable of producing F-22 or F-35 fighter parts of the level of advanced technology.

The article said China’s development of an advanced fighter jet is one of the greatest difficulty in engine technology. 20 years China has been committed to the independent development of aircraft engines – any high-performance aircraft, a key component – of the production technology. Up to now, China has not received its most advanced fighter engines must produce all the production techniques and skills. For example, China is Russia’s RD93 engines (originally designed to provide the impetus for the MiG fighter -29) and an important customer, has purchased hundreds of which engine. At present, RD93 engine priced at approximately 2.5 million U.S. dollars.

Reported that China had developed a similar engine with the RD93 that WS-13, but Chinese sources said the engine will soon put into use. This engine in the development period, China received help from Russia, the latter providing the former with a key part of the engine to produce the required technology. Reported that China’s recent re-ordered an additional 100 units RD93 engines. The construction of high-performance military jet engines is not easy, the Chinese in this area have already experienced a number of difficult issues. This is not to say China can not get to build high-performance military jet engine technology, but access to this technology before they will inevitably need to Russian RD93 engines. According to Chinese official said that the reason for China to buy more units RD93 engines because they can not produce enough of the WS-13 engine.

Reported that the Chinese engineers have mastered the manufacture of Chinese version of Russian-made AL31F engine production technology, and research and development for the F -10 fighter and was put into operation two years ago is the Chinese version of the WS10A engine AL31F engines. However, the Chinese Air Force WS10A engine reliability and performance and not satisfied, from Russia ordered an additional 100 units AL31F engines coming off the production line as F -10 fighter’s heart. At the same time, Russia is also trying its rival with a new F-22 fighter planes to improve AL31 engine, but has encountered a number of serious problems. So, China can overnight beyond Russia?

F -10 fighter is China’s first independently developed an advanced fighter. The aircraft is to build planes that can compete with foreign made an attempt in modern fighter aircraft. F -10 fighter R & D work began more than 20 years ago, aims to develop a Russian-made MiG-with -27 or -29 and Su-US-made F-16 fighter jets comparable. However, up until 1998, when the prototype aircraft which began to conduct test flights. Until 2000 when the Chinese to solve the in-flight testing, we found some of the basic design flaw. To 2002, China built a nine prototype, but in subsequent flight tests also found hundreds of small problem.

Reported that the Chinese engineers, is this an excellent learning opportunity, but could not contend with the Russian-made fighter F -10 fighter Su -27/30 is also an indisputable fact. In fact, the F -10 fighter looks a bit like the US-made F-16 fighter jets, and the two planes is almost the same weight, is 19 tons. Different from Su -27, -10 F and F-16 fighter planes, like all single-engine.

Weighing 13 tons of the JF-17 fighter jets equipped with RD93 engines, is developed by US-made F-16 fighter planes low-cost alternative. Which aircraft jointly developed by China and Pakistan. Although the JF-17 fighters and early models of F-16 fighter capability rather, it is only equivalent to the effectiveness of the new F-16 fighter planes to 80%. Which fighters of the Russian Mig -33 aircraft aborted the project R & D base, equipped with electronic equipment manufacturers, mostly Western countries, while the Italian company is the main supplier.

JF-17 fighter jets capable of carrying weight of 3.6 tons of weapons systems, the use of radar-guided and heat guided missiles. Its maximum speed of about nearly 2,000 kilometers, a range of 1,300 km, service ceiling of 55,000 feet. So far, China still has not installed on its own whether it set out a decision FC-1/JF-17 fighter. Obviously, this is because China believes that the F -10 (autonomous R & D) and J -11 (built under license in Russia, the Chinese version of Su–27) fighters have been sufficient to meet their needs. However, with the JF-17 fighter similar to F -10 fighter’s performance and not achieved the desired results.
