Rumores y discusión sobre el próximo multirrol que no fue para la FAA

En el pobre/nulo/desconocido rendimiento de los productos ofrecidos por los chinos.
Por algo, el socio principal para fabricar la porquería ésta, y otras,Paquistán,solo compra el fuselaje y el motor a los chinos, y el resto es occidental.
Asiento, avionica,radar y en algunos casos, armamento.

Asiento es occidental, aunque podría ser chino. La aviónica es en la práctica completamente china. El radar es chino (KLJ-7). Ferretería en su gran mayoría es china , aunque es compatible con armas occidentales.

Cordiales Saludos
 
Yo, paso.
Repito, el principal usuario de exportación de productos aeronáuticos chinos,Paquistán,solo le compra los fuselajes con las turbinas.
El resto, todo oocidental,desde el J-6,hasta la actualidad.
Pero a veces ese es el problema Miche,paso por que no me gusta o nada.
Por lo comentado aca no hay mucho para elegir si se trata de buscar un avion supersonico.
el tutuca,el Kfir o el Mirage 2000,cada uno con sus pro y contras.
 
A lo que voy es que era un contrato millonario, lo que se pedía era lo que aparecía en los requerimientos y cada empresa presento sus ofertas y resulto ganadora Dassault.. Cuando se dio cuenta que India no estaba a la altura para en principio absorber muchas tecnologías del Rafale y después para producir un un Rafale bajo los estandar de calidad que la misma Dassault establecía, poco importo la millonada de guita que India estaba dispuesto a pagar, el contrato se cayo y se cayo..Que queda para nosotros?
Es verdad que Dassault no es el único proveedor quizás haya otros menos exigentes, pero hay algo que no tiene que ver con el proveedor y es la capacidad nuestra de absorber mucha de esa transferencia de tecnología que acá se demanda en un concurso..
El caso Chileno no lo tomo de ejemplo porque prácticamente fue una compra llave en mano, pero vamos mejor al caso Brasileño..
Brasil si te fijas no compro pensando en las capacidades del avión ya que si vamos al caso había aviones con mayores capacidades en ese concurso, sino que selecciono una empresa que le brindara capacidades que no tenia con respecto a nuevas tecnologías en la fabricación de aeronaves, el avión venia en el paquete cual vagón de cola en una formación de tren larguísima..Ahora fijate, Brasil aun teniendo un desarrollo importante en materia aeronáutica industrial con Embraer y sus empresas asociadas, cuantos años tardo y va a tardar en asimilar todas las tecnologías del Gripen? De nuevo que queda para nosotros que seguimos insistiendo con el Pucara Fenix y el Pampa aviones concebidos en los 70/80 del siglo pasado..

Seguir el ejemplo chileno, comprar llave en mano.

Al contrario.
Los que proponen la basura esa para la FAA, lo hacen contra viento y marea, pasandose por donde no da el sol, todos los cuestionamientos que dieron desde;
-El MdD.
-El MdE
-FADEA
-FAA.
Pero dale que dale con esa porquería....
 
Estimado, el JF-17 fue descartado por cuestiones técnicas por la FAA.

No entiendo como un informe técnico negativo de una Institución profesional seria, se pueda revertir por otras cuestiones.
No es serio, o a nivel técnico lógico pensar, que porque no hay otra cosa, ahora el producto sirve.

Pero contestando su pregunta, el hecho que Fadea "revise estándares" de otros fabricantes implica tener mas tecnología que la que nos ocupa, la licencia sobre los mismos y el permiso del fabricante, y además acceso a otros equipos/proveedores que se puedan certificar en ese aparato.
No se sabe con certeza el origen de los diferentes equipos de aviónica del aparato, que se suponen, son chinos.

Para que los chinos permitan su acceso o cambios deben autorizar el acceso a los códigos fuente de los mismos.
Por cuestiones políticas, creo que no permitirían que por ejemplo Israel, acceda a los mismos, ya que es un proveedor importante de India, rival de China y Pakistán.

Cuál es el negocio de China/Pakistán..?
El negocio es la postventa, aparte en el avión sólo se ve integrado armamento de origen chino.

Queda el asiento eyector MB, que no creo que el Congreso de EE.UU permita que se instale el Aces5, en un avión chino.
Opción Svezda, que no se conoce.

Para tener acceso a todo esto, hay que hablar de una inversión importantísima.

De hacer todo este enroque, vería mas lógico que se invierta en cambiar los equipos de origen okupa del FA-50, avión seleccionado por la FAA, de calidad superior, menores costos operativos y con mayores posibilidades de evolución.

Pero como eso requiere una decisión del MinDef, y además de la plata falta decisión, no creo que se haga absolutamente nada...

Saludos.

El tema, es que por el lado occidental, ¿Qué armamento estaría fuera del veto británico?
-Pides AMRAAM, los ingleses gritan. USA preferirá conservar las relaciones con su aliado de primer nivel.
-Pides MICA, los ingleses gritan. Francia preferirá conservar buenas relaciones con un aliado con el que desarrollan distintas colaboraciones industriales.
-Miras componentes y hasta los asientos son ingleses o de licencia inglesa (Mirage 2000)
No queda otra que jugar con armamento oriental e israelí para disuadir.
Otro argumento a favor del JF-17 es que no tienes que cambiar demasiado en comparación a lo que tienes que cambiar en el FA-50 para que te lo puedan vender.

Que radar usa la tutuca paquistaní?
Que asiento usa la tutuca paquistaní?
Que designador usa la tutuca paquistaní?
Y decime de paso, que radar,asiento, sistema de comunicación,mira, y armamento usan/usaban los paquitaníes en sus Q-5/J-6 y F-7?
 
Asi y todo,ponderan la tecnologia china como superior a la rusa salvo en turbofan.
Cosa que no creo.

Puede que sea cierto . . . Muchas páginas están reflejando eso. Sería el resultado de la cantidad pavorosa de fondos (mas otros recursos) que le están metiendo a su industria.

Cordiales Saludos
 
Ni siquiera el motor es chino, sino ruso de las series RD-33 MK (vida 4000 horas) más aviónica occidental.

Por eso me parece más aceptable la versión paki que la propuesta china.

Saludos
El RD-93MA, evolución del actual RD-93, recien ha empezado pruebas en 'laboratorio' (test bench), faltan las pruebas de vuelo. No sé cuál es el calendario del Thunder batch 3, pero pueden esperar un tiempo aún hasta tener esta 'nueva' turbina.
 
Que radar usa la tutuca paquistaní?

El que mencioné , el KLJ-7

Que asiento usa la tutuca paquistaní?

Uno de MB . . . Si dije que era occidental.

Que designador usa la tutuca paquistaní?

El de ASELPOD . . . por eso puse "en la práctica".
Y decime de paso, que radar,asiento, sistema de comunicación,mira, y armamento usan/usaban los paquitaníes en sus Q-5/J-6 y F-7?

Yo me refiero al JF-17. De los aparatos que menciona pasaron unas décadas ya.

¿Y en qué fundamentan la decisión? Porque según este artículo de ZM firmado por Grulla :

China supera a Rusia en tecnología aeronáutica militar​

https://www.zona-militar.com/2020/11/15/china-supera-a-rusia-en-tecnologia-aeronautica-militar/
Y sumele que China puede dar crédito a largo plazo e imagino que sus aviones no pueden ser vetados por el Reino Unido.
El Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) ha concluido que China está en camino de eclipsar a Rusia en el campo de los aviones de combate.
...
En un informe reciente, el grupo de expertos con sede en el Reino Unido sostiene que Rusia y China están en trayectorias diferentes en el desarrollo de aviones de combate, con China tomando una clara ventaja en áreas como sensores, enlaces de datos, armamentos y tecnología de baja observabilidad. El único ámbito en el que Rusia mantiene una ventaja sobre China es en los motores militares de aviación.
...
Entre los cazas ligeros, RUSI sostiene que la familia Chengdu J-10 es «significativamente más eficiente y flexible que la vieja serie RAC MiG-29/35».

Recuerdo que cuando se fua a intentar probar la tutuca, hubo algun (ex?) militar Chino que decia que para la FAA debiera ser el J-10 y no la tutuca.

En realidad es la variante RD93,cambiaron la caja y no se que modificacion mas,pero acortaron a 2200hs.
Lei en algun lado que un mariscal pakistani de la fuerza aerea dijo que volaron 7000 sin ningun problema.
Es la versión paki la interesante
No la china,

también por estas razones, misiles sudafricanos como opción para el JF-17

DENEL DYNAMICS CERTIFIES A-DARTER AIR-TO-AIR MISSILE​


On 02 October 2019, Denel Dynamics announced that it completed the qualification and certification of its A-Darter, a high off-boresight (HOBS) air-to-air missile (AAM), in September.

Denel Dynamics’ A-Darter team conducted a Formal Qualification Review in August 2019. The certification of completion was provided by South Africa’s Directorate System Integrity (DSI) and Brazil’s Institute for Industrial Development and Coordination (IFI).

In its official press release, Denel Dynamics stated:

“The Type Certificate received by Denel Dynamics is the official acknowledgement that the A-Darter missile meets the technical, operational, logistical, industrial and safety requirements and therefore this concludes the development of the A-Darter missile.”
The Brazilian Air Force’s Department of Aerospace Science and Technology (DCTA) and Denel Dynamics – via the Armaments Corporation of South Africa (ARMSCOR) – began co-developing the A-Darter in 2006. However, Denel Dynamics had been doing work on a HOBS AAM prior to partnering with Brazil.

The goal was to develop an ITAR-free (i.e., free of US-controlled subsystems) HOBS AAM that the end-user can pair to a helmet-mounted display and sight (HMD/S) system. In other words, the A-Darter is analogous to the IRIS-T, AIM-9X, and ASRAAM (Advanced Short-Range Air-to-Air Missile).

In September 2018, Denel Dynamics announced that it completed integrating and qualifying the A-Darter for use on South Africa and Brazil’s respective Gripen multi-role fighters. Denel Dynamics was awarded a contract to perform the integration work in November 2016.

With the A-Darter ready for operational use, it will be worth observing what other countries procure the HOBS AAM. In 2015, the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) had listed the A-Darter as an option for use from its JF-17 Block 3, which the PAF expects to acquire by March 2020.

The then Chief Project Director (CPD) of the JF-17, Air Vice Marshal (now Air Marshal) Arshad Malik, stated

“Selex is one of the competitors in the AESA (active electronically scanned array) [radar] requirement. A-Darter, LD-10 anti-radiation missile, CM-400 anti-ship missile, range extension kits and other precision-guided munitions will further improve the jet’s combat punch.”[1]
Currently, Denel Dynamics is also developing the Marlin beyond-visual-range air-to-air missile (BVRAAM). Like the A-Darter, the South African munitions maker is open to partnering with an outside stakeholder.

PAKISTAN OUGHT TO CONSIDER THE DENEL DYNAMICS MARLIN MISSILE PROGRAM​


One of the central driving aspects of Pakistan’s armed forces procurement strategy is the need to avoid risks, complications, and added costs where unnecessary. It is for this reason that the vast majority of the country’s defence equipment – including those produced locally – are of foreign (mostly Chinese) origin.

Some are evidently straightforward imports, such as the Burraq unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and Barq laser-guided air-to-ground missile, and others are heavily customized and tuned-up off-the-shelf designs, such as the al-Khalid main battle tank (MBT). In exceptional cases, unique designs are developed with heavy Chinese assistance, such as the JF-17 multi-role fighter and potentially the Navy’s new submarine.

To be fair, this is not a bad strategy. A country’s defence requirements are never static, threats will keep changing and requirements will keep escalating. As a result, a developing country with scarce resources for high-tech armaments needs to be very pragmatic in its defence procurement strategies. The prospect of being sunk by a program’s escalating costs and restrained by its delays could be incredibly damaging if the financial cushion to sustain such obstacles are not present.

However, there is a cost to such an approach. It maintains dependency on external suppliers. It threatens disincentives towards domestic development efforts. It pushes the prospect of indigenous work further into the future, and in some cases, threatens to eliminate the incentive to engage in domestic research and development at all. For these reasons it becomes imperative for Pakistan to not take its external suppliers for granted, even in the best of conditions.

Even if the path to buying a readily available solution is present, in some cases it may be a viable practice to trust in the riskier and costlier route. This is especially true in areas that are technologically sensitive in nature, especially for vendors who are looking to maintain dependency in their markets as a means for recurring income, or to keep their cards as close as possible to their chests, so as to ensure enemies do not have access to sensitive information. Others will simply demand a high price for valuable technology and expertise, so as to offset the cost of losing a customer who may use that expertise to develop domestically sourced solutions. Of course, that is assuming the technology transfer is comprehensive.

One such area is missile technology for air-to-air and surface-to-air applications. On the surface, it may seem like Pakistan has no shortage of options, at least from China anyways. The SD-10 beyond-visual-range air-to-air missile (BVRAAM) has reportedly emerged as a good solution for use on the JF-17, and the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) could bank on its long-enduring relationship with Beijing to acquire next-generation designs, such as an export variant of the PL-15.

But the truth is that there is no export version of the PL-15, at least for the time being. There probably will be, but that is an assumption, and not necessarily a fact. Not every Chinese system has an export variant. From China’s point of view, the PL-15 would be its premium air-to-air missile, and potentially a valuable asset that ought to be sat on for a few years before made available for export. Meanwhile, India has the nearing prospect of acquiring the MBDA Meteor, a next-generation BVRAAM with a particularly high kill-probability rate. Granted, one can argue that China has a strategic interest to specially equip Pakistan, so as to enable Pakistan to relieve some of the pressure India is trying to apply on China. Even if this were to occur (a possibility), it does not negate the underlying problem – i.e. the fact that Pakistan has to anxiously wait for an external source in order to pursue its own needs. Even if one were to accept this line of reasoning, the prospect of actually sourcing next-generation BVRAAMs domestically would be a much more preferable outcome.

Of course, Pakistan does not have the foundation nor expertise to engage in such a program on its own. But it does have an opportunity to build that necessary groundwork. Fate would have it that there is an experienced vendor in the world willing to develop next-generation air-to-air and surface-to-air missiles (SAM), and to part ways from the technology and expertise used to develop them.

That vendor is Denel Dynamics, a South African firm. In exchange for funding the development of the Marlin, a program seeking to develop next-generation BVRAAM as well as SAM technology and solutions, the end-user could receive a heavy infusion of valuable technology and technology expertise. Above that, the buyer would acquire a design that it could freely integrate and use with the platforms of its choice.

By investing in the A-Darter 5th-generation within-visual-range air-to-air missile (WVRAAM), Brazil was able to push forward with its own seeker and electronic counter-countermeasures (ECCM) technology. It will also produce the A-Darter domestically. At this time, the A-Darter is also in the running for the PAF’s requirement of a 5th-generation WVRAAM for use on the JF-17 Thunder.

The Marlin (as an air-to-air missile) is expected to have a maximum range of 100km. The design’s dual-pulse rocket will also be purposed for SAM applications as well, likely along the trajectory of the Israeli-Indian Barak-8, which will equip various surface combatants in service with India and Israel. Given that Denel Dynamics already has a 60km-range SAM under development (i.e. Umkhonto-R), it is reasonable to project the Marlin SAM to at least begin as a short to medium-range (25-40km) system. But it is important to note that the dual-pulse rocket technology the Marlin uses could be further developed over time, thus opening up the prospect of a medium to long-range (60-90km) system.

It is evident that engaging in such a program would not only benefit the PAF, but it would be of value to the Pakistan Navy and the Pakistan Army. In fact, there are layers of results that could be accrued: First, the PAF would have a next-generation BVRAAM. Second, the Navy would have access to a SAM system that it could use aboard surface combatants such as frigates and corvettes. Third, the Army would have a SAM system as well, one that could be developed over time into a medium to long-range system. Fourth, Pakistan would be in possession of valuable dual-pulse propulsion, seeker, and ECCM technology, which it can use as a foundation to indigenously develop next-generation solutions.

There is a cost. The A-Darter program cost Brazil and South Africa $130 million U.S. India and Israel agreed to $330 million U.S. in order to develop the Barak-8 SAM. Investment in the Marlin could amount to several hundred million dollars. It would be unfair and disingenuous to suggest that the amount required would be minor or inconsequential.

However, does Pakistan have to be the sole funding partner? Not necessarily. It is possible that Pakistan’s funding could serve as motivation for others, such as Turkey, to co-fund as well. Turkey has a higher incentive at this point to acquire the same technology for its own uses, and it would not necessarily be averse to having Pakistan as a co-funding partner. Each partner could emerge with total access to the technology as well as the means to produce the systems domestically and to use them on their respective platforms. In fact, given the benefits that could be accrued from the program, the PAF does not have to be the sole backer within Pakistan. Each of the service arms ought to have an interest in the program, as should the country’s R&D players (e.g. NESCOM, AWC, SUPARCO, etc). There is potential here for cost-distribution, even within Pakistan (which would be helpful if Pakistan has to fund the program alone).

There are several ways to detract this idea.

First, it is an expensive idea, one fraught with substantial risk and complexity. However, the payoff of acquiring highly valuable technology that could be scaled for a wide range of strategically important applications. Moreover, Denel Dynamics is a seasoned vendor, it has the Marlin is actually a culmination of development going back 15-20 years, and the company has just proven that it could deliver the A-Darter – a 5th-generation WVRAAM akin to the AIM-9X and IRIS-T – if given the funding.

Second, one will argue that it would be more affordable to simply wait for China and the PL-15, or perhaps even an upgraded variant of the SD-10. To be frank, to suggest such an idea would mean making the assumption that the PL-15 would be exported in some shape or form. At this point, there is nothing to suggest that it will, not every Chinese system is made available for export. Granted, China could make some exceptions on the basis of pursuing its strategic interests, but this does not resolve the issue of having to depend on an external source. Alternatively, China could also offer a heavily upgraded version of the SD-10, and that would be a great option for the interim, but it does not compensate for having a next-generation design – i.e. a design that can be developed upon for decades into the future.

Third, one will note that Pakistan is a relatively risk-averse entity, one that will prefer to wait it out for the Chinese. In many cases, being risk-averse is a virtue, but there are situations where certain technology will not easily be acquired. The MBDA Sea Ceptor would be an ideal short to medium-range SAM system for use on the Pakistan Navy’s F-22P frigates. Unfortunately, one can without a doubt expect regulatory hurdles to get in the way of making such an acquisition feasible, and if not that, then certainly expect cost. Why not utilize Denel’s expertise to develop a comparable solution without any artificial limitations to performance? Why not call upon Denel to enable Pakistan to actually produce the system? The JF-17 has given the PAF a measure of freedom and authority that it has not had with any other platform, so why is this idea not being expanded to other critical aspects of the armed forces?

Fourth, South Africa requires funding and time to develop, others already have solutions available on the shelves. This argument completely omits the fact that in-exchange for the funding, Pakistan would receive a measure of technology transfer that Denel’s competitors will not offer. Pakistan can optionally tie its funding to achieve specific objectives, such as having a SAM system similar to the Barak-8, i.e. a medium to long-range system that is compact and light enough to be fit on the F-22P. Pakistan’s national funds are limited, why not use them to not only acquire a product, but acquire the means to produce it, to design it for multiple mission roles, and build expertise that can be used to indigenously source future solutions?

The late 2000s had put a dampener on Pakistan-South African defence relations (for multiple reasons with both sides being responsible). However, when the Chief Project Director of the JF-17 program noted the A-Darter as a contender for the Thunder’s WVRAAM requirement, it lent hope that ties between the sides could finally be returning. It is our hope that long-term interests are put ahead of short-term expediency.

En términos de desarrollo militar 5 meses es hace poco. Tienen que completar test en laboratorio, para poder recién empezar test en vuelo, y éstos también van a durar, y sólo luego van a poder ser integrados en las versiones de producción en serie del avión. Así que para mañana no es.

Aquí encontré lo siguiente:
...which means the JF-17 Block III would enter flight tests with the RD-93MA engine sometime in 2021-22 at the earliest.

En buen cristiano:
...lo que significa que el JF-17 Block III entraría en pruebas de vuelo con el motor RD-93MA en algún momento de 2021-22 como muy pronto.
