幻象2000逐步淘汰 國軍採購新戰機？F/A-18E/F超級大黃蜂真的適合臺灣嗎？

Hello, everyone. Welcome to the New Cold War Room. I'm Lin Yuanshan. Do you want to buy it or not? It's a big deal for the Taiwan Air Force Let's take a brief look at the history of the big Huangfeng You know, the F-A-18 Huangfeng was developed further on the basis of the YF-17 eye-guard prototype designed by the U.S. trade company Enosrop The first generation of fighter jets officially entered the U.S. Navy in 1983. After dealing with land battles, the U.S. purchased a total of 410 F-A-18ABs B is a twin and 605 F-A-18CDs The D here is a twin As for F-A-18, why can't it be simply called F-18 like F-14 and F-15? Mainly because the U.S. Navy proposed to use it to replace the F-4 fighter jets A-4 and A-7 attack aircraft at the beginning of the project In other words, the A in F-A-18 actually means that it also has the characteristics of an attack aircraft It can be said that the big Huangfeng is the first American Navy to have a fighter and an attack aircraft By the 1990s, the U.S. Navy had a large number of old A-61 attack aircraft, and the A-12 stealth attack aircraft, which had radar anti-track capability, was rejected by Congress because of the end of the Cold War Therefore, Boeing improved the F-A-18CD and launched the F-A-18EF super Huangfeng Compared with the F-A-18CD, the F-A-18EF can be said to have made a big breakthrough The entire fuselage is 30% larger and the air intake is oval-shaped with a parallel quadrilateral and a new F-414 engine Its biggest feature is that its radar reflection interface has been reduced by about 10% As you know, the Taiwan Air Force purchased 60 F-2005s in the 1990s to replace the F-104s It was deployed at Hsinchu Base as a interceptor, but it was expensive because of its operation and maintenance costs According to the data provided by the Taiwan Ministry of Defense in 2009, the operating cost per hour was as high as 800,000 yuan, much higher than that of the F-16's 160,000 yuan and the IDF's 250,000 yuan The annual maintenance cost is also as high as 14 million yuan In addition, France is worried about offending Beijing and is unwilling to assist Taiwan in upgrading. All the news that allows the fantasy plane to retire in advance is repeatedly spread On April 1, 2015, a F-A-18C of the US Navy was on its way to Singapore for a drill Because of the failure of the engine, the Tainan Air Force Base was demolished Since then, the news of the purchase of the Dahuangfeng series of fighter jets has been repeatedly spread, including the two F-A-18CDs and the new F-A-18EF The F-A-18CD is considered a more economic choice But there is also a problem The F-A-18CD of the US Navy is now busy in the Middle East and Afghanistan War of Terrorism The number of aircraft carriers landing is earlier than planned The plane is worse than the F-A-18EF But the new F-A-18EF is a super big Huangfeng and it must cost more So this is also to a certain extent that Taiwan is in a dilemma The media reported that many Taiwan Air Force retirees believe that they should not buy the F-A-18 Dahuangfeng series of fighter jets Even the latest F-A-18EF The main reason is that it takes at least five years to form an effective air force based on Dahuangfeng fighter jets And the super big Huangfeng belongs to the Navy It is a different system from the F-16V air force fighter purchased now The Taiwan Air Force even needs to plan a new set of training rules for this Undoubtedly, it increases the complexity of air force training These are the two main reasons The report also mentioned that another retired Air Force officer pointed out Under the current training of the Air Force, the F-A-18EF can be used for another 15 years He was even more angry that Taiwan should buy the F-A-18EF super big Huangfeng It should just be the words of a military agent He did not consider the actual needs and difficulties of the Air Force So this is still a hot topic But I think these retired officers are all just talking about the bad side None of them talk about the advantages of the super big Huangfeng Is the super big Huangfeng worth buying? Does the Taiwan Air Force really need it? Let's first look at some basic data on the F-A-18EF super big Huangfeng fighter jet This aircraft is 18.31 meters long, 13.62 meters wide, 4.88 meters high The wingspan is 46.5 square meters, the air weight is 14.5 tons, the standard take-off weight is 21.3 tons, and the maximum take-off weight is 29.9 tons In terms of size, the super big Huangfeng fighter jet is much larger than the F-A-18 big Huangfeng fighter jet in terms of size and tonnage These key indicators are similar to the F-16 heavy fighter In order to deal with these improvements, the F-A-18EF super big Huangfeng fighter jet uses two F-414 turboprop engines from General Electric The maximum thrust of this engine is 62.3 kN, and the maximum thrust is 98 kN However, these two engines are mid-range thrust engines after all Compared to the F-100 and F-110, the third-generation large-thrust turboprop engines, there is still a fundamental difference in the maximum thrust Due to the large size of the super big Huangfeng fighter jet, the magnitude of the engine thrust is not large These shortcomings result in the maximum speed of the super big Huangfeng fighter jet is only 1.8 mph The maximum take-off weight is only 7.6 kilos In the case of standard take-off and landing, the total thrust ratio is only 0.93 These figures are nothing special compared to the traditional F-15 and F-16 fighters To put it simply, the F-A-18EF super big Huangfeng fighter jet is a brand new fighter jet But these key indicators of air combat do not rise and fall However, the key is that the F-A-18EF super big Huangfeng fighter jet did not pursue these indicators too much at the beginning of the design But the key is to improve the combat radius of the fighter jet and the advanced air-to-air system and the strong ability to hang Higher reliability and extremely low cost of use and maintenance are the real advantages of the super big Huangfeng First of all, the F-A-18EF super big Huangfeng has an internal fuel load of 6.6 tons This indicator is a very high level in the fourth generation of American fighter jets In addition, the super big Huangfeng can also hang four large sub-fuel tanks and can also add nearly six tons of fuel These improvements can ensure that the F-A-18EF fighter has a maximum range of 3,300 kilometers Due to the size of the fuselage, the F-A-18EF super big Huangfeng has 11 hang points in total It can hang eight tons of sub-fuel tanks and all kinds of air-to-air, air-to-ground, and air-to-ship weapons For example, the famous AIM-9X, the AIM-120, the AGM-65 air-to-ground missiles AGM-84HK air-to-ground missiles, AGM-88 anti-radar missiles, AGM-154 joint attack missiles, AGM-84 air-to-ship missiles, etc. In addition, it can also hang various types of J-10 joint direct attack missiles, GBU-series laser-guided bombs This configuration has the overwhelming technical advantage of air force fighters facing the vast majority of countries Reliability and cost of the F-A-18EF super big Huangfeng According to U.S. media, the F-A-18EF super big Huangfeng has a daily launch rate of nearly 80%, which is much higher than other American fighter jets According to statistics, the F-A-18EF super big Huangfeng is only equipped with U.S. Navy and Australian Royal Air Force Among them, the U.S. Navy is equipped with 33 fighter jets, four test aircraft, a total of more than 550 Since 1999, the F-A-18EF super big Huangfeng has been deployed to the U.S. Navy To replace the F-14 Panda-style air-to-air fighter jets and A-6 air-to-air fighter jets Therefore, the F-A-18EF super big Huangfeng can be both air-to-air and air-to-air Became the only main force of the American aircraft carrier aircraft in the early 21st century Various facts have shown that this fighter jet seems mediocre, but its combat effectiveness is indisputable In the future, in addition to the constant improvement of performance, the number of these aircraft will also be expanded The F-35C fighter jet, the latest in the U.S. Navy, will be the main force of the U.S. Navy's aircraft carrier aircraft In other words, although the new generation of aircraft carriers, the F-35C, has been recognized by the U.S. military and is gradually being replaced But after all, the price is not high, and the number of production is limited So the U.S. Navy still can't fully give up the super big Huangfeng fighter jet Even the Department of Defense intends to purchase an upgraded version of the new aircraft to strengthen the fighting force For example, in 2019, the Pentagon gave Boeing a $4 billion deal Buy 78 F-A-18EF super big Huangfeng fighter jets from Boeing Including 61 single-seat E and 17 double-seat F These models are all in the third batch of Block 3 upgraded version The flight life is extended from 6,000 hours to 10,000 hours The U.S. Navy is expected to use the super big Huangfeng by 2033 after the Block 3 upgrade The Boxing oil tank is the most intuitive improvement of the Block 3 upgrade plan The Boxing oil tank is a cargo tank that is closely integrated with the fuselage structure and can increase the flight time of the fighter at the same time Compared with the traditional external cargo tank, it can also reduce air resistance and will not occupy a precious heavy outboard point So that the fighter can carry more combat load The Block 3 upgrade package also includes Lockheed Martin's front-line infrared search and tracking system IRST21 It also uses a new computer and data chain system to help Block 3 super big Huangfeng and E-fighter and E-2D pre-warning aircraft To exchange a large amount of data and integrate real-time information to maximize the limit of the pilot to provide a sense of the situation For the U.S. Navy, since the stealth fighter F-35C has been adopted The main mission of the super big Huangfeng Block 3 will not be to control the air, but to play a role similar to a bomb truck In action, the super big Huangfeng, which has the advantage of bombing capacity, will play the role of a ground sniper The stealthy F-35C, which has the advantage of stealth and sensors, will infiltrate the opponent's air defense network To provide target guidance for the super big Huangfeng, which will play a role of long-term coordination So, in short, if the United States is willing to let the super big Huangfeng to Taiwan Instead, it has gradually forced the use of thin lines to maintain the high cost of replacing 2,000 fighters And the advanced F-16V fighter with a high sense of posture That's a great thing for improving the air force in Taiwan The air force has now replaced more than 300 of its 2,000 and F-16 fighters According to the regulations of the Ministry of National Defense, the ratio of aircraft seats and pilots is 1.5 But the ratio of the national army fighters is actually only 1.33 Equivalent to a fighter, the average can only be divided into 1.33 pilots, enough to show that the number of fighter pilots is insufficient According to the Ministry of National Defense, the number of qualified pilots for the air force F-16 fighter in August 2011 to 2019 was 129 But the number of pilots who were supposed to fly half a mile away was 108 The air force's new 66 F-16V fighter will be deployed at the Taitung Air Base It is expected to require about 100 pilots to maintain operation How to make up for the shortcomings of the new fighter operators It's a big headache for the air force to maintain its position What are the reasons why the air force in Taiwan is difficult to find qualified pilots In addition to the high proportion of Taiwanese people, the airline Majiao is also a major reason The civil aviation has a movement of 300,000 months, of course it is more attractive So after the service period is full, most of them will choose to jump to civil aviation companies with better treatment In order to attract these pilots to stay, the former chief of staff Shen Yiming has been pushing hard to pay the cost of flying A middle school pilot can get 250,000 yuan a month, which is higher than the Ministry of National Defense During the global spread of the new coronavirus epidemic, the international aviation industry was hit by the epidemic The low-profile aviation industry has made many pilots give up the idea of turning to civil aviation In 2020, there were no pilots who gave up But the global epidemic gradually slowed down in the second half of last year The Taiwan Air Force is facing the problem of pilots jumping to airline companies again So it's hard to be a little rich If the Taiwan Air Force wants to maintain air defense, no matter what kind of fighter you use The most important thing is how to keep excellent pilots in the post-epidemic era To avoid being a kind of organic but inoperable Or maybe someone will jump to the front line for the CCP's huge money I'm Lin Yuanshan. Thank you for watching Star Wars Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Good. It's freedom fried rice. This is all the great taste of freedom And to the freedom-loving people around the world I want to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
