      @JimOHalloran Год назад

      When the Australian government was looking to buy Super Hornets and Growlers to replace the F-111 and bridge the gap until F-35 deliveries started the plan was to buy 24 F-18F Super Hornets, half of which would be pre-wired for conversion to Growlers in the future. In the end though, all 24 Supers were left as Supers, and the RAAF decided to buy an additional 12 new build Growlers. One of which (311) caught fire on takeoff during a Red Flag exercises in the US and it was replaced by a new aircraft that the US Navy had in storage (313). There are no more growlers on order to the best of my knowledge.

    To get an idea of just how underpowered the F-18 series is:
    2 × F-414-400 produce 44,000 lb, wet (just over the F-35A single TurboFan)
    F-15 EX - DRY General Electric - F110-GE-129: 17,000 lb-ft × 2
    F-15 EX - WET General Electric - F110-GE-129: 29,500 lb-ft × 2 (in AB)
    F/A-18E - DRY General Electric - F414-400: 13,000 lb-ft × 2
    F/A-18E - WET General Electric - F414-400: 22,000 lb-ft × 2 (in AB)
    F-22 - DRY Pratt & Whitney F119-PW-100: 26,000 lb-ft each or 52,000 × 2
    F-22 - WET Pratt & Whitney F119-PW-100: 35,000 lb-ft each or 70,000 × 2 (in AB)
    F-35A - DRY Pratt & Whitney F135-PW-100: 28,000 lb-ft
    F-35A - WET Pratt & Whitney F135-PW-100: 43,000 lb-ft (in AB)
    F-35A, P&W "GO1" (Growth Option 1), Completed testing & production-ready: May-17
    - Claimed Power Increase: +8-10% across all variants flight envelopes & improved,
    - Claimed Efficiency Increase: +5-6 % lower burn-rate, extending flight + loiter times
    Calculated out, result in:
    F-35A - DRY Pratt & Whitney F135-PW-100 (GO1): 31,000 lb-ft
    F-35A - WET Pratt & Whitney F135-PW-100 (GO1): 47,000 lb-ft (in AB)

      I like your analysis. Though, you made some mathematical errors when dealing with 2 engines in a few spots just FYI.
      Playing devil’s advocate-the F-18 is as designed this way for a reason-pretty much specifically for the Navy. It needs to be very good at low speed, maneuvering, and it needs engine redundancy. The Navy prioritizes engine redundancy, airframe size, and maintainability more than the other branches, because its access to resources is much more limited when deployed and accidents leading to a foul deck can compromise the safety of thousands at one time.
      Therefore, they needed two engines, and a small airframe, that prioritized maintainability and reliability above raw performance. That’s how you got two smaller engines that output about the same amount of thrust as an F-35’s single engine.
      I like the hornet, the F-35 was designed to be an air superiority and deep strike weapon. Using one engine instead of two, wasn’t the Navy’s preference, it was simply a compromise because of prohibitive cost.
      That and, the F-18 was originally designed to be a low-cost, lightweight complement to extremely expensive air superiority and fleet defense planes like the F-4, F-14 and F-15 (in the initial design competing for AF contract). Budget cuts in the 90s, led by geniuses like Cheney, left us with only these lightweight fighters.
      Then the F-35 took much longer than expected, the Navy cut the procurement size, and the F-22 was canceled by the Air Force (meaning the Navy had even less expected support).
      So we’re judging it at a bar it wasn’t designed to meet, and it’s been thrust into trying to meet by strings of bad decisions stretching across a decades.
      The Navy essentially panicked when China started to become an obvious near-peer threat. They didn’t have replacements for the F-14, EA-6, S-3 readily available and the F-35 was decades away from becoming available. So, they asked for the Super Hornet and Growler-bandaid options that were really never meant to be impressive or highly effective. Just good enough and readily available.
      So anyway, here we are. Thanks Bush, Cheney and Obama for screwing everything up.

    • @GoodCitizen-gm1tl
      @GoodCitizen-gm1tl 5 месяцев назад

      China’s cutting-edge electronic warfare (EW) capabilities are transforming the balance of power in the South China Sea, as shown by a recent encounter between US and Chinese forces.
      This month, the South China Morning Post (SCMP) reported on China’s enhanced EW capabilities by shedding light on a December 2023 incident between a US EA-18 Growler carrier-based EW aircraft and China’s Type 055 cruiser Nanchang in the contested South China Sea.
      SCMP says that in December 2023, the US Navy dismissed William Coulter, commander of US Electronic Attack Squadron 136 (VAQ-136), stationed on the USS Carl Vinson, citing a loss of confidence in his ability to command.
      The report says that a month later, the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) recognized the Nanchang’s crew for their actions against a US carrier fleet. It also notes that Chinese media highlighted an encounter involving an EA-18G, believed to be from Coulter’s squadron, and the Nanchang cruiser.
      The report mentions that PLA scientists recently disclosed in a Radar & ECM journal article that AI-enhanced radar gave the Nanchang an advantage over the EA-18G’s jamming capabilities.
      It claims that the EA-18G, manufactured by Boeing, has been upgraded since 2021 for future warfare but faces new challenges from the PLA-Navy’s (PLA-N) integrated radar systems and communication strategies.

      Its max speed is Mach 1.6 not 1600 mph. Mach 1 is the speed of sound. The speed of sound is much much slower than 1000 miles per hour.

      Ukraine does not need, nor do they deserve these. Most of the jamming capabilities of these are still classified. Why would we give them to an army that barely even has an airforce? They'd get shot down because they don't know how to fly them

      Ukraine didn’t attack first Russia did. Those Soviets want to rebuild the Soviet Union by exterminating Ukraine and america plus those commies made illegal terror weapons: T-14, Kirov, that Russian carrier of theirs, typhoons, Akulas and Su-57 terror jets.

    Really no gun? Then it's truly wasted to use this platform for EW when it has no close-in self defense ability. Better to use a non combatant platform instead.

      The EA-18G Growler is specifically designed for electronic warfare, focusing on disrupting enemy radar and communications systems rather than close-in self-defense. Its role as an electronic warfare platform maximizes its effectiveness in that domain.
