Sukhoi Su-35 Flanker-E Sukhoi

8:44 AM Tomas Akuino
Su-35 Flanker-E is the most excellent operational combat aircraft that have been generated Russia. This aircraft is a derivative of the Su-27 in the wake of the Soviet period as well as Flanker variants with high-speed, super maneuver and payload large enough weapons. Combined advanced avionics suit premises, make Su-35 is an enemy who really are at risk for each fighter the US including the F-22 Raptor. As an air superiority fighter, the most important advantages of Su-35 is the combined strength of height and speed-which is very likely the fighter can terrorize dengagn missile arsenal in the form of long-distance air. Time dogfight, Su-35 will launch a missile of supersonic speed of approximately Mach 1, 5 at an altitude of approximately 000 feet over 45.. He also has three-dimensional thrust-vectoring which gives exceptional maneuverability, advanced avionics and the strength of strong jamming. China is so desperate to be able to have this aircraft because it can be a tool to balance the F-35 purchased Korea and Japan.

F-22 and F-35 Integrated Training




Four F-22A Raptors from Joint Base Langley Eustis, which hosts Raptors of the 1st and 192nd Fighter Wings, deployed to Eglin Air Force Base to conduct integrated training with 58th Fighter Squadron F-35As early this month. The 58th Fighter Squadron “Mighty Gorillas” is the Air Force squadron of the three squadrons within the 33rd Fighter Wing, which is responsible for training Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps pilots on the three variants of the F-35. The Marine Corps’ VMFAT-501 “Warlords” is the F-35B training squadron in the wing, and the Navy’s VFA-101 “Grim Reapers” is an F-35C squadron training naval aviators.

The teamed aircraft flew interdiction, offensive counter-air, and defensive counter-air missions to gain experience in operating together and learn the complementary capabilities of the two aircraft in flying these missions.

From the very beginning of the protracted development of the two Air Force aircraft, they were intended to operate together, leveraging their stealth and sensor fusion capabilities to outclass all other existing aircraft and penetrate advanced integrated air defense systems. Now, as the F-35A approaches initial operating capability, the Air Force is beginning to work up the aircraft to bring initial concepts of operation to fruition, in operations with both fourth- and fifth-generation aircraft.

Chinook Helicopter Drop Ferrari



Over the next few weeks, some 200 handpicked journalists from all over the world will have the opportunity to try out Ferrari’s latest creation, the new FF sports car. Usually, a Ferrari presentation of this kind would take place at a race circuit, but not this time as Maranello chose the Plan De Corones ski resort in Italy to tout its new four-seater model’s all-wheel drive capabilities.

Being that the ski resort can only be reached by ski-lifts, Ferrari commissioned the help of the Italian air force to transport the two press cars at the top of Plan De Corones at 2,350 metres. A CH-47 Chinook transport helicopter from Viterbo’s 1st Regiment Antares and three Agusta 205 helicopters from the 4th Regiment Altair from the Italian air force in Bolzano, assisted Ferrari in moving the cars to the Dolomites. You can watch the air-lift in the video after the break.

US Military Presence in the Asia-Pacific and the Implications for Australia


The Australia-United States Ministerial Consultations (AUSMIN) talks next week come at a time when Australia’s most important ally is reassessing its strategic policy and disposition of forces in the Asia-Pacific region. Australia’s security has long depended upon a robust US military presence in the Western Pacific. But America’s pre-eminence is under challenge with the rise of China.

Bringing Back Cascoin At 6b VS 29b 36882, Hot Weapon


In the next few months the U.S. Air Force will have to pick the winner of the Light Attack Armed Reconnaissance Aircraft (LAAR) competition. This decision will influence how the U.S. Air Force carries out close air support (CAS) and counter-insurgency (COIN) missions, providing  a robust, cost-effective, easy to maintained and heavily armed irregular warfare platform.
