Mert pl. nem azok okozzák a legfőbb problémát, hanem drónok és a CM-ek?
Ezenkívül ezek régi gépek: talán ki sem tudják használni az újabb AMRAAM-ok hatótávját a 20+ éves radarjaikkal. Ezekkel a régi gépekkel szemben "valszeg hatótáv" fölényben vannak a legújabb orosz vadászok (SU-35, 37 stb.) radar és rakéta tekintetében.
Nincs. Olvass utána, írtam róla eleget, elégszer. Itt is, máshol is.

technikailag van, bár tényleg nem került gyártásba.
2000 óta nincs olyan, hogy Szu-37. Negyedszázada.
Hülye angol wikipedia helyett olvasd inkább a magyar Szu-35 szócikket.
Ha jól emlékszem, a boldogult Top Gun magazinban volt erről cikk, elég sokáig kergetőztek mire az F-16 elkapta az Bronco-t.
Valahol van is egy hosszabb videó erről...

Animáció erről DCS segítségével, a videót már nem engedi hozzá tűzni.
Van nekem egy jóideje Magyarországon élő venezuelai kollegám, aki odakint a venezuelai légierőnél volt szerelő.
Hozzá került az egyik lelőtt Bronco egyik kabinjából származó ülésheveder.
Érdekes relikvia, el is akartam kérni, de mondta, hogy a Caracas-i lakásában maradt, azt meg minden holmijával, berendezési tárgyával együtt a helyiek időközben szétlopták

WASHINGTON, December 01, 2025
The State Department has made a determination approving a possible Foreign Military Sale to the Government of Bahrain of F-16 Sustainment and related equipment for an estimated cost of $445 million. The Defense Security Cooperation Agency delivered the required certification notifying Congress of this possible sale today.
The Government of Bahrain has requested to buy aircraft components; missile containers; radar receiver component parts; guidance and control section spares; weapons system support; ground handling equipment; and instruments and lab equipment that will be added to a previously implemented case whose value was under the congressional notification threshold.
The original Foreign Military Sales case, valued at $47 million ($0 in major defense equipment), included major and minor modifications; Computer Program Identification Numbers (CPINs); aircraft maintenance support equipment; launcher spare parts and support equipment; spare parts, consumables and accessories, and repair and return support; classified and unclassified software delivery and support; classified and unclassified publications and technical documentation; studies and surveys; transportation support; U.S. Government and contractor engineering, technical, and logistics support services; and other related elements of logistics and program support. The estimated total cost is $445 million.
This proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national security of the United States by helping to improve the security of a major non-NATO ally that is an important force for political stability and economic progress in the Middle East.
The proposed sale will improve Bahrain’s capability to meet current and future threats by providing a credible force that can deter adversaries and provide the capability to participate in regional operations with the United States and other U.S. partner nations. Bahrain will have no difficulty absorbing this equipment into its armed forces.
The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the basic military balance in the region.
The principal contractors will be General Electric Aerospace, located in Evendale, OH; and Lockheed Martin Aeronautics, located in Fort Worth, TX. At this time, the U.S. Government is not aware of any offset agreement proposed in connection with this potential sale. Any offset agreement will be defined in negotiations between the purchaser and the contractor.
Implementation of this proposed sale will not require the assignment of additional U.S. Government and U.S. contractor representatives to Bahrain.
There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a result of this proposed sale.
The description and dollar value are for the highest estimated quantity and dollar value based on initial requirements. Actual dollar value will be lower depending on final requirements, budget authority, and signed sales agreement(s), if and when concluded.
