Az elmúlt időszak tapasztalatai alapján házirendet kapott a topic.
Ezen témában - a fórumon rendhagyó módon - az oldal üzemeltetője saját álláspontja, meggyőződése alapján nem enged bizonyos véleményeket, mivel meglátása szerint az káros a járványhelyzet enyhítését célzó törekvésekre.
Kérünk, hogy a vírus veszélyességét kétségbe vonó, oltásellenes véleményed más platformon fejtsd ki. Nálunk ennek nincs helye. Az ilyen hozzászólásokért 1 alkalommal figyelmeztetés jár, majd folytatása esetén a témáról letiltás. Arra is kérünk, hogy a fórum más témáiba ne vigyétek át, mert azért viszont már a fórum egészéről letiltás járhat hosszabb-rövidebb időre.

--- VÁLTOZÁS A MODERÁLÁSBAN ---
A források, hírek preferáltak. Azoknak, akik veszik a fáradságot és összegyűjtik ezeket a főként harcokkal, a háború jelenlegi állásával és haditechnika szempontjából érdekes híreket, (mindegy milyen oldali) forrásokkal alátámasztják és bonuszként legalább a címet egy google fordítóba berakják, azoknak ismételten köszönjük az áldozatos munkáját és további kitartást kívánunk nekik!
Ami nem a topik témájába vág vagy akár csak erősebb hangnemben is kerül megfogalmazásra, az valamilyen formában szankcionálva lesz
Minden olyan hozzászólásért ami nem hír, vagy szorosan a konfliktushoz kapcsolódó vélemény / elemzés azért instant 3 nap topic letiltás jár. Aki pedig ezzel trükközne és folytatná másik topicban annak 2 hónap fórum ban a jussa.

WASHINGTON, November 19, 2024
The State Department has made a determination approving a possible Foreign Military Sale to the Republic of Korea of F-15K Aircraft Upgrade and related elements of logistics and program support for an estimated cost of $6.2 billion. The Defense Security Cooperation Agency delivered the required certification notifying Congress of this possible sale today.
The Republic of Korea has requested to buy equipment and services to upgrade its F-15K aircraft fleet, including ninety-six (96) Advanced Display Core Processor II (ADCP II) mission system computers; seventy (70) AN/APG-82(v)1 Active Electronically Scanned Arrays (AESA) radars; seventy (70) AN/ALQ-250 Eagle Passive Active Warning Survivability System (EPAWSS) electronic warfare (EW) suites; and seventy (70) AN/AAR-57 Common Missile Warning Systems (CMWS). The following non-MDE items will also be included: Joint Mission Planning Systems (JMPS) with unique planning components; Computer Program Identification Numbers (CPINs); Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing Systems; major modifications and maintenance support; aircraft components, parts, and accessories; spare parts, consumables, accessories, and repair and return support; training aids and devices; weapons software and software support; classified and unclassified software delivery and support; classified and unclassified publications and technical documentation; personnel training and training equipment; aerial refueling support; aircraft ferry and transportation support; facilities and construction support; studies and surveys; 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 $6.2 billion.
This proposed sale will support the foreign policy goals and national security objectives of the United States by improving the security of a major ally that is a force for political stability and economic progress in the Indo-Pacific region.
This proposed sale will improve the Republic of Korea’s capability to meet current and future threats by increasing its critical air defense capability to deter aggression in the region and to ensure interoperability with U.S. forces. The Republic of Korea will have no difficulty absorbing these articles and services into its armed forces.
The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the basic military balance in the region.
The primary contractors will be Boeing Company, based in Arlington, VA; Raytheon Technologies, located in Forest, MS; and BAE Systems, situated in Falls Church, VA. The U. S. Government is not aware of any offset agreements proposed in connection with this potential sale.
Implementation of this proposed sale will not require the assignment of any additional U.S. Government or contractor representatives to the Republic of Korea.
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.

A kép érdekessége, hogy ez egy F-15C, amire felrakták a CFT tartályokat, mégpedig az F-15E, illetve EX-ről.
Ebben az a pláne, hogy CFT tartály volt korábban az USAF F-15C/D gépeihez, de kizárólag csak a keflaviki (Izland) IS farokkódú ezred repült velük, egészen a 90-es évek eleji kivonásukig. Igen, mostanság is voltak F-15C-k Izlandon, de azok a Lakenheath-i gépek voltak.
Namost itt kell megjegyezni, hogy a keflaviki F-15C/D gépek CFT-i nem azonosak az F-15E/EX gépekével, bár teljesen csereszabatosak.
A C/D gépek CFT-i úgynevezett "low drag" kislakításúak, a pilonok kisebbek, a profil is kicsit más. A pilonok elsődorban ugyanis a légiharc rakéták egysoros függesztésére lettek kitalálva, nem a különféle kaliberű bombák páros függesztésére.
Ilyen CFT-i vannak az izraeli F-15C/D gépeknek, de ők ezekkel is hordoznak bombákat, akár nagyobbakat is, igaz, oldalanként csupán egyet-egyet.
Ezeket viszont Izraelben is gyártják.
A fenti képen tehát egy sajátos hibrid megoldás látszik, mivel egy vadász feladatkörű, régi USAF/ANG F-15C hordoz "bombázó", illetve "high drag" CFT-t, de a légiharc rakéták függesztése céljából.
Ezek után adja magát a kérdes, hogy ha már az új F-15EX leendő elsődeges feladatköre pont ezeknek a kiöregedő F-15C/D gépeknek a leváltása lesz, nem lenne-e jobb a "low drag" CFT-ket is visszahozni? Akár az izraeliekkel együttműködve, mondjuk az közeljövő EX-ügylete farvizén?
