Det er nesten litt morsomt når de siste to talerne her går på mannen og ikke på saken. Det er et tydelig tegn på at man har sluppet opp for argumenter, og tapt diskusjonen.
Men vi får ønske de en god helg for det.
Vi kan ta med oppsummeringen til en leder i Nokia om Finland sitt valg.
Why did Finland pick the F-35 as opposed to the Jas 39 Gripen E?
F-35A got much better score in the performance evaluation of the finnish air force than Gripen.
Three of the contenders passed the minimal security of supply, industrial cooperation and price/quantity requirements: F-35A, JAS-39E Gripen and F-18E Super Hornet.
The performance of these three was then evaluated for multiple mission types:
Air defence, ground force support, anti-ship operations, reconnaissance, and long distance interdiction.
In the performance evaluation, F-35 scored 4.47 points, Super Hornet scored 3.81 points, and Gripen less than 3.81 points, number not revealed.
The actual subcategory results were not revealed, but here is some reasons why F-35A probably scored better:
1) It’s by far the most survivable. It’s much harder to detect by radar than the other planes, and also slightly harder to detect by IR sensors.
2) It has the best sensors. The AN/APG-81 radar of F-35A is much more powerful that the Raven ES-05 radar of Gripen-E, and F-35A has much more accurate radar warning systems, 360 degrees IR sensor coverage and better sensor fusion.
3) It has the best combination of weapons load and range. Gripen has about 40% of the internal fuel capacity of F-35A, but it weights 60% as much, giving Gripen much shorter range on internal fuel. Gripen typically needs external fuel tanks to get almost anywhere, and those fuel tanks then increase the drag and decrease the ordnance load, which even without them would be less than the ordnance load of F-35A.
4) F-35A has the best kinematic performance in real weapons and fuel load. It’s huge F135 engine with about 19.5 tonnes of thrust gives it best T/W ratio among the three contenders, and as it can carry lots of fuel and weapons internally, there is less parasitic drag from ordnance and no parasitic drag from external fuel tanks. External fuel tanks and externally carried weapons of Gripen and Super Hornet add lots of drag decreasing the performance of those planes.
5) It has the safest upgrade path. Super Hornet production is ending soon so there may not be upgrades to the plane available between 2040–2050. Gripen future is very uncertain, it might be that less than 200 Gripen-E’s will ever be manufactured and Sweden might retire the plane early when Tempest arrives, meaning there might not be upgrades available for the plane in the future, or the upgrades would be very costly to develop. But >2000 F-35’s will be made and most of those will be operational up until something like 2060, new upgrades will continuously be developed to the plane.
