Belgian F-16s in Afghanistan heavily damaged
8th March 2009, 06:48 pm
F-16.net

March 8, 2009 (by Lieven Dewitte) - Three of the four Belgian F-16s stationed in Kandahar sustained heavy damage after their engines where FOD’ed by debris kicked up by a landing transport aircraft.

So much dust and debris was released that the F-16 engines came to a halt.

The three Belgian aircraft were sitting on their parking spot when a cargo plane taxied along.

That maneuver kicked up large quantities of pebbles and sand, which ended up in the engines of the Belgian F-16s and damaged the rotor blades.

As a precaution, and to any avoid further damage, the engines were removed from the three jets and sent back to Belgium for further inspection. One of the jets already has a new engine and is airworthy again.

A C-130 will leave Belgium on Monday with two replacement engines to repair the other F-16s.

The Belgian Air Component deployed four F-16AMs to Kandahar in September 2008 together with 140 troops. They support the 41,700-strong International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan.

U.S. declines to sell F-16 fighter jets to Taiwan: MP
Tue Mar 10, 2009 7:49am EDT
By Ralph Jennings

TAIPEI (Reuters) - The U.S. government has declined to make a long-awaited sale of F-16 fighter jets to Taiwan for fear of upsetting China, Taiwan's parliament speaker said on Tuesday.

The White House blocked the $4.9 billion deal for 66 advanced F-16s last year and there was little hope of it being revived this year, said Wang Jin-pyng.

"The U.S. doesn't want to give them to us," Wang told Reuters in an interview.

"They wouldn't name a price. It's mainly because mainland China would oppose the sale."

China has claimed sovereignty over Taiwan since 1949, when Mao Zedong's Communists won the Chinese civil war and Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalists (KMT) fled to the island.

Beijing has vowed to bring Taiwan under its rule, by force if necessary, and opposes all U.S. arms sales to the island. Washington recognizes China diplomatically and is seeking to improve relations with the Asian economic powerhouse.

Although China-Taiwan ties have improved since President Ma Ying-jeou took office on the island last year, deep military distrust lingers between the two sides.

Taiwan first asked to buy new F-16s in 2007 after approving substantial funding for the aircraft. Wang said Taiwan's current fleet is 16 years old, Wang said.

The U.S. Pacific Command said in July that U.S. policymakers saw no pressing need to sell advanced arms to Taiwan.

belle oportunité pour les rafale, typhoon, jas39...

oh non raptor, personne ne veut se mettre a dos la chine, surtout pas les europeens, la Chine prendrait cela comme une insulte et elle reagirait economiquement... C'est pour ca que les etats unis les maintiennent en vie sous perfusion, assez pour se proteger mais assez pour etre une menace.

"Quand la Chine se reveillera...le monde tremblera" Alain Peyrefitte, 1973

Exact Samy, formidable Peyrefitte

Rafi a poster 2 video montrant pour l'une l'utilisation de l'AESA sur F-16 et l'autre l'utilisation de l'AN-APG 68 V9 . Les Deux radar font pratiquement la même chose.

quelqu'un peut il m'éxpliqué qu'elle sont les principales différence entre ces deux radar ?

Merci

Turkey will receive 30 new F-16 fighter jets
14th March 2009, 11:27 pm

by Nick Iliev
The Sofia Echo
Turkey has completed a deal with the American aerospace company Lockheed Martin for the delivery of 30 new F-16 combat jets, Bulgarian news agency BTA said on March 12 2009.
Lockheed Martin Corp (LMT.N) has won a $797 million contract for the modification and supply of 14 F-16C and 16 F-16D Block 50 fighter jets to the Turkish government.
The deal between the two countries can be traced back to September 2006, when the Pentagon approved the sale to Turkey of the 30 fighter jets, engines, radar and electronic warfare equipment, a deal valued at a total $2.9 billion if all the initial parametres were all subsequently executed.
With this move, the US government and its Turkish counterpart claim that the sale and supply of the aircraft would improve Turkey’s ability to defend its own borders as well as augment its potential to contribute to US-led anti-terrorism efforts and Nato operations.
Lockheed, which signed a contract with Turkey in May 2007 for its part of the work, a deal valued at $1.78 billion, won an initial amount of $187 million in July 2007 to begin purchasing long-lead items for the fighter jets.
F-16C is a single seat jet and the F-16D variant is a two-seat aircraft. They were introduced in service in 1984 with the USAF. The aircraft added all-weather capability with beyond-visual-range (BVR) and it is armed with AIM-7 and AIM-120 air-air missiles.
The Block 25 marked a drastic improvement in cockpit avionics, as well as the installation of a new and upgraded mark of the AN/APG-68 radar system. Block 25s F-16s were first delivered with the Pratt & Whitney F100-PW-200 engine and later upgraded to the Pratt & Whitney F100-PW-220E.
Designed as a lightweight fighter, the F-16 concept metamorphosed into a multi-purpose all-weather combat and superiority fighter/bomber interceptor. The Falcon’s versatility is behind its international success and the large numbers sold, as it is currently in active service in the air forces of 25 nations.
To date, the F-16 programme represents the largest Western jet fighter roster, with more than 4400 aircraft built since production was initially approved in 1976.
The United States air force is no longer a participant in the programme; it will gradually replace the plane by the F-35 VTOAL, but the old model will continue to be in active service in the USAF until 2025. Meanwhile, advanced versions are still being built for export customers.

Je crois qu'apres ces nouvelles le F16 marocain commence a avoir form. Mais il lui reste un nom qui le caracterise, et si marocain il est, pourquoi vous l'appeleriez pas "atlas". F16 Atlas, je crois que ca donne la classe.

Lockheed Martin, Hellenic Air Force Celebrate Inauguration of
Newest Advanced F-16 Fighter

19th March 2009, 11:57 pm

FORT WORTH, Texas, March 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/
— Ceremonies were held today at Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) in Fort Worth,
Texas, to commemorate the F-16 Peace Xenia IV program for Greece. The ceremony
marks an important production milestone, demonstrating that the program is on
schedule and on budget. This F-16 acquisition is the fourth for the Hellenic Air
Force (HAF) and the nation of Greece.
Lt. Gen. Ioannis Giagkos, chief of the Hellenic Air Force General Staff,
accepted the first Peace Xenia IV F-16 Block 52 advanced aircraft on behalf of
his nation and expressed satisfaction with its timely delivery. “I am grateful
to everyone who contributed to the design and construction of this ultra-modern
weapon system. With these new aircraft, the defense and deterrent force of the
Hellenic Air Force will be significantly enhanced,” he said.
U.S. officials attending the ceremony included Bruce Lemkin, deputy
undersecretary of the Air Force for International Affairs. Hosting the ceremony
were Ralph D. Heath, executive vice president of Lockheed Martin and president
of Lockheed Martin Aeronautics; Dennys Plessas, vice president of business
development in Greece; and John Larson, vice president of F-16 Programs.
“Lockheed Martin is pleased that through this government-to-government
agreement, we are able to offer for the first time, a fully integrated and
comprehensive weapon system, including a self-protection system, weapons and
other subsystems which make this advanced version of the F-16 particularly
effective for the operational needs of the Hellenic Air Force,” said Plessas.
“The recent completion of the infrastructure facilities as a special project in
conjunction with this aircraft buy at Araxos Air Base, 116 Combat Wing
guarantees the immediate use of this weapon system by the Hellenic Air
Force.”
“The F-16 we see before us today is a symbol of our 66-year friendship with
the Hellenic Air Force, providing a path for the future to the next generation
in aircraft with the F-35, as we continue to deliver on our promises between
Lockheed Martin and the country of Greece,” said Larson.
The Peace Xenia IV purchase program raises the total fighters ordered by the
HAF to 170. The aircraft rolled out today is the first of 30 Block 52 Advanced
F-16s being produced in the newest lot. The HAF received the F-16 Block 30
version starting in 1988, the Block 50 version starting in 1997 and the Block
52+ version in 2003. Greece has been a Lockheed Martin customer since 1943, when
it acquired its first squadron of Martin A-30 Baltimore Mk III, IV and Vs.
The Peace Xenia IV program includes 20 F-16Cs and 10 F-16Ds, all powered by
the Pratt & Whitney F100-PW-229 engine. This first aircraft - a single-seat
F-16C model - was accepted by the U.S. government (as agent for Greece in the
Foreign Military Sales process) in January 2009, one month ahead of schedule.
The U.S. government also accepted the first two-seat F-16D version in January.
The first four aircraft will be ferried to Greece in May with the remainder
following in 2009 and 2010.
