http://www.edwards.af.mil/news/index.html Lockheed Martin marks milestone with F-16 30th anniversary Article courtesy of Lockheed Martin February 27, 2004 2/27/04 – FORT WORTH, Texas. – Lockheed Martin marked a significant milestone in aviation history when it commemorated the 30th anniversary of the first flight of the F-16 jet fighter Feb. 2. The first F-16 prototype, YF-16 No. 1, completed its first official flight on Feb. 2, 1974, from the Air Force Flight Test Center at Edwards. The YF-16 was a revolutionary technology demonstrator three decades ago, said John Bean, vice president of F-16 programs. The technologies it introduced - like fly-by-wire flight control, relaxed static stability, wing-body blending, variable camber wing, high-g cockpit, highly integrated digital avionics using a MIL-STD-1553 multiplex data bus and modular construction - have become common for fighters introduced since. Phil Oestricher, retired General Dynamics test pilot for the first flight, recalls that historic flight: A team of engineering disciplines came together in a marvelous fashion to produce an aircraft that was very powerful, agile, small, easy to handle and low cost. And it looked great! It was a real joy to fly. I am very proud to have been on the front end of this great fighter program. General Dynamics was the predecessor company of Lockheed Martin Aeronautics. In an unusual twist, Mr. Oestricher had inadvertently flown the aircraft two weeks earlier - Flight 0 - when he elected to take the aircraft airborne after experiencing major control anomalies during a high-speed taxi test. Mr. Oestricher pointed out that this was before the days of high-fidelity flight simulators that can predict complex effects of gain settings in flight control laws. Mr. Bean said the F-16 has evolved into the most capable, most versatile, most affordable, most supportable and most popular multirole fighter of its time. The F-16 has been an evolutionary aircraft since its prototype days and epitomized what we call today spiral development, Mr. Bean said. It has exceeded everyones highest expectations. Considering all of the program metrics, it easily qualifies as the most successful fighter of the jet age. Lockheed Martin has continued to make significant development advances for its worldwide F-16 customers, recently introducing the Advanced Block 50/52 and F-16E/F Block 60 versions. These will continue production through 2008, and with anticipated follow-on sales and potential new markets, Lockheed Martin believes the F-16 line could extend well beyond that timeframe.

http://news.yam.com/cna/international/news/200403/200403010166.html 北韓指責美軍機於二月間偵察北韓兩百餘次（中央社記者姜遠珍漢城一日專電）北韓「朝鮮中央放送」於二十九日廣播中強烈指責，美國當局持續密集地動員RC-135戰略偵察機等各種戰略及戰術軍機，在朝鮮半島上空非法偵察北韓的重要軍事設施，僅於二月一個月期間，就已出動了兩百餘次偵察機，美國對北韓的敵對政策，絲毫未因六方會談而有所收斂。北韓「朝鮮中央放送」引述軍方消息，對美國非法高空偵察監視作了上述報導，並批判美國政府在最近六方會談中所表態的「和平對話及對平壤體制的安全保障」，完全是欺瞞手段。因此，北韓將會繼續的強化自主的防禦力量。據瞭解，北韓過去曾透過「朝鮮中央放送」，多次強烈譴責美國布希政府對北韓進行的高空秘密偵察行動，無疑地暴露了美國對北韓採取「先制攻擊戰略」的意圖，就是對北韓的一種「侵略宣言」。北韓媒體並指出，美國在今年元月間，也出動了一百九十餘次各種偵察機，對北韓的重要軍事設施進行了秘密偵察行動。漢城的外交分析家表示，於北京第二輪六邊會談落幕後，北韓當局一再對外強調，美國政府根本就無意放棄對北韓的敵對政策，這充分凸顯出北韓十分擔心美國已將北韓視為伊拉克戰爭之後的下一個懲治對象。

http://www.ettoday.com/2004/03/01/168-1594564.htm 以色列內閣批准出售3架預警機給印度 2004/03/01 21:05 　編譯中心／綜合報導根據中新社1日電，印度斯坦時報指出，以色列安全內閣周日將批准，出售價值11億美元的3架「費爾康」預警機給印度。去年美國官員曾向以色列施壓，並以當時印度與巴基斯坦關係正處於緊張狀態為理由，要求推遲向印度出售「費爾康」預警機，但此後美國收回了對這項軍售的反對意見。「費爾康」預警機上的先進電子設備和遠端雷達將由以色列提供，而機身則採用俄制的「伊爾」客機。預警機上將沒有一件是由美國製造的設備，雖是如此，以色列還是與華盛頓就此軍售進行了協調。以色列與印度已經在去年10月份簽署了「費爾康」預警機出售的原則協定，上個月，以色列、俄羅斯的印度官員更完成了預警機出售所需的外交手續。以色列與印度的關係近些年來變得密切起來，而以色列也變成印度最重要的武器出口國。目前，印度的鄰國巴基斯坦已經批評了印度採購「費爾康」預警機的舉動，巴基斯坦認爲印度進行大舉的武器採購將為南亞帶來危險。

http://udn.com/NEWS/WORLD/WOR3/1887595.shtml 1968年，越戰正熱中共取得F104引擎編譯霍達文／綜合法新社華盛頓七日電已解密的美國政府文件顯示，巴基斯坦在越戰戰況最激烈的時候可能曾讓中共當局接觸到美製的F一○四戰鬥機。 F一○四是當時美軍主要戰機之一，因此巴基斯坦此舉可能危及美國飛行員的生命。前述文件是美國國務院情報及研究副主任鄧尼在一九六八年十二月呈交給當時國務卿魯斯克的一份機密備忘錄。這份備忘錄公開之際，美國總統布希正設法加強和巴基斯坦的安全關係，美國國會則開始關注巴基斯坦科學家卡恩黑市買賣核子技術以及巴基斯坦領袖是否知情的問題。由民間組織國家安全檔案館取得的鄧尼備忘錄和其他文件顯示，美外交決策官員當時對巴基斯坦非常不滿，他們覺得被巴基斯坦欺騙。鄧尼在致魯斯克的備忘錄中說：「一九六八年七月，情報界人士透露，中國技術人員獲准在巴基斯坦薩戈達空軍基地檢查美國提供巴基斯坦的F一○四戰機，並收集F一○四零件和材料樣本，帶回中國大陸分析。」鄧尼在備忘錄中說，他認為巴基斯坦的做法違反巴國在接收戰機時簽署的接受條件書。鄧尼又在備忘錄中引述情報界人士的話說，巴基斯坦還讓中共把一具完整的F一○四戰機引擎帶回中國大陸，連當時算是創新的燃料控制系統也帶回去。鄧尼在備忘錄中安慰魯斯克說，中共未必能夠因此取得很大優勢，只是先例已開，預料中共將向巴基斯坦提出類似要求。越戰期間，中共是北越的主要盟邦。情報專家說，中共得到的F一○四戰機情報很可能也落入北越之手。據老經驗的飛行員說，北越飛行員都儘量避免和F一○四戰機直接交戰，但北越當局卻設法取得這種飛機的資料。巴基斯坦讓中共檢視F一○四戰機，原因是中共向巴基斯坦提供了大批武器供巴基斯坦和印度作戰。【2004/03/09 聯合報】

無網址 Jerusalem Post February 20, 2004 IAF Celebrates Arrival Of First Two F-16I Jets By Arieh OSullivan The air force on Thursday celebrated the arrival of the first pair of US-made F-16I fighter-bombers, which promise to expand Israels strategic reach and boost its deterrence. Ordered when the geopolitical threats against Israel loomed greater than today, the full squadron of 24 jets wont be here until the end of the year and will only become operational gradually. It will take until 2008 for the delivery of the entire package of 102 jets, for a total of four mighty squadrons. Nevertheless, anticipation for the jet ?named Sufa (storm) in Hebrew ?ran high at the Ramon Air Force Base deep in the Negev on Thursday. Ground crews, pilots, and families joined IDF brass and government officials waiting for the two jets to appear after a 48-hour journey from the Lockheed Martin plant in Texas. Breaking through the clouds, the jets, escorted by a pair of older F-16s, streaked by almost silently until just overhead when their engines sent a visceral roar through the applauding crowd. Im proud to bring to Israel the first Sufa aircraft, the US pilot radioed before touchdown. A military brass band played a martial tune, followed by an IAF musical troupe in the festive, but modest, ceremony. The two jets taxied in before the crowd, and female soldiers handed flowers to the four airmen as they were greeted by generals and Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz. This is a magnificent aircraft and is a perfect example of the synergy that comes from the collaboration between our nations, said USAF Col. Timothy Murphy, the US military attache in Tel Aviv. It is a wonderful combination of United States industrial capacity and Israeli ingenuity... It stands before us today as the newest symbol of the close and continuing relations between our countries and of the US commitment to the defense of Israel. Chief of General Staff Lt.-Gen. Moshe Yaalon, a week after visiting the Sachsenhausen concentration camp in Germany, spoke of the contrast between the defenseless Jews of Europe and the might the of the Jewish nation today, represented by the F-16I. Yaalon said the Sufa would provide an answer to threats from surface-to-surface missiles and weapons of mass destruction in the region. OC Air Force Maj.-Gen. Dan Halutz stressed that the deal was not as expensive as it appears. Israel is paying for the aircraft from the $2.2 billion it receives annually in US military grants. It also provided more than $2b. in purchases from Israeli defense industries. The addition of these jets to the air force adds might, deterrence, and capabilities that we did not have previously, Halutz said. I hope we wont need them.... Long-range, advanced weaponry, top-of-the-line communication links, and the ability to operate in all weather conditions are only some of the capabilities of the Sufa, Halutz said. This jet is tailor-made for Israel, but I cant compare it yet to the F-15, said squadron commander Lt.-Col. Amikam, who previously commanded an F-15 squadron and is to get his first flight in the Sufa Friday morning. With the first Sufa barely on the ground, senior officers were already speaking about the future face of the IAF. Some spoke of the day when Israel would purchase the newest warplane, the JSF. Others predicted that the air force would likely consist of one-third unmanned vehicles by the middle of the next decade. In any case, the IAF expects its F-16Is to have a life span of 30 years. What the Sufa knows how to do in the hands of IAF pilots increases the chances that they wont have to do it, said Mofaz. The jets were piloted jointly by an American and Israeli crew. Their last leg was a seven-hour journey from the Azores, with a number of mid-air refueling points along the way. It was painful and difficult, but also moving and worth every minute, said Lt. U., one of the Israeli pilots who flew the F-16I to its new home. There is hardly a bad word to say about the sleek jet, which is loaded with the most modern of avionics and weaponry. If there is criticism, it is in the cost of the deal that was made in 1999. Timing is everything, and these expensive jets have arrived in Israel at a time when the defense establishment is demanding more funding at the expense of other ministries. According to Col. (res.) Shmuel Gordon, a former senior IAF pilot and expert on air power, some of the money would have been better spent on indigenous weapons development. Gordon told The Jerusalem Post the IAF should reduce its high-training level in order to keep up with the higher cost of flight hours in the new jets. The geopolitical window would allow this risk, he said. The Negev squadron will be based at the Ramon Air Force Base, a modern base that was built by the Americans as part of the Sinai pullout following the peace agreement with Egypt. The base previously was home to two older F-16 A/B squadrons, but they were moved elsewhere and the base was overhauled to receive the Sufa. This included a new powerplant and warehouses to store advanced munitions. Pilots are excited not only with the F-16Is weaponry, but its Pratt & Whitney F-100 engine. I have flown for years on F-16s, and I thought Id feel like I was in another F-16, said Maj. Hanan, a deputy squadron commander. But the moment you have the engines running it is another world. Its a lot stronger and heavier. Its like driving in a new American car compared to a Subaru. ------------- http://sify.com/news/fullstory.php?id=13396863 Recovery of Sukhoi fighter engines underway Friday, 20 February , 2004, 15:12 New Delhi: Asserting that nicks in the engines of the just acquired frontline SU-30 combat aircraft were not affecting operational preparadness, Defence Minister George Fernandes on Friday said prompt action has been initiated on the recovery of the affected engines on fast-track basis. Assuring that the Su-30 fighter fleet was never grounded due to engine problems, he said some engines of the aircraft inducted into IAF in 1999 were found to have nicks during routine checks. Responding to Rajya Sabha member Rajiv Shukla expressing concern over the high rate of engine failure of the Russian made fighters in course of special mention in the house, the Minister said that two of the SU-30 squadron had been repaired and the balance engines would be repaired shortly. I am given to understand that the IAF had promptly initiated action for recovery of the engines on fast track basis, the Minister told the MP in a letter. Fernandes said the SU-30 contract was concluded in 1996 after fully evaluating the aircraft and that these aircraft were accepted by IAF after detailed flight checks as per the established procedure. The Security of the nation was never comprimised at any given time and the required number of aircraft were available to undertake operational commitments, the letter said. The Ministers response comes in the wake of reports that Su-30 engines were developing nicks before completion of the time between overhauls, with the engines failing to log certified flying hours.

無網址 Copyright 2004 Agency WPS The Russian Business Monitor (Russia) March 24, 2004, Wednesday TRADE AND INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION ALGERIA MAY BECOME A NEW LARGEST CLIENT OF RUSSIAN MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX A contract for supply of 49 MiG-29 fighters worth $1.8 billion to Algerian armed forces may be signed in early April 2004. After this deal Russian airplane building corporation MiG (RSK MiG) will catch up with other Russias largest armament exporters AKHK Sukhoi and NPK Irkut according to portfolio of orders. A source close to the management of RSK MiG reports that the company may sign the contract for supply of 42 fighters MiG-29SMT and seven combat training airplanes MiG-29BT to Algeria at the beginning of April. The value of the deal will amount to $1.8 billion but RSK MiG will receive only $1.5 billion in cash and Algeria will pay remaining $300 million in the form of the MiG-29 previously supplied from Russia and Belarus. Marat Kenzhetaev, expert of the Center for Study of Disarmament Problems of the Moscow Physical-Technological Institute, said that between 1999 and 2001 Russia and Belarus sold 36 MiG-29 fighters to Algeria including 28 fighters from the Belarusian Air Force and eight fighters from the Russian Air Force. Four airplanes were lost in the process of operation. Officials of the ministry of Industry and Energy confirmed information about the quick signing of the contract. According to an official of the ministry, all 42 fighters will be new. Between 1999 and 2003, exports of RSK MiG totaled $820 million including $180 million earned in 2003. The main export item is MiG-29 fighters built between 1992 and 10903 but not bought out by Russian Air Force. The largest customers of RSK MiG are third-world countries Bangladesh, Myanmar, Yemen, Eritrea, Sudan and other African countries. According to a source close to RSK MiG, in 2005 the company may sign another contract with Algeria for supply of 80 combat-training airplanes MiG-AT. This airplane received a flight suitability certificate from Russian Air Force in February. It is equipped with French engine Larzac of Snecma company and avionics made by the French company Thales. On his visit to Paris in March, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Ivanov said that Russia and France were going to sell MiG-AT to third countries. Konstantin Makienko, expert of the Center for Analysis of Strategies and technologies, says that the contract to be signed with Algeria in April will enable MiG to catch up with the largest Russian armament suppliers AKHK Sukhoi and NPK Irkut according to export volumes. Portfolios of orders of Sukhoi and Irkut amount to $1.7 billion and $4.2 billion respectively. Together with the contract signed with India in January for supply of 16 deck-based fighters MiG-29K and possible option for 30 airplanes more for India, MiG will export about a hundred of fighters. According to Makienko, for this very purpose RSK MiG is going to establish control over Nizhny Novgorod-based aircraft building plant Sokol in addition to the plant already existing in the Moscow Region. At any rate, expert of PIR-center Andrei Frolov doubts that Algeria can afford signing of even the first contract with RSK MiG because the military budget of the country in 2003 amounted only to $2.2 billion. Kenzhetaev presumes that due to high oil prices Algeria being one of the largest oil exporters can pay for such contract in two or three years. Kenzhetaev remarks, In 2000, Algeria bought 22 Su-24MK fighter-bombers from Russia for $120 million and in 2002 it bought 42 Mi-8 helicopters for $180 million and these contracts are being successfully fulfilled. Source: Vedomosti, March 23, 2004 ---------- PAC Gearing up for K-8 and JF-17 Production Flight International 23 Mar 2004 BRENDAN SOBIE / SINGAPORE Pakistani company will construct lightweight fighters and trainers for air force at Kamra factory and aims for exports Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC) is preparing to begin assembling next year its first Chinese-developed FC-1/JF-17 lightweight fighters and K-8 Karakorum basic/ advanced trainers for the Pakistani air force and for potential export customers. The companys aircraft manufacturing plant in Kamra aims to build 50% of each aircraft sold outside China. It produces just under 20% of the K-8, and participates in the Chengdu Aircraft-led FC-1/JF-17 development programme. Chengdu is responsible for building all five prototype fighters for the joint Sino-Pakistani programme. But PAC will be in charge of final assembly for eight of the 16 initial production aircraft, which are due for completion by early 2007. Serial or high-rate production of the design will begin late the same year. PAC plans to build capability on the design gradually, starting with final assembly operations next year and later adding the manufacture of major components such as the wing, so that it can build half of each JF-17 from about 2009. We have to prepare ourselves, [and] that work has already begun, says Air Cdre Zakir Khan, managing director of the Kamra factory. PAC is drawing on its experience in building Mushshak piston trainers and K-8 subassemblies. The company will roll out its first Kamra-assembled K-8 in 2006, a few months before completing its first JF-17. PAC already supplies Chinas Hongdu Aviation Industry with K-8 front fuselages, horizontal stabilisers and other components that combined account for 18-19% of the aircraft. It will also assume responsibility for structure/wing fabrication, final assembly and testing. A Pakistani air force requirement to replace its Cessna T-37s and Shenyang FT-5s with 55 K-8s from 2007 is driving this expansion in PACs K-8 capability. Pakistans army operates eight Hongdu-assembled K-8s. Other operators include China, Myanmar, Sri Lanka and Zambia. A joint PAC/Hongdu marketing team is promoting the design to several African and Middle Eastern countries, with the option of Chinese or Pakistani assembly. A PAC/Chengdu team has begun marketing the FC-1/JF-17 to other nations with the same assembly options.

AviaPort.RU 23.03.04 Correspondent Dmitriy Kozlov First Batch of MiG-29SMT Fighters to Be Shipped to Yemen soon The delivery to Yemen of the first batch of upgraded MiG-29SMT fighters with the Zhuk-MEhaircraft radar (RLS) developed by OAO Fazotron-NIIR Corporation is planned in the second quarter of 2004. According to an informed defense-industrial complex source, this aircraft radar is considered in mass production ((SERIYNAYA)) and is being manufactured using broad cooperation. However, final assembly and tests of the aircraft radar are being realized at the Fazotron-NIIR enterprise which is the radar seller. Thus, Fazotron-NIIR has the capability to produce the technical reequipping and continuation of the scientific research and experimental design work on future subjects of the operation, the source specified. In the forecasts of the Teal Group Corporation consulting firm (U.S.) the MiG-29 is not included in the forecast for 2003 2012 because of its low prospects. Russian experts, on the other hand, evaluate the prospects of MiG-29 sales highly. According to forecasts of the Center for the Analysis of Strategies and Technologies, nearly 100 110 aircraft of this family will be delivered abroad.
