يجب أن نعرف أن حاملة الطائرات سلاح هجومى بحت ويستخدم لفرض السيطره الإقليميه والدوليه على البحار
وحاليآ الصين تسعى لإمتلاك ثلاثة حاملات

ولو لاحظنا سنجد أن هذه النقطه تزامنت مع إعلان الصين
أن باكستان وافقت على إستخدام الصين قاعده بحريه فى جنوب باكستان
وهذا فى ظل تقارب باكستان من الصين وبعدها عن أمريكا

قامت باكستان خلال شهر مايو الماضي باتخاذ أهم قرار يمس أمنها القومي وسياساتها الخارجية، ربما في العشرين سنة الماضية، فقد خرجت من حلفها الشكلي مع الولايات المتحدة الأميركية إلى حلف حقيقي ومعلن مع الصين.
فخلال زيارة رئيس الوزراء الباكستاني إلى الصين في منتصف شهر مايو الماضي تم الاتفاق على أن تزود الصين باكستان بخمسين طائرة حربية طراز “جي إف-17″ دون مقابل ودراسة التزود بطائرات حربية مقاتلة خفيفة أخرى، بالإضافة إلى تزويد باكستان بفرقاطات بحرية متوسطة الحجم قادرة على حمل صواريخ متعددة الاستعمالات، وبناء قاعدة عسكرية بحرية في جنوب باكستان، كما عرضت باكستان تقديم خدمات لوجستية وبحرية وصيانة للقوة البحرية الصينية؛ مما يعني فعليا إيجاد قاعدة بحرية صينية في جنوب باكستان، كما تشمل الاتفاقية رفع درجة كفاءة أجهزة الرادار الباكستانية التي عطلتها أميركا خلال الغارة على مقر بن لادن، وتقديم المساعدة في مجالات الطاقة النووية والتعاون الاقتصادي في مناطق حرة تجارية على حدود البلدين.
الجانب العسكري فقط من هذا الاتفاق يعني أن باكستان في حلف عسكري مع الصين، وأصبحت محمية صينية، يؤكد هذا قيام الصين بإطلاق تحذير شديد اللهجة إلى الولايات المتحدة الأميركية بأن أي اعتداء على باكستان هو اعتداء على الصين.

لو نظرنا على مكان هذه القاعده فسنجده مكان ذو أهميه إستراتيجيه كبيره
ولنلقى نظره على القاعده الصينيه فى باكستان

Japan Calls for China To Explain Aircraft Carrier

TOKYO - Japan's defense minister called on China on Aug. 12 to explain why it needs an aircraft carrier, after Beijing sparked increased concerns over its military expansion by starting sea trials for the vessel.
"As an aircraft carrier, it is of a highly maneuverable and offensive nature. We want China to explain the reasons why it needs it," Toshimi Kitazawa told reporters.

"There is no doubt that it will have a big impact on the region," he added.

China put the revamped Soviet-built aircraft carrier Varyag to sea on Aug. 10, prompting the United States to call for an explanation.
Beijing has sought to play down the vessel's capability, saying it will mainly be used for training and "research."
In its annual defense report last week, Japan expressed concern over China's growing assertiveness and widening naval reach in nearby waters and the Pacific and over what it called the "opaqueness" of Beijing's military budget.
China criticized the report as "irresponsible," insisting its drive to modernize its forces was entirely defensive

India Tests BrahMos Block III Supersonic Missile

NEW DELHI - Even as Pakistani and Chinese troops jointly conduct war games close to the Indian border, the Indian Army has tested a supersonic missile, the BrahMos Block III, in the Rajasthan desert.
The supersonic cruise missile can engage inaccessible targets, even inside hillocks. The BrahMos Block III, developed jointly by India and Russia, can scale mountainous terrain and then take a steep dive to engage targets located inside hillocks, officials said.

The BrahMos would be used in the mountainous terrain along the Pakistani and Chinese border.

Citing technical issues, officials said the BrahMos test had been scheduled for Aug. 8 but was postponed to Aug. 12.
An Indian Army official said the BrahMos Block III can engage ground targets from a very low altitude and can reach a speed of Mach 2.8 with a solid propellant rocket for initial acceleration and a liquid fueled ramjet to sustain supersonic cruise.
China's People's Liberation Army 101 Engineering regiment is taking part in land exercises inside Pakistan along the Indian border. This is the first time Chinese and Pakistani troops have been spotted carrying out joint exercises

مركبات ومصفحات و ألفى جندى..تعزيزات أمنية غير مسبوقة فى سيناء والعريش تحسبا لهجمات أخرى

وصلت ظهر اليوم الجمعة تعزيزات امنية وصفت بأنها غير مسبوقة تضم قوات من الشرطة المصرية مدعومة بقوات من الجيش إلى شبه جزيرة سيناء .

تعزيزات للشرطة والجيش صورة ارشيفية

 و شوهدت مركبات ومصفحات وأكثر من ألفي شرطي وجندي في حافلات خاصة جرى نشرهم حول مقرات الأمن في مدينة العريش، وخاصة قسم شرطة ثان العريش وديوان المحافظة ومديرية أمن شمال سيناء تحسبا لتعرض العريش لهجمات محتملة من الخارجين عن القانون والبلطجية وجماعات التكفير.
وقال محافظ شمال سيناء اللواء السيد عبد الوهاب مبروك  " أن تلك التعزيزات الأمنية غير المسبوقة هى للدفاع عن الأشخاص والممتلكات وكذلك مقرات الأمن الحيوية فهي قوات ردع فقط وهذه ليست قوات قتال وهجوم على أحد".
وأضاف "نحن لانحارب أهلنا فى سيناء وهذه القوات لن تذهب الى جبال سيناء وتقاتل هناك.. فهى للردع وحماية الأرواح والممتلكات من البلطجية والخارجين عن القانون".
وحذر أنه لاتهاون مع أي أحد "تسول له نفسه الهجوم على الأرواح والممتلكات والقيام بعمليات البلطجة والفتن فى سيناء، أوالقيام بـأي أعمال خارجة عن القانون" مؤكدا "ان هذه القوات تستهدف الخارجين عن القانون والبطجية فقط وليس من مهمتها الهجوم على أحد أو البدء في القتال مع أحد".
وحول تسمية هذه العملية او التعزيزات بالعملية "نسر" ، قال المحافظ لايوجد أي عمليات أو مسمى بهذا الاسم فهذا كله تخاريف من جريدة (المصري اليوم المستقلة)فلا يوجد عملية اسمها نسر".
وأضاف أن "التصريحات التي نشرت عن السلفيين في سيناء غير صحيحة فهم منضبطون ولاخوف منهم مطلقا فهم يقومون بحل المشاكل فقط عن طريق الشرع والفتوى ولايوجد بينهم مسلحون أو مقاتلون كما يدعي البعض وليس بينهم 6000 مقاتل او حتى 6 مقاتلين وهم يساعدوننا فى العمل على حل المشاكل اليومية بين الأهالي".
من جانبه ، قال اللواء صالح المصري مدير أمن شمال سيناء إن "تعزيزات الأمن التي وصلت اليوم لشبه جزيرة سيناء وخاصة مدينة العريش لها كافة الصلاحيات في التعامل مع الخارجين على القانون ومثيري البلطجة".
وأضاف المصري أن "تلك القوات تقوم ايضا بحماية المنشآت والأرواح وتدعيم قوات الأمن المتواجدة هناك".
وتابع "هذه القوات مستعدة لمطاردة الخارجين عن القانون وضبطهم في أي مكان وزمان .. غير ان لهذه القوات مهاما أخرى لايمكن التصريح بها لسرية هذه المهام وللمحافظة على نجاح تلك التعزيزات الأمنية".

Egypt preparing operation against al-Qaida cells in Sinai

Senior Egyptian military officials tell CNN that mission planned against terrorists in area of pipeline blasts, smuggling near Gaza border.

Talkbacks (4)

    Egypt is preparing a military operation to root out al-Qaida cells that have been established in the past several months in the Sinai peninsula, CNN reported on Friday.

Senior Egyptian officials told CNN that they were focusing their operation in the coastal area between El-Arish and Rafah on the border with the Gaza Strip.

"Al-Qaida is present in Sinai mainly in the area of Sakaska close to Rafah," a general in Egypt's intelligence was quoted as saying on Thursday. "They have been training there for months, but we have not identified their nationalities yet."

"We plan to clean out those criminal pockets around the area of Rafah and Sheikh Zuweid," secretary general for the North Sinai governorate, Gaber al-Araby stated.

The pipeline, situated in the El-Arish area, that transports Egyptian natural gas to Israel has been sabotaged five times already since the start of this year.

Egyptian security sources told the state-run Al-Ahram daily last month that the pipeline blasts – and attacks on security forces in northern Sinai that killed five officers last month – were the work of al-Qaida-inspired groups.

A Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) report released in May warned that lawlessness in Sinai following the ouster of Hosni Mubarak in February had created a situation in which smugglers of arms into the Gaza Strip were operating almost freely.

"Today the Egyptian regime's attention is focused on stabilizing the new government and this eases the Sinai smugglers' task," the report said.

The Beduin people of the Sinai, for whom smuggling is a major source of income, were mostly involved in getting weapons into Gaza to supply Hamas, which controls the enclave and other smaller terrorist groups, it said.

It also reaffirmed the belief that Iran, in seeking to strengthen its influence in the region, was supplying Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorist with "choice military-grade weaponry

PAF completes production of 26 JF-17 Thunder aircraft

he Pakistan Air Force (PAF) has completed production of 26 JF-17 Thunder aircraft at Pakistan Aeronautical complex Karma so far during a period of two years. A senior PAF official, while replying to a query of member of Special Public Accounts Committee (PAC) here on Tuesday, said that the PAF achieved the target regarding production of JF-17 Thunder in the country.
The committee was informed that Pakistan had kicked off its serial production of the multiple jet fighter JF-17 Thunder in collaboration with the People’s Republic of China two years back.
Secretary Defence Production Lt Gen Shahid Iqbal told the committee that two P-3 series Orion anti-submarine and maritime surveillance aircraft had been lost and efforts were being made for their replacement.
Earlier, the committee discussed in detail the audit reports of Ministry of Defence for year 1998-1999, 2002-2003 and 2003-004. The committee members also raised some objections on audit paras and directed the authorities concerned to submit reports on audit paras within one month.
The committee also sent some matters to Departmental Accounts Committee with direction to compile a detailed report on these matters. The Secretary Ministry of Defence Production assured to fully implement the directions of the committee

China’s first aircraft carrier starts sea trial

hina's first aircraft carrier has begun its inaugural sea trial, the defence ministry said Wednesday, a move likely to stoke concerns about the nation's rapid military expansion.
Beijing only recently confirmed it was revamping an old Soviet ship to be its first carrier, adding to worries among its neighbors over the country's military build-up and growing assertiveness on territorial issues.
"According to trial plans, the first sea trial will not take long," the defence ministry said in a statement.
"After returning to the shipyard (in the port city of Dalian), the carrier will continue its refit and test work."
Beijing last month sought to play down the capability of its first carrier, saying the vessel would be used for training and "research".
Chen Bingde, the nation's top military official, only provided the first official acknowledgment of the aircraft carrier in a Hong Kong newspaper interview in early June.
But media reports and military analysts have said for years that the 300-metre (990-foot) ship was in development.
The ship, once called the Varyag, was originally built for the Soviet navy. Construction was interrupted by the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991.
Andrei Chang, head of the Kanwa Information Centre, which monitors China's military, told AFP the trial would likely only last about an hour.
"The first sea trial is just for testing different items, like whether the engines work or not," he said, adding that from Soviet and French aircraft carrier experience, on-off sea trials would continue for another year or two.
Last week Japan voiced concern over China's growing assertiveness and widening naval reach and over what it called the "opaqueness" of Beijing's military budget.
The carrier project also comes amid heightened tensions over a number of maritime territorial disputes involving China, notably in the South China Sea, which is believed to be rich in oil and gas and is claimed by several countries.
The issue has heated up recently with run-ins between China and fellow claimants Vietnam and the Philippines, sparking concern among its neighbouring countries and the United States.
In September, a row erupted between Japan and China over the disputed Senkaku Islands, known as the Diaoyu Islands in Chinese, located in the East China Sea.
China reportedly bought the ship's immense armoured hull -- with no engine, electrics or propeller -- in 1998.
Chang pointed out that he had not seen any form of arresting gear on the carrier -- the mechanical system that rapidly decelerates a plane as it lands -- in photos he had seen so far.
"That's very strange. It's very complicated technology and the Chinese haven't installed it -- we couldn't find it," he said.
"That means they can't land any fighters, probably only helicopters."
China's People's Liberation Army -- the largest armed force in the world -- is extremely secretive about its defence programmes, which benefit from a huge and expanding military budget boosted by the nation's runaway economic growth.
The PLA also operates the country's navy

بدء إختبارات البحر لحاملة الطائرات الصينيه فارياج
الترجمه من روسيا اليوم
نقلت وكالة "شينخوا" للأنباء عن مصدر عسكري صيني قوله أن أول حاملة طائرات صينية بدات رحلة تجريبية بحرية. وأكدت الوكالة نقلا عن المصدر أن حاملة الطائرات غادرت حوض بناء السفن في ميناء داليان في إقليم لياونينيغ صباح الأربعاء 10 أغسطس/ اب، وان أول تجربة تأتي متماشية مع الجدول الزمني المقرر.
يذكر أن حاملة الطائرات الصينية الجديدة، هي بالاصل سفينة حربية سوفيتية الصنع كانت تعرف باسم "فارياغ". وذكرت الوكالة أن برنامج ترميم السفينة الحربية وإختباراتها ستتواصل بعد عودتها من التجربة، من دون الكشف عن المزيد من التفاصيل.
وكانت السفينة الحربية قد بوشر ببنائها في ثمانينات من القرن الماضي لصالح الاتحاد السوفيتي السابق لكنها لم تكتمل أبدا. وعندما إنهار الاتحاد السوفيتي عام 1991، بقى هيكل السفينة قابعا في حوض لبناء السفن في أوكرانيا.
واشترت الصين السفينة "فارياغ" في العام 1998 في أوكرانيا بغية تطوير السفينة لتصبح حاملة الطائرات الصينية الأولى. ثم نشرت على شبكة الإنترنت صور حاملة الطائرات الصينية الأولى التي تم تجهيزها بأنظمة دفاع جوي ورادارات ومحرك أوكراني وبمعدات أخرى. وأشير إلى أنه أطلق عليها اسم الأميرال شي لان الذي فرض سيطرة الصين على جزيرة تايوان في العام 1681.


ومن المرجح أن تثير هذه الخطوة مخاوف بشأن الوتيرة المتسارعة للتسلح الصيني

U.S. Asks China to Explain Need for Carrier

WASHINGTON - The United States said Aug. 10 it would like China to explain why it needs an aircraft carrier amid broader U.S. concerns about Beijing's lack of transparency over its military aims.

"We would welcome any kind of explanation that China would like to give for needing this kind of equipment," State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland told reporters when asked whether the carrier would raise regional tensions.

"This is part of our larger concern that China is not as transparent as other countries. It's not as transparent as the United States about its military acquisitions, about its military budget," she said.

"And we'd like to have the kind of open, transparent relationship in military-to-military affairs," Nuland said.

"In our military-to-military relations with many countries around the world, we have the kind of bilateral dialogue where we can get quite specific about the equipment that we have and its intended purposes and its intended movements," she said.

But China and the United States are "not at that level of transparency" to which the two nations aspire, Nuland added.

The comments came hours after China's first aircraft carrier embarked on its inaugural sea trial, a move likely to stoke concerns about the nation's military expansion and growing territorial assertiveness.

Beijing only recently confirmed it was revamping an old Soviet ship to be its first carrier and has sought to play down the vessel's capability, saying it will mainly be used for training and "research."

Taiwan's 'Carrier Killer' Aims To Sink China's Carrier

TAIPEI - In the event of war, Taiwan plans to sink China's new aircraft carrier, the Varyag, with its new "aircraft carrier killer" missile, the ramjet-powered supersonic anti-ship cruise missile Hsiung Feng 3. The revelation was made Aug. 10 on the same day China launched the Varyag for its first sea trials.

The disclosure came during a preshow media tour of the biennial Taipei Aerospace and Defense Technology Exhibition (TADTE). Journalists inspecting the Hsiung Feng 3 were shocked to see a large mural of the Varyag being attacked by three Hsiung Feng 3 missiles. Two of the missiles impact the carrier's starboard bow and starboard quarter, with a third missile is en route to the ship.

The mural was reminiscent of similar displays at the 2010 Zhuhai Airshow in China, where anti-ship missiles were depicted attacking and sinking U.S. aircraft carriers.

The unveiling of the display comes at an uncomfortable time for Taiwan President Ma Ying-jeou. Since coming into office in 2008, Ma has eased cross-Strait tensions and signed historic economic agreements with China.

Military officials denied that calling Hsiung Feng 3 the "aircraft carrier killer" or displaying a mural of a missile attack on the Varyag were intended to send Beijing a political message. In the past, the Taiwan military often used ambiguous phrases to describe the "enemy" without mentioning China. Therefore, the Hsiung Feng 3 display was out of synch with normal military protocol that avoids enraging China.

The military-run Chungshun Institute of Science and Technology (CSIST) produces the Hsiung Feng family of anti-ship missiles, including the Tien Kung (Sky Bow) air defense missile and the Tien Chien (Sky Sword) missile.

CSIST is working on a highly classified missile system called the Hsiung Feng 2E, which is reportedly a land-attack cruise missile capable of hitting targets on mainland China. This missile has never been displayed to the public and the military refuses to discuss its existence. Another missile program considered secret is the Tien Chien 2A, which is reportedly an anti-radiation missile designed to destroy ground-based radar systems.

A CSIST official said the Hsiung Feng 3 has been outfitted on the 1101 and 1103 Perry-class frigates for testing. "We began building the Hsiung Feng III around five years ago."

The military might field the missile inland along the coast to fend off a Chinese invasion armada, he said. The Hsiung Feng 3 has a reported range of 130 kilometers.

Also on display at TADTE was the new Tien Kung 3 (Sky Bow) air defense missile. The Tien Kung is based on the U.S.-built Patriot missile defense system. Details of its probable deployment are classified

بعض أخبار المقاتلات الأوروبيه ( جريبين تايفون رافال )

Saab Aerospace's Gripen fighter continues to be the single application for Volvo's RM12 engine. By the end of 2010, the Gripen had a 23-aircraft backlog. Based on current delivery schedules, this backlog will push production into 2013.
In the absence of any new orders, Saab will be concentrating on upgrading the Gripens of Sweden's Air Force to the C/D standard. Saab is offering an updated variant of the fighter (Gripen NG) for fighter competitions in Brazil, Bulgaria, Denmark, Greece, India, the Netherlands, Romania, Slovakia, and Switzerland.
One of the elements of the Gripen NG program is a higher thrust engine. Saab has been testing a 22,000-lbst GE F414G in place of the RM12. The higher thrust gives the Gripen supercruise capability and a higher weapon payload and fuel capacity, thereby increasing range. The other elements to the NG program are an upgraded radar and avionics.
Once production of the RM12-powered Gripen has ended, we expect Volvo to support the existing fleet by continuing to produce engine modules and spares.
Snecma M88 Faces Cuts in Dassault's Rafale Program
The Snecma M88's fate is based on the Dassault Rafale fighter, which is the single application for the engine. Through December 2010, the French government ordered a total of 180 Rafales, but in 2009 Dassault announced its production rate would drop from 14 aircraft annually to 11, and that this decline would continue through 2016. This move was made to slow the delivery of the French military's new Rafales, which are competing with the existing Mirage fleet, 50 of which are undergoing a midlife upgrade. The upgrade of the Mirages may mean a reduction in the new fighter requirement to 250 aircraft from the current 294.
To date, the French government has ordered 180 aircraft; in December 2009, the last multiyear purchase contract known as Tranche 4 was announced. It is expected that Tranche 4 will cover aircraft production from 2013-2017. These aircraft will have the upgraded M88-4E engine (formerly known as the TCO Pack), which incorporates a modified high-pressure compressor and turbine. The goal of the durability development program has been to extend the engine's service life and time between inspections. Production of the M88-4E is expected to begin late in 2011.
Eurojet EJ200 Supports Eurofighter Program
The Eurojet EJ200 continues in production for its single application, the Eurofighter Typhoon. Of the three planned production batches, the first two cover the first 384 aircraft; tranche 1 production ended in 2008 and tranche 2 will continue into 2013. Tranche 3 has been split into A and B groups, with the 3A group accounting for 112 aircraft.
The question is what will happen with tranche 3B, as defense budgets in the four partner countries are under pressure and a reduction in aircraft purchases may be inevitable. The signing of the tranche 3B contracts is due to occur in 2011, and at the start of the year the prospects of an order were rather grim. As such, production of the 3A aircraft will be completed in 2016-2017.
The Eurofighter has been a slow seller on the export market. The initial order for 72 aircraft from Saudi Arabia will probably have no follow-up, as the kingdom announced plans to order 84 new F-15Es. India is still a promising potential customer with its 126-aircraft requirement, and Turkey may need up to 100 aircraft to replace its 120 F-4s. Japan may take a serious look at the Typhoon for its 50-aircraft requirement, as efforts to purchase Lockheed Martin's F-22 have been blocked by the U.S. Congress.
Eurofighter and its partners have been studying the idea of a naval variant of the Typhoon. In addition to the structural strengthening required to modify the aircraft for carrier operations, Eurofighter believes a thrust-vectoring version of the EJ200 would allow for the necessary lower approach speeds and resultant lower structural landing loads. The company says thrust vectoring could be integrated into the aircraft's advanced flight control system

سينخفض إنتاج داسو من 14 مقاتله رافال فى العام إلى 11 مقاتله وذلك
لأن سلاح الجو الفرنسى قرر تخفيض عدد 50 مقاتله رافال من إجمالى العدد المطلوب
وذلك لسببين
هو وجود منافسه للرافال وهى الميراج التى يتم حاليآ إجراء تطوير منتصف العمر على 50 مقاتله
من أسطول الميراج الحالى
والسبب الأخر هو إنتظار تطوير محرك الرافال Snecma M88

n anticipation of winning the Indian Air Force's $10.4 billion tender for 126 combat jets, European consortium EADS has offered India a choice to pioneer a project for a naval version of the Eurofighter Typhoon that is in the fray in what is being described as the "mother of all defence deals".
Typhoon's competitor in the medium multi-role combat aircraft (MMRCA) tender, the French firm Dassault's Rafale, already has a naval version that is operational on France's lone nuclear-powered aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle.
Officials of BAE Systems, one of the four partner companies in EADS for the Typhoon programme, told IANS during a visit to their RAF Warton production facility in Britain recently that India can exercise the choice of being a partner nation and leading the programme for the carrier-borne version of the aircraft if it wins the MMRCA tender. At present, Britain, Italy, Spain and Germany are partners in the Typhoon programme.
According to the BAE Systems officials, the Typhoon, which is a shore-based combat jet, has the potential to be a carrier-borne aircraft, provided a few modifications are made to the aircraft itself, essentially in a ski-jump take-off configuration due to the thrust-vectoring 90 kN (kilo Newton) engine that powers it.
Among the changes, it identifies strengthening of the undercarriage of the aircraft to assist in hard landings on a carrier's deck, fitting a carrier hook for arrested landings, and a good paint coating to help it withstand the vagaries of nature at sea.
The choice of the Typhoon for the Indian Navy the officials said, will complement the experience of operating the British Sea Harrier vertical-landing carrier-borne aircraft on board its lone aircraft carrier, INS Viraat, for over two decades now. Of the nearly 30 Harriers India had got for INS Viraat, only about 10 are left in service, with the rest lost in air crashes.
The offer has been made keeping in mind the Indian Navy's request for information issued in 2009. But the Indian Navy itself is not very amused with the offer.
First, according to officials, the Indian Navy plans to induct the Russian-built Admiral Gorshkov or INS Vikramaditya in the next couple of years. This warship will deploy Russian MiG-29K naval fighter jets and for this, the vessel is being reconfigured into a ski-jump take-off but arrested landing (STOBAR) mode at the Sevmash shipyard in Russia.
The same aircraft will be operated from the flight deck of India's indigenous aircraft carrier, under construction at the Cochin Shipyard, when it is inducted in the middle of this decade. Hence the Indian Navy has placed a total order for 45 MiG-29Ks for the two carriers from Russia.
For the future, the navy wants the Defence Research and Development Organisation's Tejas light combat aircraft's naval variant to fructify. If it does, then it may be the future carrier-borne aircraft of the navy for its two more indigenous aircraft carriers planned for construction at the Cochin Shipyard. But that decision is a long shot as it stands today, according to senior naval aviation officers.
But here is where the EADS, and BAE Systems in particular, is hopeful and is pitching the Typhoons as a powerful STOBAR platform for the future indigenous aircraft carriers of India

المغرب يتسلم أول دفعه من مقاتلات f16

 PICTURE: Morocco awaits arrival of first F-16s

Morocco is set later this week to receive its first new fighter since 1981 with the arrival of four Lockheed Martin F-16s at Ben Guerrir Air Base.
Lockheed confirmed on 1 August that Morocco's first four F-16 Block 52s, which are powered by Pratt & Whitney F100-PW-229 engines, departed the final assembly centre in Fort Worth, Texas.

The Moroccan Air Force will receive 20 more F-16s to become the 25th operator of the fighter jet worldwide. Lockheed won the contract in 2008 after the Moroccan government broke off advanced negotiations with France for the Dassault Rafale.

The complete deal for fighters, weapons and other systems was valued by the US government at more than $2.5 billion. That includes 24 F-16s, engines and Northrop Grumman APG-68(V)9 radars. Weapons also wrapped into the deal include the Raytheon AIM-120C7 AMRAAM, Raytheon AIM-9M Sidewinder, and both laser- and satellite-guided smart bombs.


المغرب سيتسلم هذا الأسبوع أول دفعه من مقاتلات الأف16
وهى عباره عن أربع مقاتلات ستهبط فى قاعدة بن جرير
بعد ما أعلنت شركة لوكهيد مارتن إنتهاء تجميع أول دفعه 
فى مركز التجميع النهائى فى فورت ورث بتكساس
والمقاتلات من طراز F-16 Block 52s
وتعمل بمحرك F100-PW-229
وتعد هذه أول مقاتلات جديده تدخل الخدمه فى سلاح الجو المغربى منذ عام 1981
وبذلك سيصبح عدد الدول المشغله للأف16 خمسه وعشرون دوله


يذكر أن لوكهيد مارتن فازت بالعقد فى عام 2008
بعد توقف مفاوضات المغرب مع شركة داسو الفرنسيه لشراء الرافال


وتقدر الصفقه ب2.5 مليار دولار وتشمل
24 مقاتله F-16s
مجهزه برادار APG-68(V)9
وستجهز بصواريخ AIM-120C7 AMRAAM
و صواريخ AIM-9M Sidewinder
وقنابل ذكيه
