Zitat:Die M-346/Yak-130 bzw T-50 sind weit fortgeschrieten mit wenig risiko und niedrigere Entwicklungs kosten.
Mit M-346 hat man auch ein EF partner mit an board. Vieleicht konnte man die "kooperation" erweitern.

Es war mit Sicherheit ein Fehler alle auszusondern.

Zitat:Es war ein Fehler das Flugzeug überhaupt zu bauen.

Was spricht gegen den EF als CAS? Vielleicht das es als Reines Luftüberlegenheits järer entwickelt wurde? Die luft-boden fähigheiten kamen später dazu.

Zitat:Litening II precision targeting pod: In Iraq, the Marines had 76 jump-jet AV-8B Harriers, 60 based aboard amphibious ships. During the month of heaviest fighting, they flew 2,182 air-to-ground sorties. Equipped with the Litening II, the Harriers received excellent CAS grades for finding and killing difficult targets. Its advanced airborne laser can light up a target from 15 miles away. A Marine ground controller looking at the same target through goggles can confirm that it is the right target--a challenge central to CAS

Zitat:In the stack was a mix of Air Force, Navy and Marine fighters, including A/OA-10s, F-15 Eagles, F-16 Fighting Falcons, F-14 Tomcats and F-18 Hornets.

Under this scenario, a ground commander receiving CAS “may be working with a Marine in an F-18 or Navy crew in an F-14 or an Air Force pilot in an A-10,” Moseley said. “You won’t know the difference. You’ll just know the call sign and the location.

Zitat:RAF Harrier GR7As, part of the Joint Force Harrier based at RAF Cottesmore, are playing a major role in southern Afghanistan. The Harriers, deployed in Afghanistan since September 2004, are constantly engaged in supporting both the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in rebuilding Afghanistan and Operation Enduring Freedom in the south of the country.

Zitat:"I have never had a mission where ground manoeuvre and air assets were so well linked," he said. "When we kicked in the door, less than a second later the Harriers were over the target building. All the insurgents were so shocked, there were no engagements and we secured the objective in less than a minute."

The release quotes Wing Commander Hedley as saying: "Having first identified precisely the location of the enemy, they will then fly low and fast over the enemy positions as a show of force and their sheer presence often coerces the enemy to stop what they are doing." It also notes that the squadron's Harrier IIs have only deployed munitions on 13 operations.

Zitat:"While US forces are slowly rebuilding the runway at Kandahar, the Harrier's V/STOL (Vertical/ Short Take-Off and Landing) capability makes it the only fast jet fighter able to operate from the south of the country, and the sole local jet asset readily available to support allied troops on the ground.
