the U.S. Air Force announced that it has secret the Ha Fula military bases in the United Arab Emirates to deploy super fighter F-22.
In recent years, the trend of advocating nuclear issue in Iran has been the United States abhors the United States and Iran against each other for several years, and finally in order to meet the continuing “war of words” and timely throw a blockbuster in mind . April 27, the U.S. Air Force announced the deployment of super fighter F-22 has secret the Ha Fula military bases in the United Arab Emirates. This is the news of Iran by surprise, immediately caused an uproar. It can be said that the United States has the F-22 deployed to Iran’s doorstep, the United States and Iraq Running out is bound to continue to upgrade.
F-22 deployment of thunder and heavy rain small “
well known, the fourth-generation super fighter of the U.S. Air Force since 2010, and accidents, which The most striking is a major failure of the airborne oxygen generation system led to the pilots of the air breathing to become a major problem. Since July 2010, the F-22 had several stop training flight, not to talk about combat deployment. In December 2011, the U.S. Air Force chief of staff, Schwartz will be questioned for the F-22 design defects, and to ask the military to be sure to find out the problem, in order to smooth out equipment in the 187 aircraft delivered. In addition, the message indicates that the current delivered to the U.S. Air Force F-22 is only completed the initial phase of the upgrade, a far cry from a real established combat capability. Lockheed Martin said that the completion of the F-22 is 3.1 incremental upgrade, this upgrade is just the fighter can carry a small number of “Joint Direct Attack Munition, in order to achieve the over-the-horizon strike capability, and install a lot of ammunition (both equipped with AIM-9X Sidewinder air-to-air combat missile and the AIM-120 advanced BVR air-to-air missiles and GBU-53 small diameter aerial bombs), but also completed the “Increment 3.2 upgrade, this upgrade 2015 to achieve, and military spending cuts is also a big problem. One can imagine, the actual combat capability of the F-22 fighter jets deployed in the United Arab Emirates Ha Fula base yet to be verified.
the first time since February 2005 in Okinawa, Japan, military bases since the deployment of the F-22 is only deployed in overseas military bases in Hawaii and Guam military bases, and the very limited number of subordinates intent is the F-22 initial adaptation of overseas combat environment, especially the various conditions of the Western Pacific Region. With the adjustment of the U.S. strategic focus, F-22 future is mainly deployed in the western Pacific, the use of its supersonic cruise capability and ultra-long-range attack capability to pose a threat to the United States believes that the potential enemy.
F-22 deployed in the Middle East, first of all to familiar with the more complex environment of the Middle East, after the F-22 deployment here to go through at least six months to adapt and run before they may make a difference. Of course, in the combat capability, the F-22 completely capable of devastating air strikes against Iran, no doubt. And is lagging behind Iran’s air defense system to resist the offensive of the F-22 Super fighter is probably fantasy. Second, the deployment of fighters just on the one hand, the F-22 requires a strong logistical support guarantee, such as maintenance and support personnel and spare parts and equipment, supplies, etc., this seemingly huge logistical deployment will take time.
deterrent intention is clear
the entire Middle East geopolitical environment is more complex, and present, from the big trends in the United States against Iran military action unlikely. Moreover, military action, the adversaries of Israel, the United States and Iran, there are differences, the U.S. military force against Iran by the more limiting factor. Therefore, the United States but to take the force to deploy to maintain deterrence posture against Iran, to break the “balance of power” in the traditional sense. This action provides for the upgrade of the United States and Iraq Running out of space. It can be said, the more Dazui Zhang, “The more that the secret contest the United States and Iraq are some”.
in mid-April, Iran announced that its independent research and unmanned aerial vehicles have been put into active service, the operational capabilities of this UAV is fully in line with Iran’s national political aspirations, which can effectively fight back the threat of U.S. strategic. In addition, in February this year, Iran has also held several military exercises code-named “Dawn”, issued to the United States continuously for the signal of confrontations. In this regard, the United States to be outdone, the news that the United States, “John C. Stennis carrier group and the Carl Vinson aircraft carrier fleet is still in the Persian Gulf waters for cruise activities, and stationed in Bahrain, U.S. Navy 5th Fleet Air Force Base fighter in Saudi Arabia, Turkey’s Air Force Base fighter almost on Iran constitute the encircling, allowing Iran to breath. The deployment of the F-22 heavy fighter in the UAE is the Iranian threat.
UAE Ha Fula military base just 320 kilometers from the Iranian coastline, if the F-22 fighter took off from here, supersonic cruise capability to nearly 1.5 times the speed of sound (1500 km/h) speed navigation , does not take dozens of minutes arrived in Iran over the strike and destroy Huanglong. In the case without aerial refueling, the F-22 returned from take off to bomb to a series of tasks to complete only in an hour. It can be said that such a deterrent to Iran almost fatal.
outside in addition to deterrence, the U.S. military there is no lack of intention to drill new equipment in the Gulf region. On the fighter, the U.S. Air Force F-15, F-16 base of allies in the Gulf region to deploy, and has held up quite well during the Gulf War. It can be said that the third-generation fighter in the U.S. Air Force after nearly 20 years of practical exercise has been completely familiar with the operational environment of the Gulf region, but the F-22 is currently not enough. For four generations of machines that will replace the third-generation fighter to adapt to the new battlefield environment is very important, long-term experience accumulated through continuous deployment. Through the deployment of military bases in the United Arab Emirates F-22 fighter, Obama received the efficacy of the two birds with one stone. Running out ofUnited States and Iraq continued to upgrade
for secretly competing with the United States and Iraq, the Obama administration can not this news announcement, but take the approach of the cover of darkness to fight Iran, a flat-footed. Therefore, the announcement of the message is Obama to the people that’s tough stance on Iran. The upcoming election for the Obama administration, Iran factors play a role. From this point can be seen, followed by military training, political intentions.
At the same time, after this incident, Iran has also carried out a strongly worded protest, it might lead to the determination of the Ahmadinejad government continues to seek nuclear aspirations, making the situation difficult to control, for the Iranian nuclear issue the relaxation of a challenge.
the United States announced the deployment of F-22 fighter news, but how to deploy the number of planes, and how strong the deployment of combat capability of the fighter still the Department of the confidential stage. As a result, the United States and Iraq’s secret contest will continue to upgrade. The newspaper Zhuangao Cheng Dazhuang,
