ribikardin, ei saanud hästi Su definitsioonist aru. Kas Mistral, Milan, 120 mm MP, FH70 jne on profirelvad? Ei ole ju, sest nendega saavad ajateenijad hakkama. Kui kaua kestab EKV's autojuhtide koolitus? Päris kaua. Ei ole tegemist ultraproffide sõjarditega. Mis see kosmoserelv ikkagi on

The RAF looks certain to be hit hard. Douglas Barrie, of the International Institute for Strategic Studies, reckons that the air force will shrink dramatically, losing perhaps 200 jets through the early retirement of Tornadoes and Harriers and a scaling back of the plan for a 160-strong Typhoon fleet. Attack helicopters and unmanned drones will increasingly be used to support ground operations instead. The order for F-35 jets, which are to be shared between the navy and the air force, looks certain to be more than halved to around 60, saving more than £5 billion in purchase costs and at least as much in maintenance.

What sacrifices might the RAF have to make? Overall aircraft numbers seem certain to be cut, and some capabilities may be eliminated. Dalton has made public his aspiration to reduce the number of fast jet types to two: the Eurofighter Typhoon, and the US F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF). Slimming the number of types offers benefits in logistics and support costs. One possibility is to withdraw the Tornado GR4 strike aircraft from service in 2020, five years earlier than planned. In addition, the Harrier GR9 could be withdrawn earlier than the planned date of 2018. The Harrier had been due to end service in 2015, but delays to the JSF had brought an extension to its planned life in order to equip the navy's existing and future aircraft carriers. If the Harrier were withdrawn, there would be no aircraft to equip carriers until deliveries of the JSF begin – the UK plans to acquire the F-35B short take-off and vertical landing (STOVL) variant. Therefore, there could be a gap in carrier-strike capability until the first new aircraft carrier (now being built) and the F-35 both enter service – perhaps in 2017.The fate of the Harrier GR9 is particularly important for the navy, which has no other combat aircraft and risks the loss of an important capability, even if temporarily.



For nearly two decades the RAF resolutely defended its requirement for 232 Typhoons. This fleet size was based on the original aim of fielding seven front-line squadrons, an operational conversion unit for training and an operational evaluation unit, along with a number of aircraft to cover estimated losses through accidents. It has latterly reduced this to five front-line squadrons, with an inventory of 160 Typhoons now anticipated.The aircraft is being produced in a four-nation consortium with Germany, Italy and Spain. So far, the UK has ordered only 40 of an anticipated 88 aircraft in the third and final tranche, and has no stated intent to buy any more. This number includes replacement airframes for 24 Typhoons purchased originally by the UK as part of the second tranche, and now being diverted to Saudi Arabia under an agreement reached in 2007. The RAF may also need to decide what it intends to do with its first-tranche Typhoons in the longer term, and whether to carry out a 'mid-life upgrade' possibly towards the end of this decade. Whether the SDSR will further impact RAF plans with regard to the Typhoon remains to be seen.



The review could also presage changes to the UK's plans for purchasing the US-manufactured JSF. Each of the two large aircraft carriers currently planned for the Royal Navy is designed to carry up to 36 F-35s. Until now, the UK has been looking to purchase 138 F-35s in several batches. It has funded the purchase of three F-35B STOVL aircraft for the operational test and evaluation phase of the programme. A final commitment to numbers for an initial batch of F-35Bs may not occur until 2013, and there remain some within the defence ministry who would prefer to buy the F-35C conventional take-off and landing variant of the aircraft, destined for the US Navy. A further option would be to stretch out the period over which the F-35 would be acquired. But there are also cost concerns with the F-35. Pentagon figures released in mid-2010 suggested the average cost of the aircraft had risen by almost 50% over the previous decade.
