7/29/2010 - TYNDALL AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. -- Today the Air Force announced actions to consolidate the F-22 fleet. The Secretary of the Air Force and the Chief of Staff of the Air Force determined the most effective basing for the F-22. This requires redistributing aircraft from one F-22 squadron to units at four F-22 bases. A second squadron will be relocated to an existing F-22 base.
The affected bases are:

• Holloman Air Force Base, N.M.: Deactivate one squadron of F-22s and redistribute that squadron's aircraft to other F-22 units. Relocate the remaining squadron to Tyndall AFB, Fla.
  
• Elmendorf Air Force Base, Alaska - receive six additional aircraft
  
• Langley Air Force Base, Va. - receive six additional aircraft
  
• Nellis Air Force Base, Nev. - receive two additional aircraft
  
• Tyndall Air Force Base, Fla. - receive one additional squadron
  

"This plan maximizes combat aircraft and squadrons available for contingencies," said Ms. Kathleen Ferguson, deputy assistant secretary for installations. "By consolidating aircraft at existing bases, F-22 operational flexibility is enhanced."
Teams surveyed four F-22 bases, evaluating them for feasibility, timing, cost and planning purposes to accept additional F-22 aircraft. The Secretary of the Air Force and the Chief of Staff of the Air Force carefully considered the site survey results and military judgment factors in making these basing determinations. These actions will be finalized subject to completion of appropriate environmental analysis.

Soweit ich das mitbekommen habe, ist der Hauptgrund weil man in HO die F16 Staffeln platzieren will um dann später auch ein paar in "drohnen" umzubauen.

Avionics

The PAK-FA will have two X-Band AESA radars located on the front and back of the aircraft. These will be accompanied by L-Band radars which are thought to be located on the wing LERX sides, or on the wing leading edges. L-Band radars are proven to have increased effectiveness against VLO targets which are optimized only against X-Band frequencies, despite being less accurate.

The PAK-FA will feature an IRST optical/IR search and tracking system.

Sukhoi recently demonstrated cockpit mock-ups, which may relate to both Su-35 or PAK-FA, suggest two very large MFDs and a very wide HUD.

Hindustan Aeronautics Limited will provide the navigation system and the mission computer.

Engines

The PAK FA was expected to use a pair of Saturn 117S engines on its first flights. The 117S (AL-41F1A) is a major upgrade of the AL-31F based on the AL-41F intended to power the Su-35BM, producing 142 kN (32,000 lb) of thrust in afterburner and 86.3 kN (19,400 lb) dry. In fact, PAK FA already used a completely new engine in its first flight, as stated by NPO Saturn. The engine is not based on the Saturn 117S. The engine generates a larger thrust and has a complex automation system, to facilitate flight modes such as maneuverability. Exact specifications of the new engine are still secret. Each engine can independently vector its thrust upwards, downward or side to side. Vectoring one engine up with the other one down can produce a twisting force. Therefore the PAK FA will be the first fifth generation fighter with full 3-D thrust vectoring along all three aircraft axes: pitch, yaw and roll.

Testing

The first flight video shows that PAK-FA has no conventional rudders, its vertical tails are fully movable. This special tail fin design is mechanically similar to V-tails used by the Northrop YF-23 in 1990s, but is supplemented by dedicated horizontal stabilators (as on the F-22). The T-50 has wing leading-edge devices above the jet engine intakes that have been called a challenge for signature control.

India and Russia are set to sign their biggest-ever defence deal with the government’s highest decision-making body clearing a mega proposal for joint development and production of fifth-generation fighter aircraft (FGFA).
The total projected value of the deal is pegged at $30 billion ($3,000 crore), with the Indian Air Force (IAF) looking at placing orders for 250-300 of the advanced fighters.
With the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) giving a go-ahead, the formal contract for the joint development and production of the fighters will be signed towards the end of this month during President Dmitry Medvedev’s visit to New Delhi.
The new fighter, which has been named as the Sukhoi T 50 PAK FA, undertook its first flight in January this year and the IAF hopes to start the induction of a specialised two-seater variant by 2017.

Unterschiede zwischen PAK-FA und FGFA
Der Unterschied zwischen dem PAK-FA und dem FGFA wird dem zwischen der Su-30M und der Su-30MKI entsprechen. Die Su-30M ist die russische Standardversion des Flugzeugs, wohingegen die Su-30MKI (MKI steht für „Modernisirowannij Kommertscheski Indiski“) gemeinsam mit der indischen Hindustan Aeronautics Limited für die indische Luftwaffe entwickelt wurde. Die Su-30MKI erhielt eine Schubvektorsteuerung sowie Canards und ist mit einer multi-nationalen – aus Indien, Israel, Russland und Frankreich stammenden – Avionik ausgestattet. Die Flugzeuge der PAK-FA- und der FGFA-Programme werden nur wenige technologische Gemeinsamkeiten aufweisen. Des Weiteren wird das FGFA vorwiegend Waffen indischer Herkunft wie Astra und in Indien entwickelte Langstrecken-Luft-Luft-Raketen einsetzen. Der russischen Einsatzdoktrin der Verwendung einer breiten Palette vielseitiger Raketen für verschiedene Einsatzarten folgend, kann eine Austauschbarkeit verschiedenster Raketensysteme erwartet werden. Die Unterschiede zwischen indischem FGFA und russischem PAK-FA sind erheblich, da die doppelsitzige Ausführung des Flugzeugs eine Neudimensionierung der Trag- und Steuerflächen erfordert.
Das FGFA kann auch mit Systemen dritter Zulieferer ausgestattet werden.
