Pro-F-35 Backlash Seen As USAF F-15X Proposal Details Emerge
Other experts still want to know more about the details of the Air Force’s proposal. The F-15X must be presented to Congress as a weapon that plays a role in carrying out a National Defense Strategy (NDS) that emphasizes preparing for conflicts with China and Russia, says Andrew Hunter, director of the Defense-Industrial Initiatives Group at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
“The ‘alpha’ is impressive,” the source says, describing the F-15X in maneuvers at high angles of attack. “It’s not Raptor-like, but it is really, really nice.”
=============================================
미 공군이 F-15X 사업을 추진하는 것이 맞구요.
그 논리가 중국과 전쟁하기 위해서 필요하다는 겁니다. 아시다시피 F-35는 중국의 하이급 전투기 상대로 생존능력이 딸리니, 중국과 전쟁을 하기 위해서는 F-22급의 레이더 사거리와 기동력을 가진 전투기가 필요하고, 그걸 충족하는 전투기가 F-15X라는 거지요.
