Buenísimo razonamiento. Tampoco han tenido bombarderos pesados y los vecinos menos, así que si los Rusos les queda Tupolev Tu-4 por ahí entonces debe adquirirse
de inmediato, si señor.
Pues eso depende de lo que consideren las FAN
El hecho es que Venezuela no necesita bombarderos pesados pero si sistemas antiaéreos.
Ahora si la idea es criticar por criticar pues; cosa que no espero de ti porque siempre escribes con mucho conocimientos; te doy toda la razón y asunto arreglado.
Yo he dado mis razones y creo que son sólidas.
Venezuela no se puede permitir compras de ese porte una vez por década. Los aviones que se compraron son, junto a sus armas, parte de un sistema que va a estar en uso mínimo 30 años. Ergo... se debió comprar un sistema con mucho futuro.
Veamos qué dicen los analistas de la industria:
AESA, Other Developments Drive Radar Production
(Source: Forecast International; issued Oct. 29, 2008)
NEWTOWN, Conn. --- Forecast International projects the worldwide radar market to be worth $50 billion over the 2008-2017 timeframe. In "The Market for Radar Systems" analysis, the production, operations and maintenance, and RDT&E programs of 113 radar systems are covered. Over the next 10 years, the study projects 13,325 individual radar units will be produced.
Advancements in technology are driving demand for new radar systems around the world. “Advancements in digital and electronic technology are further improving radar capabilities," said William Ostrove, electronics analyst and author of the study. The latest advancements, such as Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA), are appealing to the most advanced militaries around the world. The U.S. military’s latest fighter aircraft, such as the F/A-18E/F, F-22, and F-35, all include AESA radars.
Military buyers are increasingly seeking AESA radars for retrofit as well as for new-build programs. “Many radar manufacturers believe there is a large market for retrofitting AESA radars on older in-service aircraft," said Ostrove. "The U.S. Air Force’s decision to upgrade its aging F-15s with AESA radars could be the first in a growing trend.” The study cites Raytheon’s and Northrop Grumman’s introduction of small, scalable AESA radars as evidence that manufacturers see a large market for radar upgrades.
Increased levels of production have allowed economies of scale to take place, lowering costs and increasing appeal. What was once reserved for only the richest and most powerful militaries is finding its way across the globe. The United Arab Emirates demanded an AESA variant of the APG-68 be included with its recently purchased F-16E/Fs. India also has asked for AESA radars to be included in its upcoming Medium Multi-Role Combat Aircraft (MMRCA) fighter competition. Russia, Israel, and some European countries are working on AESA radars to compete with U.S. offerings.
The study points to other recent developments that are driving radar production as well. Miniaturization and reduced costs have made Airborne Early Warning & Control (AEW&C) radars more appealing to countries with smaller defense budgets, such as South Korea, Turkey, and Pakistan.
New technology has also made it possible to combine functions that were previously performed by multiple radars into a single unit. The Ground/Air Task Oriented Radar (G/ATOR), which will replace the TPS-63, MPQ-62, TPS-73/79, and TPQ-46A with a single system in U.S. Marine Corps service, is one example, according to Ostrove.
Despite an overall projected decline in the radar market over the next 10 years, the radar industry continues to be worth an enormous amount of money. The major players, such as Raytheon and Northrop Grumman continue to top Forecast International's list of top five radar producers. Other companies that join them on that list include the MEADS International consortium, Israel Aerospace Industries, and Rockwell Collins. Consortiums, such as MEADS International and Euroradar, continue to play an important role in the radar industry.

Las antenas de arreglos fásicos, activas o pasivas, son el futuro. Teniendo la opción... se titubeo y se compró lo de ayer.
Si decir algo así de obvio levanta ronchas, yo lo que recomiendo es examinarse el mal entendido sentido del orgullo.
Como dije antes, si se estuviera comprando de lo más moderno que ofrecen los rusos también abrían críticas, asi que....
Exactamente. Las críticas estarían ahí de un modo u otro...
entonces asumes que vas a ser criticado y compras bien. Sin complejos, sin verguenza, sin apuros, bien planeado y sobre todo bien ejecutado.
Por bien ejecutado entiéndase... con bases construídas con las instalaciones necesarias para la infraestructura de mantenimiento que un sistema de armas de ese tipo trae por detrás y cursos de entrenamiento que garantizen el reemplazo de tripulaciones entrenadas de modo que se dispongan de dos a tres por avión.
De hecho, me preocupa más que se compren T-72 que TorM1, ese tanque fué acabado en la guerra del golfo. En cambio con los TorM1 tendríamos superioridad regional en sistemas antiaéreos, a pesar de lo " viejos " que sean.
No se, los Israelíes se metieron hasta donde les provocó en espacio aéreo Sirio, bombardearon una instalación militar y salieron sin que nadie los vea, ni siquiera los Rusos en Tartus, y dicen por ahí que ellos tienen una batería S-300 en el puerto. Y no es solamente que no vieron a los cazas que realizaron el ataque, sino que tampco vieron al aparato no determinado que llevó a los comandos que designaron el blanco. Nadie vió NADA. Dime tu si se necesita lo mejor de lo mejor o no.
