Curieux parce c 'est le témoignage du capitaine rassi qui est page 81 et il dit ceciRob1 a écrit :Ouais, mais il a été demandé à Tom Cooper sur son forum pourquoi les F-1 ne se sont pas pris des Phoenix en mode home on jam, il a répondu qu'ils n'en avaient plus à ce stade de la guerre.
They converged on them from differend directions, jamming our fighters so as to deny the opportunity to use their AIM-54
Maintenant le travail de cooper n est évidemment pas basé sur archives mais sur des ragots de pilotes
Ca fait vraiment le lapin qui sort du chapeau du magicien...^^"

B-1R
The B-1R is a proposed replacement for the B-1B fleet.[37] Boeing's director of global strike integration, Rich Parke, was first quoted about the "B-1R" bomber in Air Force Magazine.[38] Parke said the B-1R (R stands for "regional") would be a Lancer with advanced radars, air-to-air missiles, and Pratt & Whitney F119 engines (originally developed for the F-22 Raptor).[38] Its new top speed of Mach 2.2 would be purchased at the price of a 20% reduction of the B-1B's combat range. This proposal would involve modifying existing aircraft. The FB-22 and YF-23-based design are alternative proposals.
Boeing's proposal appears to modify the B-1B into a design able to serve these two purposes. For the bomb-truck role Boeing proposes the modification of existing external hardpoints to allow them to carry multiple conventional warheads, dramatically improving overall warload. For the air-to-air role, both defensive and offensive, they propose to add active electronically-scanned array radar and allow some of the hardpoints to carry anti-aircraft missiles. Even with its somewhat reduced range as compared to the original B-1B, its fuel capacity remains quite large. This would allow it to escape from unfavorable air-to-air encounters by simply running away; there are few enough aircraft capable of Mach 2+ performance in general, and those that are deployed can maintain these speeds for only very short periods of time.[37]
In general terms the B-1R most closely resembles the original F-111 concept, as opposed to a pure bomber role. However, it would be able to carry out these missions at ranges even greater than the F-111.
