Additional Information

since 1985 from a huge Arsenal of American naval aircraft, which has a long and firmly established attack aircraft A-6 "Intruder", the F-14 "Tomcat", anti-submarine S-3A "Viking", the scout RF-8C "Crusader", the aircraft AWACS E-2C "Hawkeye" and others, began gradually to withdraw to the reserve honored a combat vehicle A-7E "Corsair" F-4 "Phantom". They began to replace the new more advanced fighter-attack aircraft F/A-18A "hornet" (hornet). In this regard, it is useful to note that the "Phantom" in comparison with the "Corsair" looks much more impressive: the total flight weight of 8000 kg more, two engines, and the speed - 2400 km/h - twice as high.
But the F/A-18 and in comparison with the "Phantom" technical indicators look even more significant: the same maximum speed, but higher load on the wing, smaller size (by the way, and folding wing console), a wider range of weapons, and most importantly - more advanced sighting and navigation devices, laser sights and infrared point guidance system for bombs and missiles. That is, the F/A-18 - a better aircraft of naval aviation in all respects.
According to foreign experts, the F/A-18 is currently the best of all the aircraft that are part of the Navy aviation, taking into account its specific cost (according to the criterion of "cost-effectiveness"), One of the American aviation magazines notes: "F/A-18 is a fundamentally new development for shock aircraft. We have developed new concepts and made significant progress. For the construction and equipment of "hornet" - of course the aircraft of the future."
