Okay, to specify I meant fighters
(But those are really cool too)

Yeah, there was some interest from Israel for a twin seat F-35, but it never went anywhere, it wasn’t seen as necessary anymore given that 5th gens are so much easier to operate, however China are using it specifically for controlling drones and such, letting the J-20S perform AEW&C better as well
Seems like they are behind in datalink and radar tech then
I think it’s more a user interface issue, like for the same reason that many 4th gen aircraft have a WSO, the J-20S has one for data processing and tactical decisions as well as controlling wingman drones, which frees up the pilot to focus on just flying the aircraft

He’s really out to get me.
I’m going to vote no on a few of his suggestions.
Isn’t it Lightning II?
Since the American Lightning is the P-38
British Lightning is the English Electric one.
Britain also used the P-38, so that is one the English Electric is two and the F-35 is three
It’s usually not called the Lightning III though, just the F-35
The RAF would disagree with you though
But like I said the III isn’t used

F4D-1 (early) (Pratt & Whitney J57-P-2 engine) to early rank VI before F3H-2
AIM-9B & AIM-7D ? I’m not sure
(F4H-1F) could be premium GE rank VI ?
F4U-2, F4U-4N, F4U-5 and F4U-5NL
