is the F-35B not Mach 2?
1.6
omg Frenchified Eurofighter
French EAP one could say
Nope mach 1.6 or so
Yeah but this one would be the only vtol of France so it seems legit to me
oh god, so even worse than the F/A-18
i remind you of your earlier statment
is the Conventional version any better?
not a fair comparison, its way faster than a Harrier which is what its replacing
read the rest
I said I haven’t done any research
it is an airframe limitation
you said that i didnt
why not? the F-35A is replacing the Tornado IDS
is it faster or slower than that?
Nope, the F-35 can’t even supercruise
It is in fact a very mid jet if you turn off the satellite-relying systems
o.O then why bother?
oh wait, is that why we’re upgrading the Eurofighter to take the Tornados roles, with one exception?
Wth is this even
Most F-35 operators bought it for diplomatic reasons, not because it was the most suited aircraft for their needs… In fact a eurocanard would’ve been more suitable for the needs of most F-35 operators
Justification for modern / near-future sailing warships
Time to go take your lääkkeet
more survivable, better systems, better at defending itself, much more potential
