Its the bulbous engines and the general design. Its very unique
Wasn’t it funded by Lockheed but developed by the Soviets for the Yak 141?
USA tech tree might want F/A-18A & F/A-18C/D (desert storm era ~ present) from USN and USMC only
Lack F-4D (early & late), F-4A (F4H-1F), F-4B and F-4N
And I want F-8 Crusader other variants
New event vehicle rank 8 for USA in the future it might F/A-18B (desert storm era) from USN/USMC

So, what you are saying is that the USSR should get a F-35?
Spoiler

Tbf Sweden should get the F 35 before everyone else. ;)

True
With BAE support, because we had significant experience with VTOLs, supplying the only previous US service VTOL in the AV-8
Yeah.
not super familar with yak 141
i know wiki isnt the best but gives some background
The F-35 looks better than any of the previous stealth fighters
Iirc Lockheed was interested in the concept and paid to help develop the 141 but the agreement gave them all the research the Soviets made when developing the engine and Vtol
The Ho 229 is the best looking stealth fighter
And the QF 3.7 Ram, the Ram Mk II, HMCS Haida, HMCS Terra Nova, and HMCS Brantford.
Makes the most sense for the UK to get Canada before any other nation, apart from Germany and its Leopards.
pls tell me you are joking. its called fat amy for a reason
with the invasion skin chefs kiss

and yet the F-22 is bigger
besides, that has nothing to do with the design of the aircraft, which is much nicer than the F-22 and its predecessors
the Su-27 is bigger than the Il-102 too, f35 looks too chunky imo
They are different selectable options you can choose from. You cant use all 3 at once.

I already gave up trying to keep up. Don’t worry. The topic repeats itself most days ))

so we’re in agreement that the size of the aircraft doesn’t matter, the design of the F-35 is nicer, the “Fat Amy” moniker has nothing to do with the appearance of the aircraft either
