But it has instead a defensive suite.
You are operating on this idea that stealth aircraft always win in A2A combat. its an advantage, but it doesnt mean the otherside cant fight back. Like what is stopping the Typhoon from just dropping a few Britecloud when it detects the Missile launch at long range?
This attitude that stealth always wins because its stealth is just stupid
BuT iTs StEAltH. ITs Lockheed bro
The F-35 is the modern day harrier it does the same role that the AV-8A was slated to do except on the modern battlefield.
That’s why it’s perfect for the USMC
But not the right choice for the royal navy
lmfao. Israeli pilots dropped 3709 bombs on 2879 Iranian targets in 12 days, with F-35s being credited as a central role in target identification, air defense suppression, and strike coordination. Without losing a single manned aircraft, sustaining battle damage, or suffering a major mechanical failure. But hey, Mossad something if it helps you cope with it.
my plane can carry same as your but its better because there is stealth in the name.
he know nothing and dare to say what would a reddit usa fan would says
So after EFT will rafale be at second place or F-22 in canted vertical?
Kinda my point
“Made in the USA” tags seem to have a defacto definition of “superior”
Which I just find a funny attitude
these were the f15 mostly but sure buddy you can still live in your dream.
F-22 beats Rafale
Rafale will lose to eft in this manner and that’s been confirmed by Ate Cheut a former Rafale pilot.
Yeah, its a replacement for aircraft like the Harrier, but I dont think it replaces things like the Typhoon, Rafale or Gripen.
Which is precisely why they arent really being bought to replace those euro-canards
No and they can not it’s not what it’s made for
It can’t even replace the FA.2 in all honesty as a fleet defense capability
Ohk. Well thanks for the info
Yes no worries but it all comes down to forcing your opponent to fight on your terms.
Even the IAF disagrees with you but you do you.
holy you listen directly to the moderator ? wonder why they are buying all the media
Ive got to go for a bit, but the point is this.
Americans love to make it out like the difference between the Euro-deltas and the F-35/F-22 is the difference between a WW1 biplane and a korean war era jets.
The reality is that they are waaaaaay closer than they think and this attitude that the F-22/F35 will be totally and completely untouchable is nonsense and if they were, then there would be a significant BR difference between them and everything else
Before you go can you at least tell me in which topic was the RAF source about F-35 being detected at 60km?
It was in one of the recent US top tier cope threads, but I cant find it. Might have been deleted?
But I dont think the statement is that unreasonable for one of the best AESA radars designed specifically to counter stealth aircraft
huh okay? I mean, there’s a full detailed report of the bombing campaign of Iran written by a retired general and using information from security officials. I quote one part(and there’s much more):
“The integration of the F-35 was a game changer for Israel achieving air superiority over Iran. No Israeli aircraft entered Iranian airspace at any point unless it was led by F-35s, which could include the F-35 escorting formations of F-15s and F-16s from dozens of miles away; as one Israeli pilot told JINSA, they would not have wanted to fly in Iran without the F-35s there.”
Just take the L my man.
However having some source would be better than speculating thing. Anyways i would try to go deeper to find them since now i know they are available on the internet. Maybe i fail this time too. Also i Don’t remember seeing any other cope thread in past week.
