Why does this have to be repeated? The F-35A is not giving up anything since its being compared to a plane that isn’t stealthy to begin with. Where a Eurofighter can fly with the loadout you mentioned, the F-35A can fly with more. And where a Eurofighter can’t fly because AA density is too much, a F-35A can fly with reduced loadout. This is a win in both case for the F-35A
Your point would be valid if the Eurofighter was stealthy and could carry this.
lmao can it even reach the target first. there is no cas in modern warfare, only long range glide/cruise A2G munitions or hypersonic weapons.
Ask Iran and Venezuela. These BUK M2 and S-300 sure did them good.
Yes it’s also dependent on overall airframe drag.
But regardless a better indication is how rapidly an aircraft can gain altitude without losing speed.
The EFT can do this better than basically any jet in service.
If the F-22 tries to follow a canted vertical loop (say 45 degrees nose up with moderate g 6-7G)the eft will hold its speed far better than the F-22.
you just proved me that you know nothing.
use your brain to understand that its the mossad and cia tha killed these air defense while not even in active.
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

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
