  1. Odd question, this is deployment with 2 other nations ships as part of the group visiting 40 more.

  2. FAA still exist and have pilots flying the F35B.

  3.  @trevortrevortsr2  Navy squadrons ae generally smaller, around 12.

  4.  @trevortrevortsr2  I was just correcting you claiming 18 wasn't a squadron. I don't know why you'd think that meant Xi cannot count?

  5.  @trevortrevortsr2  no they are going as part of there own armed forces. If your stating total Chinese numbers the comparison is total British and US at least. But we're at peace anyway, nothing wreakless in the slightest.

  6.  @trevortrevortsr2  I think asserting international law as one of many countries that regularly do it isn't remotely wreckless. And as we saw nothing interesting happened. What do you think is going to happen?

  7. We are better off building part of every F35 than all of a few.

  8. Not the fleet, just a single frigate.

  9. Missiles are faster than bombers.

  10. Also we were invited to the Black sea, by countries like Ukraine and Georgia.

  11. The F35B has a decent range much longer than the harrier. It doesn't have problem with load, that the point of carrier size and ski jump. 2 x 65k carrier is more than all but a couple of countries that is impressive. Ski jump are more recent than catapults.

  12.  @leneanderthalien  the F35B can take of from QE with full fuel, internal and external weapons. The F35B does have a smaller fuel load than the F35C and a full load of 2000lb bombs is too heavy but the UK don't use them anyway.

  13.  @davidwright4891  In total it will be thousands with the helicopters and all the support crew. For F35B pilots I read an article a few years ago that had it about even but slightly more RAF, say 55%/45%.

  14. Eastern neighbours like the Dutch that are part of this fleet.

  15. Collaborations allow us to spend less on development ourselves yet have more in total spend on development. That is particularly true for something complex yet niche like the STOVL F35B.

  16. They were always in Syria with naval base before the conflict, but I believe they have a permanent airbase too now.

  17. You know any prospect of invasion ended with the Battle of Britain before the USSR even entered the war?

  18. We worked together on this, like we did on latter Harriers.

  19. How can you describe 65k tonnes as titchy?
