  1. You only gain more problems when the F-35 net wants you to see something. Think about what 4 F-35s could do with MADL-linked AESAs and super computing CPUs.

  2. George Dang: Every one of your assertions is false so far about ECM, Gen 4.5, hot exhaust, F-35 flight characteristics, climb rate, range, payload, and performance. It's now being revealed that F-35 RCS is less than the F-22's due to generational advancements in shaping and RAM, as well as other VLO aspects not discussed. Canadian and Norwegian pilots who now fly the F-35 state that it has superior performance over 4th Gen aircraft in every metric you mentioned. Canadian pilot Billy Flynn, who has flown 80 aircraft including the F-16 VISTA thrust-vectored test jet, the Eurofighter, and CF-18, says when you overlay the F-35's EM diagram on all the 4th Gen birds as configured for combat, it has better climb, turn, acceleration, crusing speed, etc. The F-35 has already super-cruised for 150nm, since the production engine is way more powerful than the original F119 variants they used in the X-35. It has far superior combat radius to all the 4th Gen fighters even when they carry EFTs. Even the F-35B has better combat radius than the F-16C, and it carries the least amount of fuel of all 3 variants. The Chinese J-31 is a major program mistake by going with 2 engines, because they will take up space for fuel, and consume fuel faster, just like the short-legged MiG-29. They are using MiG-29 engines in it too, as China can't build a modern fighter engine to save their lives. China is far behind the US in RAM and VLO technology, even with the TDP in front of them that they stole from LM. The US has decades of experienced engineers and scientists who have worked on everything from the SR-71 to the F-35. China has nothing like this. Same for engines. US experience in jet engine technology within Pratt & Whitney and GE has forgotten more about fan blade, compression stage metallurgy and shaping, fuel flow, pumps, cooling, DEEC, FADEC, etc. than China will ever know.

  3. venbolo: Red Flag is absurd you say? Ever wonder why the Iraqi Air Force was decimated in about 2 days by basically 2 squadrons of F-15Cs? Red Flag is at the heart of the reason. Same thing for NTC and why the numerically-superior Iraqi armored Divisions were decimated in days. T-38 aggressors? No. Red Air uses F-16Cs stripped down, F-15Cs, F-22s, and F-35s. They've even used F-15Es with Sniper pods scanning the air on the IR spectrum looking for the F-35s. Guess what? Never detected them, got slayed. F-35 squadrons even handed over their IFF squawk freqs to try to make it more even for Red Air, still slaughtered them for sport. The main lies I've seen about the F-35 have all been critical ones like yours, extremely uninformed, yet making absolute statements about subjects you clearly know nothing of.

  4. Stu Bur: The F-35 is superior to every other aircraft other than the F-22 at: Air dominance (has air dominance advantages the F-22 does not) SEAD AWACS Interdiction Deep penetration and precision attack CAS Reconnaissance Electronic Warfare There is no reason to limit it to SEAD when it does all the other things equally well. There aren't any pure fighter-interceptors that have the ability to close into weapons NEZ like the F-35 can, without being detected. F-35 has DAS and EOTS fused to the AESA through the quad supercomputing CPU. It can PID visually using EOTS off-axis and approach to NEZ (No Escape Zone parameters). You don't even get launch warning because the weapon is too close, and the F-35 can guide it without using RF that you will detect. The F-35 is a scary air dominance platform that smokes the undefeated F-15C by leaps and bounds.

  5. The most important thing to keep in mind with US 5th Gen is not whether you can detect them or not. It is how you will defend against a net-centric web of sensor-shooters who have targeting data for you before they even take off from their airstrips or carriers. Things are going to happen much faster than they did in Desert Storm, for example, where US 3rd and 4th Gen aircraft erased the Iraqi Air Force from the sky in just a few days, bombed it into submission on the ground, cut all the C3 nodes, and GBU'd the national leadership centers. With 5th Gen, you're looking at an even more intense series of strategic attacks that are so coordinated, the impact against military infrastructure is instantaneously devastating. The last thing you want to be doing is sitting in a mobile radar station, manning a SAM battery, or flying a fighter aircraft. You already have so many TD boxes on your system, that the outcome is inevitable that you will be destroyed much sooner than you ever thought possible.
