  1. Enumerateevaluate?? "Older jets generate so much more turning force, if you will, that they are much better at maneuvering and conserving fuel. This makes the F-35 relatively worse at things like dog fighting, air interdiction, and bombing" ??? what is this nonsense ,seriously ???? look The F-18 E/F and F-16 F-18s combat radius is 449 and the F-16s without CFTs is 340 the F-35A combat radius is 613 miles it has 160 mile plus range on older gen fighters secondly, older jets have to carry their weapons and extra fuel on the wings which degrades their performance F-35s can perform their missions clean research the what clean means for planes lastly ?? The F-117s stealth is 70s based technology. The F-35s is more advanced as its uses better materials

  2. Ima SuperPerson how does the plane not work its been operational since 2015 people are quick to jump on the reports about the F-35 problems never on its success for example everyone claims that the F-16 is better yet the F-16 when it entered service lost over 100 planes with 10 years. Causes included faulty wiring, engine problems etc etc The plane works better than most planes at this stage The teen series paid a heavy price in lives that the F-35 does not pay

  3. Ima SuperPerson actually that would be u out the loop i use current information, not dated facts from years ago like yourself. Anyone that says it does not work , is referring to problems that plane had early on. furthermore has no clue about aircraft development.

  4. About bloody time

  5. Ima SuperPerson example Trump takes aim at F-35 without even being briefed by the project director. furthermore ,the program has been reducing cost by 3.7 percent average per year So all trump is doing is trying to put his name and claim he did that

  6. Enumerateevaluate  Yeah most older jets don't have what the F-35 has

  7. Considering that Ukraine has 60 launchers to use ATACMS Russia's problems just got a lot worst

  8. Its good but it does a need CROWS with a 20mm cannon with programmable/airburst rounds for counter drone 50 cal is not going to cut it

  9. Trump attacking the F-35 is just hot air. He has present a real alternative to congress to justify any action he takes which is impossible as the USAF/ USMC has zero alternative to the F-35.

  10. Ima SuperPerson yet 10 countries have placed firm orders for it. The best variants of the F-16 and F-18 cost more than the F-35

  12. JackRABBITslim27 In other words , 70s technology. crazy myths ?? combat radius , internal weapons carriage and better technology is fact not fiction

  13. Russian forces get their hands on the Abrams but it literally won't matter What people are missing is that tanks days on the battlefield are numbered 1 F-15E can carry up to 28 GBU-53s. So 2 EA-18G for jamming with 2 F-35s second hunting SAMS with 2 F-22s as top cover and 1 AWACS plus the 5 F-15s with GBU-53s With 12-14 planes, you can wipe up 140 enemy vehicles on the ground The GBU-53s 105lbs warhead can shred any tank regardless of APS, ERA/NERA in hit SAMs have been the long arm but with hypersonics, its new problems a TLAM needs hours to reach target while hypersonics cover the same distance is minutes and at some distances seconds The other side of that coin is missiles on trucks The Spike NLOS can strike from over 15 miles away and can be mounted on JTLV with 8 missiles The missile is capable of performing 90 drop on targets You can move 12 JTLV around faster than 12 Abrams Armor's value is steadily falling

  14. No one said the ORC bots were smart They havent caught on that for Military Industrial Complex Ukraine equals Ka-ching it win, win win win situation weapon performs great- ka-ching sales weapon fails, -ka ching money for research and development for better weapon weapon gets captured,ka ching for research and development for a new variant military send weapons- triple ching, - contract for restock , contract for training , contract logistic

  15.  @ahassanization  No one said its sustainable however for right now ,its bring in the dough

  16. The Stryker Mobile Gun System was a sound concept just poorly designed They should used the Japanese Type 16 MCV as base

  17. Thats is the magic question but better let than never

  18.  @yaroslavishutko816  The US position with ATACMS never mind any sense The last time the US used the ATACMS was 2003 Secondly, when the US kicks in the door, it was TLAM and CALCM With CALCM retired, its TLAM and JASSM The ATACMS gives the US ready fire in certain situations but its highly unlikely they would ever be used as the US has far more capable weapons The whole PrSm was to address ATACMS short comings Even now ATACMS still doesnt make sense What the US should done is contract Boeing to make Harpoon coastal defense units with Harpoon Block II+ ER for Ukraine which carry 4 missiles vs 2 on M270 and 1 on HIMARS The Harpoon Block II+ ER can attack both land and sea targets up 190 miles 4 times the striking power but with the same mobility but also able to target ships at sea

  19. The weapons Ukraine has right now are only triaging the situation and no they will not lead to victory Ukraine getting F-16s are the weapon that will stop Russian and lead to victory Currently , Ukraine is limited on attacking the Black Sea unless they catch them in port, with F-16s they can hunt them at sea Ukraine's MIG-29s, Su-27s and Su-24 can use western weapons in limited capability whereas, the F-16 can fully use US, UK, EU, FR and Israeli weapons Example Russia jammers have no effective on laser guided bombs which the F-16 can use

  20.  @benx6264  The M10 weights 42 tons while the ACV weighs 35 tons Adding 105mm to the ACV would only be 4-5 tons extra fully loaded You get the 105mm capability without having to add extra MOSs

  21. Once Ukraine gets F-16 and munitions fully operational then yes, this conflict will be over shortly

  22.  @thevoxdeus  yeah they dont need it lets recap how badly things will go once F-16s are operational First while Ukraine got lucky and KOed to Russian ships in port, the F-16 can carry 2 Harpoon ASM and allow the Ukrainian air force to hunt the Black Sea Fleet at sea. Air launched Harpoons can be launched from over 100 miles while Russia frigates defenses max out at 31 miles Only the Moskva could have stopped F-16s from attacking To protect Russian shipping, aircraft would have to be n in Crimea, However the US is providing ATACMS which means Crimea just become a massive target While MIG-29 and Su-27 can only uses AGM-88 and JDAMs at fraction of capability F-16s can fully use them plus they can use Laser guided bombs and maverick missiles Once again, Russian forces will have commit aircraft which again works for Ukraine

  23.  @Daniel-ty2ke  And your point is ? oh wait you dont have one Ukraine offensive capabilities were limited however the addition of F-16s and ATACMS will greatly change that

  24.  @FireAngelOfLondon  Airburst rounds for 50 is not possible the fragmentation would be nothing 20mm or 25mm have far better fragmentation

  25. This video is why I laugh when Russian claims to destroy a HIMARS The Ukraine forces are not leaving them just out in the open for the world to see
