  1.  @elitewarrior0076  The Harrier was not named widow maker, that was the F 104 a real killer of pilots. The Harrier was very good and USA could not make anything close having to buy from Britain and the later improvements were largely by British aerospace with some input by McDonnel Douglas.

  2. The Argentine pilots did not think so.

  3. The Harrier is the only successful VTOL

  4.  @fliegerfaust4261  Just answer 3 simple questions. Who invaded the Falklands which was and still is British territory Who lost over 20 aircraft in air combat with no victories? Who lost and were sent packing? Of course you will lie about it but then what else would one expect from you and your imaginary 32 friends. Maybe you should try to learn history rather than waste time telling lies.

  5. The F 35 is not only very expensive, it lacks performance and has a small payload . It is not even able to operate much, I notice they still have problems including not liking to get hot.
    2
  6. TheReal Lifebacks. The F 35 has poor performance and a small payload unless you hang stores under the wings and lose any stealth. The F 35 may take 50 years to replace anything at the current rate of progress.
    1
  7. They won`t operate for 70 years, lucky if they do at all at the current rate of progress, the cost is already so high that for a fraction the money there could be many hundreds of working planes instead.
    1
  8. The full F 35 cost is way higher and it is not truly operational yet, just like the f 22 which has been in service for many years but done almost nothing, both need so much maintenance that they would need to cost almost nothing to make up for running costs.
    1
  9. The f 35 A and B have been declared mission ready for a mission that does not exist. The F 22 has done nothing much because there is nothing much for it to do, a complete waste of time and money, it is not even great for air superiority. The F 35 is not great for anything. The F 35 cost is far too much for far too little. The F 35 maintenance is very high for a plane that hardly ever flies. It does not like getting wet or hot. So if there was a war it would be a case of lets wait for the right conditions.
    1
  10. The Flop 35 B hardly counts for anything. The V 22 is mainly notable for crashing and killing it`s crew. The Harrier is the first and only successful VTOL to date, we have been waiting for the F 35 for over ten years and all it is so far is promises. A Helicopter does take off and land vertically but is not called a VTOL.
    1
  11. Current rate of progress and they will be waiting another 40 years, maybe the Marines could do with learning how to fly if they have such a bad record with the Harrier, The RAF and RN did not have anything like the problems. The V 22 was built in much smaller numbers, is much slower. The helicopter was not invented in USA, they copied it just like everything else.
    1
  12. Last time Nato countries bought a Lockheed plane they got stuck with the F 104, that went well didn`t it?
    1
  13. The F 35 should be classified as a DNTOIIIH.

  14.  @fliegerfaust4261  Since you are telling lies, 6 ships sunk and 18 damaged, many of the damaged were not seriously damaged. In air combat 3 Skyhawk, 9 Dagger and 1 Mirage, another Mirage damaged but later shot down by the Argentine army, that was by Sea Harrier pilots who sustained no losses in air combat.
    1
  15.  @fliegerfaust4261  Not a single Sea Harrier shot down or damaged in air combat, about 6 when being used for ground attack. You know about war secrets, really plonker you are very ignorant.
    1
  16.  @fliegerfaust4261  You only know the ignorant misinformation that you are claiming as true, The crews of the aircraft carriers know what happened and that is that no Sea harrier as shot down in air combat at all. one Mirage fires a missile at a Sea harrier which missed while the Mirage was shot down. Obviously the British are not liars like you. as for courage the British have plenty of that. I love how ignorant morons like you are too cowardly to make comments for themselves instead using we as if it is a number of people rather than just one.

  17.  @fliegerfaust4261  The truth only hurts morons like you who have no idea.

  18.  @fliegerfaust4261  I think you are stupid. It is funny how morons like you have no idea. Vietnam did beat the US, you ran away, I guess that according to you Argentina won, Britain ran away and now the Falklands is controlled by Argentina. I just thought you were ignorant not a raving lunatic. We English do not jump, we stand and fight.
    1
  19.  @fliegerfaust4261  Insulting an ignorant moron like you. I do not have anything to admit unlike you telling pathetic lies. No we do not commit war crimes and we do not lie. Britain does win, we are not cowards. when Argentina invaded our land we went and took it back and we still have it. Argentina never owned the Falklands and has no legitimate claim. The best you can do is an unknown nobody. I am sure you are just as stupid.
    1
  20.  @fliegerfaust4261  No war crimes and sinking the Belgrano which along with other Argentine ships was aiming to attack the British fleet was a legitimate target. Too bad for you that i was around when the Argentine military attacked our land and got their sorry asses well and truly kicked. A fool like you is incapable of any research or investigation . You should stick to Spanish your English is terrible not that your Spanish is anything to write home about. It really is sad how idiots like you have to make up lies Never mind, one day you might grow up and get a bit of an education, I would recommend going somewhere that has a decent education system and not Argentina, especially when it comes to history. .

  21.  @fliegerfaust4261  One of your friends has surviving family members, That is quite likely, Galtieri could not kill them all, I guess you have surviving family members, too bad that you are so ignorant. So should I look at the Argentine lies like you do? I prefer the truth. Unlike you we are not cowards and liars.
    1
  22.  @fliegerfaust4261  Unlike you I have real books on the Falklands war and I was around, I recall an Argentine soldier pointing an FN SMG at me, I was unarmed at the time. Now go back to your play school.
    1
  23.  @fliegerfaust4261  I know everything you claim is a lie. No Sea Harriers were ever shot down in air combat. The Belgrano was not withdrawing, even the Captain of the Belgrano never made that claim. You never tell the truth. You do not have red or blue, just yellow
    1
  24.  @fliegerfaust4261  The Mirage missed and that was with a missile, the Mirage was shot down, the Sea Harrier returned safely. The Belgrano did not retire, the Belgrano and its escorting destroyers were circling round to attack from the South while the aircraft carrier and other ships were going to attack from the North. The Belgrano was sunk and the other ships returned home. I get the yellow, that is you. There are many stories which you do not know, I saw a lot of it at the time and I saw how Argentina lost. I know plenty about honesty, a shame you don't. Britain has no reason to lie about what happened, they never lied about any losses of ships unlike Argentina claiming ships sunk that were not even damaged. If you knew how to investigate you might know the truth but you are just too ignorant.
    1
  25.  @fliegerfaust4261  You are very ignorant, the Belgrano and escorts were going to attack the British fleet from the South while the other ships were going to attack from the North. No Sea Harrier was shot down in air combat. The damaged Mirage almost made it to port Stanley but was shot down by Argentine anti aircraft fire. You are very much out of your depth in this. Confirmed losses Britain 6 Sea Harrier and 4 Harrier all when doing ground attack. Argentina 1 Mirage, 9 Dagger and 25 Skyhawks. 23 were shot down by Sea Harriers. The Mirage was used less because the Dagger had better range.
    1
  26.  @fliegerfaust4261  You do nothing but lie and I call ignorant not knowing anything about the Falklands war when the Argentines attacked British territory and were kicked out. A random person who you say was on the Belgrano would know more than the Captain of the Belgrano I suppose. Withdrawing is nonsense as is the misinformation spread by ignorant fools about the exclusion zone. The exclusion zone was for any ships or aircraft from countries not at war, the Argentine ships or aircraft could be attacked anywhere. I love this fiction about 32 working 7 hours a day since it is just you repeating the Argentine lies that have been shown to be false. Now the 7 hours a day for you is the school your parents send you to.
    1
  27.  @fliegerfaust4261  The truth which is that Argentina illegally invaded British territory, Argentina lied about it and there are many in Argentina who continue to lie. Belgrano was retired by a British submarine. It was a threat and dealt with. This imaginary 32 which you now say is 11 can keep on lying all you like. Sorry little boy many like me were around and saw a lot of what happened, we also saw how many people were murdered in Argentina by your own military. No wonder the civilians in the Falklands want to stay British. Of course there is false information, how else do you explain the Argentine claims of either badly damaging or sinking the Invincible ? There is a photo of the Invincible returning to Portsmouth after the Falklands war and i have personally been on board since then too. High school? I went to high school in the 1960's. I was 32 during the Falklands war and thousands of miles away from home. You were? Not even thought of by your parents.When you grow up and get a job I trust you will stop wasting your time with your petty obsession about the Falklands islands or you won't keep a job very long. Poor little boy you really are just a very ignorant and insignificant fool.

  28.  @fliegerfaust4261  Unlike you I never lie. A child does not have adult children, I do 36 and 40 years old. I do not care what lies you try to make up. Unlike the Argentinians the British never hid a thing. The only humiliation is ignorant morons like you making such fools of yourselves. Surely your playmates have no idea about the Falklands war that you were not involved in. It does not matter if you are 32 or 32,000 if you are stupid. I know why you are so ignorant, it is because you hate that the Argentine military got its sorry asses well and truly kicked and you want to try to change history. It was the best thing to happen in Argentina for many years, instead of making up lies you should be thanking Britain. Too bad that you can't change what happened.

  29.  @fliegerfaust4261  You are exposed as a moron as well as liar. You can't even read properly, no wonder you are so ignorant. My children are 36 and 40, my son was 2 years old and I was 32 years old during the Falklands war. Is there anything you can get right?

  30.  @fliegerfaust4261  Maybe you read it wrong? Either you did read it wrong or you were telling lies. You do not want to read my comments because the truth is inconvenient for you. I do not cry unlike a little nobody like you. Everyone uses technology in a fight, we used our own technology, you used US, French, Israeli and British technology. While your pilots were brave it comes down to ability and our pilots as well as being brave were better. Your troops were not as brave or as good as ours. Your country started the war and lost little wanker so just accept the truth and get over it.
    1
  31.  @fliegerfaust4261  You were not there little wanker. The Argentines invaded and took over British territory then a smaller numbers of British troops went and kicked them out. Obviously what you are saying is all lies. You are ridiculous.
    1
  32.  @fliegerfaust4261  Argentina never owned any part of the Falklands. British territory it is and will always be. Argentina tried to steal the Falklands and lost. The Exocet which is French, does Argentina have any of them left or any aircraft capable of using them?
    1
  33.  @fliegerfaust4261  When Barack Obama visited in March 2016, Air Force One was accompanied by US Air Force F-16s because Argentina could only offer Pucarás and Pampas for air defense. Where were these Super Etendard? I believe Argentina still has a couple of them but they are old aircraft and obsolete. They would not last long against the Typhoon.
    1
  34.  @fliegerfaust4261  Just like last time except Argentina has less now, no Mirage, no Dagger and a few if any very obsolete Sky Hawks and a couple of obsolete Etendards and could not beat us when we were very much outnumbered. Keep laughing at your own jokes, that is all you have in your joke of a country. Very sad since Argentina was once a rather nice country before being ruined by the military.
    1
  35.  @fliegerfaust4261  The invaders did get beat, well and truly which is why the Falklands do not belong to Argentina, they never did. The British did not invade British territory. The Exocet did sink just two British ships. Not exactly much to write home about. How is life with the 32 morons you kept ranting about. Are they all in the same Interdisciplinario Psicoasistencial José Tiburcio Borda ?
    1
  36.  @fliegerfaust4261  Losing is losing and that is exactly what Argentina did, lose. The Argentines who fought at least were not cowards and fools like you and your imaginary 32. Maybe your family is just made up of descendants of ignorant cowardly Nazi's who ran away in 1945.
    1
  37.  @fliegerfaust4261  Unlike you I do not hate, I am not wrong. Britain did beat the Nazi's in the Battle of Britain, in the Mediterranean and in North Africa as well as in the rest of Europe and we did have help but not as much as some morons try to make out. Your fictitious 32 fight no one and certainly do not look for the truth or you might find out all the crimes committed by the Argentine military. Lets consider what really happened, the invasion of British territory which was an act of war. We did take our land back and liberate the innocent civilians who were terrorized by the Argentine military. there was killing on both sides. At war the Belgrano was sunk before it could attack the British ships and it was not out of the war zone which not apply to British or Argentine ships. The war zone was anywhere that British or Argentine ships were, Argentina would have attacked the ships anywhere between the Ascension Islands and the Falklands if they had the means to do so. No one has hidden anything but as the moron you are you look for what never was. Carry on being an ignorant pro Nazi idiot.
    1
  38.  @fliegerfaust4261  You claim not to be a Nazi but you are descended from Nazi's, right little boy. No war crimes when invading and terrorizing innocent civilians, pull the other one, it has bells on. If there are 32 people, well maybe there are 32 out of 44,500,000. There must be a few really stupid people like you. So I was right you are a young boy with little brain who does not know the first thing about investigating anything. Why I am right is because unlike you I have done research from before you were born. I know that nothing you say or do will bring me the slightest problem. Unlike you I never lie and I am calm.

  39.  @fliegerfaust4261  My questions can be answered but not by you because you would have to admit the truth. Who needs to try to contradict the many lies you keep repeating? I can answer your questions. Who lost several ships? Both sides. Who committed war crimes? Argentina, It was a war crime to invade and attack civilians. Who was humiliated by having to attack a very small number very much outnumbered by of heavily armed troops? Argentina. Who lost o a smaller force and had to go back home with their tails between their legs? Argentina. Just two ships by Exocet and only one was a warship. As for the last question, I do know you are no adult, I was an adult well before the Argentine invasion of the Falklands. We did not have the internet back then. I do not need to try to make you and your 32 other patients look very stupid. Must be time for your medication again little boy. When and if they let you out you might just find that Argentina has no claim to the Falklands Islands.

  40.  @fliegerfaust4261  All of my answers are correct. I know a lot of history which is not the lies you are trying to get away with. If I wish to go to the Falklands again, I can. At least I could before the virus and i will be able to again if i want to after the virus. I doubt you can. as for you tube videos maybe that is where you get your stupid lies from. I insult you and I do so as a man, I do not know your fellow inmates at the mental hospital. I am an English man. I do not pretend to be anything different, and it was English men who kicked the Argentine invaders out of the Falklands.

  41.  @fliegerfaust4261  Why should i be resentful? You make no sense at all. Does the truth bother me? No, your lies do not either because they can be seen as the silly lies they are. You and your fellow inmates must have a jolly time looking up the lies you keep repeating. Since we did not lose the war that Argentina started just as we did not lose the Battle of the Atlantic. There are winners and losers, I am happy to be a winner while you are a very poor loser. I wonder if with all your so called investigation you do not know this? "In August 1994, an official Argentine Defence Ministry report written by armed forces auditor Eugenio Miari was released which described the sinking of General Belgrano as "a legal act of war" Or what about this? Captain Bonzo also wrote his memories about the sinking in the book 1093 Tripulantes del Crucero ARA General Belgrano, published in 1992. In this book he wrote that it is "improper to accept that the attack by HMS Conqueror was a betrayal".[ During an interview in 2003 he had stated that General Belgrano was only temporarily sailing to the west at the time of the attack, and his orders were to attack any British ships which came within range of the cruiser's armament. Maybe you can try to deny the facts which you do but I can give the information from both sides to show the truth.

  42.  @fliegerfaust4261  So 32 is 93.6 % of 44.5 million is it? Any people who were no there but get told lies by your government will not have the slightest idea. The sinking of the Belgrano was fully justified and since the Belgrano was ordered to attack any British ships and before being sunk had changed course many times, your lie that the Belgrano was retiring is just stupid lies . How many died is on record and does not alter with any of your pathetic lies. The claims made in Argentina are not even supported by Argentine people who really took part in the illegal invasion of the Falklands Islands or British territory. Little boy stop looking at the internet which is where you get all your very pathetic lies from. Is a history club, a group of ignorant fools like you? You can try to change history but nothing will support your lies.
    1
  43.  @fliegerfaust4261  No I am not changing history, that is exactly what you are trying and failing to do with all your lies. I see the real world view. Not the Idiots view. You could not answer a single question, you could not refute the evidence of the Captain of the Belgrano or the Argentine Defense Ministry. You do not know what lies were told to the Argentine soldiers who believed they were going to liberate Argentine people in the Falklands only to find out there were none.

  44.  @fliegerfaust4261  Since you have done nothing except try to change history This strange Bluish theory, is that why some people believe the colour blue did not exist until recently, which much like your silly theories ignores the truth. Blue did not suddenly appear but it was called by other names like Azure or Cyan. You might live in some weird little world but not everyone is as mad as you and your fellow inmates in the local mental hospital. I can see no other logical reason for you denying the truth. Lucky for you it is not illegal to be mad, no one murders lunatics anymore unlike your Nazi ancestors.

  45.  @fliegerfaust4261  What is a Brit? As for getting angry what are you doing? You really keep on being very ignorant. It is very hard to insult a lunatic like you. I always tell the truth, I leave the lies to you. I do not say you changed history just that you try to change history. Since you fail at that the laugh is on you. What do you say? nothing of any importance at all. I wonder how many people read your nonsense at all, not many people speak Spanish.

  60.  @Linkinfloid  The Me 262 is a museum piece, it was not a good fighter and not the first in service.

  61.  @Linkinfloid  Here is a timeline for you, On the 19 th of April the Me 262 test unit was formed, in July 1944 Walter Nowotny took over and it became a trials and development unit. the first operational missions by the Me 262 being in August 1944. Meanwhile in Britain they had been conducting trials and testing and after some of 616 squadron's leading pilots attended a conversion course at Farnborough the first of their Meteors were delivered on the 12th of July, on the 27th of the Meteor was in action and made the first kill of a V1 on the 4th of August. So in reality there was little time between them but the Luftwaffe were much more desperate to use theirs and of course the RAF already had the Spitfire and Tempest which were more than able to take on Me 262's.

  62. The trouble with the F 35 doing the jobs that several aircraft have done well is that it does none of them well. Slow, poor payload, and even the stealth is not that great. it does not do what an old Tornado can, it does not do what a Typhoon can. it would need a fighter escort just to survive in a hostile environment. Might as well have 2 aircraft that work rather than one that catched fire or does not like to get wet. Biggest waste of money for a long time. What else should we expect from Lockheed.
    1
  63. Mrbob brain. Most problems solved, is that why it has hardly been used and spends so much time in hangars? Has the problem of not liking to get wet been solved? Has the problem of not liking to get hot been solved? Or is it like the F 22 they solved the same problem about 5 or 6 times or at least they claimed to have. The F 35 payload is rater pathetic for a modern aircraft, the Harrier was much earlier and served very well, the F 35 has not served at all.
    1
  64. The F 35 may have flown in the rain but it still requires a lot of maintenance if it gets wet, it even requires a lot of maintenance if it doesn't get wet. Having to keep the weapons bay open defeats any stealth it might have and reduces performance and range. The F 35 fully loaded up is slower and not stealthy at all. Maybe the US just can't fly decent aircraft, the Harriers in British use had low accident rates.
    1
  65. The F 35 flying about once a week between maintenance. pilots report the heat issue is not a problem as long as they keep the doors open until they take off and then it is not a problem as long as it does not get too hot. The F 35 with a small internal payload, 5,700 lbs may be faster than a fully loaded F 16 which can carry 17.000 lbs, that is not much to write home about. The Flop 35 deployed on ships for what? It has done nothing.
    1
  66. The RAAF have said little about the Flop 35. The small internal payload or 5,700 lbs and that is if it does not carry full internal fuel. Any external load means no stealth. The slow f 35 could fight what? a WW I biplane maybe. The F 15 has sort of proved itself and since the US has upgraded the F 15 because of the failure of the F 22 and they still have the F 18 and F 16 in service because the f 35 is not really able to replace them just maybe shows up the F 35 for the failure it is. There have been no conflicts since WW II that warrant anything like the F 22 or F 35. In Syria there is no need for the F 22 or F 35, in Afghanistan there is no need for either. Just a collossal waste of money. The RAAF have no need for such a stupid aircraft and nor does anyone else, politicians unfortunately buy these white elephants. Lockheed has a history of making second rate aircraft and marketing them as do all wonder aircraft when they really do so little badly.
    1
  67. 1200 mph, big deal, that is about as slow as you can get. Mach 1.6 in clean configuration is a joke. We have planes that do mach 2 with a weapons load that makes the Flop 35 look very silly. The F 35 has so far replaced nothing. The US congress cut production of the F 22 because it was an expensive failure. There never will be a conflict for the F 22 or F 35, or at least you better hope there isn't. Not much good having to wait for perfect weather before sending your aircraft to do the job other aircraft could do much better day or night, hot or cold, dry or wet. The price needs to go down to almost nothign to make up for the huge waste the flop 35 is. It does not outperform anything much.
