  1. F-35 is like a computer so when you need it like WW3, its doing updates with a message saying. ( Please don't tune off jet - Loading 2% - approx time 2 hours remaining ). Just don't leave it in plane mode over night.

  3. Jason Osmond The MIg-25 jet it’s true speed is 2171 mph or 3000 km,h that is Mach 2,82

  4.  @daniellastuart3145  I'm sorry, I'm having trouble reading your comment, but I think I got the point of it 👍🏻.

  5. A lot of jet's have Datalinking and able to see miles out just sat on the Runway.

  6.  @misiknuo  Yes you are right and wrong. Yes the F-35 does rely on its stealth to much, and yes the F-35 has the worse specs today. No in that the F-117's Stealth in not the same as F-35's, due to the F-117's stealth being back then and was up against older Radar systems, now the F-35's stealth with new tricks in the RAM coatings and other materials give a better stealthiness to the F-35, plus its having to go up against new radar systems. So yes Stealth is not the best with Radars allways being ahead. And. No the F-35 is not like the F-117 in that it uses different ram coatings and newer materials, but yes it will be short down one day, if it gets in a fight but with still how bad the F-35 is in performance no one wants to be the first country to lose a F-35, so no one will use a F-35 in a fight.

  7.  @infinitelyexplosive4131  You know the F-15's has been beaten by F-16's over the years.

  10. If you mean the F-35B on Queen Elizabeth Class Carriers, you don't need a catapult, it's called Short take off with the Engine's nozzle at around a 45 Dec angle.

  11. Yes and No the F-35 is good but not the best, in area's like Bombing runs yes it's good, but just cause it can see 300+km away doesn't really mean anything, the F-35 longest range at the moment is the 120D about 160km, and air to air missiles have a bad hit rate at distance, so no pilot will use its max range, pilots will wait until about 70-50km for example, for a better chance of a kill, but due to better and more advanced RWS's and then Defences missiles still have a bad chance of a hit, the F-35's Sustained Turn Rate is not the best at about 17 D/S the F-16 for example is about 18 D/S, and its Instantaneous Turn Rate about 26.5 D/S better then the F-16's by about 0.5, but is no where near the Eurofighter's or F-22's Sustained Turn and Instantaneous Turn rates, the speed of the F-35 is slow at 1200mph, yes speed is not the big issue but, having a higher speed means you can get in and out faster, plus the F-35 wouldn't be able to out run any jet, and the F-35 only holds 4 missiles being the B type, and 6 being the A and C types when and if there have a upgraded hard points in them, and as soon as it opens its bay doors the RCS goes up meaning easier to see at a longer distance, 4 F-35's may sound good flying around and hard to sneak up on them, but they will have to still get closer then you think, again to have a chance of a kill on the enemy jet's, remember enemy jet's have RWS's and Defences as well so it's not just a case of 300km fire get a kill, the F-35 only has a 50,000f ceiling as well, meaning it won't be able to out climb other jet's, in real life a fight is not always 70+km away amd Dogfighting is not 20feet between, a dogfight is WVR about 30km, and as soon as 1 or 2 enemy's jet's get close about 50-60km the F-35 is in trouble, Stealth won't work and yes the F-35 has Defences as well, but in a WVR fight guns can be used for example and it only needs 1 shot in the right place to take out a muilt million pound jet, the F-35A is the Only type with a inbuilt single 25mm gun but it still has trouble shooting straight, the B and C types need a Gun Pod a single 25mm but with more rounds. So the F-35 is great for electrical warfare, and at 100+km away, but as soon as the enemy gets in about 70km, main Radars may only see the F-35 at about 50-60km but IRST Systems will see it 70+km away, and some jet's can use there IRST's with their Main Radar to help give there BVRM's a longer range on a stealth jet for a lock on, but again missiles have a bad hit rate at distance, so both sides are still having to get closer for a better chance for a kill. The F-35 is good, but could be better. The F-22 is old and outdated and just not good, jets like the Eurofighter and SU-57 are much better then the F-22 and F-35 in 95% of areas. So the best jet is the Eurofighter.

  12. Yes and no, for example pilots love the F-16 and Gripin both are single engines, but yes if the engine fails then yes you are let's say fucked, but remember the F-16 and Gripin are both lighter faster and more agile then some twin engine jet's, the F-35 is yes under powered and heavy for just 1 engine, about 40,000ibf for all engine, but the B version when taking off in VTOL mode makes around 40,500ibf, but anyway yes and no a single engine design is bad and good at the same time, but in the F-35's case bad for many reasons.

  17. Wrong no jet can take off fully loaded with weapons and fuel even with a catapult system, the F-35B can hold a good wight of weapons and fuel when going off the Ramp, in some cases you can take off with more using a ramp then you can with a catapult.
    1
  18.  @daniellastuart3145  Right that is why the US has spent millions on electronic catapults so do less damage on the air frames of these jets, but all that money could have been spent somewhere better, but the Ramps are still better cause then the electronic ones still do damage, as well as needing to have to make a 3rd F-35 the C version basically just for older and somewhat outdated carriers to use the F-35's.

  19. It's funny the Yak-41 had better specs then the F-35.

  20.  @peterson7082  Yes it does.
    1
  21.  @peterson7082  The Yak-41 had a better turn rate then the F-35B and the rang was better not by much but better the Yak-41 had some Thrust vectoring where the F-35B very very little the F-35 A B and C is basically just a updated version of the Harrier and Yak-41.
    1
  22.  @peterson7082  1st The F-35 A B C all have bad turn rates for Sustained Turn is 11D/S. 2nd The F-35 is just a upgrade of those jets. 3rd With the F-35 it is just 1 jet that they tried to make 3 types of instead of just making 3 types of different jets they tried to cheat by designing 1 and it is just a redesign.

  24.  Sultan of Sieg  Wrong the F-22 is old and outdated, and the F-35 is bad all around, the best jets look at European and Russian.

  26. So wrong the F-22 does not win every air to air fight 1st The F-35 and F-22 have not gone against each other yet to see, 2nd Many jet's have beaten the F-22 in air to air fights over the years, 3rd The Eurofighter is more advanced capable and better all round then the F-22.

  27. Kid you stupid or stupid, the UK is leading the world in military tech software and hardware as well in training, the UK has and has proven to win wars on our own, the US has never won a war on there own, and always needs the UK's help in wars, the UK's Military Empire was and still is bigger then the US Military plus the British Empire is still bigger than the US.

  28. No.

  29. Both the F-35 and F-22 are not the best. 1st The F-35 is shit with the worst specs today, plus people that say its a sniper and that the enemy will never see you coming, are talking out there asses. 2nd The F-22 is old and outdated, it can't do helf the stuff that other jet can do for example.

  30.  @infinitelyexplosive4131  It's just doing bombing runs like most jet's, if it was good then it would have been doing more in the middle east like helping F-16's in fights.

  31.  @jeff-gl1yx  The US only has about 75-80 F-22's in combat ready state.
    1
  32.  @jeanbambois7970  You wrong in some of what you say. Yes the F-117 is and was a stealth jet, but remember the radars back then aren't as good as they are now, so a F-117 now would get seen from a S-400 from miles away for example. 2nd Stealth does not make you invisible, it only gets you closer to a target, but only against some types of Radars, a IRST system on a Eurofighter will see a F-22 or F-35 from 70+km away, witch is further then any main Radar on jets today, plus long band Radars can see a F-35 from quite a long way away, for example a JY-27 tracked a F-22 not that long ago from a very long distance more then the F-22 pilot thought it could. 3rd When you see battle proven what do you mean, like bombing runs like most jet's, or in a real fight cause A stealth won't really help due to other Systems on enemy jets to find and track stealth jets, and B the fact at in a fight jet's need to get closer then you think for missiles to have a better chance of a hit due to missiles having a bad hit rate at distance. 4th The F-22 F-35 SU-57 J-20 are all 5th gen jet's, but not one has ever been in combat, again only bombing runs like most jet's. 5th Yes battle proven is the best way to test a vehicle out, you cant just do things like red flag games cause games aren't realistic and don't work like real fights do.

  33. Wrong the F-35 did lose to a F-16, and there are reports and papers that all say so.

  36. The F-22 is old and outdated, nothing is really high tech on the F-22, the APG-77 maybe powerful but not A The most powerfule and B not the most advanced, plus it only has that one radar does not have for example IRST, plus it can't use a Helmet to lock and fire meaning needing to line the enemy up with the Radar facing the enemy getting closer and closer, as well as using older 120C's and only some use 120D's.

  39. 1st you are right and wrong in what you say. 2nd The F-22 is ( Faster - More Agile - Better Stealth ), but Weapons are the same the 120D and 9X, the F-35 will soon get the much better Meteor and ASRAAM. 3rd Both are not as good as the Eurofighter.

  42. Not even close there Kid. The Sidewinder is yes a good IR Missile but the Queen Elizabeth Class is the most advanced aircraft carrier in the world, plus it has type 45's and type 31-26's Frigates with her, so taking out a sidewinder is a easy as shit.

  43. You mean just like kids say the F-22 is the best, when it also hasn't seen real combat, just bombing runs like most jet's.
    1
  44. The UK and US are yes the 2 most deadliest country's in NETO but the UK is more deadly then the US, for example the UK over history and still today leading the world in military tech software and hardware as well as training, we have many wars on our own and still can, the US has never won a war on there own, the EU Force is yes a good idea but country's like Germany need to get there military right.

  45. Kid over 50% of the F-22's are in long term storage, cause the US can't afford to run all in combat ready states.

O OK it has impressive missile range OK, so does the F-35 do anything to the 120D while it's in the bay to help, or not, cause the 120D has a range of about 160km but Missiles have a bad hit rate at distance due to MTT slowing down losing energy lowing a chance to hit and RWS's and Defences needing to get past with is very hard do to, and no pilot will use its max range due to not hitting anything, and wait until about 70-50km to fire.

  50. Hi love your videos, just wanted your opinion on the F-35, in spec talk the F-35 is shit and just relying on stealth is a very bad thing. But what do you say on it ?. Specs and facts of the jet are below if you want to read them or you can look in to it yourself. The F-35 is a UK US designd and built jet but its not good. The F-35 has the worse specs on the planet for a jet today. Speed / 1200mph Mach 1.56. Hight / 50,000f. Sustained Turn / 11 D/S. Instantaneous Turn / 26.5 D/S. Hard Points / 4 in stealth. Hard Points / 8 to 10 in beast. But in Beast mode the F-35 with external Missiles will slow it down more with drag going from its slow 1200mph to about 1000mph and worsen it's already bad turn rates with the extra weight going from 11 S/D Sustained to under 9 D/S and its Instantaneous from 26.5 D/S to about 22-23 D/S and its AOA worsening as well. Range / A - C 1200 miles B 1000 miles and just internl fuel combat radius of 450NM. Engine / Single non Thrust Vectoring 40,000ibf. Stealth / Is shit in a real fight Radars are ahead. 6 F-35's has been seen by the S-400 Air Defence System. In a real fight it is not in a closed off Airspace and you don't know how many enemy jets there are, and to kill a enemy you just have to lock on to them there's no missile travel Time so the enemy can't use its defences like Jammers - DRS - flares - Tows, its just locked on you win so the F-35's 20-1 kil rate IS BS. BVR Missiles are not as good as people think it is, with BVR Missiles they have a bad hit rate at distance and the more distance between you and the enemy does not make any difference with RWS and what with DRS / Flares / Toes / Agility e.g to dodge them the BVR Missile has a big weak spot its rang and the F-35 only holds 4 in stealth mode and there not even the Best BVR Missile the British European Meteor missile ever. So the first shot first kill meaning is out the window with the F-35. Even if the enemy does jot know where the F-35 is as soon as he locked on to the enemy jet it will 1st know your in a certain distance area and 2nd as soon as the F-35 fires the enemy will know in what direction your in and cause the F-35 is slower then all other jets except the F/A-18 and can only go to a hight of 50,000f Radars are ahead of stealth anyway and the enemy jet will soon have you in its radar and down goes the F-35. Gun / Only the A has a inbuilt gun a Single 25mm with 182 rounds. B and C need a gun pod a Single 25mm with 220 rounds but takes up 1 hard point lowering it's missile count. The Agility of the F-35 is shit, so it might have a good AOA but what good is that if it has the worst turn rate of all jets today in a real fight doing fantasy tricks is the last thing in or mind, the F-35 has a big turning circle with a Sustained Turn of 11 D/S it loses speed fast and even its Instantaneous pitch up is slower then most at 26.5 D/S. The F-35 is shit and Countrys now are seeing that the UK US and Japan are pushing 6th gen jets and more in to upgrading older jets and BAE System's are making the F-3 for Japan to replace some of the F-35's to lower the orders for Japan. With Air - Air missiles have a bad hit rate at distance, and with Radar Worning Systems - Jammers - DRS and Flares pulse jet like the Eurofighter Rafale and Gripin Agility to have a better chance to dodge missiles. Would have been better off putting Ram on the Tornado or Jaguar better specs in some areas and cheaper to run. The F-35 does NOT use yet the Best BVR Missile in the world The British European Meteor missile. Jets that would easily kill the F-35 are : Eurofighter - Rafale - Gripin - F-16 - F-22 - SU-27 - SU-30/34/35 - SU-57 J-20 - F-15 - F/A-18 - MIG-35 - Tornado - F-4. All of these jets have in some and in all better specs then the F-35. The ONLY thing not killing the F-35 off completely is that people have put billions in on it. But most dumb kids don't take time to read facts they just see it has stealth and thinks it's the best ( Its NOT ).
