There is a reason Ross took me seriously and you for a joke.

Just Sayin.

F-35s have been supplying very good ISR on this conflict. Being able to open a 50 mile AESA aperture is ground breaking, pun intended.

Not going to do that with the Radar Cross Section (RCS) of a 747.

The 2 engined Tomcat has a much worse safety record than the F-35.

It's fun to correct old cogers who can't keep up with current millitary aviation.

Obviously I know quite a bit more than you concerning the F-35.

The F-35 has a much better safety record than the Tomcat. That's simply a fact.

The F-35 excels at the merge because it can employ weapons 360 degrees and can PID at much longer range than anything else.

The world of mil aviation has gone well beyond your limited experience.

Will Munny: It's a hell of a thing, killing a man. Take away all he's got and all he's ever gonna have.

The F-14 was a plane before I was born.

Do you think it is better than a F-35?

Burns has got to be joking, he can’t be this stupid can he?

Oh yes he can. He just spends some time on google and parrots a lot of bullshit and half truths. For example, comparing the safety record of an aircraft that served for over 25 years(Tomcat and the F-16) to a relatively new one (35) is absurd. He avoids the central issue that a single engine aircraft (35)is at a disadvantage over a twin engine (F-14) one over water for reasons that are so obvious to a moron (thus Burns) SHOULD capture and the issue of the F-35s superb weapons system with (on paper 360 engagement envelope which is has), but eventually, you get to the "merge" and in that regard the 35 is a DOG.

Overwight (hint) and underpowered. There are a lot more issues with the 35 that are carrier specific issues to list here, but why bother? listen to Burns, he "knows" his stuff!. And for the record, one does not need to have actually FLOWN a particular airframe to discuss it intelligently (thus leaving Burns and other out) . And no I wasn't a Fighter guy, just a lowly Viking driver, but I was a Top Gun graduate, fought and flew in a lot of different platforms and I am well versed in the 35, the biggest over budgeted boondoggle in aviation history. But again, listen to a guy whose experience is limited to Google and a couple of years as a gas station attendant in the Air Force. I only spent 30 years in the Navy with over five thousand hours and combat tours in several theaters.

The F-35

One of the biggest boondoggles in the US DoD budget—and the focus of this article—is the F-35, the most expensive weapons system in history. And of course, the costs continue to go up, according to a recent DoD report. The Pentagon first put out the project for bids in 1996, and the first F-35s were manufactured and flown in 2006. However, it wasn’t until 2018 that they saw combat for the first time when Israel deployed them. Since then, the USMC, USAF, and RAF have used them in combat only rarely. For a plane that is supposed to be sufficiently versatile and modular to replace virtually all other combat aircraft, the F-35 has been used very little.

The F-35 program will cost about $1.5 trillion, or approximately what the US government spent on the entire Iraq war.
Perhaps you’re wondering if this is a typical timeframe for a high-tech military project. Well, in 2001, the DoD expected to have its first combat-capable F-35s in 2010. That did not happen—not by a long shot. At least as late as 2013, these fifth-generation fighter jets could not fly in bad weather or at night. Despite all this, the F-35 program will cost about $1.5 trillion, or approximately what the US government spent on the entire Iraq war.

Last year, Defense News identified 13 significant deficiencies in one or more F-35 models, including the possibility of a blown tire destroying the entire aircraft, inadequate vision and sensor systems, and not being to fly too high, too fast, or in certain maneuvers without either apparent or actual major problems. Other issues included logistical and security concerns. Many of these have solutions in progress, although several additional issues with the weapons systems have been identified since then.

IT has EXCELLENT BVR capabilities, hence my comment (and it's not mine, but from a well documented analysis of the 35) on the 747. Basically put the 35 sensors on a 747 and in a BVR scenario, it's damned good. I will say the 35 IS a tad better than a 747 in the merge though smile

I'm not qualified to make an informed judgment on that. I do think the F-35 program has been a big boondoggle financially.

Nothing flying but the F-22 has a chance with it at the merge or in any aspect.

FACT.

While the F-35 has even better HOA than the SuperBug it does not need to turn to employ missles.

F-35 can target everything 360 degrees. The adversary is no safer on it's six than right off the nose.

You're simply well beyond your understanding about modern aircraft and systems.

They should just scrap the F-35 right now and move to the next thing. In today’s age there is absolutely no reason to have an airframe that is a compromise in so many ways.

Take the sensors suite and electronics package of the F-35 and build airframes that do what you want. Make them modular and plug and play. The airframe is the cheap part of the package. Just add some more or less standardized software and go.

You could have a 4.5 generation non-stealthy bomb truck with F-35 sensors. You could have a stealthy tubby strike airframe with F-35 sensors. You could have a stealthy dedicated air superiority airframe with the sensors. You could have a high and very fast interceptor version with the sensors.

Standardize on the software as much as you can instead of the airframe. Airframes are relatively easy. We’ve got 75 years of building jets and we’ve reached the point where the limits of what can be done are more about the human body than technology. The engineering behind building an airframe that will do anything we want it to do isn’t too hard. But the air frame isn’t what makes the F-35 special. So why take the “special” part and force it into an inferior airframe designed to do ten different roles instead of being the best at one or two.

So, the B-21?

FACT.

Show me the V/N diagrams on the 35 (Hint: they are classified so I know you haven't seen them. Hint #2 I have) and then maybe we can discuss. Hint# 3 there are QUITE A FEW Fourth Generation fighters with superior V?N diagrams to the 35. Both the F-16 and the 15 FAR out climb the the 35.... Choke on it gas passer.

The notion that the Russians are back to their Soviet WWII tactics of "human wave" attack is even more ludicrous and another example of establishment media propaganda. Their tactics are based mostly on ISR which is basically locate and identify the enemy and smash him with stand off weaponry. If human wave tactics are being employed it's by the Ukrainians.

Do you think the Russians are going to pull out all stops, use every weapon and tactic they have in Ukraine, when the specter of a NATO incursion is obviously a major consideration for them? Their stockpiles are there for a possible future conflict with NATO, That's called contingency planning.

MAGA!

TreeMutt,

Did you watch the video starting at 55 seconds where the Russian propogandist actually talked about pulling T-34's off war monuments and sending many thousands of them to Ukraine? If not watch the video, it's quite humorous of the current propaganda war. If the absurdity of this went over your head, there's a thread on good single malt whiskey's that might help.

MOS?, None but I been in my share of bar fights with military guys and I was not impressed.

Some play the "what military" thing over and over, ad nauseam, like a libtard plays the race card when they are at a loss and losing an argument.

What makes you think all military experts were in the military?

MAGA!

Ok.

That's not what I stated. I said I think the F-35 program was a big boondoggle financially. That is not a comment about the actual aircraft.
