BTW, in case anyone here doesn't know what a Viking is.



The video's description on YouTube:

"The Lockheed S-3 Viking was a jet aircraft used by the United States Navy to identify, track, and destroy enemy submarines. In the late 1990s, the S-3B's mission focus shifted to surface warfare and aerial refueling. The Viking also provided electronic warfare and surface surveillance capabilities to the carrier battle group.

A carrier-based, subsonic, all-weather, multi-mission aircraft with long range, it carried automated weapon systems, and was capable of extended missions with in-flight refueling. Because of the engines high-pitched sound, it was nicknamed the "Hoover" after the brand of vacuum cleaner. The US Navy retired the S-3 Viking in January 2009, with its missions being assumed by other platforms."

Cheers, jorge! Bob F.

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.

Jeez Loueez

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


Tell us about how incapable the F-35s are...

Please, be specific.

I don’t know anything about the 35’s capability but clearly Jorge does. It was Burns battle of wits with Jorge I was referring to.

I'm in favor of the Russians sending their soldiers to war in T-34/85s, T-54/55s, and T-62s for all of the obvious reasons.

Damn you're a silly old man.

All 3 F-35 have met IOC years ago.

And the F-22 still does not have IRST across the fleet.

F-22 loath to emit any signals.

I do know the AF is actively working the issue of comms across all platforms.

F-35s are networked together over the MADL making a huge sensor platform with a fused view of the battlespace.

F-35 can talk to Aegis Baseline 9 in MADL. F-35 can guide SM-6s from Aegis destroyers and cruisers to intercepts.

Maybe so, but you are plain stupid. OF COURSE the 35 was IOC years ago, otherwise it would not be deployed with the services you moron. My point, which your alcoholic/cough syrup addled brain failed to capture was the 35 DID NOT MEET OPEVAL requirements (just like for example the Hornet failed OPEVAL yet we deployed it anyway) and it still has a crapload of critical failures. Man you are truly an idiot.

So we agree you didn't understand that the F-35 met IOC years ago but you still used those words in your post and now want to use different words.

Man, you are a f ucking moon. IOC and OPEVAL are two different issues. The Hornet failed OPEVAL yet it still IOC'd. two different issues. The 35 still has literally dozens of critical failure issues. Stick to what you know as obviously it isn't this

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


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

Well the record is pretty clear on your posts.

Maybe we can move on and you can tell the class the "literally dozens of critical failure issues" of the Block 3 F-35s.

A numbered list instead of bullets point would help everyone out.

I have mocked and been mocked by many combat vets.

They don't try and hide behind the staus and can discuss and bust balls without needing special care.

Funny your first thought is for OLD George to play the Vet card to keep him safe on the internet.

What Bristoe hears in his head is never what the author or poster typed.

He uses the "Bristoe Filter" to make sure it confirms his bias.

But it is funny to watch in a sad funny way.
