If you want to play with the professionals in the Pacific range and speed are all that count.
No, that is exactly what I meant before… ok, so the army does not envy the Air Force, but actually the marines….. yes they have speed: JSF, Osprey, but I bet they also still want Yankee hueys and Cobras at treetop level together with their troops on ground when hitting the coastline…. I simply cannot see how a defiant or valor could take that role with the same efficiency…. They could co-exist, like the osprey amd the Y-hueys… but completely replacing them???
