So what does the F-35 have, airframe wise, that a Buccaneer hasn't?
You answered already....Stealth!
I'd counter that 'stealth', ie reduced RCS is over rated.
It's like any other measure......soon cometh the counter-measure, and our much wanted and valued 'measure' becomes another expensive overhead.
What Ken V said is correct. Its not Lockheeds fault, or Pratts.
But that does not mean things are ok.
The F-35 is a clunker. Its the A-12 that slipped through the net. At least the Navy had the balls to pull it.
Stealth? Yeah, but so......eventually with LW radar, its worthless.
Clever EW? Yeah, but it could have gone in a pod
Lack of wing? Talk your way out of that one.
Watch my tracer.
