IFEZ... better wash yr mouth out.!!
No negative comments re the F 35 and 17 +billion $s allowed in Cantberra or elsewhere, please
See the articles in the Oz last week. Its better than sliced bread and will do the deadly trick when required...at range. Just hope those engines are really, really reliable !!
Propaganda or not, the same week the Chinese announced that they had mastered 'quantum radar' that can detect stealth aircraft from 100 miles out.
You can bet yr bottom dollar that everybody 'in opposition' has been working on all sorts of schmicky countermeasures during the F35s long gestation.
Read an article someplace where 35s took on a bunch of F16s...cleaned up most at long range...but got done in the close in dog fight.!
I'd like a PAK T 50 myself. 2 donks, supercruise, very long range, lots of weapons.
Have confidence in the RAAF who made the F 111 a successful and long lasting weapon.
Same with the F 35. ?
Hopefully !!
