I think having enough cruise missiles on hand to saturate a modern IADS is more expensive than you think. Regardless, even with LO aircraft, the future will still include cruise missiles. It's not...

I don't agree with your assessment, but what makes you think the cruise missiles will fair any better?

I fail to see why you think 2 AWACs would somehow close the airspace over Korea. If that...

I'd rather use two cruise missiles and stay hidden. I think the future will definitely be in ucavs of some sort. I just think it's further in the future than some think. The control link is still...

LO, I don't think the lifting fan has as much of an impact on the non-B variants as you seem to imply. It certainly affects the B however. I think it has more to do with the requirement to...

Radix, snarky much? Cheers! Of course the answer is that it isn't doing much of **** yet. The five years of "progress hiatus" is more than a bit depressing.

LO, Foreplay doesn't really cover...

Fair enough, the F-35 is not an F-22. The F-35 is very similar to the F-16 when both are loaded for similar range and payload. The nature of LO means you have to carry everything internal, so your...

Basil, That's come up else where before. The short is that Spanky was commenting based on limited information and he admitted as much later. There is no doubt the F-35 is not the F-22 when it...

John Farley, thanks for another perspective on the doom and gloom about the F-35. I hadn't really thought about it in that light. Glass half full vs half empty I guess.

Based on talking to a...

Gents the question you need to ask yourselves: are you interested in being a partner in western force projection to counter modern anti-air systems in support of coalition operations? If the answer...

According to Wiki it's in the Ku band. I imagine F-35 will be running Link-16 in passive most of the time, so at least they'll be able to receive info from the supporting heavies. Barring jamming,...

Odd, at least in the T700 engine there's an ablative (probably not the correct term) seal on the gas generator turbine that allows the turbine blades to creep. I figured that was some type of...

RR, it's great power politics not a question of who's more at fault. Or in simple terms, who's the biggest kid on the playground? I don't really want to fight him, but I need to have a plan in...
