And you know the answer to that question? I don't. On paper and video F-35 looks like an inferior plane. Single-engine design is less reliable in combat that a double-engine. Su-35S is more agile...

I may be wrong but I always thought that those "stunts" are the missile evasion maneuvers. Correct me if I'm wrong. The missile can't maneuver fast enough to catch such a target.


Two things that...

Oh, let's not get there. You didn't give any factual basis for anything you said, so let's keep it civil.

So to summarize, F-35 is not "stealth" for the foreign buyers with some saying it's worse than the 40-year-old F-16. Most of its advertized features, like the helmet vision toys, don't work. AND it...

And here's where my favorite point arrives. Who the heck needs F-35 at all? Washington?

F-35 per se started in 2000. But it can easily be traced to a Joint Strike Fighter program which started in...

If the past 16 years of wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Egypt, and Yemen are any indication, I don't think it's an assumption. And it's no longer about wanting to go to war. I just don't...

As I started to read this sentence I had a sinking feeling in my stomach expecting you to shoot down my argument too easily. I honestly expected to see "Greece" at the end of this sentence. But...

Erdogan didn't come from nowhere. Turkey or rather the Ottoman Empire was a powerful state in the Middle East. They fought twelve wars with Russia alone (6-3 to Russia with three ties). They crushed...

Just thinking out loud. (Sorry for the political angle.) Pentagon is the party most dependent on Turkey to produce the F-35 components. But it's also the Pentagon that pushes the block on S-400. It...
