This rumour has been in place for some time before even the F-35 was released to the public but it is hard to believe that since Israel is using them with great success
well...who is it using it against? syria? locked in unarmed Palestinians? c'mon man...also let's not forget the "bird hit" incident for the isreali f35 from 2017 that strangely happened right after the isreali f35 carried out an air raid in Syria. funny how they never released pictures of the "bird hit"...guess the bird they were referring to was the archaic s200 from the 60s...imagine the result against 21st century sam.This rumour has been in place for some time before even the F-35 was released to the public but it is hard to believe that since Israel is using them with great success
You have already been answered. Infact, you deliberately are dismissive of the answer ans only on verbal loghorrea repeating the same claims ad nauseum.that's a big negative, I have ZERO tolerance for know-nothing experts who buy into the corporate horse manure that is fed to them by the military establishment that is in kahuts with the military industrial complex and try to brush aside perfectly valid questions by labelling them as views of a layman...you do not get away this easy. I look forward to read your answer to my question:
everything mentioned above can al be achieved by utilizing existing aircrafts, satellites and drones for fraction of the cost of a single f35. if this is not ripping the life out of the american tax payer then what is?
Qanon fake news.well...who is it using it against? syria? locked in unarmed Palestinians? c'mon man...also let's not forget the "bird hit" incident for the isreali f35 from 2017 that strangely happened right after the isreali f35 carried out an air raid in Syria. funny how they never released pictures of the "bird hit"...guess the bird they were referring to was the archaic s200 from the 60s...imagine the result against 21st century sam.
Why is the official 'bird strike' claim implausible? While you believe a 1/2 ton S200 warhead left enough of the aircraft undamaged for it to safely RTB and undergo repairs and be returned to service in a few weeks.well...who is it using it against? syria? locked in unarmed Palestinians? c'mon man...also let's not forget the "bird hit" incident for the isreali f35 from 2017 that strangely happened right after the isreali f35 carried out an air raid in Syria. funny how they never released pictures of the "bird hit"...guess the bird they were referring to was the archaic s200 from the 60s...imagine the result against 21st century sam.
Space lasers!! Greys - the F-35 is a grey conspiracy.Why is the official 'bird strike' claim implausible? While you believe a 1/2 ton S200 warhead left enough of the aircraft undamaged for it to safely RTB and undergo repairs and be returned to service in a few weeks.
For some perspective, a 200 kg detonation is enough to destroy a main battle tank but a direct hit from a 500 kg warhead travelling at Mach 5 left the F-35 relatively unharmed. C'mon you are grasping at straws.
entirely possible that the warhead did not detonate properly as it should've owing the poor maintenance of equipment by the Syrian military. there incompetence is well known.Why is the official 'bird strike' claim implausible?

Superpowers like to be cautious. Same can be said about Russia and China.......that is the single greatest mistake america has been making...read me carefully and then repeat after me:
NO
ONE
WANTS
TO
ATTACK
US!
then tell yourself repeatedly:
NO
ONE
HATES
US.
then say:
THE
WORLD
HAS
BETTER
THINGS
TO
DO!
GOSH man...enough of this "everyone wants to attack us" mindset!!!![]()
You just have to open the eyes to see it is a failure.David Axe is a F-35 hater in my opinion like our very own @BON PLAN aka @Dac O Dac
Maybe....Vs a F-16 - a ratio of 1/30 at the least in detection range vs Air to air & air to ground radar.
Who is we?For America it is not too expensive for the mission of engaging near peers. A good 4.5 gen would allow for fighting forces much weaker then the USAF at a much cheaper cost. For God sake we are pulling in hundreds of billions from taxes but fools are wasting it on gender studies in Pakistan.
You are 'assuming' that Syrian A2/AD assets are poorly maintained and incompetent.entirely possible that the warhead did not detonate properly as it should've owing the poor maintenance of equipment by the Syrian military. there incompetence is well known.
This is rubbish as well. FYI: https://sofrep.com/fightersweep/f-35-v-f-16-article-garbage/You just have to open the eyes to see it is a failure.
Maybe....
But, we all knew that a F16 with two external tanks smashed a F35 in term of agility.
Well I guess Turkey getting sanctioned by america for buying S400s was a blessing in disguise. Turkey really ought to move completely away from NATO & America.
F-35 hater or not, what Dav is saying implies that Pakistan is right on JF-17 program, it's cost and where it stands on the technology curve. Some people made fun of the JF-17 program for it being a low-end fighter and not being equal to Rafale or Block-72 etc, but what our program has actually achieved is what the USA was hoping to achieve with their F-35 program... i.e. to replace their ageing fleet with a new work-horse that is inducted in larger numbers and is flown "every day to work". Guess what! We have not just met that requirement, but now with satisfaction we are making it a medium to high-end fither in our inventory.David Axe is a F-35 hater in my opinion like our very own @BON PLAN aka @Dac O Dac
This is also propaganda for the gullible.
