MOSCOW, June 28. /TASS/. A UK Navy F-35 fighter is making a flight over the Russian naval taskforce engaged in maneuvers in the Mediterranean Sea, according to a video uploaded by Russia’s Defense Ministry on Monday.

The video shows an F-35B fighter jet with the short take-off and vertical landing capability, which the UK is purchasing.

Overall, the UK operates about 138 aircraft of this type, including the fighters based on the carrier Queen Elizabeth currently staying in Mediterranean waters, according to available data.

The F-35 Lightning II is a family of the fifth-generation one-seat, single-engine all-weather stealth multirole fighters. Their basic armaments include a 25 mm four-barrel air gun, missiles and air bombs on four internal and six external hardpoints. The fighter is capable of carrying nuclear weapons.

The Russian Navy kicked off drills in the eastern Mediterranean on June 25. The drills involve five warships, including the missile cruiser Moskva, the frigates Admiral Essen and Admiral Makarov and the submarines Stary Oskol and Rostov-on-Don. Also, Tu-142MK and Il-38 anti-submarine warfare aircraft, Tu-22M3 long-range bombers and MiG-31K fighters are engaged in the maneuvers that are aimed at ensuring security of Russia’s Hmeymim airbase and the Russian Navy’s Tartus naval facility in Syria.

Are you drunk or something what the hell does ISIS and the black sea have to do with each other how are you even pulling this shit off..

Also where do they fit into the picture when Britain is claiming we are watching Russia

Al Malaki also referred to the US futile attempts to maintain its military presence in Iraq under disguise and on the pretext of fighting ISIL just when the Iraqis were entering the reconstruction era of their country, and said the main objective of the new plot is intriguing a wide-scale dispute between the Shiite and Sunni Muslims in the region.

“The Americans began this sedition in Syria and then expanded its dimensions into Iraq and it seems that they intend to further stretch this problem to other countries in their future plans,” he warned.

Both the then Prime Minister of Iraq - Al Malaki, and the President of Afghanistan Karzai have asserted that Washington not only promoted isis to to destabilize the region, Washington invented isis to maintain military presence. isis was part of the cia project to fund every fanatic person to fight Assad in Syria, the policy was spread around the Islamic world that resulted in even more deaths by cia plans.

The same thing happened with the us funded Taliban in the 1980s and 1990s. After getting backing from supa powa Washington... the Taliban figured out - the fighters that took part in the Soviet Union's collapse were unimportant to Washington. Only useful in being used and once no longer any use, discarded.

usa invents these terror groups for certain cia ends, hurting regional interests. And any sane person finding out about this, figures out Washington never cared about the Islamic world. Simply using and arming different groups against each other to attempt to demonize the whole Islam community equating it with terrorism and trying to have the Islam world in a state of destruction.

The cia did the same thing in Xinjiang and it took China decades to make Xinjiang safe again from cia terrorism.

Here is why China had to de-indoctrinate so many:

cia was and is spreading isis-like terrorism to China. And China chose not to bomb out Xinjiang like Iraq and Libya and Syria were bombed out and destroyed. China chose a jobs and opportunity to combat cia terrorism.

The Brits along with their American brothers couldn't defeat the Taliban for 20 years in Afghanistan. The Russians will walk over the Brits. Absolutely annihilate them.

Your British brothers got no chance. These fancy toys will be taken out of the sky like flies.

You may not like UK but it is important to have realistic views.

Hitler felt that UK was easy picking after Battle of France but the outcome of Battle of Britain is self-explanatory.

Russia cannot afford to invade UK either. UK is not Afghanistan in true sense of the word.

How come Taliban is benchmark of conventional warfare? Whenever NATO came after Taliban in a particular region, Taliban could melt away in surroundings. NATO could not control Afghanistan because it is a landlocked country and Afghans are known to be unreliable. Just look at ANA - it is a joke with no real capacity and nationalistic zeal for war. No wonder NATO abandoned Afghans to their fate. You cannot transform cats into lions (both have distinct DNA compositions).

War between Russia and UK would be of entirely different character and both are nuclear powers to boot.

As for F-35 dropping like flies, what kind of world you live in? Name one jet fighter in Russian inventory which can stand up to F-35 in aerial clashes. This is defense forum where people need to talk sense about hardware and possibilities.

Sorry, bro. This post of yours was terrible.

LOL Like I said. F-35 isn't going to win you a war. It may give you some tactical advantage. Russia too has 5th gen fighters. F-35 is just a dot in the bigger picture. Russia has excellent weapons at its disposal.

Let's get real here. Russia will trounce Britain when push comes to shove. This is not even a discussion.

My post is spot on. Russia vs Britain is not a contest. It is a one-sided affair where Russia will dominate without breaking a sweat.

What exactly constitute Victory and Defeat in a war? There is no Black and White answer.

If Russia invades UK and gets its teeth knocked-in, this would be Victory of UK.

Russia is not in the position to invade UK or wipe out British Navy with conventional military options at its disposal. F-35 is there to facilitate British conventional military muscle and make conventional military exchanges very costly for Russians (or any country) seeking to attack British assets. Every weapon system have its role and purpose in warfare. F-35 can make it possible for the British Air Force to defeat Russian Air Force in battles. This is what they are supposed to do.

How the entire war pans out, depends on numerous variables and calculations involved. There isn't a singular wonder weapon in existence.

However, it is important to see things in proper context. This is all.

The future of air conflict is decided by EW and ECM.

F-22 Raptors May Not be Able to Overcome Russia's Su-35 After All; Severe Shortcomings America's Most Advanced Fighter Emerge During Operations in Syria

Stealth for fighters is great when you are on the defense or in neutral areas. Ground radars can expose you. Stealth at its weakness forces a close dogfight. At strength, stealth wins the battle.

Russians were reported to have as well developed EW capabilities as the usa. That was Soviet era. 1990s. Have no clue who has the advantage now. If the Russians continued their R&D for EW and ECM, then the Russians kept up with the usa. If Bush ordered Russia to abandon this R&D, then us is in the lead.

European meteor missile claims to be EW proof at medium range, which is a no escape zone. No matter what you do, the missile will destroy the fighter. So then stealth has the advantage. I have my doubts. Europe is not privy to either Russian or usa full EW and ECM weaponry.

Both EW and stealth force close in combat, which is why I question the Chinese for failing to put an autocanon on their J-20s. Simply because we are in a technological age does not mean old ways are a failure. Low tech does not become useless in a high tech war. Sometimes even necessary. Now if you swap an autocanon with a laser blaster, then you upgraded the weapon. Ditching a close-in weapon entirely is unwise.

F-22 Raptors May Not be Able to Overcome Russia's Su-35 After All; Severe Shortcomings America's Most Advanced Fighter Emerge During Operations in Syria

Even a crude comparison of the core architecture of both aircraft will give you the impression of a generational gap between them.

Do you know that AN/APG-77v1 and AN/ALR-94 are electronically fused in F-22A? Both of these sensor systems are beyond anything in Su-35 to begin with.

F-22A Raptor did very well in Syria as per authentic declassified information and pilot testimonials.

So sharpen your searching skills and try to draw comparisons on technical grounds instead of buying rhetoric.

 

[zectech]

Despite the sophistication of the Raptor, reports of operations over Syria indicate that Russian Flankers have managed to overcome its superior sensors and stealth capabilities - evading detection by the F-22 using their advanced electronic warfare systems and themselves detecting the American stealth jets.

One of the most important aspect of the Gripen E/F’s EW system is that the fighters use networked sensors, both onboard and from other platforms. This gives the pilot an ability to silently geolocate threats, and be the first one to react. The networked sensors help the Gripen pilot handle the most advanced threats including Su-57 and S-400. Overall, Gripen’s EW suite has the capabilities to operate in the most hostile environments while ensuring high survivability.

How Gripen Dominates the Electronic Warfare

With more than 50 years of experience in developing electronic warfare technology, Saab is well placed to offer EW solutions that can be used on a variety of platforms i.e., land, air, and naval.

Stealth and ADS radars can be overcome with EW deceptive jamming, Saab agrees. Now stealth can't beat that, you need ECM and further EW capabilities and modifications to battle EW.

Are you drunk or something what the hell does ISIS and the black sea have to do with each other how are you even pulling this shit off..

Also where do they fit into the picture when Britain is claiming we are watching Russia

They are in the eastern Mediterranean sea, close to the Russian naval base in Syria, not in the Black Sea... The British claims they are there to fight ISIS, but is actually to observe the Russians naval exercise in the area... and do some strike training by bombing 'ISIS' in Syria...
