Maneuvering will be important in a frooferaw like Syria because it will probably be a lot of close passes, cutting the other guy off and obscene gestures that need to be seen from not too far away (before the actual shooting starts, anyway).

it's impossible to not understate how loving expensive this poo poo was. so just for clarification if people don't know, the f-35 program has cost so far something like 1.5 trillion, trillion with a T. for a single fighter jet program (yes I know it has a handful of different versions for different branches/uses).

but, like, 1.5 trillion dollars. just lol. take a fraction of that, keep our existing and proven aircraft going like 2-3 more decades, take the res and, solve, I don't know, LITERALLY EVERY SINGLE PROBLEM FACING THIS COUNTRY for like the next 25-50 years, and you would still probably have money left over

or just give the 1.5 trillion to elon musk so he could build his human battery/rape farm on mars by 2025

the f35 will lose speed when its vertical in many circumstances, depending on its payloud and how much fuel it has... even an f35 with no weapons / equipment on it that has 100% fuel has a thrust to weight ratio < 1... its even slower and shitter when it has missiles and junk on it of course...

there are lots of potential adversary aircraft that have this capabiliy, and even have better performance with a loadout on the plane...

id be surprised if the maximum pitch angle of the f35 allowed for vertical flight anyway... probably the engine falls off the if you do that

Yes, and as you say metallurgy. We have just scienced better.

Fake edit: watching a news show and some Syrian guy was asked who he thinks was responsible for the chemical attack. "Helicopters came. Dropped four barrel bombs with chemicals. Whoever has helicopters is responsible."

drat, civilians need to be able to identify aircraft, would be good to know if it was an Mi-24 or an AH-64, you know?

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday and urged him to do nothing to destabilise Syria.

Netanyahu told Putin that Israel would press a campaign to prevent Iran’s military entrenchment in Syria, his office said.

Syria, Iran and Russia say Israel was behind an air strike on a Syrian air base on Monday that killed seven Iranian military personnel, something Israel has neither confirmed nor denied.

In the telephone call, Putin told Netanyahu that it was important to respect Syria’s sovereignty, according to a statement on the Kremlin’s web site.

In its statement on the conversation, Netanyahu’s office said: “The prime minister reiterated that Israel will not allow Iran to establish a military presence in Syria.”
