I presume the F-35 comes with a flight and voice recorder as standard, you know, the “black boxes”? Are they equipped with sonar “pingers” that allow them to be more easily found when underwater – like the recorders fitted on airliners?

Got a question on the s-400 and f-35s for Turkey. What amount of F-35s did turkey plan to order and what time frame was the original order supposed to end? Could have they just gotten the f-35s 1st and than order the s-400?

You do realize Turkey has 2 F-35’s in the US used by its pilots and ground crew for training purposes?

Yes, I know that, but the the Turkish pilots are not in the US to test the effectiveness of the F-35’s systems, though, are they?

In a list of all 5th gen fighters that are something more than just a prototypes, J-31 is less mature and developed of all of them.

It’s certainly an immature design compared to F-22 and F-35 – compared to Su-57, who knows?

but lacks its kinematic performance and ruggedness. It’s overweight and oversized as F-35, but it lacks systems (IRST, EOTS, whatever) and advantages of single engine design.

How do you know all this? That’s right – you don’t.

…and you have long ignored repeated attempts to educate you that the Su-57 will incorporate CNT/fullerene RAM in its (widespread) PMC radar absorbent structures. Research that RUSNANO and OKB Sukhoi initiated as far back as 2007, before the first metal was even cut on T-50-1.

Your link doesn’t mention the use of CNT or Fullerene for RAM as far as I can see – unless you can point it out? The text only mentions such material technology being applied in the production of composite materials.

If the IAF did shoot down an F16, maybe it was an issue with the flares. Apparently the US found in Syria that their flares were burning to cleanly to jam certain Russian IR missiles.

What variants of the R-73 does India use? The basic R-73 missile is a 40-year-old design. Have any R-73M been exported? You would think that effective counter-measures would have been developed for use against an old missile would have been developed by now?

or arguments sake lets just say the Syrians begin operating the s-300s in Damascus and the rest of their defense network like today. a month, few months or possibly a year if no Israeli air strikes come this shows the effectiveness of the S-300.

That’s a very simplistic way of looking at it. If the Israelis do, in fact, launch air raids in territory covered by the S-300 in the near future will you accept that this proof of the lack of effectiveness of the S-300 system?

• Will Israel conduct airstrikes lets say for example(don’t take my estimate seriously) instead of 10–15kms away they have done with short range they now have to do it 60–70kms because of the S-300 air defense system causing accuracy issues this will show the effectiveness of the s-300.

Sure, that would highlight that the S-300 is more effective than the previous air-defence systems. Even the air defence systems that Syria possesses today are effective at making more difficult, and expensive, to carry out air strikes – even if they can’t actually prevent and stop such air strikes. The S-200, Kub etc are certainly effective up to a point. But the S-300 is just another anti aircraft missile system – it’s not a miracle weapon.

That line didn’t age well.

We haven’t seen much from Msphere in many months – not since videos of F-35s performing pedal-turns and what not in air displays started turning up. He’s hardly suffering from asphyxia?
