More new footage of the F-35B trials on board the USS America.
It is a pity no one knows anything about where the PL-21 is, the fact that it was reportedly test fired back in March 2016 is news to me. Perhaps performance was not good enough and they have had to redesign certain parts of the missile.
I still can’t get over how long the Weapon bay door’s are on the J-20, they will probably need all the space inside for the new long range missile if current estimates are correct. And another thing, what happened to the PL-21 missile? Disappeared or was this new missile the PL-21? Help! :confused:
This YouTube video from Lockheed Martin is the final SDD at sea test for the F-35B. It was a complete success.
Hi all, a newly posted video on YouTube on the F-35B.
Excellent find bring_it_on. 😎
Just found this video about the largest number of F-35Bs taking of from the USS America.
I am stuck between the F-16 and MiG-29, having seen both perform at the now defunct RAF Leuchar’s airshow.
I am surprised that the FC-31 does not have side weapon bay’s like the J-20, was there any reason given by SAC as to why they did not add side weapon bay’s?
MDD YF-23, most definitely.

Well said Cagun21, the YF-23 was my favorite of the two ATF prototypes, the F-22 was far too conventional for my liking.
That is truly awful and shocking news to hear.
Probably because there has been no requirement for twin seat 5th gen fighters. At least that’s what I think.
F-35 has launched AMRAAM at supersonic speeds. Will have to check on JDAM.
Brilliant news. By the way, any pictures available of the launch?
Apparently a Su-30M2 and Su-35 mock dogfighting:
Interesting picture TR1, any word on who won the dogfight? Su-30 or Su-35?
Official photos of #01 & #02 entering PLAAF:
Is it me or does the Y-20 look rather smart in its official PLAAF colours? 😎
