That’s meaningless.. those little silly wars of elephants vs donkeys are of zero interest to anyone outside of the US borders.. you might distinguish among CNN, CBS, ABC and Fox because it concerns you.. but for me it’s all the same..
Yes, like I said, you have no clue what is going on. If you can’t distinguish between CNN and Fox News then you really ought not be spouting off laughable theories about how the US media works.
Again, no one cares about Reps or how they are perceived in your media.. the world only cares about how the US policy gets exported outside.. that is where it ends..
Uh huh, must be why the subject comes up so much around here…
Gimme a freakin break.. Anyone on this forum who is capable of correctly spelling T.R.U.M.P. and C.L.I.N.T.O.N. already knows 100% more about the US politics that you’ll ever know about the politics of his country.. you gotta understand that no one here is obliged to follow what is happening inside your borders.. frankly, most of us could not care less..
When did I say anything about the politics of his country? He is clueless about the US, and I corrected him. The next time I start offering my opinion of how French politics and media work will be the first time.
Well aren’t there media houses for and against both Democrates and Republican?
Both Fox and CBSNews looks far more Republican friendly.Strangely enough, CNN is extreme in their *Anti-Russian retorics, even more hard core than Fox these days..
There is essentially one major pro-Republican media company, which owns both Fox News and the Wall Street Journal. (the most prominent conservative leaning newspaper in the US)
Essentially all the rest of the US media has a heavy pro-Democrat bias, CNN and MSNBC in particular. (both of which have been particularly taken with the Russia/Trump conspiracy theories)
The US media is overwhelming hostile to the Republicans in general and are practically foaming at the mouth where Trump is concerned.
This idea that there is some kind political/media elite coordinating their message is preposterous, at least where Trump and the Republicans are concerned.
Do carry on with your comical inability to understand US politics though.
The same people telling the state what to do dictate what to say to the media. It’s pretty much the same.
It is always amusing when people want to act worldly, and lecture others on how things “really” are… when it couldn’t be clearer they have absolutely no idea what they are talking about.
….
1/ i believe that i explained enough about the radar and canopy so i will not repeat it here
2/ the paint color changed because they use a new RAM that reduce cost and save works hours per airframe.
3/ There are dozens fighters that use dark color paints :4/ F-22 and F-35 practically have the same color
5/ F-16 is as dark as B-2 while F-18 is much lighter but that doesn’t mean F-18 is a fighter while F-16 isn’t
He is wrong, everyone knows it, and most importantly he knows it… which is why he is throwing this ridiculous tantrum.
The Pak-Fa’s radar is GaA based, not GaN. There are indications that may change in the future, but as of now this is not the case.
…and given that Western radar manufacturers are only just starting to produce GaN based radars and Russia is roughly 20 years behind the West in both semi-conductor and radar technology there is no reason to think we will see a Russian GaN radar anytime soon.

I should be ashamed because what, kid? because a narcissist idiot told be I should be?
A narcissist that can’t figure out why a plane designed for 50% a2a and 50% a2g and that would spend its most of its missions at medium/ high altitude due to its stealth should be painted in light color? What kind of new retard is that?
And btw in case you have missed it in the discussion, they ARE going to paint it in light grey. So much for you calling me wrong. Can’t get any worse than that for a arrogant narcissist.
You really are struggling here aren’t you?
No it doesn’t have a very big radar. The typhoon’s radar is probably even larger. The negative effects in aerodynamics would be minimal, and that would be largely compensated by increase in radar range. VLO is not an issue here.
Actually, Captor’s diameter is generally given as 70cm, so no, it isn’t bigger.
April 19 (UPI) — Norway has begun testing a drogue parachute braking system for use on F-35 Lightning II aircraft ordered from the United States, the Ministry of Defense says.
The Norwegian testing of the system, which will help the aircraft land on icy and windy runways, began Easter Sunday using a specially instrumented AF-2 jet.
The Ministry said the testing is a two-stage program. The first stage tests is to evaluate how an F-35 would behavesin the air with a fitted drogue parachute, and how the drogue parachute would function on dry and wet runways.
Phase Two involves using the parachute braking system on icy runway.
“Integration of the brake chute on Norwegian fighter aircraft is important to us,” Norwegian Defense Ministry’s State Secretary Øystein Bø said in a press release. “We rely on the F-35 to operate in extreme winter conditions, just like the F-16 can. That’s why we put so much effort into getting a specially-developed brake chute on our F-35.”
Speaking of skeptics, what happened to obligatory? After the whole nonsense about claiming external fuel tanks he just disappeared.
Things have been more productive around here lately.
Hopefully they flew formation over Bill Sweetman’s house whilst he was standing in his Garden waving an impotent fist shouting noooooooo!
Or was he just keeping Low Oberservable?
Like most of the critics that always claimed they were “concerned” about whether the F-35 program could deliver he has likely only gotten more and more pissed off as it has done just that.

This will be very common soon.
Europe is not a country. You may want to be more accurate
Europe may not be a country, but it is a -place- and there is nothing inaccurate about saying something will arrive there.

Pentagon seeks at least 5 percent savings on Lockheed F-35 jet, say sources
The deal for last year’s annual purchase contract, struck this February, put the standard takeoff and landing version of the jet at the lowest price ever, $94.6 million, a 7.3 percent reduction from the previous annual purchase price of $102 million.
The current negotiations are for a batch of about 130 planes. The talks could shave 5 to 7 percent, or $660 million, from the approximately 100 standard takeoff and landing A-model jets for the U.S. Air Force and U.S. allies, the sources said.
…
Speaking at a conference last month, Lt. Gen. Chris Bogdan, head of the F-35 program for the Pentagon, said the government hoped that by 2020 the F-35 would cost less than $80 million, a 16 percent drop from its current price.
That could take the price of the A model under $90 million for the next batch and keep it on track toward that $80 million goal.
Errrrr.. how to react on this.. :stupid: …. are you familiar with the concept of round Earth?
An engagement radar in Al Ladhiqiyah (elevation 36ft) has horizon distance of 7.3 miles.. if we assume the Tomahawk flying at 300ft (~90m), the radar can spot it at a target distance of mere 28.5 miles, no matter how powerful it is.. S-300, S-400 or Pantsir plays no difference.. and I am not even considering the An Nusayrlyah coastal mountain range with average peak elevation of over 1,200 m as a natural terrain barrier.
