F-35 has unusual performance parameters with todays standard for a fighter,
it is superior in speed while on a bomb run with those two bombs, while being as agile as any other fighter,
but is inferior in both speed, acceleration, and maneuverability with A2A load.
Only F-22 has a lower RCS, and sensor wise, it would take every gizmo suggested for Gripen NG to match it.
(and i think most AF going Gripen NG will cut some corners)
Lower comparable rcs isn’t new, both MiG-21 & Draken had lower comparable rcs, but that alone didnt make them the best fighter.
I think supersonic maneuverability is more critical in BVR duels than general opinion suggest,
to say nothing as to how pilot skill will in the end decide an A2A engagement

how about this? i know people are saying now days that f35 is made for bombing only – its not…

Jessica Biel from the movie “stealth”…she was about the only thing worth seeing in that film, especially when she takes a shower under the waterfall 😀

im wondering if anyone would recognize who she is 😛

sorry im a little off topic but i had a quick question for you guys! so on the internet and in the media people are always talking about the f35’s superiority and how this is going to be the future of american airplane industry but my question is how?

i looked at its preference stats on wiki and comparing to su35 which is a 4+gen plane f35 in inferior in several characteristics (yet its being called 5th gen) and when compared to Pak-fa its inferior in 80-90% of its characteristics. My question is why is US settling for a jet that is almost inferior to most “modern jets” 4+ and all 5 gen and spending almost a trillion dollars?? with that money why cant they make something cheaper and better preforming (granted that US has allot of scientists and “some facilities are more high tech” then the russians , yet the russians make better fighters – why is that?
