10k lbs weapons and fuel I assume? Rafale M has a bring back capability of ~5,2t of weapons and fuel or 11440 lbs.

Nope, just ordinance.

ALR-94 if target emitting?

That should work “if” the target is emitting.

I was able to find a doc on the JSF’s store separation simulations:
http://www.mscsoftware.com/events/vpd2006/na/presentations/29.pdf

While most of the pdf deals with the transonic region, it did clearly address store separation for the entire flight envelope.

The actual dropping of iron is not till 2011.

LOL.. that APA graph rated the PAKFA better than the F-22 and SU-35 as it’s equal.

Any knucklehead will tell you that 5th gen is stealth first, and highly integrated avionics after that.

Both of which the F-35 has in spades.

Gross errors:
1. Supercruise – no data has been released about the F-35’s ability in this area. What speed can the SU-35 SupCruise at?
2. High Agility Supersonic/Subsonic – All interviews praise it’s agility, especially in the subsonic range.
3. TVC – You don’t need it if your weapons and situational awareness is good enough.
4. AESA array – gives the Russian radars higher ranks even thought they have never flown on production aircraft.
5. Side looking arrays – Again, gives Russian an advantage even though there is no evedence they exist, especially for the SU-35
6. Supersonic Weapons Delivery – faults the F-35 even though there is no evidence that it cannot deliver.
7. High Combat Ceiling – no hard data on the F-35 exists, so to fault it is bogus.
8. High Specific Excess Power – What does this mean???

It makes ABSOLUTLY NO DIFFERENCE.

It makes all the difference considering you are railing against a missile without providing any data, just supposition.

Where does it SAY full HOBS for the D?

You may try to prove me wrong now.

You might want to go re-read post 384 where I gave 3 government sources that do not say OBS or Improved OBS but HOBS.

The last source, from the Program Manager of the AIM-120D development specifically defined what HOBS is:

Among the benefits, this will expand the AMRAAM’s capacity for ‘high-off-boresight’ (HOB) engagements, he noted. HOB engagements are where the missile goes after a threat in its launch aircraft’s rear hemisphere.

What’s that story from Holland that the F-35 will need 17 more billion USD and another two years of development? Any other source available? Or BS and FUD?

That was from a DoD panel that is designed to provide a “worst case scenario” on the F-35 production.

HAHA… that quote was from Peter G. about the 2002 AIM-120C5 upgrade… not AIM-120D.

And as far as “vaunted 360°”.. that is for the 120D also.. not the C5.
