According to the code on the nose, this one should go to Angola(?)
Very neat birds. The nose in almost unbelievably long. π

You skipped this one. π The aircraft in the background make me doubt that the picture was taken in Uzbekistan.
How many times is it newsworthy? How many times do we need to hear the same story? And when they get the thing under control and it enters service and the pilots and maintainers love it will Bill be telling us about it? Nope. When it goes into exercises and dominates will Bill tell us week after week how fantastic the jet is? Nope.
I don’t know what your problem is. Most news is predominantly negative as counterbalance to marketing which is 99.9% positive. I don’t see anything wrong in that. If you want to read about how the F-35 is so fantastic, just visit the website of Lockheed Martin.
BTW, I don’t remember Sweetman to have skipped a single important milestone of the F-35 program just because it was positive news. It seems that you want to deny the troubles with F-35 by ridiculing anyone who brings such news.
According to the latest data for the T-50 has developed another low observable L-band radar, in MAKS-2009 showed the L-band for the Su-35, not T-50.
One radar shown at MAKS 2009 featured eliptical rather than circular shape of the antenna. There is no reason to think that it was for Su-35 and not for T-50. Why would they willingly give up the space to stuff it with more modules?

Today I was quite surprised to learn that UAE AF has UH-60M Blackhawks, as well as AH-64D Longbow Apaches

Does Brunei Darussalam qualify?





CAUTION SPECIAL COATING
Do they mean RAM?
its a LRIP cost breach, not a long term cost breach, as far as i understand it
One just inevitably predates another.

I see that you are from Australia. I find it peculiar that you simply say “so what” because someone will have to pay the cost breach. And that someone is customers – that also includes your government, which will source the money from you..
I cannot see where would they fit six short range missiles elsewhere than in the weapon bays. :confused:
Probably depends on the type but I can imagine that in case of Belenkov’s MiG-25, even its weight of gold would be still a cheap price π
What I find most interesting is that according to you link, in July 1988 two Syrian pilots defected with their MiG-29s to Turkey. How come we are not flooded with pictures of SyAAF Fulcrums?
