Mercurius :

It tells us *nothing* about what kind of tests were being conducted.

They didn ‘t test anything , it was for the picture then , they disasembled everything . :rolleyes:

EE :

The Tornado isn’t, or wasn’t, conceived an interceptor but it proved to be rather effective neverless. So how do you come to the conclusion that the F-35 won’t be?

Tornado ‘s top speed is Mach 2.34 .
Mach 1.6 is rather “slow” for an Interception role , don ‘t you think ?

Belethor :

That probe, that nasty nasty probe.

The probe ‘s RCS is very small , no big deal . It has been taken into account from day one and tested :

still not going to be anywhere near stealthy as the F-35

True , nobody is saying otherwise .

no EODAS

True but we have DDM-NG :

Mildave , I agree with most of your post but this :

The F-35 might have a better sensor suite, but will lack basic aerodynamics to make it a suitable AtA fighter.

is a bit too harsh . Yes the F-35 is not an Interceptor (too slow) and its dogfighting abilities (slow speed handling) are questionable . Nevertheless , it will be a force to be accounted for in the BVR combat . Its planned survivability against RF threats is second to none to start with . It is going to be harder to shoot a F-35 BVR than to shoot a F-22 because of its strong ECMs .

You know me , I am not a F-35 fan but I know my bit about it .

Cheers .

Mildave :

Why would Syria attack Israel

because :
-1 Assad is a wounded lone wolf and he has more to gain than to loose by riposting against Israel
-2 Assad doesn ‘t give a s**t about his country anymore
-3 Assad will not go into oblivion in silence
