Ok, but a watchdog group complaining do not mean that there was any fraud at all. Which is what some here imply. (how couldit be different? F-35 is SOOOOO superior to F-15)
A lot of people
you and ric nunes? thats reaally a lot of air.
Bio, ethical watchdogs are riht when they share the same opinion as you do but npot if they don’t? (POGO)
Well, they stopped paying their share in F-35 program since january…
Well, with Brexit incoming, financing from the Uk may also become a problem…
Your “ethical society “look like a poor attempt from fan boys or LM paid lobbyists. And i am pretty sure that Gal Dunford knows better than so called anonymous experts what he needs.
Things aren’t that simple, it is not a video game. Noone likes to be dtected at 450 Kms. Detection from a radar can be sent to other radars working in higher bandwith that wil energize more the intended box. I have (and swedish also btw) seen F-117 from a ground radar in France (Evreux). Of course not precise enough to lock, but sufficient to send a patrol. Which in defensive mode will certainly lit up their radars that will be detected by F-35 (or any other modern “red”) etc. etc. Even a well manipulated antiquated SA2/8 can be and are real threats. One do not play pilots lives on gambles…
Italy stopped payin consortium in january. Consequently 2 new italian F-35 are grounded.
So, correctly if i’m wrong.
Italy is braking hard.
Turkey is up to leave.
Poland will soon jump in
Spain also for their marine. (at least, but i do not think they will have a share in FCAS if they buy F-35 for their Air Force)
I’m dubious about swiss and Finland
WU Qian Ji, head engineer at CETEC officially confirmend that in 2013, metric radar could follow a F-22 at 450 Kms. This type of radars now cover the entire coast of China and are precise enough to target.
Take it with a pinch of salt, sill…

Hey do not shoot the messenger, i even mentioned it was from Briganti before linking it.
Dunford assessed that F-15X purchase is here to mitigate capabilities shortfall + it will be half as expensive to maintain (and slightly cheaper to buy) + Way longer lifetime. Not illogical. to use a “bomb carrier” aside F-35.

F-15 fill capability shortfall as per Dunford.
THAT one is from de Briganti.

The F-15EX initially would only be “slightly” cheaper to buy than a new F-35, it will be more than 50 percent cheaper than the Joint Strike Fighter to operate over its life. Additionally, it has “twice as many hours” in terms of how long it lasts.
