i do not mean anything like that. I have seen it fly 5 times. Did you? I just mean that in order to fly slow F-35 A need high AoA, which is not necessarily the case of Russian or European planes. Landing speedis an indicator (among others) on how a plane will behave at slow speed.

Three flows engine seem revolutionary for you? See Tornado. Whatever dump valve, “souris” etc. An adaptative cycle is an adpatative cycle.No less no more.

Ha, was just gonna write the exact same thing spud. It may not be full/full. But they’ve stated full internal weapons load specifically several times. Recent article, forget which aviation magazine, had pilot stating limits with full fuel below 9G, until some fuel burned off. The B/C can reach their g-limits or 7.5/7 with full fuel and weapons (stated in previous DOT&E).

Why speaking about Rafale centric world when you come from F-35 centric world? The idea is that Rhino and Rafale do not NEED very high AoA to be manoeuvrable at low speed. Again, i put the C version of F-35 apart.
Btw, normal approach speed of Rafale in 15T configuration is 120 kts.

I’m ducious about one point. If F-35 is so manouvrable at slow speed, why doese it have such a high landing speed? (maybe not C)

Pardon to play the devil’s advocate, but so far and regardless all dirty propaganda from both sides, the only CONFIRMED loss or kill is a MiG-21 Bison. Neither the Su-30MKK as claimed by the Pakistani nor the F-16 as claimed by the Indians is confirmed.

i can fully understand both sides that in mind of nationalistic fewer the sense to facts get lost, but again, so far none of these claims was confirmed by evidence and pictorial facts nor by any independent third party. :confused:

Anyway greek already killed a turkish F-16

Ridiculous. Honestly. “it sucks to be you” looks like schoolyard language.

With all due respect, that is not accurate, for example a compressed pulse consist of many sub pulses at different frequencies = radar can change frequency before it receive the returns.

point is you do not have to cancle the whole signal, just mess it up enough to be non significant.

Let’s wait for dust to down?
