They should be thankful for not losing the most important skill in a pilot which is to know how to take-off an landing.

Pretty insulting. Had a long talk with “Carlos”, instructor on super tucano at pas13. You’d e surprised…

Ah ok confused. btw, side (conformal) arrays on the way also at Thalès.

Siddar – Most people doubt there will ever be a program like F35 ever again.

I should ****ing well hope not!

You are wrong, instead of sweeps, F35 stealth might be used once in its lifetime… So many sacrifices on range, payload, manoeuvrability. Do its stealth reaaly improve its survivability as a part of a whole system? Just wondering.

Bring it, conformal antennas were dismissed from F22. Years ago and was never produced.
Bah nvm, this wole thread is onsense, every countries are working on passive multistatic radars, some prototypes are funded using UHF, VHF, MF and Numerical TV frequences.

Btw, seems that drsomnath was banned, any clue or reason?

Then J series datalink sould be nato standardised.

Well, i’m quite happy with that joke 😉 (but it’s midnight here). All in all, there is a serious point behind.

I’m getting confused : F22 has its own datalink, F35 will use its own datalink (madl) and incoming upgrades of F18 and F15 will share a common datalink. All in all, Foreign countries should buy US stuff for compatibility, thats it?
