They have already stolen most of the f-35 data.
Amazingly though, as far as we know no one has ever been able to reproduce American fighter jet engines.
Russia and China have had access to them for years, but the actual process of making them and their software is very difficult to copy.

>>57439654
At least you dodged a bullet and didn't buy shitty Gripens either. Swiss people voted like they should.
1 x A-10 (proper armament included) for every 10 F-35's. Deal?
>>57439512
They'll just improvise with their own technology
youre aircraft is over complicated, and thus the system have many weaknesses.
thats why US fighters are garbage and waste of money
>>57438245
It's like a kid walking in on dad having sex with land whale mom
>>57439512
Engine blueprints != engine production
It's not a big deal for the Russians though. They simply have gone the "fucj the lifespan for more power" route.
The Chinese have improved, but are still behind. Spent like $55 billion on their engine program the last 10 years.
>>57439432
>last I'm hearing you faggot cannot afford to bomb anyone
At some point you're going to have to accept that the voices in your head are not a reliable source 50 cent
No buy Gripen instead
>>57439714
Well the F-22 represents a 5th gen fighter and they decided to settle with around 200 jets instead of the planned 2000+ because there is no plane in the world which can challenge it.
The F-35 would also be a 5th gen plane.
>>57439673
Rafales are literally built in-house so all the money spent by them stays in France.
Not the same for the 35. Production is scattered all over the world.
>>57439846
So in other words buying american you buy a globalist piece of shit lemon, like most american cars
yeah I already know this
>>57439713
A-10's are substantially less useful if you can't reliably protect them in the air.
And the F-35 can get in and out without being seen, something the A-10 can't do.
Unless you are looking at stopping masses of armor columns crossing the Fulda Gap, the A-10 is a bad choice.
>>57439713
Hell take as many as you want, they're pieces of shit anyway.

It was substantially more expensive. Unit cost alone was around 2.3x that of an F-35A to say nothing of the RAM upkeep and the enherently higher maintenance costs of a twin engine jet.

Just like how the USSR got all the atf program data
>>57442811
Sure it will, it's already in service with the Marines in fact. There's still patches and upgrades being done to the software with each new production run but that's why the Marines get it first, because no one cares about them.
That said a lot of cool shit it can do in terms of information exchange and battlespace management smaller air forces will never be able to take advantage of in a scenario where their allies aren't involved because they simply don't have the infrastructure needed to do so. But lets be real if any country like Denmark is in a SHTF scenario where they need that capability they'll have the USAF, RAF and France's gay Air Army to augment their forces and provide said infrastructure.

"Low and slow" might work against inbred tribal fucks who consider four AKs strapped together and mounted on a pickup to be adequate air defense, but against a modern power the Warthog is just completely outmatched, both by the defensive capabilities of enemy armor and the offensive capabilities of enemy anti-air.
>>57443914
Ah, so nothing anyone cares about.
>>57444103
>completely outmatched, both by the defensive capabilities of enemy armor
I'm getting stuck on secondary points here but wouldn't the cannon alone decimate a modern battle tank easily, if hit, that is?
>>57444195
Not anymore, 30mm is not enough.
>>57444103
>"Low and slow" might work against inbred tribal fucks who consider four AKs strapped together and mounted on a pickup to be adequate air defense,
Indeed. Moreover a Super Tucano would do the same at a fraction of the price.
The A-10 is literally worthless now, it can't even punch through modern armor.
>>57444195
Fuck no, not since the 80s. Those things would bounce right off anywhere except directly on the hatch which good luck hitting from 7k feet while flying at 350 mph.
>>57444195
Yes it would, if it was still 1977 and our greatest fear was a soviet tank with armor made from milk crates and sheets of steel scavenged from old ration cans.
Nowadays though, the GAU-8 is less of a "tank killer" and more of a "jeep annoyer" - it'll fuck up something like a transport truck, but against your typical modern day MBT you're not going to get very far.

Part of the whole reason you buy the newest, biggest, bestest toys is so you can take your current stock of now-outdated tech and eventually sell it off to other countries to fight proxy wars for you, safe in the knowledge that if they ever try and start shit using your own stuff, you've got the improved version that'll pound them into the ground.
wew
>>57444664
Having a ridiculously OP military prevents conflict by being a deterent. If you continue to let your military rot away so that's it's made up of 50 year old obsolete airframes like the A-10 you will no longer have a deterent and you increase the probability of a war between great powers.

You're doing it wrong
Is single engine an actual concern?
Why do people always bitch about it?
The US has operated a ton of single engine fighters for multiple branches, including the Navy.
American engines are reliable as fuck. I don't see a problem with it.
>>57446365
Developed your own version of the Harrier, and BAE had to set up shop in the US. Selling something that was made in Europe directly to the US is what's almost impossible.
There are some exceptions, like Rolls Royce engines and turbines
>>57446190
No but surely you are.
You can't just put an F-16 in your pocket for transport. You need to have established bases of operation. Although there would be benefits to a capitalist Venezuela you'd still have a hard time convincing the congress that such an endeavor is worth it. It probably isn't, and yes your fantasies require gov approval and not just yours since we live in a democracy not your personal fascist fantasies.

True
>American engines are reliable as fuck. I don't see a problem with it.
Because there isn't one.
>>57446553
But we wanted a good missile not a mediocre one
>>57446461
You can kill snackbars using 50 year old equipment quite easily.
Brimstones are cool because you can just bulk launch a ton of them in the general direction of a bunch of tanks and they'll have a chat, each pick a target, and destroy them.
Also, you were literally just praising a £1m missile...
>>57446516
>You can't just put an F-16 in your pocket for transport. You need to have established bases of operation
Yeah, like in Colombia.
>>57441127
Not the Su-35's AL-41's
>>57441289
Then what are the 10 flying planes that look just like it?
>>57446654
Because dropping 2000lbs of fuck you on someone for no real reason other than that it's so cheap you can is way cooler.
It's basically like "lol, I can literally do this all day Mahmoud."
>>57446244
To be fair,
1. It's a really nice missile
2. It's an air-to-air missile, so it won't be used frequently for bombing and stuff. I'm ok with a £1m missile if it ensure air superiority against the best our enemies might have
>>57446629
Then why did you let the Italians get involved? Checkmate atheists.
>>57441817
Lmao source required.
No one knows the real unit cost of a 35 yet. It has not been announced. It's only most likely cheaper because already 100 more have been made then the 22.

Precisely, air-to-air missiles aren't something you just pop a few dozen off during an air show for shits and giggles. We're much better off firing one decent missile than a dozen shitty ones that dummy off at a moment's notice.
Honestly, £1m is actually a pretty cost effective, considering just how much damage your average enemy plane can rack up, if left unchecked.

>The high low strategy.
That phrase doesn't mean what you think it means.
>>57444780
Nice proof.
War has only been increasing since 03, and there is no empirical basis to claim overwhelming force keeps war from happening in the world.
Americans nowadays barely support minor wars against those who killed thousands of our people.
>>57447171
A-10 is more useful than F-35 in present climate.
>>57438245
Military is rather pointless in this day and age, we already have nukes as a deterrent. The only ones who actually want to go to war are ISIS and other small groups, you hardly need much of a military to deal with them. We should just have one small global military to deal with this and also keep the national secret services.. and nations would save trillions of dollars and spend it on, you know, things that actually matter.
>>57441921
I think you made the right call. On the current trajectory Polan will be the best country to live in by 2075.
>>57447132
>What are nukes?
Diplomatic tools and weapons of last resort. If the war against the nuclear modern great power is waged away from the homeland then it's extremely unlikely nukes will be used. Examples:
Royal Navy and Russian Navy in the North Sea
Chinese Navy and US Navy in the South China Sea
Russian air force and US air force in Syria
>>57447235
No it isn't. More useful at what?
>>57447235
>>57447075
It's true though.
Either you fight a modern super power, in which case the A-10 is woefully under-equipped, or you fight sandniggers in which case a drone piloted by someone 4,000 miles away is just as effective at a fraction of the cost.
>>57446467
Because if you lose it you lose the plane.
Not the same if you have two.
>>57446619
What about when a missile hits the plane?
>>57444233
I feel like the Super Tucano is a vastly underutilized aircraft in western militarizes.
When you're fighting guys with AK47's you really don't need to be going 1,500 miles an hour. Wish we'd buy some. It'd keep our running costs down.

LRIP F-22? What?
Get your infomation right.
The price announced for the flyaway contract has NOT been announced for any F-35 variant. Fuck off.
>>57438245
NEVER

>>57447392
>What about when a missile hits the plane?
Then you're on fucking fire and ejecting regardless of how many engines you have.
>>57447394
Agreed. We bought some for the Afghans.
Watch them end up in warlords hands and turned into escorts for opium smuggling cessnas..
Could literally buy 10 of these for every one F-35 we're buying.
Vastly more useful for the kind of long protracted wars we fight against useless tribes in the middle east.
>>57447213
I am using it how I want to use it Mr. armchair general.
>>57447313
Actually being usable.
>>57447469
>The price announced for the flyaway contract has NOT been announced for any F-35 variant. Fuck off.
Except we do know what we just paid for the aircrafts that last rolled off the line which was 98 million + engine. That is a fact.
>>57438245
I trade 1 to 1 for invincible MIG 21. You also get 1 Mig 29 as bonus but gipsyes stole all the copper in the early 90s so it don't fly so good nomore,just like your f35.
>>57447481
So sexy hnng
>>57447573
>Actually being usable.
To do what, shoot a Toyota? I can do that for 1/10 of the cost with a prop plane.
>>57447391
Or you fight Iraq in 1991 and 2003???
Iran looks a lot like Iraq. Same goes for NK. Our AA fighters will take air superiority in the first day and then the A-10's (which carry FAR more than Tucano's and have FAR more resistance) will go in and fuck up the Commie shit tanks and vehicles.
>>57447623
That fuel is compensating for something.
>>57447618
If I ever win the lottery I'm buying a second hand MiG-21 and invading Canadian airspace.
>>57447404
That does not address what I said nigger.
>>57447678
>tiny bitty fuel intake
It's so you can boop it
In a full on world war, do you think we'd go back to propeller planes for simplicity, reliability and build time?
Just equip them with incredibly good missiles.
>>57447543
Oh because that's what my dad did in Vietnam when his plane got hit.
Not every attack on the plane will necessitate ejecting.
>>57447604
That's literally not FLYAWAY price you stupid illiterate fuck.
I'm outta this thread and heading back to /k/.
>>57447655
>which carry FAR more than Tucano's
And can only fire for like 18 seconds, so that's useful.
>and have FAR more resistance)
No they don't. Modern MANPADS hits you the plane is dead either way. Muh Titanium bathtub meme is about as relevant as muh A-10 as a tank killer meme post 1980.
>>57447768
>Oh because that's what my dad did in Vietnam when his plane got hit.
>Not every attack on the plane will necessitate ejecting.
Maybe because your dad got hit with a shit tier missile from the 60s you ever think about that you fucking retard? They're a bit more powerful now.
>>57447818
And the flyaway for the F-22 was 150. So...what's your point?
>The F-35 took its first flight on 15 December 2006
>Deliveries of the F-35 for the U.S. military are scheduled to be completed in 2037
Fuck that, do we have anything newer?
>>57447655
Or, better plan, after securing air superiority we throw hordes of glorified RC planes with missiles strapped to them at the enemy while the A-10s pretend they're still relevant by flying airshows back home.
>>57447737
Isn't that basically what we're doing with shit like the Predator and the Reaper?
>>57438245
Pierre sprey told us not to.
>>57447737
probably drones, skilled pilots are a precious resource. I'm waiting for the drone equivalent of the ak47, ie something that can be assembled anywhere with little tech with only a few parts(electronics,mostly) that require large factories and that can be made and stored in advance in case shit happens.
>>57448010
Just wait till you see the F-36.
It is a Hypersonic stealth fighter that can also be flown remotely as a drone, and has solid state laser guns.
the f-35 is a $1T platinum plated piece of crap
>>57447571
This, everything is in the ordinance nowadays
>>57447571
rubbish its a flying turd
>>57448386
It is neither 1 trillion dollars nor is it a piece of crap.
>>57448086
Oh, well then you definitely made the right call.
>>57438245
Make this happen america.
>>57448841
>how you want your plane f.am?
>just fuck my t/w's shit up
>>57448993
would it fly?
>>57447272
That's what Chamberlain thought before Hitler decided to rape Europe.
>>57449038
If it did it would be out of fuel is less time than a MiG-35
>>57448841
What would even be the benefit of adding an entire second set of wings directly on top of the other? You're just increasing weight for, what, one extra hardpoint on each wingtip?
>>57449140
So who is the new Hitler in your analogy?
>>57449301
>>57449350

Don't worry the "bear" is just showing off it's claws, to remind us all that it is a bear.
No big deal. Everyone loves Russia because muh values amirite?

How did Putin cut off his own leg, what does that imply?
