Mass-production non-experimental.

f22 melts in the rain and the f35 constantly breaks down because it's engine can't support such a heavy piece of shit
>>
>>30110608

It doesn't rain everyday, and the F-35 isn't mass-production.

you can't really expect the f-16 to save you from Russian 4th and 5th gen fighters

The US Airforce really needs a kick up the ass if they ever want to compete again

Are /ak/ threads dead on /k/? Haven't been on in a week or so.
>>
>>30110659

When There are more Russian 4th and 5th gen fighters in existence than there are F-22s on any one Air Force base on a given day come talk to me.

>>30110747
There was a somewhat successful one that archived like a day ago.

Should still be there, I think...

...no?

Just died naturally, though they have been a little less frequent in recent weeks. I don't see them as a problem because they are just like the AR/AK generals (i.e: they keep mostly to themselves).

Easy, 2,300 F35s

The military might even order 200more
>>
>>30110608
>f22 melts in the rain
F22s are all getting new f35 coatings
So not an issue

> the f35 constantly breaks down
It actually doesn't.
Not a single F135 engine has failed

The US has some advantages

F-15 can :^)

>>30110578
By completing R&D projects and building planes.

Nope, anon moderation in kicking out general shitters and image dumpsters. Only thing we exclude from dumping are completed translated chapter dumps.
>>30110790

No, that was mediocre actually. Image fags didn't went full retard but they were an issue (Every repliy would be with an unnecessary image) and kept on bumping the thread when it's suppose to die naturally.

Try to address the purported flaws of the RuAF instead you vatnik.
Instantly going "u r dum!!!1" is why everyone hates russians on /k/ these days.
>>
>>30112874
Even then, even F-22s don't have rain issues, that was way back with the F-117 and B-2; each new stealth aircraft has more durable coatings than the last.

>Not a single F135 engine has failed
There was one

>>30113224
>purported flaws

Retard fatnik, jamal fucked you dumb
>>
>>30110578
Well, just because they lost the ass game doesn't mean they can't win with tits.
>>
>>30113316
>memes
memes aren't necessarily false vatnik.
The PAK-FA lacks true stealth and runs on modified SU-27 engines while sharing design features with the SU-27 family.
That russia can't afford to equip even an airbase worth of them is also bad when you'll be facing the F-22 which is both superior in numbers and capability.
>>
>>30113054
Well, it IS an imageboard...

>>30111534
Uhh, what part of "mostly" didn't you catch? There is spillage and overlap sometimes, but that happens on every single board there is here. It's not a uniquely /k/ issue.
