its worlds better than vehicles based on the mistubishi lancer from near a decade ago..... thats not hard to beat.

the Russians might have, the Chinese seem to still hold quite tightly to that thinking and have the money to do so, WITH those superior Russian designs. and between the two, its the Chinese we should use as an enemy force because they represent the greatest potential threat.


and with everything ive read on the 35…

as a fellow former XJ owner.... its the styling. it looks the part even if it isn’t, unlike that goddamn atrocity the KL

did i say they are useless against infanty? not at all, they work wonders when these dickheads hole up in buildings or in a big group.

however my point remains, there are some situations where bombs or missiles cant be used, and this is where you need the cannon. and while “precision” might not have been the right…

or like when the F-4 was totally able to outfight the mig-17 and 19.... oh wait that was the other way around.

im not saying your point isnt completley valid, because it is, but there is still a limit to what training and tactics can overcome especially if your opponet can afford to send up 4+ jets for every one you…

was digging through some stuff on that the other night, between those two the 35 was the superior performer, plus had the same construction advantage that helped win Lockheed the ATF contract.

unless said goat fuckers are holed up 100 feet away from your own troops.

the gun offers a level of precision that no bomb possibly can

well of course they want all the data available on it, they want to know how to knock it down.

id also like to point out that their clone is a much cleaner looking aircraft that should (in theory) fly much better.

any advantage offered the F-35 in both long range engagement and off bore sight engagement is offset by its extremely limited number of missiles. flying clean it can only carry 4 total, flying it with the external pylons sacrifices much of its debatably effective stealth capability. so your options are to either fight…

i have got to stop reading these, each and every time i find something new to be furious about.

whatever group of asshats allowed this thing to see the light of day should be hung by their entrails.

you could pay me to do it! pay me in unlimmited ammo and logistical support with an Abrams to go with while i spent my time hunting down the royal males and police force

when the hell are people in the west going to learn to STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM THAT REGION!?

at best you are spending your money to help prop up a bunch of despots, and if you dare say anything out of line, they come down on you like a hammer.

a bit more power (desperatly more torque) and a better tire package and youd have a fantastic sports car, if the price didn’t change.

its a big part of the sales slump, for what you get you arent getting much car

if Houston wasnt so damned hot id have totally replace the stock doors with those tubular ones.

i had na XJ not a wrangler

dude, you totally missed Europe with the Vikings!!!

aaaah, this just reminds me of the slim jim i kept taped to the bottom of my Jeep.......

went through a phase where id keep leaving the keys in the ignition, and for some reason it was always with the ignition in the unlocked position, so after a few successful attempts to learn, it became a hassle but no big deal.…

after having read many of these incredibly long but fantastic articles, ive had a though. The Marines get an unfair amount of the blame placed on them for the program. blame them on the bad fighter design to accommodate their requirements, but the program as a whole lies squarely on the shoulders of the three…

apparently she had very important business to attend, or was terrorizing more Arab oil barons
