Realistically she’s a support carrier that will require land based aircraft, or aircraft from the US Navy, to work with her air wings to sufficiently lock down an airspace.

Of course they can. But when you come from a culture where you are told to pray if things get bad instead of using logic and critical thinking you tend not to do to the smart thing.

Having a ramp seriously limits her operations but if her main role is to backup US carrier groups, it’s fine.

They will not be using the same jets the US is using on US supercarriers.

The pilot asking people to pray saying the situation was in god’s will is a problem with Islamic pilots. There’s a long history of Islamic pilots giving up on situations and praying instead of trying to rectify a fixable situation. An engine was unbalanced because it lost a fan blade. I bet it turns out that the pilot…

But they are. Russia has a fraction of the planes NATO has, the US Navy has more jets than they do, and newer ones. Their AA while, supposedly good, is vulnerable to cruise missiles and stealth. We have more cruise missiles than they have SAMS to shoot them down. At the end of the day, it literally doesn’t matter.

Really sloppy article. The gun doesn’t fire 7 miles, it can just fire a missile 7 miles. It’s literally the biggest #WhoCares invention of all time. The USA isn’t going to bother with this because we always have air superiority, our tanks aren’t meant to kill other tanks, that’s what the airforce is for.

Btw I noticed…

Turns out that bad o2 systems have killed 4 navy pilots in F/A-18s over the last year. Looks like the F-35, which has yet to kill anyone, isn’t alone. Probably a common manufacturer..

it’s why lithium ion battery packs are not the future

why anyone travels to qatar for pleasure is a mystery to me

came to post this

west coast vs east coast.

west coast vs east coast.

Btw every F-16 pilot that has transitioned to the F-35 has already said how much better of a jet the F-35 is. I’ll take their word for it over yours.

You are wrong about the F-35C. It only needs the detachable wing tips redesigned. It isn’t a big deal.

wow, are you willfully ignorant or just unintentionally ignorant?

You have literally no idea what you are talking about.

You do realize that the F-35 pilots that used to fly the F-16 completely disagree with you.

The F-35 currently outturns the F-16 and has better acceleration. And even then, that doesn’t matter. The F-35 can fire missiles at targets behind it.......

All the pilots actually flying the f-35 say the completely opposite. The F-16 can’t out turn, out run, or out shoot an F-35 and the F-35 is still not even optimized.

Don’t take my word for it.

Wrong. It lost when the software was still restricting the angle of attack. The f-16 is incapable of defeating the F-35 now that the limiters are removed.

but try again.
