What the hell is this going to do to a bunker...

yes, but my point is that they would have to surprise attack our ships in the strait....meaning we would not be at war for this strategy to work, they would have to start the fight, which would be the end of them, so this is a stupid idea. Our ships would not be this close to land if we were already at war, if they…

The fact that we have a stealthy, all weather, supersonic jet that can take off/land vertically is pretty amazing...they will work out the kinks like they did with the Raptor and Osprey, we have amazing personnel and technicians. We now need almost 2 breeds of aircraft one for low threat and one for high threat…

What prevents this from being boarded, sunk or captured? How would the sub not know that this was around...seems like no one thought this thru very much. I am assuming this is for our coastal waters.

The ship that they took was flagged from the Marshal Islands, a territory of ours. If we don’t keep shipping lanes open who will? Protecting shipping lanes are for the benefit of the US, and the rest of the world. If other countries would assist us we would gladly accept.

We have a Navy for this very purpose...stop whining.

I fail to understand how they think they will get this close...Our ships would have to be very close to their shoreline passing thru, they would have to surprise our ships. No way they could do this while we are already at war with them as we would sink everything they have from the air.

Go NAVY!

Nice looking plane, no problem with Rafael making these sales, the US makers have stopped making new affordable exports. F15/F16/F18 were designed in the late 60’s and 70’s respectively.

“move B^&%$, get out the way”

We need a stealthy jet to get in close, 100% stealthy attacking force limits alot of what the enemy can do, shortens the distance, increasing success

EuroF is not stealthy....it would have no idea that the F22 was lurking around

It was my understanding that these dogfights were not real world scenarios....just means the EuroF is pretty maneuverable...good dog-fighting practice for the F22’s.

F-35 looks pretty sweet...when will they let us know the 2 v 4, or 2 v 8 kill ratio’s vs 5th gen?

what are all these patches? senors?

Why do we let this tech out of our control? China, Russia, Iran, will surely be taking a good look at these systems and reverse engineer them....wtf.

I dont get it, why dont we have missile interceptors where they need to be...S Korea, Japan Baltic States, Poland...Why cant they buy the missile interceptors or lease them from us, and install them in their own countries. If you have nukes, other countries will have missile interceptors...I don't get what the issue…

its as fast as the camera can capture the blade that close....thats why it appears to cure THAT much, they do cure a little naturally, but this is due to how close the camera is to the object.

Its hard to arm this air-frame especially with those huge blades

Is it me, but I dont think our adversaries need to see what we are working on...how is this being made public helping our covert forces...isn't this helping our adversaries play catch-up? I don't understand, is this just test bed stuff, But still, why show it off...is it a budget thing? Is it counter intelligence?
