you got a point, but still if you don't need stealth why send in an $$ stealth plane.
The lump on the mig was an intended design, while the lump behind the F35 was a compromise that come from a jack of all trade design concept....
As off now the Chinese engine or Russian one are not at the level of the F35 engine... Once the J31 get proper engine it would have better t/w than the F35... Even in those picture you can see the lumpy/fatness of the F35 just look right behind the cock pit of the F35 compare to the J31..The...
agree drone will be the future, the f22 and the F35 might be the last of a dying breed... I just hope the F35 would died now and save us billions of tax payer money...
Today war will still need plane that can loiter above combat zone for ground support, this loiter ability is greatly enhance by drop tanks... Air refueling and drop tank are option that you have to prolong flight time over combat zone...
The J31 with proper engines will be better than the F35 given its design wasn't limited to the jack of all trade mission. The J31 two engine will give it better t/w and without design constraint for a big lift fan in the middle of the fuselage will make it slimmer(less drag). If the J31 is a...
The F35 is a big mistake according to Pierre Sprey
As for the combat radius between f16 and F35.. You add a drop tank to an F16 and the range will be different..
As for the F35 putting anything on the wing would defeat its stealth feature so no drop tank or external weapon load.
India building are collapsing on their own, god forbid if a moderate earth quake would hit Mumbai or New Delhi thousand if not million would died. India really need to improve its building codes.
I have no experience that why I'm going with Pierre Sprey opinion over you on the F 35. Your experience with the f111 or the f16 could have been as a radar tech on those plane, since you didn't went into detail. So I will be sticking with Pierre Sprey opinion over someone who use to work in...
grats on your expertise:omghaha:
non expert here, how good is a bomber that can only carried two bombs.
how good is a support aircraft that has a limited loiter ability over the battlefield because its a gas hog and can only carried 2 bombs:cuckoo:.
small wing, fatness do to the lift fan plus...
Pierre Sprey "The mission of the F35 is to send money to lockheed martin"
Pierre Sprey... he also design F16 and the A10

When was the US of A responsible for the shia sunni blood letting in Pakistan. You should stop licking the Saudi behind and start beheading any imam who speak of extremism between shia and sunni. Pakistan should do what the Chinese do to control extremist, have an under cover agent in mosques...
No matter how business friendly
Nawaz Sharif is or how big he thinks, if people are blowing up each other there is little chance of Pakistan ever succeeding economically.
Doesn't really matter who the leaders is, if Pakistan can't curb or stop extremist violent and stabilize the country, there will be no economic progress. FDI is the key to development and no right thinking person would invest in an unstable country borderline of being a fail state status. One...
