Merry fucking Xmas to you assholes
You're more optimistic than me. RS knew their Boxxers wouldn't last a race run. Tim Flukes is on the record saying as much when he was the RS race tech.Whilst all those references are good examples of shit tech I'm not sure I buy the fact that all those companies consciously went fuck it, she'll be right.
Apples and oranges mate and some of the kit in the F35 leaves the 22 looking positively archaic.
Lockheed could have done a F22A, oh hold on they are! https://nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/air-force-wont-build-new-f-22-raptors-heres-why-27282
@johnny could say more about this but conceptually the F-35 is bogus, and the way its been rolled out has every project management error ever. The Russian S400 missile system and Australia's Wedgetails can detect F35s so their supposed stealth benefit evaporates when faced with sophisticated low frequency radar.
We would have been better off buying Rafales and more Wedgetails for interdiction, and more Reapers for strikes.
