beautiful aircraft guys

[lassiecox]

some of the uniforms were not to code

[ItsEpicDanny]

Damn u ppl need a life.. STFU and just watch. Besides killing woman and children is part if nature. Animals kill other animals. Grow a pair and get used to it. Be greatful u live in a well protected area

[HDaviator]

@ItsEpicDanny Unlike other animals we have the capability from birth to figure out what is right and wrong. Our Brain gives us the capability to feel compassion and sorrow. Perhaps yours does not, but mine does. Killing Women and Children is not part of nature. Its is a part of the cruelty of people like you who are not capable of protecting themselves. I say the money for this program would have been better spent in education, because all it is protecting now is a bunch of stupid Americans.

[nickmooreimages]

USA : "We're trillions in debt. Lets build more airplanes!"

[tangent123456]

@nickmooreimages The developers of the planes aren't the ones in dept, it's the forces that needs & buys the airplanes, whos government agreed they could buy it :D Lockhead Martin makes the beautiful planes ^^

[Mattiasivan]

Why does America got such a big national debt? Oh wait...

[pilotboy8532]

@Mattiasivan thats the price of freedom...pay it or get the fuck out

[Mattiasivan]

@pilotboy8532

i dont mind America spending more, im gona enjoy watching you fail.

[DemonicToilet]

fucking $100,000,000,000 later and one fucking plane.

[Phantasmos]

LOL, I can just see this baby hovering over a Terrosit camp shooting away (Isn't that the Apaches Job)! Besides, I heard the A10 can take a pounding, can this toy take it?

.

Hey, can a nozzle be fitted in the front to piss on anything as it hovers before shooting away, after all, it is a Marine thing??

[jetlorider]

i know how to drive that...im take it n drop it in the dept of the oceans

[mrdiamondback1]

i've been flying this bitch since 2006, battlefield 2..

[AddictiveAirsoft]

@mrdiamondback1 i was waiting to see that comment

[GingerAleification]

this baby is so hot...IF she was not constructed for killing people....

[adikted2wwe]

and on the right side you will see marines pissing on dead Talibans.

[bushpigification]

Now deliver Australia's please :)

[xxxSLITxxx]

lol i love how america spends 600 billion on defence when apart from a few islamic extremists there is no country in the world that would attack the USA and thus the USA has no major threat to defend against. and i also love how the USA spends 600 billion on DEFENCE, when in reality they are the ones ATTACKING. and how they spend 600 billion on defence when they are 10 trillion + in debt and 10% of their own people are unemployed and have no access to proper healthcare. haha, what a joke country

[noldi123]

@xxxSLITxxx you said it all right.

[DaGoldC]

is it powered by urine

[plung3r]

the chinese will make one of these,

the only difference will be "made in china"

[AbuZgaef]

Civilians of the world, you have been warned!

[Zanzabilify]

another enginierin masterpiece for killing innocent children and women

[LosAngelasBasketball]

@Zanzabilify it's actually a new plane for the postal service... will help you get your mail sooner... so no innocent women and children were harmed in the making of this video..

[damnun]

@LosAngelasBasketball Marine Corps delivers mail?

[JBofBrisbane]

@Zanzabilify - How's the weather up there on the Moral High Ground?

[baniyas2011]

@Zanzabilify usa and israel love to kill people

[BareSandwich]

@Zanzabilify Yup thats all the military does right? create large war machines not to destroy countries but to kill innocent women and children. Not men, Just woman, children, puppies and all assortments of cute animals. Invading another country to protect OUR innocent women and children? Nope, we just die there because we're after the innocent. Is this really what you believe?

[nauski100]

@BareSandwich Yeah, Afghanistan is great threat for USA, and ofc USA military have not ever killed baby's, females and anyone else innocent person in afganistan. Is this really what you believe?

[BareSandwich]

@nauski100 Its war. In the end when you count losses, everyone loses. But its not Afghanistan that is the threat to us. Its the Taliban that have brainwashed themselves into terrorizing the U.S.. That is what 9/11 was and we don't want it to happen again. I'd much rather fight a war in a less populated country to minimize casualties rather than fight them here where the population is higher. We just have to quell the threat to innocent US lives.

[Phantasmos]

@BareSandwich, the Taliban were trained by the US back in the early 80's - Osama was in "that". Aside that, I coulda sworn the US said Al-Qaeeda was responsible for 911. I also recall that Iraq sponsored that attack or was it Iran - according to Hilarious. Someone whispered the attackers were Saudis! DOJ was on vacation, so all vacationers were given a green card t enter. Rumor was an FBI agent from Arizona warned DOJ and was given walking papers.

[Shadowgamer250]

@Zanzabilify your comment is full of fail...

[ReconTeam111]

@Zanzabilify

Stupid damn hippie can't even spell engineering right.

Screw you, we need to modernize our military.

[PSMegaGamer]

@Zanzabilify wow retard if we didnt have these jets we would be eff'd up

[Armando17717]

@Zanzabilify At least we don't blow ourselves up for no reason. You muslims send innocent children and women to kill themselves and other people.

[Armando17717]

@Zanzabilify and learn how to spell

[tlages]

@Zanzabilify I know isn't it great?

[makingitsnowy]

@Zanzabilify the u.s. milt. spends billions on precision weapons so as to minimize civilian casualties. don't comment on shit you no little about... and check your spelling.

[MrSuperkaji]

@makingitsnowy Why don't YOU check your spelling, last time I checked know was spelled K-N-O-W, not N-O.

[aaron8862006]

@Zanzabilify - Another hippy European who thinks he knows what's what.

[pilotboy8532]

@Zanzabilify good to see my brother putting his life on the line every day to be called a woman and child killer...ass hole

[HDaviator]

@pilotboy8532

Perhaps instead of going to Afghanistan, your brother should have stayed home and fought the only thing that threatens freedom in America, our government. The German empire fell long ago, there is no country that could be of any threat to the U.S. and therefore nothing that threatens our freedoms. You'r brother signed up to put his life on the line in a war with no clear purpose, no clear objective and no clear end. That is not bravery, that is foolishness.

[OlderG0ds]

@Zanzabilify You think that's impressive you should check out the new "baby buster" bombs we got , they can sense a babies cries from 1000 miles away and guide right into it.

If you don't shut your mouth you might be mistaken for a baby and be killed by them, be careful.

[bogmire777]

@Zanzabilify Thats what happens when you attack America, you get the shit kicked out of you.

[HDaviator]

@bogmire777

The people that attacked america died along with over 2,000 other people. What makes you think that an afghan sheep herder that has probably never seen a map in his life bares any responsibility to 9/11? You do realize that the 2 wars has only made America weaker, both economically and in its image around the world. Osama Bin Laden couldn't have done half of what George Bush accomplished in 8 years in office, which is to ensure the fall of our economic dominance and empire.

[bogmire777]

@HDaviator Im so not getting into this again, these arguments last too long, I will say this, as long as Islam exists, it threatens the West and Freedom.

[bogmire777]

@HDaviator AND, you think the terrorists on the plane were the only ones? thats just stupid, there are A LOT of them, but seriously, Ive had enough of these arguments, I wont reply to any more comments.

[snipski0894]

@bogmire777 So innocents should be killed? War mongering, American half-wit.

[bogmire777]

@snipski0894 LOL do you have any idea how many people the UK has killed? You invaded multiple countries and took them over, but you couldn't even hold on to them and your empire collapsed. ALSO, the UK officially supports the U.S.'s actions in the middle east. You sir, are the half-wit.

[snipski0894]

@bogmire777 I know my country has done horrible, evil things (like pretty much every nation) however the majority of Americans are blind idiots who support bullshit wars and write senseless, childish, war mongering comments on youtube. Much like yourself.

[bogmire777]

@snipski0894 No, the majority of Americans dont give in to this new apologize for everything, save every orphan at any cost mentality. Its destroying Western civilization, England opened its gates to hordes of immigrants, and tries to support every fat, lazy, worthless person with its welfare, and it is destroying itself, England has no where to go but down, and its because of people like you. Also, I'm aware my comment was not politically correct, I posted it to anger bleeding hearts like you.

[snipski0894]

@bogmire777 Nice assumption, I hate political correctness btw. You're pretty quick to put the blame on welfare "destroying Western civilization" yet you fail to look at countries where socialism does work e.g. Sweden, Norway, Germany, Netherlands, Finland etc. All of which have some of the highest HDI and living standards, far above that of the USA and the UK, perhaps its the selfish, greedy culture that we in these countries live in that is "destroying Western civilization"

[breakey81]

@Zanzabilify ur stupid

[Gauzl]

@Zanzabilify ok so the US is targeting innocent civilians as high priority targets?

[sunnymuffins13208]

@Zanzabilify The amount of effort you put into that though is virtually non-existent to the level of effort servicemen put into ensuring they don't hurt the wrong people.

[monkeyfist8]

Ignorant comments  er where

[Airshot06]

@RUconfuzed Move to China then, I'm sure they'll be very hospitable to you, maybe let you in on a couple of secrets,

[MrYoseef]

This jet will troll Iran.

[AccordGTR]

I heard this new jet is lousy when it comes to visual dog fights. It cannot take on SU-27, Mig 29 and other front-line fighters because it is not maneuverable or powerful enough. It's best bet is to remain undetected but that's not even a guarantee with the latest Russian radars and SAM's today

[with33]

@AccordGTR su-27 has been proven tobe an overhyped peice of russian shit and never went into production because of costs....

and mig 29 does not have latest stealth tech its an older model jet...

now the f-35 in moc fights have taken down 12 plus f-16s super hornets in a 1v16 and super hornets have proven tobe better then the mig 29 soooooo yah comeback for that?

second russias radar and sam systems are at there weakest since they were made...

[LosAngelasBasketball]

the jet fighter....name a military weapon that causes more 18 year olds to enlist

[sad4ewer]

its old shit show us real technology not this shit wich is 40 years old

[Gabe2590]

@eLLriDe420 Holy shit you are even more retarded then the guy you replied to. You civilians shouldn't be allowed to comment this kind of shit here.

F35 is always going to be a F35 you dipshit.

Just as a Chevrolet is going to be a Chevrolet. The only thing that changes are the models.

The only thing that changes is the models.

F35B is VTOL (it hovers for you who doesn't understand shit)

F35C is CV (for carrier operations)

And the F35A is for the Airforce

BTW: the F35 in the game IS the F35B.

[oakcliff621]

@Gabe2590 so in mwf3 the f-35 i see in there is the f35c right?

[XxAeronautxX]

There aren't any F-35's in MW3 according to the wiki. =/

[ScienceAlwaysWin]

goodbye F-22, hello F-35, now lets go kick some J-20 ass from China

[SVDShooter]

@ScienceAlwaysWin F22 is air superiority, meaning it's better at the F35 at dogfights.

[thatonebeone]

it fires urine at the Taliban

[FrontlineSniper01]

Well the F-35 looks good but it`s a piece of crap because it has less powerful engine than the Raptor but still it has a good mobility, and the plane should be on air shows not on missions.

[a8127]

What a POS !!!

[thrallingFRglory]

great but a tad expensive no ??

[GOGATORSFL]

@thrallingFRglory A lot less that the F-22, that's for sure.

[xXMrGamePlayerXx]

i heard these are completely useless....

[goldenhide]

In reply to the model comments: The A is the USAF's version. Its the baseline version with an internal gun. The B is the USMC version with STOVL capability and no gun. The C is the Navy version with enlarged flight surfaces for carrier operations and no internal gun. I still think all versions are absolute crap.

[usmcpound]

@goldenhide Yeah, some people are smart like that. Haha!

[mss319971]

@goldenhide gotta agree with you on that the f-35s are meant to be a cheaper and less able version of the f-22, which was produced in very low numbers but is the most capable fighter on the planet. However it just wasn't cost effective so now they have to cope with the f-35

[usmcpound]

I bet that guy (the pilot) feels like a pimp.

[soulcapacitor]

First model and there's already a B in the nomenclature. Haha!

[darkhorse0687]

Is it to late to say Dear Santa?

[vfIskullangel]

I can't to see these at Camp Pendleton. :)

[Sneekspar]

This is awesome...wonder What new features will the F-35C have?

[eightbowl]

No need for this jet complete waste of tax payer money. What new war will US justify for this plane? We need to drop more bombs on civilians?

[aimpointcx4444]

@eightbowl Shush, you. 

[futuref22pilot]

@eightbowl Boohoo. 

[eightbowl]

@futuref22pilot Again these stealth technologies were meant for war with Russia. Unless USA plans to go to war with Russia what is the fucking point in making these? Again USA is on the brink of collapse. Snap out of it. US government has you brainwashed into this war frenzy.

[SilentSnakeEyes]

@eightbowl This isn't a stealth fighter moron. It's a MUCH needed replacement for the Harrier, which has been used far beyond it's expected service life thanks to Marines.

[artitumis]

@SilentSnakeEyes Do a little research before you try to call someone a moron. The F35 is a stealth fighter and it is replacing many aircraft, not just the Harrier.

@eightbowl While stealth may have been developed during the Cold War, that doesn't mean that the technology is no longer needed. The key to warfare is to not loose your equipment used to take the fight to the enemy, whether that be people, tanks, or aircraft. Stealth is still valid tech and needed for future conflicts.

[SilentSnakeEyes]

@artitumis This F-35 is the F-35B. The other F-35A/C are not what are in this video. So yes, he is a moron. They are using the same base design for all branches, but the Marine Corps Version is a STOVL aircraft meaning the Marine version (the one shown here in this video) is in fact meant to replace the aging Harrier fleet. The Marine Corps cares more about the STOVL ability than they do about any inherent stealth designs.

[artitumis]

@SilentSnakeEyes I know all about what the Marines are looking for. I severed in the Marines for 9.5 years and ended my career recently in an aviation unit that will be servicing the JSF once it is delivered to the Fleet Marine Corps. It is replacing the F-18 Hornet as well and IS a stealth fighter. Your comment still doesn't justify calling anyone a moron.

[SilentSnakeEyes]

@artitumis Sure it does. And yes the Marines are purchasing some of the F35C's (less than 100) but mostly the B's (well over 300.) It has stealth but that is because it takes a LOT of it's design features from the F-22. The F-35 is basically a cheaper version since the F-22 was so expensive (altho still probly THE most advanced fighter in the world.) I also served in the Marines. Semper Fi. Like I said, Marines aren't really worried about the stealth capabilities of the F-35B.

[bujoun76]

@eightbowl Stealth technology is meant for war against Russian made fighters and radar installations no matter who's using it! The reason why stems from lessons learned from Isreal. The "enemy" used Russian radar to shoot down low flying planes with guns and against high altitude fast movers , with SAMs, to devistating effect!. America calculated a projected loss of well over 40% of air assets on week 1 in direct conflict against Russia. Hence the birth of stealthy aircraft! Progress must go on.

[Porty1119]

@eightbowl nope. I'm all for retiring UCAVs, but new manned fighters are a must. As for *US* justifying a war, check out what Iran is saying and doing. They're pretty much justifying the war all by themselves.

[Hollow465]

@eightbowl I couldn't agree more.

[quinxxer]

the lucky pilot who will be assigned to this jet. i envy you ever so much !

[Eigenteeld]

Is this thing that great that it wel be superior for 30 years ?

[wellerocks]

Why are the USMC getting the FRIP-models when the Bravo-versions still have massive problems?

[DeadChick100]

I'm looking forward to those awesome tail paints soon

[tzinanechumah]

Nice toy. Can I have a few? Israel.

[dymproductions]

@tzinanechumah Don't worry...Israel is getting a tone of them. 30 in order and another shit load being thought of

[tzinanechumah]

@dymproductions thanks! x0x00x

[crbassassin]

exciting news

[ZowyTheRottweiler]

can't wait until we het her! Altough I am gonna miss thé great F-16 :(

[akintomeatloaf]

...and yet the C model can't land on an aircraft carrier. At least they got this one right...

[salvation400]

@ingodwetrustwtiger Yes

[ingodwetrustwtiger]

Another great American warplane :)

[freshkryp69]

@vigorousatheist , " The US is going to pay more for each aircraft because we payed the most for research and development, which means we have sole subsidiary rights."

Hey dumbass, ditto! if you dont get it, ill get my 4yr old to explain it to you!

[MilitaryAircraft101]

I don't care, for all of its dogfighting disadvantages, it can climb and dive brilliantly, and with its great systems will be able to shoot down things behind it and run. Unfortunately, the days of dogfighting are not over, but those dogfights will become a smaller and smaller percentage until only 1 in 100 or less fights are dogfights...

[wellerocks]

@MilitaryAircraft101 Since when has the F-35 been able to climb, dive or maneuver brilliantly?? It has a dreadful wing-loading and the only reason to why it has the most powerful engine is to be able to fly at all with a huge and heavy airframe.

[belarepa]

@wellerocks What I remember that the test pilots sad its very like the hornet (not Superhornet!), so its should be quit good at manovering.

[wellerocks]

@belarepa That's the F-35C which has a much larger wing-span and lighter engine. The F-35A has poorer maneuverability than the F-16 and the F-35B has poorer maneuverability than the F/A-18.

[belarepa]

@wellerocks What I readed thats not true. And who said that where F35 test pilots.

So 4me till u dont have a better source the F35 in manovering like the F18 Hornet, and the Hornet is quite good in manovering (better then the Superhornet).

Anyway manovering is realy relevant in dogfight. And dogfight dont realy exist anymore + with DAS F35 manovering in dogfight is irrelevant. No plane turns faster then the pilots head.

[wellerocks]

@belarepa If maneuvering isn't considered "important" in "dogfighting" then why was the F-22 ever made? It uses superior maneuverability with thrust vectoring, it uses high speeds and its intended for BVR and WVR combat. And how come Russia, China, Europe and South Korea are all in the process of making 5th generation fighters with high maneuverability? And HMD's and high-off-bore-sight missiles are not something special with the F-35. Almost all 4.5 generation fighters uses it.

[belarepa]

@wellerocks "If maneuvering isn't considered "important" in "dogfighting" then why was the F-22 ever made?'

- F22 was not made because of dogfight. When an F22 has to be in a dogfight then sthing is wrong...

"If maneuvering isn't considered "important""

There was no DAS and AIM9xblock2 when the F22 was designed.

If you dont mind I inform you that Europe is not making 5gen fighter, we dont know much from the ROK 5gen fighter but az manovering it should be like the F16....

[wellerocks]

@belarepa And the F-35 has HUGE problems with its HMD, the JHMDS still has severe problems according to the latest JSF-report. DAS still isn't that spectacular. It looks a lot better than other systems, but 360° IRST, which does exist and is being put into service on the Eurofighter, the Gripen and the Rafale. Dogfights will be around for many more years to come as you still have to separate boogies from friendlies at a much closer range than the maximum engagement distance.

[belarepa]

@wellerocks ...imho J20 is even not a Fighter, it is in the F111 range, a long range missile carrier(no Thrust vevtoring), Su50 will be the only 5gen Fighter where manovering is on pair with the F22.

U can say it 100*times but u are wrong. The time of Dogfight is over. And if even not the F35 with DAS+aim9xblck2 will be one ot he best dogfighter. If not the best.

[bujoun76]

@belarepa Actually the SU-50 will have greater maneuverability than any fighter ever built similar to the MIG-29 OVT! But it will have deadly problems when and if it ever encounters an F-22 or F-35. It will be less stealthy, have inferior radar capabilities (especially against the F-35), and it will have a painfully lower thust-to-weight ratio against the F-22 in particular. Remember, the PAK-FA is still under development and the "production" model will be heavier.

[goldenhide]

@bujoun76 You realize current model Su-35s have a very powerful radar right? They aren't that behind on the radar game. And IMO "wannabe stealth" (i.e. "Low Observable" in the case of the F-35) does not make up for crap maneuverability and low production numbers. This is NOT made to be a fighter, its a strike fighter. As Yeager said, "Its the man not the machine."

[belarepa]

@bujoun76 Actually we dont know, Its in testing phase and Sergej B., istnt making any aircraft demo with it. :)

[bujoun76]

@belarepa If you're talking about the PAK-FA, it has done several demo's and they are very easy to find here on Youtube! The pilots are still getting comfortable with their prototypes so they dont go all out just yet.

[belarepa]

@bujoun76 If u check my message there is a name in it... Sergej B. What do you think who is he? :p

[bujoun76]

@belarepa Dont know who Sergej B. is. Enlighten me!

[belarepa]

@bujoun76 sergej bogdan is the PakFas main test pilot. When u see the PakFa is flyin 90% its him.

[belarepa]

@wellerocks The F35 will be ready, will get IOC in 2017-2018. They have another 5-6year to finish the DAS/Ami9x/JHMDS/Barracuda... systems.

PakFa still dont has any good BVR suite. The radar is not tested, the software suite is not completed,Im sure they want a new bvr misille for the pakfa. Then the pakfa will be useless in BVR fights? pf..

"Dogfights will be around for many more years to come as you still have to separate boogies from friendlies"

U know ANYTHING about IFF???

[wellerocks]

@belarepa And the F/A-18 itself isn't famous for its agility nor its maneuverability. In a clean configuration with no weapons and less than half a tank of fuel, sure, most fighter jets can do a show, but it's armed and fully fueled which counts. There, the F-35 significantly lacks the ability.

[MilitaryAircraft101]

@wellerocks And when a Su-35 is armed and fully loaded, with tanks and fuel and weapons, can it maneuver like at an airshow? Don't count on it. :)

[wellerocks]

@MilitaryAircraft101 Definitely not! And I've never implied so either. However, search on youtube for the Eurofighter, the Rafale or the Super Hornet for fully loaded air displays

[freshkryp69]

They cost WAY to much for the USA..!! Canada is going to pay 1/4 the price for the F35 than the USA! Should have just modded/updated the F22, with new engines, electronics etc!

[vigorousAtheist]

@freshkryp69

Canada's paying less for the f-35 because they're not buying the VTOL variant, which costs considerably more. The US is going to pay more for each aircraft because we payed the most for research and development, which means we have sole subsidiary rights. Meaning any country wanting to build the f-35 has to pay us from now on.

Stop talking about shit you don't know.

[starview1]

Quite the grocery getter

[Ironside451]

Sweet!

[stewartsas]

when and what model is Australia going to get?

[YoungJim409]

@stewartsas The same model no-one else will get when the whole project gets axed, just you watch.

[SkullKing11841]

@YoungJim409 It's not going to get axed, there's no alternative. They put all there eggs in one basket.

I would like to point out that even though the project has cost something like 400 Billion $, there building 3 5th generation aircraft and the there has been many countries involved.

[SkullKing11841]

@stewartsas It's not going to get axed, there's no alternative don't worry.

The RAAF is getting the F-35A.

Theres the

F-35A = Is the normal Air Force runway fighter like the F-16

F-35B = the harrier/jump jet version for small aircraft carriers and LHD's (With the 2 LHD's that the RAN is getting there is the possibility that they will get some F-35B's in the Future.)

F-35C = the Carrier version, it's a little bigger, has a stronger airframe and has the hooks for landing on a carrier

[SkullKing11841]

@stewartsas Oh and all the 100 F-35A's will be in operation in the RAAF around 2018-2020

[dewky1234]

@SkullKing11841 the RCAF will be getting theres starting 2016
