First RAF pilot flies Joint Strike Fighter

[thegamesgecko]

Problaem?

[konischev]

this plane has cost sooo many budget problems it should be cancelled. screw all the NATO countries, let them build their own 5th gen fighters and we should take that money and just build a ton of f-22's which are a hell of a lot better

[Saxonsoldiers]

@konischev Well if you going to be an idiot about it we'll have back the BaE developed parts of the F35! Its jointly developed so it would not get far if we suddenly withdrew our parts. Plus we'd take back the Harrier, Canberra, silent sub propulsion and Chobham armour, that again is British but keeps your tanks from being knocked out.

[konischev]

@Saxonsoldiers shit take back your f-35 parts..i dont like the f-35. maybe you should take your 3 or 4 little parts and make your own whole plane. oh and and this is 2011 dude we dont use the harrier. if you want to take that back your going to have to go into our museums. and joint is mainly for money. almost no country is doing anything to help with development is like 98% american and a little bit of BAE systems parts.

[Saxonsoldiers]

@konischev yeah ok, 98% American?? hahahahaha! And your marines DO still use the Harrier lol. Your subs would be fucked without their British propulsion, your Abrams tanks would be up shit creek too (even though we sold you a very very basic version of Chobham armour, armour that has now been superceded by Dorchester Armour....Which we have not sold to you thank god). I could go on and on, basically if we did not exist you'd be a very technology deprived country lmao.

[konischev]

@Saxonsoldiers Brit Calm down...BAE systems make some parts ok? We make overall equipment something you guys cant do. I mean shit your Eurofighter took the effort of...4 countries? and you basically use all our helicopters. Like i said we make almost all our own stuff you guys help us out with parts here and there. You guys cant invent shit just parts. Thats why you cant build your own 5th generation fighter and have to invest in one

[Saxonsoldiers]

@konischev And the Apache helicopters we brought from you we've actually bettered! To the point that American forces are in the process of buying the British rotar blades we fit to OUR apache's because they exceed yours. Also we use Rolls Royce engines in ours, again the performance is enhanced to eclipse your Apaches. "We build all our own stuff" Yeah thats why your government started crying and whining when we refused to sell you the Type 45 destroyer (best in the world by the way) Yank twat!

[konischev]

@Saxonsoldiers wait...whos Apache helicopters? thats right OUR...AMERICAN APACHE helicopters. once gain you just proved my point. all you guys can do is make parts, by messing with them in our Apache helicopters. their still made in the US you dumb British bitch. And thats one and ONLY thing your country can make is Navy ships i will give you that. However in the air its our game, you guys cant invent shit but parts.

[Saxonsoldiers]

@konischev Shows how in touch you are with anything military that you think YOU still make the Apache's. They're made over here by Agusta Westland dickhead. Look it up. The first couple were exported, now we build our own, HERE! I saw quite a funny video the other day, about the F35 being shown to the public with the tagline "Brand new technology makes first vertical take off aircraft"......But its only brand new in that we did it 40 years before you lol. Now run along you AIDS infested prick!

[konischev]

@Saxonsoldiers it dont matter that you know manufacture Apche's the truth is their still ours you guys are just copying the designs and adding your own engine is all. One again just parts you guys cant INVENT shit...COPYING is another thing anyone can do that. and the vertical takeoff was taken from its father air craft the Russian yak-141. yes you guys built the concept idea for STVOL however it only has it because its predecessor had it. the plane it was based of

[Saxonsoldiers]

@konischev My god you Americans really are as pig shit stupid as the world says. We cant invent anything? We invented vertical take off technology you fucking hillbilly. BaE were asked because we have the experience where as you lack (and brains too lmao). Your subs would be screwed so would your tanks (even though we sold you a very very basic version becvause you could not be trusted with the full version). CONT

[07af1]

@ zebadee277 tha RAF would tw@t the usaf eurofighter vs f22 shitter

[ClarksonsinUSA]

@TheKoRrUpTeD1 none of the documents were secrete,it was just chatter between Washington and the embassy's...

[callofdutyguy9]

Lols u Brits can only wish

[ClarksonsinUSA]

i don't know if exporting Stealth is a good idea, hopefully our allies will safe guard the secrets that cost so much to develop..>?????

[zebadee277]

@ClarksonsinUSA well to be fair the US did loose a F117 over bosnia to an old SA2 sam, and im sure it will only be a few yrs before you sell them to Israel

[ClarksonsinUSA]

@zebadee277 Are you good at math?????? The f117 flew 1700 combat missions with one loss,that would give it a success rate of 99.999999999999%..Pretty much invincible.....

[zebadee277]

@ClarksonsinUSA then i guess it got lucky 1699 times, any way you cut it, a multi billion dollar plane got splashed by a cheap missle designed in the 60's, im sure they made a few ££ selling what was left of it on the black market. my point is no point bitching about the USA's "allies" safe guarding the tech when you have allready lost some of it, and will prob sell it to any1 who can afford it anyway

[ClarksonsinUSA]

@zebadee277 You seem slow??????

99.9999999% ,no other combat aircraft in the history of the world has flown into battle this many times with this kind of success ..Please check the facts.....

;)

[LTcrisp17]

so when acturly will this plane be in service for the RAF

[bujoun76]

I bet this Brit doesn't want to go back to a non-stealthy fighter like the Eurofighter.

[AngloSaxonUnion]

I bet he does, Typhoon is a great Air craft.

[MegaRaf2009]

@bujoun76 this aircraft is only 20% stealth so it can stil be tracked plus the typhoons would be miles better than this f35 in dogfights and everything eles and even better than the f22 as well its the truth dont try and change it the typhoon has dominated everyting whats gone up agesit it ok,,

[darkj3am]

@MegaRaf2009 this plane can lock targets at 360 degree-_- it dont need maneuverability.. its technology is more advance than the Typhon... typhon is only more maneuverable. this is a gay plane:P it will not and never go toe to toe with other fighter jets :P it will shoot and run...

[zebadee277]

@darkj3am providing it gets a hit with its 2 missiles because if it has any more than the 2 they need to be maunted externaly and that compromises its stealth. Typhoon can be armed with atleast 8 AMRAAM's and has a cannon to fall back on

[zebadee277]

@MegaRaf2009 i agree, as iv been informed by friends in the RAF that Typhoons have trained in agresser roles against F22's and the EF2K could get target locks from AMRAAM range. ppl dont get that the F35 only has space for 2 missiles internal and once you start putting them external it compromises the stealth, plus the VTOL f35 has no cannon

[fmoa]

@zebadee277 LOL..you do know only F-16's play role of aggressors or red force at red flag..no foreign nation played aggressor role at red flag buddy..its allied nations like uk,u.s,india,s.korea,japan,sin­gapore,israel n france vs aggressors F-16's flown by u.s instructors,sometimes aggressor use F-15's n thats it..there were no foreign nation to played aggressor..i think you just pull some bullshit information out yo ass eh.

[fmoa]

@MegaRaf2009 f22 n ef never engage in mock dogfights..ef were tested against f15's n thats it,both show up at red flag 2008..but were never pitted against each other,there was joint-military exercise in uae last yr n you know what..rafale beat ef wit 7 wins-2 losses..people that say ef is better than f35 are stupid jealous brits..f35 have the das system,more advance electronic warfare system,better radar,better high-off boresight missile the aim-9x than uk asraam..u.s aim-9x is agile than asraam

[Saxonsoldiers]

@fmoa Stupid Brits??? As i said to the other deluded yank (from the poor use of spelling and grammar in your comment i'm going to call you the "uneducated yank" lol) the F35 was a joint British and American development so you're not in any position to be gobbing off at us. Also an American pilot who flew a Eurofighter admitted himself that its better than anything in Americas current arsenal.

[Spears646]

all we need now is F22 and we are sweet

[Jeneral28]

no there are other plans that can match this.

[Jack2488]

None in the hands of a potential enemy though :) So what ever the best planes in our fleet are, is just academic.

We, and our allies, have the best in the world.

[JETWASH111]

@Jeneral28 No other plan has the vertical capability or stealth.Russians have the T-50 but are some 5 years away from production.

[fmoa]

@JETWASH111 not only t-50 is 5 yrs away,by the time it comes out,it will already be obsolete when compare to f-22 n f-35,no bullshit mate,why,5 yrs from now,f22 n f35 will already be upgraded wit far more advance avionics than what the t-50 av,anyways,this jet is excellent,people like to say its not highly agile,but the plane was design to engage enemy from all directions wit its das systems,jhmcs n high-off boresight aam like the aim-9x,this jet gonna be deadly.

[bondsan]

the moment an RAF pilot sat down in the cockpit this became the best plane in the world, up until then it was only an excellent plane.

[ImperialPizarro]

Ver well said. You know... Never was so much owed by so many to so few....

[konischev]

@bondsan its not the best of anything, the plane is good and its a stretch saying even that...
