Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II Part 2

[vistarox]

What a beautiful weapon

[WUDJABEABLE]

I love the euipment the U.S. Has in it's locker

[Saffronwing1]

They should have considered the same long wings for the A variant that they have for the C variant. That length of wings is required for the JSF to be able to utilize better lift without draining too much.

The B version is totally useless. It has sucked most of the funding and still not a concrete development.

[MegaBuckBuck1]

While the VSTOL version is "nifty", it's a concept that has no validity in todays (or even 20 years ago) combat environment. Just follow the Harrier's uselessness. It cuts into load capability, range and endurance and it's easy to shoot down with the proverbial golden bb. Keep the A and C models and be done with it.

[edj66]

@MegaBuckBuck1 The Harrier is hardly useless...I think it's proved itself to be more than capable enough for a multitude of military excursions....

[Gpierrot1]

Robotech

[xsf908]

2:54 F-35 is last realy ? So in the future human pilots are out work.

[rantanamo]

The C looks the best with the longer wings

[EvilxMerlin]

@Analog32

LOL, are you serious? Do you know how difficult the Harrier is to build, let alone fly??? It can fly faster, further and is more manuverable than the Harrier, it carries a better weapons load, a better avionics system, uses less fuel and is less senstive to combat damage. Educate yourself before opening your pie hole.

[EvilxMerlin]

@Analog32

Get back to us when you have a clue what you are talking about. The F-35 is can fly faster, further and is more manuverable than the Harrier, it carries a better weapons load, a better avionics system, uses less fuel and is less senstive to combat damage. Those are FACTS.

[EvilxMerlin]

@Analog32

Funny how England is the 2nd largest buyer of the F-35. Newsflash, the Typhoon is even more expensive unit per unit than the F-22, and doesn't have the capabilities of either the F-22 or F-35. Thats gotta suck.

[EvilxMerlin]

@Analog32

The F-15, F-16, F-18 (not the Super Bug) are all nearly 40 years old. The Mig 26 and Su 27 about the same. The Su 35 isn't even in full production. Hell there are more F-22's than Su-35s, and the Su 35 doesn't even compete with the F-35. The Typhoon is a DECENT plane, but its WAY overpriced, has a shitty radar system even with tranche 3 can't compete 100% with even the latest block F-16. England is still planning on buying over 100 of the 35c's. Check your facts bub.

[EvilxMerlin]

@Analog32

PS as for the best fighter ever? That would be the F-15. 104 kills to 0 losses. NO other plane in the air can say that.

[SuperBomber01]

@EvilxMerlin To be precise, 2 F-15s were lost to ground fire back in the Gulf War, 1991. But even then, 2 losses isn't really much.

[EvilxMerlin]

@SuperBomber01

Both F-15s lost in the ground war were in fact Mud Hens, not the fighter version of the F-15, and they were shot down by A2A, thus the record still stands as one of the only fighters to never have been shot down by another.

[SuperBomber01]

@EvilxMerlin I'm assuming as in Mud Hens, you mean the Strike Eagle variants. If you were strictly referring to the C version, then I stand corrected.

[EvilxMerlin]

@SuperBomber01 Mud Hens are indeed the Strike Eagles, we call them Mud Hens in the service. The Mud Hens are the E versions. NO air superiority versions of the F-15 (A/B/C/D models) have been shot down by enemy forces.

[SuperBomber01]

@EvilxMerlin Curiously, why are the E versions called Mud Hens anyway?

[EvilxMerlin]

@SuperBomber01

Usually ground attack aircraft are called Mud Movers, the F-15 is the Eagle, thus Mud Hen.

[Akshole]

We know it was vulnerable to Bruce Willis, They've fixed that.

[OliByGolly1]

@Akshole Is this what he was jumped out of in in Die hard ?

[Akshole]

@OliByGolly1 No, that was the X-35.

[devastationz12349]

nice looking plane, but i think it's vulnerable to Bruce Willis

[NuclearG00se]

@vk45de

No it's not, it says in the video it's a quarter of the price for an F-22 Raptor.

[TheXexxo]

uff , where iz the next part of the

documentary man !??????

[PSV7200]

@TheXexxo Yea jaglavaksoldier U BETTER REPLY OR I'll go EMOU!!! haha lolz

[jaglavaksoldier]

@TheXexxo That was it for the F-35...

[TheXexxo]

-_- if this was it then y the documentary ended all of a sudden , there are the credits !?

[vk45de]

50 million dollar? my dick, it's more expensive than the raptor

[BucksOrDie2150]

@vk45de

try 105 million.

[TheOscarrek]

the israeli variant will be the bast it will have israeli technology and will be great

[ResiusOnline]

@TheOscarrek

Actually, they will not be changing the technology, the Israelis will just be allowed to add SOME stuff on, not modify anything.

The US make the rules, the Israelis follow them.

[manokorre]

i think the Rafale better

[KiloByte69]

@manokorre

You mean the aircraft no air force besides France wants to buy?

[manokorre]

@KiloByte69 Brasil will buy

[KiloByte69]

@manokorre

That hasn't been confirmed. If Brazil knows what's best for itself they'll go with what they're currently leaning towards, the Gripen.

[kokohero]

@KiloByte69 I wouldn't be surprized if Brazil bought Rafale. But if they did it would not have anything to do with it's performence. It's just about politics and bribes

[ResiusOnline]

@manokorre

It's nowhere NEAR.

[MasterJay08]

Yea, those are definitely in mind if I somehow happen to not end up as a fighter pilot. But I gotta go with the flying 1st cause it's my favorite passion .

[MasterJay08]

Well, I better bust my ass off for these last 2 years of high school to get into the Air Force academy, and become one of the last fighter pilots.

[BaneOfFreeSpeech]

@MasterJay08 good luck. you have a better chance of becoming a navy seal or Army SF...

[Akleptose]

@odst121 nice joke?!

do u know how expensive a missile is?!

so how much do u think it cost huh?

2million?

[MasterJay08]

@Akleptose Makes you think about how wealthy we are. Our country probably has over a $Zillion :D

[Elitepoosniff]

@MasterJay08 13 trillion . . . lol nearly

[BaneOfFreeSpeech]

@MasterJay08 your dead wrong. its called debt. and we have the most(america). More then any other country in the world. But we keep printing our own money and our bills are worthless and we have upwards of 1000 times more money in circulation then we could possibly have gold for.not even counting military spending which is never in cash...there is no way we have that kind of money.
