  • @aman2426 scraped :(

  • F-14 *nuff said*

  • @boffinboy100 'cause Lockheed Martin needs money. As much as it can get with as little of useful work as can be done.

  • Heh heh heHahahahahaha oh god! Haha :)

  • @LJSJIUJITSU

    F-86 is too old, still it would be a better aircraft than the F-35 because it can actualy shoot down other planes but it's just too old. It's technology was suitable for the Korean war and to some extent Vietnam but not for a modern combat.

  • @TheMarelis

    I say they bring back the F-86 Sabre and update that design with more modern avionics. I think it would be a great aircraft.

  • @boffinboy100

    Sadly Harrier was retired, it was such a good airplane, first of its kind ... I think the only thing USAF and USN needs to do now is to replace F-18 Hornets with SuperHornets. They are only half the cost of the F-35 and above all else are battle-proven. Hell, this F-35 (aka shit) costs about the same as F-22 Raptor and I bet you it's not even half as good even though the F-22 has never been to combat

  • @TheMarelis

    you've got a good point.

  • @TheMarelis

    There have been only 3 successful modern close support machines: A10, Su25, Harrier GR--. for close support, you don't really need stealth, and although the Harrier does have an IR problem, why spend $bn on fewer F35s when you can upgrade the current ones?

  • Honestly, I think that the F35 is just an attempt to re-invent the Harrier. Only much more expensive and crapier.
