See that is the question? Why do they need separate marine infantry why couldn't US army lend them an infantry when required. Same goes for air support. The same marines were fighting terrorists on land in Afghanistan nothing naval about it. I think this is just US military's way to...

Why do Marine corps even need a separate air force !! Marine corps themselves are an army for us navy.( Besides the actual US army). US navy itself has a very large airforce. Besides the actual US air force . Americans are a very confused bunch.

Ooh . This is going to be fun to watch.

They are very abundant . Just no one wanted to invest into mining them because of cheap Chinese supply.

Ruble has collapsed so much that it is now equal to rupee 1 to 1 hence dollar figure are less. But even then this is state propaganda. Su57 might not be true stealth but it's a very capable jet with powerful engines and multiple aesa arrays.

Good thing for them is that Russia has no money or reason to attack Europe and china has no reach. But it's much more concerning for Japan. Which is perhaps it wanted f22 so bad .

That's pretty damning for countries who only have f35 and no f22!!

That's one reason. F22 and su57 are very large birds with huge internal fuel quantity. Yet both developed new engines to enable supercruise. Because they both know that a fighter going on after burner is no longer stealth .

I'm not saying it will absorb all radar frequency either . What I'm saying is that hypersonic missile will generate plasma shield when they move at higher Mach velocities . How effective will it be who knows? Can it be done away with? I'm not sure. Plasma will be there stealthy or not.

I was specifically talking about afterburner IR signature which is important for f35 as it can't supercruise in case of Arial engagement. Why so much insistence on supercruise in stealth planes that everyone is developing a new engine to enable supercruise if IR signature can be suppressed so...

I'm aware of the tech. Now let me again educate you why it never went mainstream. Because to sustain plasma cover is a maintainance nightmare. A lot of tech makes experimental / limited debut but never is useful for any practical purposes. F35 is already maintenance intensive adding such...

And to this day usaf hasn't fought a war with a peer adversary . So we don't really know how effective is sead is against systems deployed by Russia in last 4-5 years.

Lol if USA didn't wanted turkey to use f35 why would include turkey in production program and allow turkey to produce sub components for years while training Turkish pilots to fly f35 in USA. lol Explain that first. Lol.

Huh ? How did USA evade Russian manuver by forsaking order of 100 f35 and removing turkey from production( which imposed both costs and delays on f35) ? What kind of logic is this? The fact is this USA is shit scared having f35 anywhere near a s400 class system. BTW it's not just photo...

Time for some education. Why was it a tu142 and not a fighter jet that Russia send? Because the objective is not to use fighter radar to map f35 but rather obtaining high resolution images of f35 flying from all kind of cameras ( thermal ,image , infrared , passive tv and many more )...

Lol Russian will keep doing this untill they have full signature of f35.

Yup and they have a rather long time line to catch it up. Btw NATO has still not shown how it will re-orient itself against China. Most European countries are in bed with China like Italy . Germany has deep trade ties with China. So how will NATO meet China challenge. It seems UK is bowing...

Same logic then goes for Germany .

Why not buy f35 for RAF too? What lacking in f35 ??

Germany doesn't spend more for defence because it's massive compared to other European countries. Just increasing German defence budget to 2 % of GDP will put it far ahead of France or UK in spending. Which can be threatening to smaller European nations. Again Germany build eurofighters not...
