I remember those long debates on the efficacy of these partnerships on DFI, guess this settles it.

Taking in to consideration the avionics and it's capabilities... this damn thing don't even need to manouver to shot missiles to the enemy behind it! So yeah, besides F-22A, F-35 is one of the two most advanced fighters ever made...

But yeah I know, Carlo Kopp biased articles made one step, then small ones hatred to US + lack of any knowledge about design itself and how difficult is to design modern weapon system makes the trick, and ignorants make their statements...

Maybe I will remind our firend that teething problems have any weapon system that is completely new and use completely new technologies (yeah, it maybe will be shocking to ignorants but Stealth technology is also evolving, new materials are designed etc.)...

All those news reports & top defense sources were wrong now it seems. All was cooked up ! Can anybody make me think otherwise?

There is no partnership offer in NATO shield or JSF. Why should we go for it then?
