You know that's why I haven't taken the public criticism of the F-35 that seriously. I remember back in the 80s when the B2 was first announced and then the F-117. There was all this noise about how stealth is useless and the Russians already have radarsat could see them and blah blah blah. Turned out that those Radars might know that something was in the area, but they were useless as far as locating it much less targeting it. No doubt the F-35 has some issues. But they're being addressed, and you're going to have issues with something that is that bleeding edge. All these complaints that an F-16 can beat it and stuff like that ignore the fact that this is not a dog fighting plane. It's going to kill you long before you get within dogfighting range.

The USA should help Israel any way possible in order to protect their State. They are fighting for their lives.

[@theprogressivecynic2407]

The reason that Israel has the right to modify US blackbox tech like the F-35 is simple--they agreed to make any modifications outside of any copyright and with full transparency. Basically, they agree that any alterations they make and systems they add will be fully explained and handed over to the US and Lockheed. This works out extremely well for all parties, as it means that Lockheed gets millions of dollars in free R&D/stress testing for their product, which they can apply to any future projects. Similarly, it benefits the US because any upgrades that Israel has (and has proven effective in combat) can be freely installed on US F-35s for our use, at no cost. Basically, we get combat-proven upgrades, for free, with the only caveat being that Israel is given access to the F-35 blackbox systems. Ironically, this created a bit of an issue a couple years ago, as a couple NATO countries wanted access to the upgraded systems developed by the IDF, but the US blocked it because they wanted to keep exclusivity, meaning that we are effectively treating the upgrades as we would a domestic variant blackbox tech. *blackbox tech just means restricted military technology that is typically only accessible by the creator nation. We may sell it to some other countries, but they can't access the internal systems and need to send them to the US for repairs because they aren't even allowed to know how they work. Some blackbox tech is even more restricted and is domestic-use only (eg. depleted uranium armor on US Abrams or F-22s).

[@theprogressivecynic2407]

No, the pork barrel and MIC loves it. Any changes made by the IDF need to be reported and shared, and so Lockheed Martin is basically getting free upgrades that they can put in the domestic F-35s, as well as future US projects. This means that their systems get free bug fixes, upgrades, and stress testing, and they don't need to lift a finger or pay a cent for it. For example, if the US locates an issue in the jet during their operations, they need to contact the manufacturer to request a fix, which often takes time and money; conversely, if the IDF locates the same issue, they can develop a fix themselves, test it, and implement it, and then Lockheed gets to apply that fix to US jets, avoiding the costs associated with dealing with the problem.

[@BravoTango3086]

@@dualaccumulator the F-35 is a 5th generation fighter jet. F22 and F35's are the only American 5th generation fighter jets and the B21 Raider is the worlds first 6th generation aircraft. An F16 for example is a 4th generation fighter currently until they upgrade it again which im sure they will.

@@Joshua-dt5vi Idk, but if I were a betting man give me the F22 in a fight over the F35 with the pilots being equal in skill. Its faster than the 35 for sure...

[@Joshua-dt5vi]

@@CETGale There was a reason why the F-35 was made slower, because most aircraft cruise at around Mach 1.3 and the F-35 also save more fuel. Did you know that the F-22 used to be able to go up to Mach 2.8 but was later nerfed to mach 2.2 because in the modern battle field speed doesn't matter the only thing you'll be doing is having your enemy detect you even faster.

[@michaelhopf3249]

Good video! I guess one way to enhance the F 35I's range and survivability would be the use of a "customized" Israeli version of Boeing's stealthy MQ 25 Stingray tanker-drone. More stealthy, and with a restricted offensive capability in SEAD/DEAD operations in an accompanying secondary role. I would not wonder if......

They mentioned the F-35 as 4th Gen when it's a 5th Gen aircraft.

[@bighands69]

That is nonsense. Israel is modifying the aircraft to their own local needs. It has nothing to do with the US building lesser aircraft.

[@leftistsarenotpeople]

@@bighands69 Do you not think the U.S. military/industrial liaison personnel are not embedded all throughout Israeli military industrial apparatus'? They are so far intertwined they know when the Prime Minster takes a dump and how many times... or if... he wipes! It makes sense too because how else would Israel even continue to exist at this point without US military industrial innovations keeping that sliver of land functioning amid a sea of sharks for so long. There HAS to be excessively close cooperation to achieve that for all these years. Yes, Israel is a sovereign land but I wager that as far as their current existence goes, BOEING and other American aerospace tech companies like it are just as important as the synagogues that blanket the nation.

[@bighands69]

@@leftistsarenotpeople Israel is market economy in a region that is not culturally a market economy. Israel has a GDP of $55000 per year that is not built on oil money. The US has industrial integration in every developed economy in the world and without US support those places never would have become as sophisticated as they have done. The Chinese economy cannot exist without US support either.

[@leftistsarenotpeople]

@@bighands69 Now that is a HUGE nugget of truth, for sure. Admitting that in this social climate is enough to make any degenerate leftist head spin. OF course, what you speak of had its uses, and still does to a degree, but I can help but think now that the system that has developed under the network you speak of has become corrupted to the point of being dangerous to the average John Q. Citizen of EVERY developed nation. What was put into motion to rebuild and strengthen Western society, begun after The Great War and perfected after WWII, has now become a monster of its own design and I'm afraid if it isn't aggressively dismantled, or at least reduced in structure, it is going to swallow us all under the boot of ACTUAL tyranny. EVERY great idea usually starts off with benevolence but given enough time AND money, it WILL be corrupted. That is just the history of mankind in a nutshell.

​@@bighands69 but the US DOES build lesser quality equipment compared with the Israeli people 😂 You have your shit built by the lowest bidder on a government contract.....
