[@toddabbott781]

There are a lot of other missiles and bombs too that make the F-35 so powerful. Not only new stuff, but stuff released recently, like the CHAMP cruise missile, AGM-158 JASSM XR cruise missile, or the GBU-53/B StormBreaker small diameter glide bomb. But also newer hypersonic weapons like the AIM-260 and Hypersonic Air-breathing Weapon Concept (HAWC) cruise missile. All the cruise missiles are too big to fit inside the F-35 weapon bays, but they can fit externally and they all have ranges of 1000-1750 miles. The Stormbreaker fits in place of 2 AIM-120, 260, or 1000 pound JDM. These new AIM-260 missiles are about 1-1.5" wider, but have much smaller fins and the fins in the back fold. They are smaller around than the 1000 pound JDAMS too. The other thing is I think they are making this a multi-role missile... so it can be fired from air, ground, or sea at any air, ground or sea target (and possibly radar). So it might have a timed fuse and duel warhead like the GBU-53/B has as well as multiple tracking and guidance capabilities. With a speed of Mach 5 and a range of 200km this is a HUGE upgrade for the AIM-120... and if it is a multi-role missile they will be ordering possibly over 100,000 of them. This would improve defenses on carriers and missile cruisers and make, improve fixed and mobile launchers, and improve F-15, 16, 18, 22, and 35 fighter jets. I get mixed information, but it sounds like the F-35 A and C can fit 5 in each bay (or 4 and 1-2 AIM-9). If they put a 2000 pound JDAM in there they can only fit 1 AIM120 or 260 or 1-2 AIM-9. I say 1-2 AIM-9 as I saw a drawing showing the weapon mount for the AIM-9 holding 1 in some configurations or 2 in others. The B version I am unsure about as it can only carry a 1000 pound JDAM. It might be it can only carry 2 AIM-120 and 1 AIM--9, which is a bit disappointing if true, but would still be FAR better than a Harrier or Apache for weapons, speed, stealth, range...That said an F-35. I saw a diagram of the F-35C with 8 AIM-120 and 4 AIM-9... or 2 AIM-120 and 2 2000 pound JDAMS... or 2 AIM-120 and 16 250 JDAMS (possibly the same number of Stormbreakers)... or 2 AIM-9, 4 AIM-120, and 4 1000 pound JDAMS internally. The external mounts can carry 5000, 2000, and 300 on each wing. So technically it should be able to fit 2 AIM-9 plus 4 cruise missiles externally (as they are only 1000 pounds each)... or 8 AIM-120, or 4 2000 pound JDAMS, or 8 1000 pound JDAMS... or 24 250 pound JDAMS... or 16 GBU-53/B externally. This makes the F-35 a beast. Add in the ability to link fire control and radar systems with other jets and radar systems as well as advanced sensors, 360 degree IR vision, electronic warfare built in, and advanced stealth FAR better than the J-20 and Su-57. We still need a replacement for the AIM-9 too.

Respect Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders. 2. Refrain from the threat or the use of force against Ukraine. 3. Refrain from using economic pressure on Ukraine to influence their politics. 4. Seek immediate Security Council action to provide assistance to Ukraine if they "should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used". 5. Refrain from the use of nuclear arms against Ukraine. 6. Consult with one another if questions arise regarding those commitments. China and France gave somewhat weaker individual assurances in separate documents. US and UK are fulfilling points 4 and 6 in accordance with Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum.

J-17) . A better or even fair comparison would be the new Chinese PL-21(ARG) Ultra long range BVR missiles, which serve a very similar role as it's American counterpart and which is entering its early test stage seen on various platforms(J-16s, J-31, J-20), even the older soviet R-37s would be a better comparison than the PL-15.

We need to quietly start training Taiwan pilots on the F35's. Bring 40-50 back to the US and train them here. Then we would be in a position to lend to Taiwan a few squadrons if it looks like war is imminent.

[@stevenoverlord]

I agree in merit but that would probably accelerate the conflict and make China invade before they can utilize that tech

[@jacksonteller1337]

They don't need the F-35A maybe the B. The F-16 they operate have the same avionics as the F-35A and they will soon have about 200 of those. Over 140 older models are upgraded, over half already are done, and 66 new ones will soon be delivered.

F-35C has nothing to do with F-35A. UK's F-35B incident was a ground staff error when one of the rain covers blocked one of the engine inlets.

@@valenrn8657 i am really suspicious of that though. Can their sailors really be that incompetent? These covers are usually some kind of vibrant color where it would be extremely hard to not notice.

Well, maybe the f35 should be made with a bit more length. Why I say this is, more fuel, more audanance . It's distance is still limited, unless , Stealth fuel drop tanks are used. It's just my own thoughts but I feel it is limited on a few platforms.

Despite excellent public relations and better publicity damage control. The news keeps leaking out the the CTOL versions of the F-35 are a real disappointment to the Navy and the Airforce. Photos of F-35 fighters doing air operations on a CVN at sea. Hides the fact, that only one has been modified to safely operate the F-35. The F-14 was retired as it's operational costs were greater than the F-18. Well the F-35 operating costs make the F-14 a bargain. These are great weapons that can be used by any effective military aircraft. But it's unlikely that they will solve the problems of F-35.

@@MarineScoutSniper The problem about discussing problems with a new airframe is. All fully validated information is classified. That having been said, a number of bad things. Have been leaked to the public. 1. The plane is easier to detect than it's supposed to be. 2. Flying at speeds greater than Mach 1, causes the stealth paint to peel off. So the longer you fly it, the more detectable it gets. 3. The engine can run hot enough to melt parts of the airframe. 4. Excessive operating costs greater than 30,000 dollars/hr 5. Gas and go turn-around reliability is very low.

4:28 The AIM 260 - Right, let's talk about that. The AMRAAM 120-D is the current medium range US bvr air-to-air missile, which is currently outclassed by a number of foreign missiles available to other Air Forces. For example, European NATO Air Forces have access (except not F-35s!) to the formidable BVRAAM Meteor! This missile outclasses AIM 120-D in almost ALL counters, and that includes all other missiles currently in this class. This is beyond dispute. Now, you claim the US is about to field the new batch of missiles that have been reported on KZbin for some time. Currently, however, there is VERY little indication of much progress towards finality in ANY of these projects. "Currently undergoing testing" - we all know that phrase hides any number of meanings, and history tells us that these programmes are actually merely in the beginning phase of their development. Extrapolate that in the real world and we get - a vague possibility that we might actually see a prototype by the end of the decade (2030), after which it will be some years before they get Govt approval to move forward (depending on which party controls the purse strings)! So, it's highly unlikely that these "New" missiles will be seen on operational fighters in squadrons before 2034-2035, or even later! In the meantime, European NATO Air Forces are screaming blue murder for the ability to use Meteor on their increasing number of F-35s, only to be frustrated by the answer of, "No, not currently possible!" So, when will it be possible? Well, the vague answer (the best we can hope for), is that at the very earliest this MIGHT happen with the Block 4 F-35s which are in the pipeline. But, this pipeline is already stretching and is unlikely to be ready by the end of 2027 at the earliest (without Meteor enablement)! To add Meteor capability it would require a substantial extra sub-project which WILL extend the date even further, by who knows how much! Maybe even postponed beyond Block 4. Additionally, there is NO possibility of upgrading F-35s already purchased to Meteor enablement! So, "Unstoppable!" ? That is a pipe dream!
