The moment history is made at RAF Marham

Watch as the F-35 Lightning fighter jets land in West Norfolk and hear what it means for our county

Waiting for more news . But a Positive Achievement for many Satisfying.

People are missing the point. It's the AESA radar that makes the F-35 deadly not its dogfighting ability. It kills by stealth. Say for example the SU 35 vs the F-35. The SU 35 has a radar range of 30 miles vs the F-35's 186 miles. Who do you think is going to evade first then lock on and fire its missile on the enemy first? The F-35 of course.

YaHee YaHEE! NICE!! 😊

It will be interesting to see how the F-35 performs in a dogfight scenario against the Typhoon, and if the results would be classified ? It may not be billed as a dogfighter, but you never know when it may be called in to do that role. Also not as stealthy as claimed. Oh well, only time will tell. It's what the top brass wanted, although they don't have to fly it.

[@MrBen527]

Even the worst pilot in the seat of an F-35 has an advantage over a good pilot in a legacy aircraft.

[@armchairgeneral7557]

Not as stealthy as claimed? Who in the world told you that? 20-1 win ratio at red flag events. That is all that is important and you need to know.

[@dadsonworldwide3238]

tectorama. IT Wont ever be engaged in visual sight. Unless it's on a return without after releasing all its payload. Isreal flew over hezbulla Lebonon into syria passed Russia and Syrian defenses and anhialated Irans bases with it so that was a awesome first live combat run. No doubt even russia would be tried to hit it cause of the propaganda it would've created would have been worth the anger.

Its lightning fast mind

[@craiganthonyhill]

The US, will always know of there movements. Do you think for a moment trackers are not fitted to exports

[@barriefrench3371]

lets just wait till the first "Untouchable" f35 is knocked out of the sky,like the wonder weapon f-117.

[@humansrants1694]

One F-117 shot down out of hundreds of missions isn't a bad performance record.
