Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Hesperus: Maybe after the human race becomes a Kardeshev 2 level civilization. When an F-22 becomes a rich mans toy. Until then this shit is expensive and no one has any money. Besides what does an F-35 do against the kind of people who can't muster better air defense than a 20mm cannon that a C-130 loaded with bombs literally made of garbage can't do better?

It can make them spend enough money trying to catch up to ensure that they never actually catch up. |

F-35 is a decade old tech… imagine how much better we could do today…

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Ryan_Scott: Yeah I find the story very suspect. The fact that even the Russians claim to have only done that to the F-35 when they can’t even do that to Ukrainian SU-24s and SU-27s for instance. Well, they’re all vacuum tube based, so it’s a lot harder…. |

Fair enough - my point is that - as amazing as the f-35 is, we have better tech now and could exceed those capabilities. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By TxRabbitBane: Fair enough - my point is that - as amazing as the f-35 is, we have better tech now and could exceed those capabilities. Yes but we would need to wrap a high performance stealth combat fighter around that. And that is no easy feat. Although they are trying with NGAD. Maybe they will be able to pull it off with another 10 years of work. But I'm not optimistic. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By DeltaV42: I work in composites fabrication. There's a ton of art behind the science and the detail design to turn some burnt string and glue into a functional structure. And that's not even getting into the chemistry of the resin. That's black magic, even to me. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By DeltaV42: I work in composites fabrication.

Somebody, somewhere, is doing just that. |

Looks like F22 with all the helmet, vision, battlefield control and radar that the f35 has. |
