The J20 internal weapons bay is either non-functional or they figured a way to vastly simplify it compared to the F-22.

The missiles are fakes. I bet the bay isn’t finished out but the aft end looks like it has hardware.

The 22 is also 20 years old.

I’m convinced there are agents who actively campaign against the US’s defense Aquisition programs in order to weaken us. It’s in their interest to see the F35 cancelled. They claim it isn’t mission ready, too expensive, not combat effective, or doesn’t meet its promised goals. And the program is too classified to defend itself in public. So it sounds like a failure and we need to cancel it so that our adversaries will have the advantage

Back in the pre-woke culture of WWII, Ford's Willow Run plant was putting out one complete B-24 per hour. Too bad we have lost a lot of our industrial capacity. But we're still better than the Russians.

Yep, I would say the KF-21 from South Korea is a better option for such a project. It even looks like the F-22s little brother.

If a country is going to have a national delusion, the one America has of always being about to be left in the dust by everyone else is the way to go.

Which doesn't make it accurate, or any less infuriating dealing with the people who believe it. But it does mean you stay so far ahead of the pack that no one has a realistic chance of catching up.

I have autism. It's not a cakewalk.

It makes things way, waaay fucking harder than they need to be. I had to have speech therapy and an IEP when I was in school.

Autism doesn't mean you can't become a functioning member of society, it just means it's going to take a lot more work and development to become one.

Enjoy the autistic reply.

The acquisitions process worked exactly the way it was designed from end to end.  Everyone got rich on both sides, nobody went to jail, the American taxpayer got fucked as hard as physically possible.  The guy who designed it should get a Nobel prize in cleptonomics.

Kinda wondered if some of it is a result of opfor info ops.

No foreign agent propos there...

So is it a surprise GD wants F-16s and F-15s over F-35?

Then again, GD would also have the Navy full of battleships modified to launch F-14s, the Army should have 1000 A-10s and revert to M14/1911, the Marines should ditch the V-22 and go back to LCVP and LVTs, and our strategic deterrent should be B-52Gs carrying B-41 gravity bombs with the Slim Pickens guidance package... enemy info ops truly are indistinguishable from serious mouth breathing.

Build 1500 more F-15 Strike Eagles with latest avionics and tech.
Convert F16s to drones flown by pilots on the ground and dog fight the enemy. Lose a F16, spin up another in theater and go again. Utilize the mothballed F16 fleet, get them flying and repsawn like a freakin video game.
Kamakize predator drones packed with explosives to make runs on those Mil converted islands.

The SU-57 is way stealthier than the F-35.  I've seen dozens of F-35s flying and I'm just a civilian with no special detection capabilities.  I've never seen an Su-57 fly.  That's how stealthy they are.
