What's going on in India?

[Speaker to Animals]

Uh huh. All the evidence points to you being a rube who fell for some obvious horseshit marketing gimmicks.

"the fucking oobla loop, stealth profile, fucking targeting helmet cylon shit!"




Meanwhile this fucking thing gets killed by an F-16 in testing and then analysts are saying it probably would get shot down by a MiG-21. LMFAO

[Smitty-48]

Whatevs, Wheeler.

[Speaker to Animals]

A MiG-21 costs what, 3-5 million at most? You could just buy five of those for every one F-35. That's it. Game over for 15 million.

What can you possibly say to that??

Your baby carries only four AIM-120s and has a realistic range of about 250 nautical miles.

It's a giant turd, man. You are a rube for believing this nonsense.

[Smitty-48]

Okay, Winslow.

[Speaker to Animals]

LMFAO. That's all you have. You just throw names. Here's some more analysis from the squids. They think that jet is a fucking disaster too.

Gilmore detailed a range of remaining and sometimes worsening problems with the program, including hundreds of critical performance deficiencies and maintenance problems. He also raised serious questions about whether the Air Force’s F-35A can succeed in either air-to-air or air-to-ground missions, whether the Marine Corps’ F-35B can conduct even rudimentary close air support, and whether the Navy’s F-35C is suitable to operate from aircraft carriers.

He found, in fact, that “if used in combat, the F-35 aircraft will need support to locate and avoid modern threat ground radars, acquire targets, and engage formations of enemy fighter aircraft due to unresolved performance deficiencies and limited weapons carriage availability.”

The fuck is that??

Overall, problems with the F-35’s sensors, computers and software, including creating false targets and reporting inaccurate locations, have been severe enough that test teams at Edwards Air Force Base have rated them “red,” meaning they are unable to perform the combat tasks expected of them.

One system, the Electro-Optical Targeting System (EOTS), was singled out by pilots as inferior in resolution and range to the systems currently being used on legacy aircraft. EOTS is one of the systems designed to help the F-35 detect and destroy enemy fighters from far enough away to make dogfighting a thing of the past. Mounted close to the nose of the aircraft, it incorporates a television camera, an infrared search and track system, and a laser rangefinder and designator.

...


The report says the problem is bad enough that F-35 pilots may need to fly in so close to acquire the target that they would have to maneuver away to gain the distance needed for a guided weapon shot. Thus, the system’s limitations can force an attacking F-35 to compromise surprise, allowing the enemy to maneuver to a first-shot opportunity.

Fucking wow.

That's a fifty minute read and it goes into even more detail about what a disaster this thing is. I didn't know it was this bad. People should go to prison for this.

When I was a young fit thoroughbred I was a lightweight, six pints put me under the table.

Now that I am a grizzled old man, I can drink a whole bottle of whiskey in one sitting without even missing a beat.

Lightweight is the best division in MMA. It's a fucking shark tank, with Khabib and Ugly Tony smashing said shark tank, with 11 straight wins at 155 in the UFC.

Please MMA Gods, just let me see that fight already, the fight constantly falling apart joke is old, let it go and find something else to amuse yourselves, or my heart will break.

If it doesn't happen, MMA sucks, there's no defending MMA if they don't give some steak with the sizzle.

Well if MMA History has taught me anything, it's that you get to see a bunch of "super fights" you never asked for, and very rarely do they ever deliver the fight you really want, just ask Georges St-Pierre and Anderson Silva. If you do get to see it, it's often too late, just ask Wanderlai Silva and Chuck Liddell. Fedor Emelianenko vs Mirko Cro Cop is clear outlier of the three, it does happen sometimes, but I wouldn't get your hopes up, MMA is cruel like that.

Whose the big dog in Bellator? What would be their equivalent of Tony v Khabib?

[StCapps]

Whose the big dog in Bellator? What would be their equivalent of Tony v Khabib?

That would be Ryan Bader vs Gegard Mousasi, both former UFC fighters.

Gegard might actually be the best 185 pounder on the planet, but can't prove it toiling away in Bellator, used to fight at 205. Ryan Bader is one of the few dudes who fights above 185 pounds that isn't complete garbage, he'd be top five lightheavyweight easy, but he'd lose to Daniel Cormier and he'd lose to Jon Jones again. He recently beat a washed up Fedor Emelianenko to win the heavyweight grand prix, and no opponent even landed a punch on him during that grand prix run.
