F35 vs. A10?

... in the event that America is attacked by a large force of fighter jets immune to ground fire, or bombers that can only be seen by F35 radar.

why not hit them before they get near america instead? seems a much better way to defend americans than your approach of waiting until ground fire takes them out or hoping shittier detection methods will still allow them to be taken out before they do damage

you can see how air combat works these days by observing India v Pakistan

there are no dogfights, they just fly at each other, launch their missiles, then turn away

the problem then becomes the missiles run out of energy and fall short

the stealth of F-35 means it can keep coming, launch its missiles closer, with more energy

thus making it shooting fish in a barrel for the F-35

China has no chance against Japan, China is bluffing across the board

remember that they follow the doctrine of Sun Tzu ; when you are weak act like you are strong

China can't actually impose its will by military force on Japan, they can't even do it to Taiwan

the Chinese are relying on psyops, which is certainly working on the media

not to mention it is in the vested interests of the MICC to vastly overrate the adversary

this is what they did with the Soviets, Bomber Gap, Missile Gap, Domino Theory, etcetera

China has one powerful super weapon to deploy

$3.84 trillion US dollars

the threat of China is not military, the threat is that they bribe the elites to sell everybody down the river

[Smitty-48]

the military threat is really the Russians

not because they are strong, because they are weak

the weaker Russia gets in relation to NATO, the more likely they will go to war in desperation

I suspect that the US Navy has better deployment range than the F35, carriers notwithstanding. Then there are the hundreds of military bases with SAM batteries scattered throughout Europe, the Pacific, Japan... Pretty tough to imagine the magical air threat that could get anywhere near us, but ok.

planes move faster than ships, hence why the navy also deploys F-35's to protect them

just because you don't think F-35 is needed doesn't mean it isn't needed

fact is, you simply don't have a clue what you are talking about, but are so emotionally invested in thinking you are right about this issue, that no amount of facts will change your mind

[Smitty-48]

all these fallacies simply muddy the waters to no good purpose

the media narrative is not even meant to bring the F-35 down, they don't care about that

F-35 Derangement Syndrome is the same media clickbait which the media propagates everywhere

none of it is meant to help, it's just about the media trying to make money as they collapse across the board

but if you understand Trump Derangement Syndrome, then you understand F-35 Derangement Syndrome too
