F35 vs. A10?

LOL

How did the Serbs do it, genius?

Stealth is not invisibility, the Air Force fucked up, they got cocky and flew the F-117's down that same valley over and over again, same route in, dozens of times, so the Serbs predicted they would do it again and were waiting for them. Planning failure.

You are deflecting. Stealth is supposed to make the thing undetectable by radar beyond a certain distance, and definitely not targetable at those ranges. The Serbs needed only modify their Russian kit to use a low-band and they fired two surface to air missiles up that goblin pilot's ass.

The technology is obviously flawed. One hallmark of delusional thinking is when a person keeps spouting off his theory in the face of real-world, undeniable evidence that he is wrong..

Fake news, the F-117 was point blank to that Serb radar, flew right into its kill zone well inside the range of detection, even F-22 would have been shot down if he flew right into that kill zone.

Stealth is not invisibility, it just gives you an edge, doesn't make you invincible, the USAF just fucked up and flew their F-117s right into the radar instead of seeking the gaps in the defenses.

[Smitty-48]

This again is where the pilot comes into play. The jet largely flies itself, the role of the pilot is tactician.

He has to take the picture provided by the Sensor Fusion Engine, then maneuver himself in relation to the threats, to optimize his VLO, same with Raptor, same with B-2.

Delusional.

>"Stealth can't be targeted with normal surface to air defense systems"

>> Then what the fuck is this??




>> Fake news. The theory says that's impossible.

And you think we don't have software that can do that at least a well as a fighter jock? LOL

He wasn't point blank. They shot him down from more than eight miles away, motherfucker! They straight-up targeted him and shot his ass out of the sky. Targeting an F-117 Nighthawk was exponentially more difficult than targeting an F-35 too.

Stay off drugs, kids. Fucking wow.

[Smitty-48]

I've said that stealth is not invisibility, very late detection is still detection, eight miles is too close, if/when the USAF planners are incompetent enough to send the F-117's down the same route over and over, until somebody figures out where they are coming from by default./ shrugs.

[Smitty-48]

In terms of F-35, doesn't actually fly the same profile as an F-117, F-117 could not maneuver, did not have Sensor Fusion, nor EODAS, the F-35 wouldn't have flown down that valley over and over again, blind, even if he fucked up and was caught in a kill zone, would have detected the Serb launch by EODAS and simply flown away from it.

[Speaker to Animals]

That's not a fucking excuse. This shit is supposed to be difficult to target with radar. The Serbs figured out how to do it with the stealthiest aircraft we publicly ever flew, and from eight God damned miles away. If some Adidas tracksuit-wearing mongrels can shoot down an F-117 Nighthawk from eight miles away, with some shit-tiered Russian hardware Putin loaned them, then what the ever fuck do you think is going to happen to an F-35 that has at least ten times higher RCS than that??

The best stealth is the original stealth
