get rid of niggers

If you think the F-35 is a waste of money you it's because you're watching too much RT.

Amen!

If we'd change the Social Security ponzi scheme into individual retirement plans, we'd have more than enough to spend on the military. Restart the F-22 production line with the spare change.

You liberal faggots never think outside of the box.

90% of the military is pointless, it is all show of force and extremely wasteful.

All we need is a few aircraft carriers and jets, plus drones and support for all of these. The carriers and their warship escorts have plenty of nukes and cruise missiles to destroy anything they want.

Military bases are obsolete. Bunch of 18 year old faggots literally painting rocks and washing floors for $40,000 a year with benefits.

The problem is we let defense contractors and manufacturers of military equipment grossly fucking overcharge for tanks, planes and the like. Some of those jets cost us over 100 million dollars PER JET. I promise it shouldn't cost that much for them to make a profit, even after R&D and other costs are factored in. They pretty much just name their own price and nobody tells them they can't.

>wasteful
It's the only reason no one fucks with you. America have many enemies but they are all ultimately ants for USA boot. Crawl back in your cuckshed and let Trump carry your beta gene in the next evolution level.

Are there control surfaces on the leading edge of the wings? Holy fuck.

close bases on foreign soil

based ching chong

I envy the countries with no blacks

Nope. But it is possible for them to print more money. Respond accordingly.

that won't be china soon

adventurism in africa will start the flow of human capital

>t. Armee cuckold

>no one fucks with the US
The saudis didnt seem to be care about those nukes when they gave the world trade centers a plane ride.

Just stop playing world police.

If China, Japan and Europe want safe sea ways they can send their own ships.

You've clearly never been to china. We don't allow them citizenship, and if you're a nigger who wants permanent residency, you had better be rich enough to bribe a shitload of people, and even then the average chinaman would rather spit on you than server you

Nope, you havent get the F-304s airborne yet?

this, bunch of armchair generals ITT

When are you starting your own company?

I heard a pilot breakdown why it was such a huge piece of shit. The wing area was the biggest problem. Gave piss poor turning radius's and crippled its ability to be an air superiority fighter, and the armanent wasnt enough to make up for those hugely signifigant loses. F-15s can out pace and out maneuver it.

Its required to guarantee safety of Israel. No matter what you want, the military spending is not coming down. Also, just wait 5 more years when China starts spending more on their military than US, the paranoia will be hysterical in america.

90% of the military is pointless, it is all show of force and extremely wasteful.

Hey user, do you fear going to war, full blown war and losing, against Mexico? Canada? What about Japan?

No?

There's your answer about military spending.

90% of it is fucking useless and just going into the pockets of politicians and their friends in the weapons industry so yes, but it wont happen without a huge financial disaster due to $hekel$

Interesting video user.

F35 Internet Defense Forces won't respond to this

> $40,000 a year

need large military industrial complex to sustain usd supremacy on world stage through perceived/real threat of force... it sucks, but the financial system we are a part of requires strong dollar or US goes to shit

Cut woman out of the military
Majority of them are useless.
>complain about the littlest shit task given to them
>always make excuses to get out of PT and work time
>a lot of fat fucks getting waivers so they can avoid getting kicked out
>always causing unnecessary drama at work
>is all responsible for every single unnecessary training (i.e Sexual Assault, diversity etc)
>special equipment and resources are needed for them
>If they're not going around spreading STDs to the whole company, they're wasting tax dollars for 12 weeks of maternity leave
Remove women and work/cost efficiency increases in the work force.

But i make like $60000 a year and it is not a high wage in Sweden and Norway at all.

The big buckers make like $120000 or more.

> team up with russia
> bomb non-whites into the stone age
> world peace for centuries
> rinse and repeat when non-whites discover the wheel

Not really while the current system is in place.

>You used only 80% of your funding by being efficient or not wasteful?
>Time to cut your allocated funding to match that for next year.

It's not pointless.

We need that military to play our little war games in the middle east for oil. We keep the countries there stable enough that their terrorists don't blow up pipelines, but unstable enough that they will strictly sell and trade oil using USD. Since we control the dollar and everybody else uses the dollar in some way, we can steal a little bit of wealth from their economies when we print more money. The petrodollar is literally the only reason why we haven't crashed into being a 3rd world country.

Plus, the U.S. Military production is spread across a vast and complex military industrial complex and the production of parts of military hardware is spread across states which is a way for the U.S to give jobs and money to people. It's not uncommon for politicians to cut deals to get parts of the military industrial complex into their state so they can rake in free money and jobs.

i miss this show so bad, scifi like this used to give me hope for the future... then jews ruined it

Do you mean wing loading? This feeds into a long-term change in fighter doctrine. We've been trying for a long time - since Vietnam - to see how much we can "get away with" as far as wing loading goes.
The F-4's design was premature - the fighter doctrine developing that aircraft was to carry as much weaponry as possible, making the aircraft heavier, as long-range missiles and radar would be capable of making close-range dogfighting obsolete. We quickly found out that wasn't true yet.

The F-16 also has a higher wing loading than previous aircraft. It has been very successful despite this. The F-15 has relatively light armament for an aircraft of its size due to its very low wing loading - this gives it amazing performance and dogfighting capability, but very little staying power.

The F-35 aims to do what the F-4 tried to do and failed - Carry a fuckload of armament and rely on avionics and precision guidance to destroy the enemy before they have the ability to fire back. Our technology has progressed significantly since 1958, I'm optimistic in the F-35's ability. It won't feel nearly as good to fly as an F-15 - that aircraft has a TWR of over 1, and its low wing loading makes it a dream to fly, but operational capability matters more.

Not without the European states we pay to defend pick up the fucking slack but at this point they'd probably just use it as an excuse to arm migrants with military weaponry.

>nine dune coons crashing a plane into a building is the same as a military invasion
*checks flag
o that explains why you suck saudi cock you muslim gook. of all combinations to be that is probably the worst, only way to make it worse would be to be communist too....

>Gave piss poor turning radius's and crippled its ability to be an air superiority fighter

The F-35 is just as maneuverable as the fighters it's replacing. (video related)
Also it's not an air superiority fighter and was never supposed to be one.

dont stop with the military user

>t. GSoA

nuke the cube

wing loading is the ratio of loaded weight of an aircraft by the lift-producing area of the wings
Higher = more weight carried by less wing area
Lower = less weight carried by more wing area

Things with low wing loading:
gliders
Things with high wing loading:
most airliners

Is that what you didn't understand?

>How?

1) All Eurocucks stop spending Tens of Billions on feeding and housing African Niggers and Islamic Arabic Jihaddis... AND SPEND THAT $$$ ON DEFENSE, instead of letting us be their War-Daddy.

2) See #1 (and stop giving Israel tons of $$$ to defend against Palestinian model rocket-tier "missiles" )

That sounds like a great idea but ECM's will do a number on the ability of those missiles to land on target. Seeing as the fighter will only be used on and is intended for Russia this is a bad corner to back ones self into.

use anti-war libertarians and liberals as slave labor to build aircraft carriers and jets

Good,moral people are in short supply these days. The love of money and the ease of fucking the system are out of control.everything is bought and sold 10 times before we get the final bill.

The only way to fix the system is to fix the people. That's never going to happen,and it's why we are circling the drain.

We know very little about the AN/APG-81's capabilities, and the collaborative data-sharing abilities of several F-35s. I think the AN/APG is said to be better all-around than the F-22's amazing AN/APG-77. If so, then the F-35 might pose a significant risk to the PAK FA in air-to-air combat. If F-35s are able to effectively collaborate in their data-sharing task than many ECMs will be greatly hindered in their job.

>I think the AN/APG-81 is*
apologies

We will be battle testing your planes within a year.
Probably will start with stealth only job like destruction of SAMs. Non of our neighbor states have the capability to detect stealth.
I bet we already do have radars for that.

It's the largest driving factor for jobs and growth for us.
Military spending is homeland spending.

As soon as I get my small loan of 1 million dollars, ho chi.

Infrastructure spending would actually be much better though and still provide the spending and stimulus while increasing future profitability, stability, etc. Hell, we could probably afford a universal healthcare system if we weren't spending so much on the military, which would drive jobs, growth, etc.

You must be a military guy. I only browse this tech from time to time out of curiosity so my breadth of knowledge about these radar systems is limited but I imagine itll be something similar to the Aegis system the Navy use, and Russia has already proven its ability to shut those systems down completely with its ECMs. Id be interested to see how an engagement would actually play out between these two fighters just to see how each sides tech holds up, without full blown engagment, but alas, thatll never happen.
