Does China, realistically, really think it has a chance against the greatest fighter jet of all time and its multiple reproductions, nearing 800 in sheer production numbers?

>his army isn't 5th gen equipped
NGMI

Sanctioned shithole Serbia shot down f 117 back in 1999 so i am pretty sure that a nuclear superpower like China would worry about it much.

Well they have one of their own now so I dunno, ask them.

what the FUCK is a Rafale?

4.5 gen, the F35 would wreck that thing in a BVR fight assuming one of a whooping total of four of it's AIM-120s hit.

Most likely scenario, Rafael can't find the 35 and the 35 blows through all it's stores trying to hit a plane with real kinetic performance.

Jews did it

If it's true they wrote some of the software for it, yes. Pretty sure it has plenty of chips in it that were made in China.

yes

The F35 looks like an F22 stopped giving a fuck, just sits around in a recliner in its dirty undershirt guzzling Hamm’s all day and telling anyone who still bothers to visit about the glory days

4th gen, 4.3 gen at best

How does the jet get in range of China tho?

i will choose non-rusted 4th gen fighter over 5th gen rusting shitbox

Aircraft carriers

if they keep falling of your flight decks there wont be any left to fly, so yes.

the true war is for the soul of every man
Now kindly commit toaster bath.

What’s the actual purpose of the F-35 anyway. Can’t F-22s go faster, maneuver better and carry more powerful weapons systems?

Export.

Yes

The F-35 isn't a fighter jet.
It's an everything jet that's too expensive for the navy to operate for longer than a few days of combat.
In an all out war with China America would use mostly F-15's and F-16's.

Yes
