>china WILL take tai-
>ACK!
oh no no no ccp trannybros how do we cope
China WILL take tai-
how would f35 be better for defending from an invasion over f16 and f15?
by being a laughinstock
>Despite factoring in such careful considerations, when viewed from space using a radar-equipped satellite, the PLA’s “stealth” ships show up rather well. The Type-022’s unique layout even creates a distinctive signature that can easily be recognised.
>According to radar-satellite imagery provider Capella Space, the so-called stealth missile boats are clearly recognizable even when they’re moored in their bases. In fact, they are reported to be visible even in commercial radar
its anti-radar abilities allow it to avoid being blown the fuck out of the sky by modern anti-air missiles
stealth capabilities required sacrifices in other areas yes
Does it really?
So if there is a battle going on, chinese ships and chinese fighters in the skies, f35s are firing their weapons and so on, the surface-to-air missiles from the ships and the air-to-air missiles from the chinese fighters simply can't get a lock on?
and then what about the issue of quantity? how many f16s and f15s could one have instead of f35s?
The last thing a stupid commie will see. A strong, black' queer, drag soldier gunning them down. USA USA USA USA USA USA
Radar stealth is not the same in every direction. These ships are, presumably, designed to be stealthy from the side, not from above. There's a reason stealth ships have slanted sides; to avoid presenting right angles to enemy radar. The flat roof parts could be at right angle with an overflying spacecraft and at those angles it would be extremely easy to see on radar.
lower radar footprint
nah but seriously, why can't chinks into jet engines?
stealth capabilities only work when the f-35's own radar is turned off. Otherwise you can track the origin of the f-35's radar signal.
>what if the JF-17
>what is the J-20
Right, which it can't fight if it doesn't have radar off?
So F35 is good for sneaking into enemy territory and then delivering a surgical strike and getting out?
So if it came to a large scale amphibious invasion, where there are swarms of enemy boats and aircraft, of a horde situation where the defending Airforce needs to be spamming missiles taking out all these enemy aircraft and enemy ships, then the F35 is pretty much useless?
What you would want to deal with a large invading force would be something more large wings of lots of F16s and F15s?
Yes, it's far harder to achieve a lock on F35s. Throwing f16s and f15s at a S-400 installation would result in far higher losses than a strike with F35s. I think the F35 has a lot of issues, considering it is a designed by committee money hole, but it would have an upper hand in combating technologies specifically developed to take out G4/G4.5 aircraft. In a conventional war, it would finally show a bit of justification for its existence. In a war against a bunch of sandniggers with at best 80s era surplus, it's wildly overkill.
f35 doesn't really excel at anything, it is not as shit as people make out, no doubt significantly better than China's gay Fisher Price toy jets, but it's hardly some game changer that will make the Chinks sit up and reconsider
Pretty sure Iran ran wargames and lost to mig-29s. Still unsure of the J-20 but from what I am reading it can't beat an F-18 its radar and missile tech ain't up to snuff.
Source your ass.
Pakistan and China are exporting JF-17s out their ass for a reason. China’s J-20 is unproven but it’s still fifth gen and inspired by Russian design.
Woah those two managed to take off!
J-20 sucks ass, not a serious jet, chink subs on the other hand...
>The pair of twin-engine J-20s that put on a show for crowds at Airshow China in the southern city of Zhuhai on Tuesday were equipped with the WS-10 engine.
>The story notes that the J-20s were initially slated to be powered by a specially designed W-15 engine. However, during testing in 2015, the W-15 engine exploded. Chinese engineers have not been able to fix the engine.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
IT'S BEEN SEVEN Y E A R S AND CHINIGGERS HAVEN'T MADE ANY PROGRESS
Chinese subs don’t crash and have their sonar dome fall off. Meanwhile USN subs are filled with accidents same with the RN.
>woman crashes a ferrari through being dumb
>look! ferraris are shit!
So you’re saying British pilots suck?
Yeah, that makes sense.
