>20 years ago>People constantly felate the F22, claiming its the plane version of jesus.>Constantly disparage the F35 saying its a an expensive boondongle that can't fight and is shit and is worse in every way to the f22 and they should have just made more f22s instead of axing the program>Today>People lament that the f22 is underutilized as it never gets any engagements>Still question the value of F35 despite its multiple successes in infiltrating enemy held airspace and leading ground attack missions in heavily defended adversary airspace.Its time you admit that F35 is the superior aircraft.
F22 walked so the f35 can run
The F22 was always the boondoggle. The Air Force had no need for it and continues to have no need for it. The money wasted on the F22 program should have gone to naval surface combatant development. Likewise, the F47 shouldn't exist, either. That money should go to the FAXX.

>>64754260>Constantly disparage the F35 saying its a an expensive boondonglethat was a literal Russian psyop and it only tracked with idiots
>>64754288It'll be good for a kamikaze run on the three gorges dam with a B-83, if it ever comes to that
>>64754288least obvious chinese poster
Both of these aircraft plus the F-18 just invalidated examples of some of the strongest air defense systems that US adversaries depend on for nuclear deterrence and we're still talking about them being a waste of money...
>>64754260>and leading ground attack missionsWHAT!? The multirole aircraft with a weapons bay designed to carry air-to-ground ordnance and sensors designed to guide them is... better than the dedicated air superiority aircraft in a strike role!?Say it ain't so!
>>64754396Anon chang wouldn't be saying we should be spending more on the navy instead of the air force.
>>64754459multirole has always been superior. Fighter purist have always seethed.
>>64754260Many seething Australians on /k/ have already been sounding the alarm since the US decided to sell the F-35 to Singapore as they believe it compromises Australia's air defense to China. While the US can afford to replace the F-35 with something new in 20 years Australians are going to be stuck with them for at least 50.
>>64754396If I was a chink, I wouldn't be talking about how the chinks have absolutely nothing that could take on an F35. Before the F35 entered service, China had absolutely nothing that could take on an F15.
>>64754469Malaysian pilot in Su-30MKM and Mig-29 have proven otherwise against USAF F-15/16, USN F-18 and even F-22For reminder of what happened during the last Cope Taufan, the F-22 lost to the Sukhois by a 3 time lockdown confirmed kills. the RMAF Sukhoi SU-30MKM were be able to detect and locked into USAF Lockheed Martin F-22A Raptor in stealth mode during Cope Taufan 2014 joined USAF & RMAF exercises.None other than former US Navy pilot Trevor "Gonky" Hartsock is a Boeing contractor who'd trained RMAF Hornet pilots when MLU prog was initiated to bring the Malaysian D++ Nitestrike variant to Mod25X standard.Gonky's top 5 toughest dogfight:>1. RMAF BAe Hawk Mk108/208>2. Northrop F-5>3. RMAF Su-30MKM>4. F-16>5. Boeing F/A-18As per Gonky's deduction as former USAF Reserve adversary pilot and former Boeing contractor, the RMAF Su-30MKM is considered as a formidable fighter in the air giving great opportunity for USAF pilots to hav a feel on their potential opponent.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duejFDL04P0The F-22 never comes around Malaysia anymore because China doesn't like the idea of Su-30MKM which is more advanced than their basic J-15 being used by Raptor pilots to develop countermeasures.
Malaysian SU-30MKM is said to be the most modern Flanker variant after SU-30SM/J-16. One of best contributions of Malaysia's military efforts is to combine the best of the Soviets and the West. Malaysian equipment are well-known to be extensively upgraded with Western technology beyond the capabilities of simple 'Slavshit'. Good example of this is SU-30MKM which uses Soviet airframe & Western avionics. Malaysian SU-30MKM are the only Sukhoi SU-30 series that capable of using Sidewinder, Paveway and JDAM. Currently RMAF is able do do SEAD with Su-30MKM + Kh-31P. SU-30MKM "Growlerski" is also the first ECM/EW Sukhoi platform designed and build outside Russia.A multi-role platform with SAP-518 ECM pod and mix of SAP-14 jamming pod is considered similar to the United States ALQ-99 jamming system installed on the EA-6B Prowler and EA-18G Growler. Funny thing is the Russian are following Malaysian example that successfully integrated Russian-Western technology into their SU-30MKM.Coupled with IRST which allows it to safely detect target fr relative safety. Coupled wiv R-77/RVV-AE BVRAAM (which is now in RMAF inventory), the Malaysian Sukhoi still hav a fighting chance using the right fighting skills, tactics, weapons, sensors and airmanship against F-22/F-35. RMAF Sukhoi SU-30MKM also perfect in out maneuvering incoming enemy aircraft with the help of thrust vectoring control system or TVC. the actual ability of the Su-30MKM has been kept secret so far.
>>64754520Shut the FUCK up holy shitHow many fucking schizos like this does /k/ have? I know every board has these but I swear to fucking god there's only ten people on /k/ and five of them are like this
