People don't realize that the F-35 is deadly in a dogfight, not just BVR. It's got better turn radius than an F-16, and better AoA than a Super Hornet. It smokes both of those planes regularly in Red Flag mock battles. That makes it the 2nd most capable dogfighter in the world behind the F-22 Raptor. That's ontop of everything else it can do outside of dogfighting. The thing is an absolute MONSTER of an aircraft.

The F-22 is outdated compared to the F-35. The F-35's electronics have been upgraded ever since it flew for the first time. Back then yes the F-22 was superior but today the F-35 would actually beat the F-22.

After the software has been debugged and with it's large control surfaces, it is very agile but it is not a modern air superiority fighter. It dominates in other ways.

@Taczy2023 Жыл бұрын

Its a multirole fighter and it will excel at air superiority. Its all about BVR, meaning the new generation of BVR radar and infrared guided missiles being developed are going to be the main choice of weapon when destroying enemy aircraft and ground radars/sams. Combine this with datalink so that the F-35s can launch missiles towards enemy targets using allied AWACS aircraft to guide the missiles and without having to turn on their own radars and expose themselves. Its truly a step up for NATO.

@ObiWanShinobi917 11 ай бұрын

It is built to dominate the sky in all roles. Air superiority, BVR, AND reconnaissance. It does it all. Deadlier in a dogfight than an F-16 or a Super Hornet. More lethal range in a BVR fight than any other aircraft in the world. As well as a flying supercomputer that can map out enemy forces with ease, and give pinpoint directions to friendly missiles to make sure they meet their targets. It's a monster of a plane.

@gld1010 11 ай бұрын

I should change my wording, yes, it will be in an air superiority fighter in squadron or BVR situation but if it is forced into ACM, the pilot may wish they were in a vector thrust platform especially if their contact is also a vector thrust platform. I am just stating, it would have been even more unstoppable in a vector thrust platform. Time will only tell if they will always be in BVR.

@puffin51 Жыл бұрын

I wonder how many were there, prepped and ready, with the correct software loaded? 3? 4? You'd want that many. Its all-missions availability is still in the 30% range, and appears to be getting worse, as the parts snafu caused by "concurrent development" bites. But it flies real nice, when it flies at all. The aerobatics are done with the lightest possible load, but its actual combat load is only two long-range or three short range A2A missiles, plus 1 air-to-surface guided munition or two dumb bombs. The USAF is now talking about using it as a link in a "kill chain", where it uses its networking ability to direct long-range weapons from "bomb trucks". It might work, for the USAF. Pity if your nation's air force doesn't have a array of "bomb trucks".
