The F-35 is a 'multi-role aircraft' (ground attack and - Spanky KU - 12/12 13:26:07

they aren't for dogfighting - FootballRefugee MU

- 12/12 13:24:42

We have drones and cruise missiles. Why do we need - MrBlueSky MU - 12/12 13:26:00

another false basis - FootballRefugee MU

- 12/12 13:27:59

You didn't tell me why we need them. - MrBlueSky MU - 12/12 13:36:23

Here you go.... - Spanky KU - 12/12 13:52:01

F-15 and F-18 are decades old platforms. The idea was to - TigerMatt STL - 12/12 13:46:18

Stealth and advanced avionics being key to that transition - Spanky KU - 12/12 13:57:31

Even without the F-35 we'll have air superiority still - MrBlueSky MU - 12/12 13:48:37

As airframes age, the maintenance costs skyrocket. The F-35 - TigerMatt STL - 12/12 13:57:56

Proxy countries such as Iran will have an air force. - Coors4bob MU - 12/12 14:18:15

And SAM technology improvements need to be counteracted.(nm) - TigerMatt STL - 12/12 14:01:39

This is another good reason, thank you - MrBlueSky MU - 12/12 14:03:16
