    Single F-35 Kills Dozens of Enemy Fighters in AirWar Live Combat "Scenario"

    Single F-35 Kills Dozens of Enemy Fighters in AirWar Live Combat "Scenario"

    This is an interesting article about the capabilities of the F-35. A single F-35 can destroy numerous enemy targets from over the horizon.

    [COLOR=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)]As 60 enemy fighters closed in on a US Air Force 4th Generation fighter aircraft, blinding the jet with electronic warfare attacks, an experienced pilot faced unseen life threatening attackers closing in -- during an air-combat Red Flag exercise closely replicating actual warfare scenarios.

    [/COLOR][COLOR=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)][/COLOR][COLOR=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)]Yet, in a life-saving flash, the endangered 4-th pilot was told to “turn around” by an F-35 operating in the vicinity who radioed an instant warning. The 5th-Gen, multi-role stealth fighter then used its long-range sensors and weapons to “kill” the enemy aircraft, according to an Air Force news report.

    [/COLOR]
    [COLOR=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)][/COLOR][COLOR=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)]Air Force Col. Joshua Wood, 388th Operations Group Commander was part of the exercise.

    [/COLOR]
    [COLOR=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)][/COLOR][COLOR=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)]“I’ve never seen anything like it before. My wingman was a brand new F-35A pilot, seven or eight flights out of training. He gets on the radio and tells an experienced, 3,000 hour pilot in a fourth-generation aircraft. ‘Hey bud, you need to turn around. You’re about to die, There’s a threat off your nose,’” Wood explained in the service report.[/COLOR]

    God do I hope the F-35s promised to Turkey doesn't happen. They are too cozy with the Russians and Iran.

    Have any of you seen the new Russian Mig? OMG..... I watched some videos, that plane can do some amazing things, things I've never seen a fighter jet do......it's just....wow.... I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

    If I could post a link to the video, I would....but, can't figure out how to do it on my phone.

    The Mig 35 or 41? Probably the 35 known as the Fulcrum F. Scheduled for the line this year.




    Meh!

    An F-15 rip-off. Not anything an F-35 can't handle beyond the horizon. It has a gun as if dog fighting is going to happen in this day and age. Forty year old tech and backseat status IMO.
