Looks like but no where near as effective.

Heck, its engines are trash and fail on a regular basis. . .all the time and it flies around the traffic pattern with its speed-brakes deployed to keep the engine's spooled up otherwise they take too long to get back to usable thrust if needed (and compressor stall, too).

Gun is short-range and inaccurate.

Range is short and loiter time is crappy.

Other than that, a fine jet.

I can always rely on the local FR Air Force mafia to complete the picture. Now if I could only get an idea of why the JSF 35 critics are wrong. There must be a lot of super secret advantages to this thing that make up for shortcomings.
