So, that J-20 isn't looking quite so craptacular any more...
Not sure if this was Breaking worthy, could you decide for me? Thanks.
The prez is a putz, middle east is on fire, and the chinese steal our lunch money. Film at 11.
Why am I tempted to laugh?
Oh, right, because the F-35 is an overpriced “multi-role” POS that won’t be able to compete with single-role aircraft.
Active Duty ping.
Plus we are about to set yet another trade deficit record, with China.
By a significant amount.
Up from last year, which was also a brand new record.
If possible, maybe we could let those pinko commie geeks steal plans that are deliberately designed to cause the airplane to blow up, like Reagan allowed the Russians to steal pipeline data, which resulted in a gigantic explosion. Wouldn't that be sweet?
That’d be nice but apparently we let them steal the real plans instead by our own internal documentation.
Well Hell!We should have gave the Chinese a complete copy of the F-23 considering the crappy information security we had protecting it.
I hope this report is just B.S. and the Chinese just got into a honey pot.
Stealing the F-35 won’t help them much unless they can get it working. Apparently, we can’t.
I haven’t been able to pick up Rush Limbaugh for maybe 10 years but I can remember when he was saying that Clinton was just openly selling our secrets to the Chinese. They were making campaign contributions or something like that.
Well, we can always dream. I figure, however, if you or I have thought about it, I am sure many others have too. Screw those pinko commie geeks.
(((((PING))))))
Doubtful, this came from the Snowden data dump; the source is an internal NSA presentation. Pretty good chance they got the real stuff, too. Especially considering how many compromised Chinese chips have been showing up in American military and networking hardware lately.
Which ones? The ones running the country or the ones in China? :P
I’m hoping this plane is just a distraction while a true state of the art fighter like an up-to-date YF-23 is being built is secrecy to be our next fighter. But maybe it is a black UFO. I’ve read a lot of reports on the Lightning11 but none had been positive about anything. At least I recall some positives about the F-111 Aardvark. Just another part of the Muslims plan. Lending borrowed money is a power dive method to 3rd world status.
We tried to make another F-111 ‘universal fighter’ out of it, which is always doomed to failure. They can choose what role they want, strip out all the useless crap they don’t need for it, and fly it.
Oh wait, they already have.
The F-111 was a budgetary black hole and never worked as intended. The fact that it worked as a wild weasel was not by design but a happy coincidence and desperation to find something for them to do that they didn’t suck at.
Nah, we can only hope the Chinese build lots and lots of their own exact duplicate F-35’s rather than something which might work.
LOL, good question. How about both. I don't know which ones I abhor more, theirs or ours.
