See my post above.
Reduced radar signature is a pimple on the Elephants ass when held against all of the other capabilities this platform brings to the battle field.
So is speed. Not really important.
Two engines? Nope...the 1960's called and asked if we could please put this one to bed? They've been inundated with phone calls/messages (yet again) and they're getting a little sick and tired of it.
What this platform delivers is all of the #### that is way too far up the "need to know" ladder for ANY of us peons to have any idea as to what it can do.
As I alluded in my prior posts? I have personal connections with a few of the current fast air folks in the RCAF.
I've already said more than I probably should have, but with regards what I've heard from those that DO KNOW?
There's only one solution to the equation.
So congratulations JT!
There's one of the few platform promises you actually followed through on...
That whole "never buy that airplane" thing.
Spent $1.5B to punt, (Aussie F-18A's) and hand the football off to the other guys.
Well done...small (derisive) clap inserted here
