Modern F-35 bought by Poland. Good decision? [288]
@Spike31
Not when its dead slow. Which the F-35 is. Its a lame duck that can barely hold Mach 1.6. Thats laughable.
The Eurofighter is 500 km/h faster than that.
Your rubbish about "invisible" made me laugh. You assume i think its invisble?
Dude seriously.
At daytime the F-35 cant be used, because its so slow that any given fighter jet can take it down.
It depends to fly at night and trust that its radar signature cant be detected. Which proved wrong. Since german radar detects it easily.
Since it has only one engine, its dead in the air.
In any scenario it lost in dog fights. Even the old F-16 can easily out maneuver it.
Recent tests show that it gets unstable at higher speed, when it reachs Mach 1.6.
Infact its so badly designed, that it can hold super sonic speeds only for short moments, or it breaks apart

The F-35 can only fly at supersonic speeds for short bursts of time before the risk of structural damage and loss of stealth capability
This entire plane is the most funny fighter jet ever developed
