oh well india is buying 200 of those ....what are we getting OH RIGHT its not even really flying yet ....and will be susceptible to lightning and with one jet engine well it wont be up long ....and cant fight at supersonic speeds....haha no weapons at that speed = LOSER
wow...this post is full of so much nonsense, i'm not even going to bother picking it apart...your username is very applicable after reading this mess. "funny/Chronoss"'s post may not be so far fetched. This is discussing last-gen aircraft. » theboresight.blogspot.ca/2009/07···red.html» www.airforcesreview.com/reports/···ag-08-4/New Russian designs are going to be a lot better han these older designs (which are pretty damn good) as the Russians are not stupid. Since they are now going after Western markets their aircraft have to be in the same ballpark as far as stealth, aerodynamics, weapons, performance, and electronics. No government is going to come out and say that their brand-new $80B shiny toy is going to get smoked by the competition, but so far the F-35 has a lot to prove. that f35 is worth nothing compared to a WORKING FLYING russian T-50 , the t50 has two engines ergo flies longer , flies faster and can fire at super sonic speeds ergo would smoke a turlted slow moving sub sonic f35 you then look at the russian tag of 47-57 million a jet vs what 200 million or some crap for a f35 ? wholly what is the usa doing imploding on patents and copyrights? |

"dash" supersonic ability.
FaxCap
you got links for that?...it is hard to really tell how an F35 and an FA would "fight each other" in A-A combat, since neither jet is actually "available" and the amount of factual information on both is limited at best. it will all come down to avionics, stealth ability and weapons systems, all of which the F35 has state of the art...the FA (i would imagine) would too, but i can't be sure, nor would i make a sweeping generalized statement about the FA shooting F35's out of the sky with ease...it's nonsense to say such a thing. ya you dont need to dog fight at mach 4
ill zip in fire off a few and be gone while your pulling your wire
and have tagged 4 of ya befor eyou realize your on candid camera
your talking aobut intercepting
this is ME zipping in at 2800 MPH fireing off then running away
GOT YA nanannana
oh where am i and your at 700 mph ROFL
funny as my nick says
you go on thinking you need to dog fight |

FOR other jets heck india is buying up 200 of the russian t-50's
with other nations totalling 600 orders
you might want to evaluate your americans screwups and lack of ability to do the job how long they been working at it? |

Of course, it doesn't matter if it's faster if it gets shot down before it can actually be a threat to the F35....

| The L-39 is a Czechoslovakian (designed before the split) jet primarily made as a trainer, though some armed variants exist. Not really good for "jet fighter" duties. You're comparing apples and oranges here.
There are much better used jets out there. A lot of air forces buy used U.S. fighter jets (F-16 especially).

Canada definitely can - if they want to. It just takes the will; the money; and a reason to do it.

FaxCap Funny considering how the F-14 and F-15, which both came out around the same time, were way more expensive (the F-14, F-15 and F-16 were all in the competition that lead to us purchasing the F-18, and for the 14 and 15, cost was a major factor in them losing). If I recall correctly, the F-16 is one, if not THE most successful jet fighter ever (at least in the western world). Tons of countries use it. One of the reasons we didn't buy it was... single engine.

I don't believe that any of the ones lost to accidents were as a result of both engines dying. Whereas the attrition rate of the F-16 is something like 6% due to engine failure. In F-35 terms that would be about 5 aircraft, or something in the order of $600 million and maybe a few pilots as well. |

According to this -- admittedly very US-centric -- commentary on CNN, the only thing Iran built was a shoddy fiberglass mockup. All I can say is, click through the pictures and comments and decide for yourself:
»news.blogs.cnn.com/2013/02/08/ir···pt=hp_t3
Whatever the truth may be, an F-22 or F-35 this ain't. If it seems hard to believe that Iran could built a competitive modern fighter jet, especially with the sanctions that they're under, it might be because they can't. |

funny, quit posting nonsense.
"Though the T-50 tops out at 1300 mph compared to the F-35's 1200 mph, the American fighter can launch its internal missiles and smart-bombs while flying faster than the speed of sound."

We won't really know which aircraft will end up being "the best" but
those were Americans writing that article.
I guess sometime in the future 4-F35's and 4 T50s will face each
other over a middle east country and we'll find the answer to the question.
