‘morning Philip S,

I take issue with your comments that;

<< F-35 isn’t so stealth after all >> and that
<< More information coming out to confirm that the F35 is useless>>

The link you provided does not confirm either of your statements, but if you can point to anything that substantiates your claims, that would be great?

Firstly, the comments from competitor Boeing only say that Russia and China “have developed air defense systems that put the F-35’s stealth technology to the test”. I think that is what ADS do? But their technology remains untested at this time, yes? “And if those capabilities should improve”, “the ability to actually stay hidden may soon be slipping away”.

So as yet “untested”, “if”, and “may” have now been translated by you into <<the F35 is useless>>

The link you offered does not say the stealth capabilities are off spec, it just says that future detection technology “may” reduce its current edge but only “if” foreign capabilities improve?

I can’t think of any military system, from any developer from any nation that has been delivered on time, on budget or on spec. Nothing new here.

I think you should have read your own link before you posted.

Perhaps you can do that now and let us know exactly where your link supports your claims?

The main thing Nhoj is, are they good enough to keep those damn reffos out of the place.

Fortunately they are sure to be good enough to keep the rotten greens out of power. You know the ones, they like a little luxury in their offices.

Dear Hassie,

You mean like Liberal Senator Anne Ruston from SA - who
splurged $650,000. And that's only one of the many
who have a great deal to answer to.

What a great lifestyle.
Cheauffer-driven cars, and all the other perks
and benefits not only for themselves but their
spouses and family members. A good-job if you can
get it. In the meantime, let the vunerable in our
society pay for it. Cut, cut, cuts but not to
pollies. Pay-rises are the order of the day for them.
No wonder voters are turning away from the major
parties.

Nhoj,
Your sentiments are admiral; but with nations led by persons like a KGB President we cannot be pacifist

Josephus, yep that's precisely my point. We are so primitive as a species still, that we rely on attack and defence for our survival ... no different from insects, fish, monkeys, birds etc etc etc. We are no less territorial and no less aggressive than other species.

We are not nearly as advanced a species as we "think" we are. Mankind is pretty primitive.

Try paragraph 8 then in 9 how it is changing.
