The tricky thing is that, if we’re fighting someone else like Russia, the F-35 just is the best all-around plane. Heck, all-around might not even be needed there.
The whole point of the F35 was “youre dead before you even detect it”. The fact that the US hasn’t refuted the loss indicates to me that it did happen and it wasn’t a fluke.
Since I already got a reply about this, I’ll just copy-paste.
They hit one, out of how many that have been openly flying over Iran, day in and day out.
Probably, it managed to fly low over the one tiny patch of land that had a shoulder launched missile operator on it, and did so in broad daylight. That day, remove any of those variables, and the survivability goes from 99.9% to 100%, without even being careful.
It has a radar section like a large ball bearing, which is small, but not nothing and not as small as a B-21. And, it’s not fucking invisible, you can still see it with your naked eyes! Impossible to shoot down was never the bar anyone set.
What, aren’t those two mutually exclusive? It sees you first, or you see it first.
If it always kills you before you see it, regardless of any measure of luck on your part, you can’t shoot it down. So, another way to put this, is it only kills you before you see it most of the time. And, almost all of the time vs. Iran specifically.
Something could be impossible to shoot down because its too fast/maneuverable. Or impervious to damage. That same thing could also be completely incapable of killing you. Maybe don’t lazily copy and paste replies when you don’t understand the point you’re replying to.
If your stance is that an F35 getting shot down doesn’t matter; you can go ahead and have that opinion. I’m not gonna waste my time trying to convince you otherwise.
The only one threatening us is the country trying to sell us their weapons.
Russias is in too deep in Ukraine and trying to push into other nato nations.
For Russia to get to Canada, they pretty much need to go through Alaska anyways. I’m sure Trumpkin would allow it. I don’t know that the rest of the U.S. military would. At this point though, who knows.
I’m worried about the fascist ugly Americans more so than Russia.
And also, hasn’t Iran proved that they can knock down the f-35s?

Buying “smart” weapons from the US is a suicide plan.
If we’re worried about them, anyway.

Iran shot an F35.

Agreed. Dunno why you’re arguing that.

Again, the only single country on the planet threatening Canada is the country trying to sell us the weapons.
Fuck America.
I’d anticipate in the future with the arctic conflict Russia will be a problem, but yes the more imminent is just the US

IF the USA allows those weapons to be used against Russia.
