    It's Europe, so it is your business.
    Your best interest is letting Russia annex the Ukraine? Really?

    If you can't target the F-35 with missiles, you're in trouble.

    The design isn't "primitive." That's an absurd claim.

    If stealth technology is useless, how come Europe, Russia, and China are developing stealth fighters? Do they know something you don't?

    The P-47 was a short-range fighter never suited to long-range bomber escort.

    Kinda true but still it's impacts were devastating p 47 pilots killed 7000 German aircraft more than half of them in air to air combat.

    Wrong.


    BTW, it was faster than the ME 262.
    You didn't invent jet engines, either.


    Our people broke the German and Japanese codes. If we're so dumb, how did we do it?


    Hope this helps your understanding.

    The German people ever won a war that mattered? I mean if you can't beat the Russians doesn't that kinda say a lot?

    The P-47 was a great fighter.

    The US developed the techs that counted the most. First one with an A-bomb wins. Also developed some very useful techs that gave the Axis fits such as the proximity fuse

    and unlike Germany's guided missiles which required manual guidance all the way to the target, the US had a real fire and forget guided bomb.

    It is not very limited. The unit fits into a SUV, very small. The more you have the more accurate it becomes, triangle the object.
    With todays technology, you can have in a mill second a solution.

    Its a matter of mathematics, done by computers.
    You can detect it you can kill it.
    Simple as that.

    But they could not, because they could not outperform a piston engine plane.
    The 262 could do it, even with rather shody materials.

    How do you know ? You have 3 units. connected with each other and the rest is simple math. a Computer does that in no time.

    Sure and the british jet design was way better, by all means..
    But it does nit change the historical facts of the 262.

    The computer fast enough to take the info from the 3 passive radars calculate it then give that as guidance to a missile as fast as the airplane changes directions?


    Also, missiles are easy for pilots to dodge
    Especially with chaff, flares and towed decoys..

    As soon as a active radar pops up it will be visible to an f 35 and it will die from a weasel bite.

    Ohh and do you think Lockheed is working on a spoof for passive radar? Hell i bet they already have it...

    Did the US win any wars. Besides beating up a little Island Nation in the Pacific, called Japan.
    Korea = draw
    Vietnam = run away, loss
    Bermuda = win. Bermuda!!!
    Panama= kinde a win. Panama ?
    Iraq = still fighting, basically a loss
    Syria = tail between the legs, again.
    Afghanistan = loss, running away gain, tail between the legs syndrome.

    Which wars did the US win, besides maybe Japan ?
