Problem with chicoms is they will never disclose any problems with their fighters (which is smart in my opinion) unlike the US does with their F-35s and the rest of their fighter fleet. Russian Flankers are known as hangar queens when used a lot so it's not weird to think that copies/clones of Flankers are going to require more maintenance after flying for certain amount of time. Chicoms don't fly their fighters like the US does or other western air forces I wonder what would happen to a nations Flanker fleet if they flew them as much as the US flies their F-15, F-16, F-18 and F-35 fleets. How long would those Flankers last before they become grounded for maintenance. Chicoms can claim whatever but I guarantee you their Flanker pilots do not get anywhere near as much flight time as they claim. How many of their Flanker fleet will be available in a major naval air conflict against Taiwan or Japan... or both at same time? Better yet after 3 days of a major naval air conflict how many Flankers will be available?
You mean the F-35s you deploy can't or won't upload Stuxnet kind of E virus when dealing with PLAAF ? Would that be a correct reading of the situation TEEHEE & if so why ?
Are you dumb or something? How the hell did you come to this conclusion to what I posted?
For missiles to take their cue from, you make my original point so well, thanks. For missiles to take their cue from. The planes onboard systems can do the jamming until HOJ becomes an issue.
The answer is, "yes." I have him on ignore, after several long years of reading his garbage.
Try actually buying an F-35 and you'll find out that you don't. That was just some guy being diplomatic, you're still too aligned with Russia for access to US stealth tech.
This is how I concluded inbred hillbilly.
Coming from a guy who calls himself a qualified engineer employed in the defence sector who couldn't tell pilot signals & also was ignorant of the definition of bachelor , who thinks there's nothing of consequence in the ME & also plays games online aged 50 competing with pre teens exclusively & winning against them by cheating apart from looking forward to films like Top Gun 2 beside learning about history & current affairs exclusively thru viewing of Hollywood movies like Dracula & Rambo & who also happens to be Irish to boot .
The moron thinks he's being clever. I post and give an explanation why many folks think Russian fighters/Flankers are pretty much junk by listing the countries outside Russia that fly them which is a pretty pathetic list of countries all of them being third world and he comes back with posting about what the head of the F-35 program hinted about the F-35 having E-virus capability. Then he post why does Japan need allies against china as if he making a point when he's not. North Korea and Iran's military are as crappy as it gets but because South Korea wants allies against the North and Saudi Arabia, UAE and Israel have join forces against Iran somehow in this guys delusional mind North Korea and Iran's air force is not junk/inferior?
Listen inbred the only moron here is you . You're here to make a case for the JSF & you're doing a fine job of it minus the trash talk . You continue with the latter & be prepared for it to be reciprocated . I think multiple members including the moderators here have explicitly warned you as opposed to informing you of the same as civil language & you seem mutually exclusive & as they say out here in India - laaton ke bhoot baaton se nahin maante hain. In dummy terms what that means is - you get further with a kick on someone's backside & a fist in the gut followed by polite language than you'd get by just polite language. That's meant for you . Ponder over it .
Get off your high horse or in your case elephant sweet heart. There's a reason why some members in here have you on ignored.
Some members ? You mean the Irishman. A certified clown whom none take seriously . Just like you . Ponder that .
You get a missile launch warning well before the seeker kicks in. You use the onboard EA before a missile is launched and likely the radar will never get a lock, no missile fired, no need to use the TRD.
It's actually a cow in his case, this is a well established fact.
Someone should have given shorty a blade so he could scrap off some RAM when no one is looking.

That doesn't refute the point I made, you get MLD and MAW well before the missile is within seeker range, which may be extremely close against a stealth aircraft.
But you wouldn't start creating a bigger RCS in the sky until it's absolutely necessary to throw a decoy.
