Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning and F-22 'Raptor' : News & Discussion

That's what I'm saying: it has an L-16 receiver but it transmits via MADL to a relay that does the conversion to L-16.
If the F-35 was a full member of the L-16 network there would be a conflict between the tracks merged using MADL and the L-16 tracks
You are actually referring to the F-22, which can only use Link 16 on receive while using the IFDL for F-22-only transmit. The F-35 doesn't face this issue.
The F-22 and the F-35 Are Struggling to Talk to Each Other ... And to the Rest of USAF | Air & Space Forces Magazine
The Air Force is working to improve communications between the two aircraft and its larger networks

You seem to have misunderstood that statement. This is an extension of our earlier discussion on datalink and formatting of data. Gary's referring to how the F-35 checks how data that's been sent by it is interpreted by other platforms, which is transmitted back to the F-35.
“The challenges were more associated with how the other platforms would interpret our data and making sure what we sent them provided them good information rather than information they couldn't use because of how it was formatted.
The part in bold would require the F-35 transmitting data over the Link 16 after all.
The F-35 carries the full capabilities of the Link 16, and it carries an additional receiver for research purposes.
I understood but I wanted to be in bad faith like him.
No you did not understand. This is the problem with frenchy Rafail fanboys that I keep talking about. DELUSIONAL.I understood but I wanted to be in bad faith like him.

House Armed Services Committee chairman Rep. Adam Smith said that as missile technology has advanced, the F-35 is not as survivable in as many environments.

Whaaaat Adam Smith is knocking the F-35 again? Nooooo say it aint so!! Smith is a known F-35 hater because of his Boeing connections, honey, this isn't his first hit and won't be his last.F-35 Not as Survivable as Previously Hoped, HASC Chair Says

HASC Chairman Calls on Congress to ‘Scrub’ F-35 Program
HASC Chairman Calls on Congress to 'Scrub' F-35 Program - USNI NewsEven though he hates the F-35 why don't you post what he said? Let me do that for you..
-Upgrades in missile technology over the past several years have made the F-35 less survivable than previously hoped, the chairman of the House Armed Services Committee said Aug. 31, as he pushed for more investment in smaller, unmanned platforms.
Speaking at a virtual event hosted by the Brookings Institution, Rep. Adam Smith (D.-Wash) was quick to note that the F-35 remains more survivable than other fighters “by quite a bit,” pointing to the F-16 for comparison.
“But it’s also got some environments that it’s not going to be able to get into, because of how much missile technology has improved since we started building the thing,” Smith said.
Lol. Meaning the Rafail would do a lot worse.
Nice try but you failed as you've been doing ever since I've been here. Good thing for you I'm here to correct you properly about the F-35, it's critics and your Rafail.
'It's how they always get their money from congress. The most advanced military in the world is at a disadvantage because of a news article.. $771B isn't enough. Give us more money for my new project.'
He is reduced to making comparisons with F-16s to try to support his claims! Pathetic, why doesn't he try to compare with the Rafale? No doubt he doesn't even know all the things that make it superior, and neither do you, but that doesn't stop you from talking rubbish.Whaaaat Adam Smith is knocking the F-35 again? Nooooo say it aint so!! Smith is a known F-35 hater because of his Boeing connections, honey, this isn't his first hit and won't be his last.

HASC Cites ‘Enormous Concern’ About F-35; Readiness Chair Suggests Buy Cutback
HASC Cites ‘Enormous Concern’ About F-35; Readiness Chair Suggests Buy Cutback | Air & Space Forces Magazine
HASC is concerned about the F-35’s sustainment, and suggested Congress may cut back on purchases of the jet to let the sustainment enterprise catch up.
www.airforcemag.com
The House Armed Services Committee has “enormous concern” about the F-35 fighter’s sustainment, and Congress may cut back on purchases of the jet to let the sustainment enterprise catch up, Readiness subcommittee chair Rep. John Garamendi (D-Calif.) said March 19.
Garamendi, near the end of a hearing on the military’s organic maintenance capability, said the “huge problem” with the F-35 is, “we buy more planes [but] we’re not able to maintain the older ones, so the more we buy, the worse the overall performance has been. That is going to stop.” He did not elaborate about whether he intends to try to restrain F-35 purchases in the upcoming fiscal 2022 budget.
Talking rubbish? Says the man living in the rubbish pile. That's all you've been doing when it comes to the F-35 luckily for you I'm here to finally call out your BS. Shall we take a look at your history of rubbish talk? You frenchies and your BS claims of the F-35 and Rafail will no longer go unchecked this is why some of you in here are very upset that I'm here.
No, in the end we like clowns, it relaxes us, especially when they think they're convincing everyone when in fact they're making fools of themselves.
Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning and F-22 'Raptor' : News & Discussion
1. Made no such claim. 2. India media made the claim and it was picked up by some in western media. Shame on western media for believing anything that comes out of Indian media. -The Indian Air Force (IAF) is formally requesting a classified briefing by U.S. defense contractor Lockheed Martin on...
I back up my claims from sources like F-35 pilots, Heads of F-35 program, USAF and DOD while you und Bon use sources from people not in the know and from people who love to give their opinions.
Bon thinks your Rafail supercruise range is 800 miles more than the F-22 by a lot even though the F-22 carries 18,000lb of fuel more than Rafail and its 1250 liter center tank do you also believe such idiocy? I bet you do.
I don't know what Bon Plan believes and I don't feel obliged to have the same opinions as him, but you seem to me to have a very simplified view of the effect of the mass of fuel carried on the autonomy of an aircraft. Indeed this mass is not the right variable to consider because it does not take into account the empty weight of the aircraft which is an equally important factor to consider. If we therefore neglect the aerodynamic factors and only want to evaluate the contribution of the mass of fuel carried to the range, we must examine the fuel-fraction.
- For the F-22 it is 29.3%.
- For the Rafale C it is 33.6%
- for the Rafale B it is 32%
- and for the Rafale M it is 31.4%.
Internal fuel capacity of world 4th ~ 5th Gen fighters
Su-35BM: 39.6% ~ 41.1%（Empty weight: 16,500 ~ 17,500 kg，Internal fuel: 11,500 kg） MIG-31: 39.4%（Empty weight: 21,825 kg，Internal fuel: 14,200 kg） F-35A:

Thus the F-22 does not gain any advantage in terms of range because of the mass of fuel it carries compared to the Rafale, quite the contrary.

Interesting to note that the Su-30MK, with a lower fuel fraction than the F-35A, outranges it.

Does the MK have weapons or is it clean? F-35's "disclosed official" combat radius/range numbers are done with internal weapons including its top speed unlike 4th gen fighters.
