This is exactly what I said in the F-35 thread that both NGAD and B-21 are critically required to vanquish China. But then some F-35 fanboys really got upset with my comments. Here are some excerpts from the article posted by @BMD:

“It is actually our China deterrence weapon," said Rounds, who sits on the Senate Armed Services and Intelligence committees. His rhetoric surrounding the B-21 Raider is some of the first publicly directed at a specific country.

“We have the ability to let China and others know that should they become belligerent that this particular platform can carry nuclear weapons. It can carry conventional weapons, as well," Rounds said. "It can do so and penetrate their most advanced air protection systems—their air defense systems—and take out some of the most sensitive sights that they have if we perceive that they are going to be or are using them in an offensive capability.”

So quite obviously even as per top US officials F-35 ain't good enough to deter the Chinese nor can penetrate deep, hence Raider. Isn't that what I said Sweetie and Aussie? @Innominate @Optimist

What are you on about? We are having B-21 based in Australia. What do you think they will be here for? A BBQ and a few kegs of beer?

US Congress could send B-21 bombers to Australia to bolster national security

America's next-generation B-21 bomber could be sent to Australia to "accelerate" national security under a Congressional proposal put to the US Defence Secretary.

That is literal admission of the fact that F-35 just isn't good enough to defeat China. Damn millions of dollars wasted in a stupid program. Absolutely pathetic.

That seem to hit a nerve? Lol:ROFLMAO:. You are a real F-35 worshipper. But fact is everyone knows it's a mess and America is screwed without NGAD and B-21 against China. Keep your optimism regarding Fatty alive amidst all its failures.....mate;)

He's a total spaz. How the hell does he manage to stay alive without falling off a cliff or being run over by an elephant?

I've never heard of such nonsense, who the hell made the claim that the F-35 alone can defeat the whole country of China? Who has bewitched you Raj that you had to spend some oxygen on such silly claims?

Good luck when F-35 gets whooped by J-20 all over South China Sea and gets shot down by Chinese IADS. No point in then mourning if you had NGAD and B-21s earlier.

F-35 as of today is complete flop. Deal with it.

You seem to have mellowed down quite a lot , Bubba J . Resumed consuming puberty blockers or still sucking on them pacifiers ?

From defending the F-15 - to be the best 4th Gen FA ever while admitting it's a waste to now claiming that the F-35s alone can't defeat the whole country of China .

You're actually admitting it's SEAD / DEAD abilities are hyped . Tsk tsk . Live long enough & see a hero being condemned as a villain . Good example but wrong analogy considering the F-35 is yet to begin it's journey.

Poor Sweetie can't digest the fact that F-35 isn't good enough to break Chinese IADS. It has failed.

I removed you from my ignored list because of your ban. How dare you cheat on me and get banned without me having anything to do with it!!! Don't you understand I was so close to doing what I did to you last time and here I find out you did it to yourself.... HOW DARE YOU!

I guess I'll settle for your cringe drama when you get unbanned and start telling the mods permaban you or your infamous self boycott like last time which didn't last long since you couldn't stand us enjoying this forum without your presence.

I know you're lurking and it's driving you crazee... uh-oh I misspellled words and you aint here to correct me... :eek:

This is going to be fun. :ROFLMAO:
