it's nice. but it's not so new so I think it will be replaced sometime near future.

vadereclipse · « **Reply #282 on:** October 23, 2007, 06:46:19 AM »

the sea harrier has stopped production

yes, its American, but we signed a contract with Britain for them to buy some, along with alot of other countries

They have working production models and its gonna start replacing American planes in 2011, im not sure if that means the other countries get it then too or not

And its designed to be second only to the f-22 Raptor in air to air combat

what is designed isn't always achieved.

Scarecrow63 · « **Reply #288 on:** October 26, 2007, 07:18:57 PM »

Im sure they did fine this time

GrndAdmrlPellaeon · « **Reply #289 on:** October 26, 2007, 10:36:40 PM »

I still dont understand why its designed not to be the best. Why? Why can't we use the F-22? This just shows how wimpy our country is becoming.

Scarecrow63 · « **Reply #290 on:** October 26, 2007, 10:48:59 PM »

We're still gonna use the F-22, the F-22 will be the primary air superiority fighter
But the F-35 is designed for use by the Marines and Navy because, unlike the F-22, it has the ability to take off and land vertically
So we'll use both, i mean what airforce in the world uses a single airplane design?

Meyer · « **Reply #291 on:** October 27, 2007, 02:18:14 AM »

none. yet. maybe someday some country, propably usa, russia or china will develop a fighter that is good at combat, cheap to manufacture and easy to repair.

vadereclipse · « **Reply #292 on:** October 27, 2007, 05:25:34 AM »

what is china's military like other than huge?

Meyer · « **Reply #293 on:** October 27, 2007, 06:20:45 AM »

well it's propably one of the strongets in the world. and large and adcvanced enough that usa and russia fear it.

vadereclipse · « **Reply #294 on:** October 27, 2007, 07:00:15 AM »

really? its the single largest in the world, but i disdnt know how advanced it was

Meyer · « **Reply #295 on:** October 27, 2007, 07:21:42 AM »

advancent enough to destroy usa. and FYI china isn't the largest country in the world russia is. china has the most population, about 4 times the population of usa. so don't say that they aren't a threat to usa because americans fear iran is a threat to them. and iran is no where near as large threat to usa as china or russia. in the words of Homer J. Simpson: "suck it up!"

vadereclipse · « **Reply #296 on:** October 27, 2007, 07:25:48 AM »

i know china isnt the largest country in the world
chinas 3rd or 4th (depending on source)
but china has the highest populstion

Meyer · « **Reply #297 on:** October 27, 2007, 08:11:52 AM »

didn't I mjust mention it?

vadereclipse · « **Reply #298 on:** October 27, 2007, 08:28:59 AM »

oh yeah
overlooked it
FYI, russia has roughly a 12th the population of China
and yeah
bush's paranoia about Iran is ridiculous
Iran support no problem
even if they get 1 nuke bush has hundreds
and to make a point, bush is a huge hypocrite

It is your opinion. But how could China beat USA in a war? There main income comes from USA. And on the degree of technology, it can't hope to beat USA. How can you say " USA and Russia fear it"? It doesn't take much to scare either one today. You don't have to try to scare Russia. They are a good ally but they'd be toast.
