Should be noted this was in a scenario where the F-35 deliberately allowed the Rafale to detect it for the sake of having a dogfight.

and on top of that the F-35 is explicitly not an air superiority fighter.

"Joint Strike Fighter" *strike* F-35 is a multirole fighter bomber and it is just not going to dogfight things willingly. Its for penetrating defended airspace an eliminating ground targets. Its air to air capability is secondary to its primary role as a stealthy strike bomber. It would literally be more impressive to get this image of an F-16 or F-18, they are FAR better dogfighters.

If stealth is obsolete then why is China still trying so hard to make all aspect low RCS stealth? Israel flew dozens of sorties over Iran without even getting so much as detected. Also, detecting and being ato acquire a firing solution are to completely different things. I could shoot down an F-22 with a ww2 flak gun if I managed to 'detect' its heading and it kept its aspect and speed but that obviously never happens in the real world.

explain how the F-35 dogfighting is good training. literally anyone who thinks that dogfighting is good training for any jet is either a retard, fag, tourist, or all of the above.
multiple things must have gone horrifically wrong for a fucking stealth jet to be dogfighting. and even then you might not even have the option to dogfight as your last resort because you've already been barraged by short range air-to-air missiles.
training like this is a literal nothingburger enforced by a gigaboomer chain of command with the barest of knowledge on how their own AMRAAMS work.

Malaysian pilot in Su-30MKM and Mig-29 have proven otherwise against USAF F-15/16, USN F-18 and even F-22

For reminder of what happened during the last Cope Taufan, the F-22 lost to the Sukhois by a 3 time lockdown confirmed kills. the RMAF Sukhoi SU-30MKM were be able to detect and locked into USAF Lockheed Martin F-22A Raptor in stealth mode during Cope Taufan 2014 joined USAF & RMAF exercises.

None other than former US Navy pilot Trevor "Gonky" Hartsock is a Boeing contractor who'd trained RMAF Hornet pilots when MLU prog was initiated to bring the Malaysian D++ Nitestrike variant to Mod25X standard.

Gonky's top 5 toughest dogfight:
>1. RMAF BAe Hawk Mk108/208
>2. Northrop F-5
>3. RMAF Su-30MKM
>4. F-16
>5. Boeing F/A-18

As per Gonky's deduction as former USAF Reserve adversary pilot and former Boeing contractor, the RMAF Su-30MKM is considered as a formidable fighter in the air giving great opportunity for USAF pilots to hav a feel on their potential opponent.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duejFDL04P0

The F-22 never comes around Malaysia anymore because China doesn't like the idea of Su-30MKM which is more advanced than their basic J-15 being used by Raptor pilots to develop countermeasures.

Let me slow this down for you because you and so many others need it:
Everyone and their moms are trying to make better and better missiles and retarded quotes from the vietnam war isn't the slam dunk that you think it is.
Dogfighting with the F-35 is retarded BECAUSE it's an excellent A2A platform due to its stealth. And in the slim case where BVR isn't enough, the WVR missiles are already so fucking powerful with HMD and datalinks that it would take lottery-tier levels of chance for the gun to ever be relevant.

Firstly, if your pacing threat is China, you're Taiwan or you're losing, because China's military is for two things, Taiwan, and dickwaving. Secondly, the F-35 does not have good all aspect stealth, its stealth is mediocre from anything other than a frontal aspect.
>Israel flew dozens of sorties over Iran without even getting so much as detected.
Oh, you're an Israeli shill, gotcha. You can't be convinced that you're wrong because you already know it and you just don't care, you already know Israel mostly lobbed standoff munitions from outside of Iranian air defense coverage, and 99% of the air defense suppression was achieved by Mossad rather than from the air, and that was against an air defense network that was barely integrated at all and most of it was Hawk clones. This is like the idiots who crow about how great the Gulf War air campaign was, it's just fucking embarrassing.

Very impressive if what you meant by 'stealth mode' was a clean config, but two things to keep in mind. First, it's well known that F-22 pilots don't give it the beans or push the airframe to it's limits when training outside of the US, especially with such a China neutral ally, second, the SU-30M might've gotten tone with assistance from his IRST pod and HMS, but the chances of an R-73 actually tracking so far off bore when fired is going to be low.

That's cope. The reason it's retarded is because it can't carry any missiles that are good for dogfighting in its internal weapons bay, so it can't be both stealthy and dogfight.

This, these contests are like "I'm gonna have a duel with someone only they are allwoed to start with their gun already drawn and pointed at me."

In actual tests where they had to find and deal with F-35s without seeing them or being told where they are, last I heard (year+ ago) the F-35 had about a 35:1 kill ratio vs 4th gen aircraft. This is good but not like unbelievably good like F-22 bring either 70:1 or 200:1 or something like that in similar scenarios.

And we generally would expect performance like this between gens. That is what the fucking gen marker is for. And, F-35's known ratios are actually better than we would expect for example F-16 vs F-4. In the real world the average F-16 would be utterly helpless against an unknown F-35 trying to not be seen in BVR. Which is what they are supposed to fucking do. Talking about dogfighting an F-35 is slightly less "dude that is not what they are fucking for" than dogfighting a B-2. They can attempt to defend themselves in close range but aren't remotely designed to win that fight like the F-22.

I like Singapore, so I hope they don't do that. The F-35 is a boondoggle, and copying it is like copying a speds homework. The F-35 is the F-104 of our era, but somehow worse. At least the F-104 was genuinely technologically impressive for its era, even if it was a temperamental bitch, while the F-35 can barely fight WVR, is barely as stealthy as planes we made 30 years ago, and has availability rates that are fucking humiliating. If it was a small arm it'd have been made by Sig. The only reason I don't buy the idea that it comes with a kill switch is that I have no idea how you'd tell that apart from the damn thing just shitting itself on its own. Singapore should save their money and wait for a current generation fighter that isn't dogshit to come along, if that ever happens.

India just copes because IIRC they spent more for their Rafales than any country ever spent for a plane ever. That might be adjusted for gdp or inflation or something, but they still massively overspent for a mediocre plane that got mogged by made in China crap the one time they actually used it.

I just want to add to this post that India's impotence in the air is the ultimate military cuckoldry. They have good(ish) relations with every major military manufacturer on the planet and can pick and choose what to buy. If those morons weren't morons they could be operating Patriots alongside S-400s with the source codes for both and integrating them together, instead to my knowledge their strategic air defenses consist of promises that they're totally going to have great air defenses by 2020. India is a disappointment to me as a /k/ommando because I want Ace Combat shit with squadrons of Su-27s operating aongside export new production F-22s. I know F-22s legally can't be exported, but US law is fucking meaningless these days, so if they weren't retards they could totally swing it. Those retards don't even have AEW&C planes. North Korea has AEW&C planes and their GDP is a fucking rounding error away from not existing at all.

Malaysia has complained that their F-18s can basically only be used for air shows since they would need the source code in order to program them to attack other countries. I've heard that's why India never seriously considered getting the F-35.

The F-35 completely shits on the F-16 in a dogfight. This is a scenario where they put the F-35 in the worst position possible where the Rafale starts behind the F-35, at velocities that handicap the F-35 and favor the Rafale, just as they did with the F-22. It's training for both the US and their NATO allies, not a real world scenario.

And what you do then is what this training is for, idiot. The worse case scenario. When everything goes to complete shit, what the fuck do you do? Give up, or fall back to these training exercises, and pull that rabbit out of your ass and use that training to win and come back alive? Hope for the best, but plan for the worst.

What happens when you're all out of missiles, in an envelope that favors your enemies' fighter, with that enemy having the better position directly on your tail? How do you handle that mentally? How do you handle that strategically? What's your game plan? Are you going to freak out mentally, panic, and allow your enemy to kill you because you've never been put in such a disastrous position before? No, you've seen this in training multiple times, and it's not new to you. So, you don't freak out mentally. Okay, so you didn't freak out mentally and completely shut down. What's your plan now? Well, good thing we've trained this before, and I now know what I need to do strategy wise to get my F-35 in a position to where I have the advantage allowing me a chance at getting the gun kill against my enemies' fighter. This is literally what this is for: 1) Prepare your F-35 pilot mentally for the worst case scenario in a fight, and 2) allow your F-35 pilots to devise strategies that will allow them to gain the upper hand in the worst case scenario to allow them the best chance of getting a kill, or at least to get them in a position where they can break off the fight and make it home alive. It's a rather simple way of training that's been going on since Top Gun was started.

Also, I never said the whole exercise was to favor the OPFOR to such a degree. I said this individual engagement was a scenario to favor the OPFOR to that degree. The exercise will have dozens of engagements for a number of different scenarios. Some will favor blue, and some will favor red, and some will be neutral to blue and red. With each scenario being run multiple times within the allotted timeframe given for each scenario when this exercise was being planned. Again, there's a reason we only have one four second clip from one engagement for a multi-day exercise with dozens and dozens of engagements.

The US would never ever in a million years post videos from engagements during an exercise, nor would the US ever talk about the specifics of an exercise and engagements within. The US doesn't want to embarrass their allies, nor do they want to give away performance parameters of their fighters or their allies fighters. It's called having couth.

Again, the US would never ever release footage of them dominating in an exercise composed of them and their allies. LM doesn't need to release footage of them dominating allied fighters; they already have enough data out in the public, and classified test data available to allies interested in buying the F-35 to speak for LM's F-35. Dassault is extremely desperate for sales, so, they have to do these underhanded tactics to desperately bring in export sales of their 4th gen fighter in a 5th gen world. Even with Dassault sinking to this level, they don't get any sales.
>Again self defeating bullshit since now you're saying that the footage isn't easily released.
When did I say it wasn't easily releasable? The US could do it in 1 second, but they won't as they don't want to embarrass their allies, nor do they want to potentially give away strengths and weaknesses of US and allied fighters. As I've said, the US has couth, something frogs lack.


>You literally just boiled your argument to USA GOOD DASSAULT BAD IGNORE EVERYTHING ELSE. Also it's not up to the plane manufacturer to censor exercises between two sovereign countries.
It is when the country building the Rafale is desperate to boost their domestic fighter programs as they're floundering, and need external sales for cash injection to their fighter programs.

Sounds like cope to me. Just because they're shit at manufacturing them doesn't mean they don't desperately need orders to lower per unit prices and inject money into their fighter programs so they can increase R&D, expanded production facilities, etc.

>France (70m pop) delivered 21 planes in 2024 vs USA (350m) delivering 110 planes. Per capita their production rates are actually nearly equal.
The F-35 is 10 times more difficult to produce, as it's 10 times more advanced than the 4th gen Rafale. It's not comparable.

>Wow the notoriously volatile military orders fluctuated and they only sold 150% of their annual production capacity? 30 is still faster than their 2024 production rate but you obviously aren't good at numbers.
Cope, cope, cope. Sales in '24 were 60% less than '23.

>Good job contradicting your previous claim about Dassault releasing the video and about these videos being released further.

That means nothing. Just that they can't produce Rafales for shit - even when 90% of the Rafale is foreign parts. Say thank you, US, for making me parts for my fighter because I can't.

>Stop moving goalposts. It's up to the government not a random contractor to release data from some exercise.
Dassault isn't some random contractor. It's France's only fighter producer and the number one military contractor France has. That's like saying LM doesn't have pull in the US gov. Come on now. This just makes you look like a complete disingenuous liar.
>Nobody is bribing 5 politicians because USA lost another exercise fight.
No, they're bribing foreign customers to buy their POS fighter. They're conspiring with the French gov to release positive propaganda to increase sales, which in turn helps the French gov.
Dassault is up to their eyeballs in corruption scandals as far back as the 70s.

These dogfight contests are retarded. Can't see any credible scenario where a Rafale and an F-35 would be engaged in a one on one dogfight. Yes, a 5th gen multirole fighter should still be able to dogfight but it's like saying tank crews should still be able to operate rifles. It's a last resort that means you fucked up multiple times already if you come to this point.

But I understand it's the only thing they can do since no one wants to show the real capabilities of stealth tech, radars, IR and optical detectors, countermeasures, ECM and so on...

Germany is increasing their F-35 order by 15 planes once they figure out their budget and planning. Furthermore, it was in the context of everyone buying, or designing stealth aircraft for future use, just as Germany is doing with the FCAS program... Not one country - besides poor coping shitholes - is sticking with 4th gen non-stealth platforms for future use. Which was my whole fucking point. Way to be a complete retarded, though.
>Stop making this retarded shit up about it.
What, that even Germany with this so-called stealth beating technology is buying stealthy F-35s, and designing a stealthy fighter in the FCAS program for future use? Seems that the mere mention of the F-35 makes you seethe like no other, though.
>The EF is still gonna be their workhorse. And they're not interested in expanding f35 beyond that purpose.
Only because they don't have the money to buy more. They're cucks with an abysmal military budget, having to use brooms to train, and running out of ammo because it's too important to give that money to shitskin inbreds instead of investing in their military. The commies in charge think the world is all sunshine and rainbows, and they don't need a military.

We learn the hard way after failure of Project PERISTA. The Americans are cannot be completely trusted as the Malaysian sees how the mighty American have to kneel before their economy "partner". The Singaporean lobby.

Malaysian MiG-29 and Su-30 purchases are inherently affected by US export policies. Missiles Americans are willing to sell for US made fighters for Malaysia or Indonesia will always drag couple model generations behind what they have sold to Australia or Singapore. The real reason why RMAF bought MiG-29's is because Americans refused to sell 'em AMRAAM's for Hornets. US strategic partnership with Singapore basically means that US will not supply anything to Malaysia that would pose serious threat to Singapore. They literally approved sale of AMRAAM's to Malaysia only in 2015 and amount was like 6 captive training missiles, 10 live missiles and option for another 10 missiles.

Contrary to what people say, Malaysia bought russian and american aircraft out of necessity, not simply because of shit and giggles. For years malaysia had been denied access to more modern aircraft because the US is playing favorites with singapore, philippines and thailand. At one point they just said "fuck this" and went to the russian instead. America putting both Indonesia and Pakistan under military sanction really spooked Malaysian decisionmaker hence why they're willing to buy russian made equipment which is generally cheaper and russia is willing to accept almost anything as payment.

>Malaysia wanted more F/A-18

Singaporean lobbying to the US is to blame. Singapore basically bribes US Congressman to block the sale of the latest US weapons to SEA. Malaysia originally wanted to buy Korean K1 but was prevented as the FCS is American and require congress approval and clinton administration essentially stonewalling the process which forced malaysia to look elsewhere for its tank programme and bought Polish PT-91M instead. Same when we wanted to buy F-15s but were forced to buy Mig-29 and Su-30. We managed to get F/A-18Ds though, as the US wants us to use it against the Chinese navy.

Despite the fact that Malaysia is a larger and more strategically important country when it comes to countering the PRC in the South China Sea, the US ... has chosen to favor Singapore diplomatically and arm it with latest equipment like F-35 and HIMARS and give them basing rights in Guam. While Malaysia's armed forces facing budgetary constraints. Yet US only provides token assistance to Malaysia such as donating maritime surveillance radar, coast guard ship and MPAs. Just because Malaysia in the past adopted a principled neutral stance and refuse to support illegal US war in Iraq, Israeli genocide in Gaza and condemn Russian war in Ukraine.

Eventhough the US bribing Malaysia not to join BRICS with sale of F-35, it wont be easy for them if the US Congress keep trying to meddle in and trying to approve it only with terms. Although both countries are friends, Malaysia is not that close with US, unlike Singapore , which the US gave much favour too. Also, Putrajaya (Malaysia) did not recognized Israel and dont have any Diplomatic relationship with Tel Aviv. Unlike Singapore which is the strongest supporters of Israel's war against the Palestinian people. So, you can do the math why Malaysian prefer to get 2nd hand F-18 from Kuwait as a temporary "stop-gap measure" only, as a temporary filling in the procurement of fifth or sixth generation fighter jets that will begin in the 14th Malaysia Plan (RM14 & RM15) 2030-2040.

of course, it's dangerous if the weaponry leans more towards the west, especially America, the strangest policy is, the fighter jets have been purchased but their use requires permission from them. For F-18 Malaysia, the Malaysian technician was not given the source code for the settings when there was a mission, they had to report to America first. And again, Turkiye, just because they bought defense equipment from Russia was kicked out of the F-35 program, remember that before Indonesia was embargoed, the Air Force was paralyzed.

Holyshit, stop foaming at the mouth like a Pavlovian conditioned inbred mongoloid, every time you read the words F-35. It seems to really set you off when you wee F-35+Germany together. Why? It screams of mental illness, seriously.

>You're the one making up ridiculous shit over like 20 f35 and a dozen sparepart corpses and training aircraft.
What, exactly, and I "making up"? How is stating the objective fact Germany is buying the F-35 because it's stealthy, and designing the FCAS to be stealthy, too? Maybe stop seething because you see F-35+Germany together, lower that heart rate, and actually read what I've posted in the context of the posts I was replying to.

>There's like a handful of better examples you could have brought up but you literally chose the one country that specifcally only bought it for nato commitment and not because it performs well.
They specifically bought it because it's the only stealth multirole fighter that's capable of carrying a tactical nuclear gravity bomb. And the only tactical nuclear multirole fighter with a guaranteed ability to fly into highly contested airspace within Russia and China and deliver said tactic nuclear gravity bomb. They could've bought the F-15E second-hand, but we all know it doesn't have the ability to fly within Russia or China uncontested to deliver the B61. They bought it specifically because of its stealth features, and the benefits of having a stealth fighter gives them. Which, also, why they're designing the FCAS to be stealthy from the jump. I specifically brought up Germany AND CHINA because the retard mentioned Germany's and China's supposed "major advances in passive detection" making stealth virtually obsolete (see: >>64148812). Hence, me replying directly to his post asking why, then, is Germany buying F-35s, along with pursuing a stealth fighter in the FCAS program. Just as China has built, and are building nothing but stealth platforms for future use (see: >>64152215).

Let's be honest, it's because none of them can afford a significant F-35 fleet. I would say, though, for the size of Germany's AF 35 F-35s already ordered, with the potential to increase that number to 50, is a pretty significant fleet. Wouldn't you say? It's nearly 16% of their total fighter fleet (not counting the potential extra 15 they may order). If you want to only go by German fighters that are combat capable, that number is 39 EFs, and 26 Tornados, for a grand total of 65 combat capable fighters out of their fleet of 221. So, that order of 35 F-35s compromises 54% of Germany's combat capable fighter fleet. Seems pretty significant, to me. No? Frogs will never buy the F-35 because they're asshurt frogs, and it would destroy that unearned sense of superiority they have. Spain is too poor to afford F-35s, so that was never really an option for them.

But, let's be honest: the FCAS program is going to fail, or it's going to be a shell of what the program claims, and will be a basic 5th gen larping as a 6th gen. Why in the fuck is Germany going to but a carrier capable fighter when they have no carrier, and can't afford to keep their fleet of EFs airworthy anyway? And how are they going to afford a $150 million fighter designed for carriers just to appease frogs? Spain, again, is too poor to afford the F-35, they're definitely not going to afford the FCAS (if by so chance a miracle occurs and the FCAS fighter is actually built) that will cost at least $150 million per unit. The same for France, how are they going to afford a $150 million fighter? Just hoe many of them can Germany, France, and Spain afford? The FCAS program was doomed to fail from the start.

FCAS seems like a big cope project to me because how does one skip a full generation of institutional knowledge and make something without that experience? By the pace it's going, it's going to be done 15 years after the NGAD reaches service and by then the US will already be flight testing their 7th gen.

Did you get everything about your statement mixed around? BAE and Leonardo were directly involved in the F-35 JSF design program since the CDP in '95 and 2001. Italy assembles F-35s locally at Cameri
, so does Mitsubishi in Nagoya. The UK is the only Tier 1 partner that has real access to more than a couple compartmentalized non critical systems. Meanwhile France and Germany haven't built anything new since the Typhoon and Rafale entered service 25 years ago. They are so far behind it's not even funny.

Say thank you, for letting me copy your AESA radar, Israel! (see pic) Also, say thank you, Israel, for letting China buy the Lavi design and test data to make the J-10! The F-16 has the AN/APG-83 Scalable Agile Beam Radar (SABR) AESA.

A shitty one with a +/- 5 degree FOV, which still needs to use the radar to get a targeting solution for firing weapons. The F-16 has the LM Legion targeting pod with the much better, and newer IRST21 sensor.

>E-WAR offense/defensive
What, exactly, is the J-10s EA (EW) suite, and what are its capabilities? The F-16 has the AN/ALQ-131 Electronic Countermeasures (ECM), and AN/ALQ-184 Electronic Countermeasures (ECM) systems. They're getting upgraded with the much more sophisticated AN/ALQ-257 Integrated Viper Electronic Warfare Suite (IVEWS), and allied F-16s getting the AN/ALQ-254(V)1 Viper Shield, along with having the AN/ALE-50 Advanced Airborne Expendable Decoy (AAED) systems since the '90s. Along with the ability to carry HARM missiles, and the AN/ASQ-213 HARM Targeting System (HTS) to geolocate threat emitters (radars) and destroy them.

>RAM coatings
Proof the J-10 has RAM coatings? I also don't see the canopy treated with a Radar absorbing coating, either. Funny. The F-16 has RAM, and also the much more important radar absorbing/blocking canopy coating. They got these under the HAVE GLASS programs. HAVE GLASS I was the canopy coating to block radar from entering the cockpit and reflecting off the pilot's helmet, ejection seat, etc that are giant EM source reflectors. HAVE GLASS II was adding RAM foam behind the radar structure, lining the intake tract, and painting F-22 derived RAM inside the intake and on 60% of the plane's forward facing surfaces. That RAM gave the F-16 a light to medium gray metallic sheen like the F-22, but didn't maintain too well. That's when they started painting them with RAM derived from the F-35 under the HAVE GLASS V (5th gen) program, giving the F-16 a dark gray almost semi-gloss finish.
https://www.key.aero/article/have-glass-making-f-16-less-observable

>diverterless intakes
Why does the F-16 need a DSI intake? Though, LM did design and install one on the F-16 to help with designing the F-35's DSI. The J-10 doesn't even have a true DSI, as it has boundary layer bleed holes inside the intake you pull the boundary layer away. Which, if designed right like the F-35's DSI, they wouldn't need, the compression hump/bump would do that for them. Same with the J-20, it has a boundary layer bleed system on its shitty designed DSI intake, too. Because chinsects can't into actual DSI.

The J-10 doesn't have TVC, beside one airframe used at airshows for face reasons. Why would the F-16 need TVC, when it already pushes the physical limits with standard control surfaces and a sophisticated FBW system (something the J-10 lacks)?

>PL-15's (they actually work BVR)
The PL-15 works in BVR? Proof? What's its combat record? Got any footage of one used in combat? What about testing? The F-16 has the AIM-120D AMRAAM, which outranges the PL-15, and unlike the PL-15, has seen actual combat, and actually works as intended.

>so why doesnt the f16 have a version like this?
Because the US isn't poor, and don't need an "F-35 at home", the has an actual F-35. Also, the F-16 does have those features - well, the features that actually matter, and aren't just their for face.

What the fuck does that even mean? I guess the US "gen 5'd" the F-16, and F/A-18 SH because they added RAM coatings and stealth features to them, then.
>while simultaneously fielding the only publicly seen 6th gens (multiple of them infact)
Chiner can't even mass produce the engine for their J-20, the WS-15, that would make it a true 5th gen, nor can they produce a radar comparable to the AN/APG-77 in the F-22 or the AN/APG-81 in the F-35 to make the J-20 a true 5th gen. And I've seen zero evidence that the J-20 has sensor fusion capabilities like the F-22 and F-35 have. And their sensor quality is highly questionable, and nowhere near the quality of the DAS EO/TS systems on the F-35. This all means that the J-20 isn't a true 5th gen, and is a 4th gen fighter/interceptor wrapped in a stealth body. The quality and materials of that stealth skin is questionable, too. Once Chiner can produce a TRUE 5th gen, then, you can claim they're producing 6th gens. Even those are highly suspect, and no, chiner isn't fielding them, they have built prototypes of questionable quality with no provable evidence that they're anything but a tailess fighter or medium bomber. IF they can't even build a true 5th gen, how can they build a true 6th gen?

They can't, that's the problem. The other problem is they do not have the funds to R&D and even produce the technology to produce a true 5th gen. Even the bongs acknowledged this when stating that the AN/APG-81 had a $900 MILLION R&D budget alone. That's on top of the money the US already spent on R&Ding and producing the AN/APG-77 which the AN/APG-81 built off and pulling a lot of tech from. The R&D budget for it had to be just as much, if not more. That's just one single component, a rather big one admittedly, to produce a true 5th gen. Not some reskinned 4th gen technologies larping as a 5th gen. Retards don't understand that it isn't just what the body looks like, and that that body is stealth that makes a 5th gen a 5th gen. That's only around 1/3 of what makes a 5th gen a 5th gen, the other 2/3s is the hardware under the skin, and the sophisticated software to run and bring it all together seamlessly. Something like 10 million lines of code just to get the JSF to block 2, and not even at IOC status. There's a reason only the US has fielded true 5th gens.
