@@geraldgoing LOL, agreed! LM has gotten more milk out of this contract than any other in the history of humanity, and they have yet to deploy it in numbers to all their customers.
For a while the Super Hornet lobby, in Canada, was so loud that those who believed in 5th Generation (The F-35a) could not get a word in edgewise. Then, thank God, Boeing shot itself in the foot. As of 2023 the F-35a is officially coming to Canada. Both NATO & NORAD will benefit from this.
The F-18 will live on as the Growler. It has unprecedented levels of ECM and the ability to shut down communication networks for hundreds of square miles.
The F-18 will live on with other nations who would love to have F-18s, 15s, and 16s. I understand pushing the boundaries of innovation, but a really skilled pilot can be deadly with any fighter
Not sure what you want to know?? I make sure it's safe for flight. I'm under NDA so not sure what else I can tell you except aerospace isn't just my job. It's who I am
In my humble opinion, this is the most beautiful and awesome aircraft ever built. When I first heard about it I was totally against it, but, thank God for utube. As I started watching videos on this amazing aircraft, I had a whole new outlook on this aircraft. It is now my favorite of all time! Thanks for sharing this interesting and informative video.
Your first opinion was correct. Please look up the specs including weapons capacity speed max combat range amount of service per hour of flight. You will find that the Eurofighter, Gripen, and especially the Rafele totally leave it in the dust in all ways except the limited 60 degree frontal only radar stealth.
Not that the Lightning II requires assistance in the battle space, but the F-35 will never engage those aircraft bc the Raptor would have already eliminated them. It's just what you get when playing with the big boys.
@@eleventy-sevenIf that's true, how come almost EVERY country that's flying those planes are retiring them to make room for a brand new fleet of F 35s? Judging by your avatar, it's obvious that you have no idea what you're talking about 😂😂
Recently went to an airshow hosted by Tinker AFB and Hill AFB had their F35 demo team there and let me tell you.. the videos do no justice on how insanely badass and powerful this JSF is. You could feel the power of the engines and the agility is INSANE. Pilot, call sign Beo was the pilot of the aircraft and she was AMAZING. Experienced my first sonic boom when she did her high speed pass and she climbed a mile to THREE miles in SECONDS it is truly the future of air superiority. An experience I’ll never ever forget. She stole the show the same show the incredible Blue Angels were at!
Vampire! Vampire! I was the first person to control an F-18 (Libya 1986) in combat. I like the way you presented the aircraft. We want to be aggressive while pointing out strengths, but never underestimating (through humility) the opponent. Reagan would call it, "Peace through Strength." V/R, J. Cryer
I've been on the ground in the UK and witnessed two f35s practice thier flight and cannon blanks and they are gently scary in thier manoeuvres. Researching thier capabilites, Wow. A border weapon immense for air to ground skirmishes
@@danieldevito6380no comparing f-35 and f-22. F-22 is a air superiority fighter and F-35 is a multi role fighter. One cost’s $150m the other $78m for A, $110m for the B and $100 for the C. Need I say more. F-35 was meant to do many things well and still keep costs at a reasonable level. The F-22 was and is unsustainable to operate in large numbers. The F-35 is the replacement fighter for multiple fighter aircrafts that are the backbone of the air fighter capability of the Military and is the reason why it will always be inferior to the F-22, you don’t drive a super car to work every they, you only use it on Sundays but you use your high end pickup truck. Same goes for this the Military needed a high end workhorse and got it in the form of the F-35
Thank you so much!! What a fantastic video and I am very happy that the USA is not resting on our competitive position with the F-22 Raptor and pushed into the F-35 Lightning II work!
@@markleyg That doesn't matter. They lost that opportunity under the Marcos and Duterte regimes. The US and allies need stable and reliable partners, not dictators and crazy people...
@@urbanwilliam5407 The Philippines receives the greatest amount of military aid from the US in Asia. Has been this way for many, many years. The Philippines gets their hardware from the US, albeit used, at bargain basement prices not found anywhere else. Over the past couple of decades at least, all the countries surrounding the Philippines have paid more for aircraft, ships, and equipment compared to the Philippines, mainly because of the US and US allies. Really the US is better off leaving the Philippines to China and consolidating with other allies. Nobody wants to deal with the instability and partner implications of a Marcos or Duterte.
Interesting to note is the evolution of this fighter. Just as a child isn't born with all the capabilities of an adult it takes years for the child to learn and become capable. The F-35 is just like a child in that respect. It takes years for the aircraft to become an adult. Just as it has taken years for this process to take place on other fighters. For example, the F-35 flew for almost 2 years before the techs even started to input rudder calculations.
The F-35 is a brilliant aircraft that keeps getting better. Now the best choice for NATO and with Canada's added purchase NORAD. The F-35 evolution will hopefully continue and the F-35a for Canada will vindicate those who have fought for her, while some politicians have worked against the best interests of the RCAF. The people who will defend Canadians are the most qualified to choose our aircraft, they have chosen the F-35a. What makes the F-35 the #1 aircraft of choice is the people who are determined for her to succeed. It is like no other aircraft in every way that counts.
I like its stealth, guns, and multirole functionality, with superior capacity to be upgraded for long-term operationality, which will pay off the initial investment.
The new engine provides either 30 percent more power or 30 percent more distance. MORE power? MORE distance performance? I mean, it's just inconthevable.
The new GE adaptive cycle engine is awesome. Plus the New AN APG-85 radar, new ceramic stealth coating, thermal signature spoofing, EW updates, Bomb bay expansion, and next gen weapons like laser’s and AIM260 etc..
Nations have finally gotten all the info on the plane. They weighed everything and crunched all the numbers. The result? There is now about a 9 year waiting list to get them. Several countries that came in late were told no dice. Australia sent three different request to buy some F-22s along with the F-35s. The US still maintains its export ban on that. Many countries who long bought Soviet planes are now cancelling and trying to buy 4th generation fighters.
I was never a fan of the Harrier, having to clean up the mess they left behind more times that I care to count. The F35 was a major leap forward. The guys (Marines) who flew the Harriers took up half of it's lift capacity with their cajones in my opinion. They served their purpose back in the day but I've been happy to see them phased out by this machine. As impractical as it might be as applied to air combat and bombing roles, I'll always think of the F-4J's as the epitome of power and style. They'd never stand a chance against these modern machines of course but then again, the muscle cars of the 60's and early 70's evoke the same feeling and the same conclusionand they are still loved and a part of Americana. Good video, talk to your editor though ("Ground BRAKing?" LOL).
Great video. The current planes - The F-35's , F-22's and other's like the {R}adar {A}bsorbing (M)aterials [ RAM ] , designs that help reflect radar energies from the sending units are all barrowed from the black birds. So Lockheed's experience is paying off now just as then. With Lockheed buying out General Dynamics - The F-16's will benefit from the technologies that can be applied to them for Updates and upkeeping.
If you were to ask me in fifth grade to tell you something that a fighter could have that is impossible. I would list half of the things the f-35 could do.
The F-35 had a rocky start which gave it an underwhelming reputation. But now I'm not so sure if that wasn't done on purpose by the US Military to sandbag, or hide its true capabilities from our enemies.. I still doubt that most ppl have any idea of what a true Masterpiece this fighter jet really is! The F-35 is destroying the competition in "Fly-offs" by our overseas allies who are looking to replace their current fleet of fighters, most of the time with scores like 20-30 kills to 0 or 1 losses, and that's why they're all choosing it even though it's a bit more money! Great video btw 👍✌
The amount of technical issues attributed to the aircraft before and after its commissioning would suggest its development has genuinely been ill-advised.
@thelwulfofnorhymbraland2333 It's to be expected when developing brand new cutting edge technology. Apparently it was worth it judging by how many countries are snatching them up ✌️
"Jack of trades, master of none. But often better than master of one" People really know absolutely nothing about this aircraft (or this quote for that matter) The F-35 can, in fact, out maneuver the f-16. "...rumors were that the f-35 was a pig. The first time the oppents showed up... they had wing tanks along with a bunch of missiles. I guessed they figured that being in a dirty configuration wouldn't really matter and that they would still easily out maneuver us. By the end of the week... they had dropped their wing tanks, transitioned to a single centerline fuel tank and were still doing everything they could not to get gunned by us. A week later they stripped the jets clean of all external stores..." This is a quote from f-35 pilot "Ian Knight" on training exercises with the f-35 against the f-16. The F-35 also has one of the highest scores in the red flag exercises, and if I remember correctly, it is beaten only by the f-22. So please for the love of god,, before you go spit balling that stupid fucking quote, do some research beyond reading an article title listening to fakes like Pierre Sprey.
Can't wait for the UK to get is full procurement of F-35B Lighting jets. 74 but hopefully the 138 as talked about by the Air Marshal Knighton in Sept 2022.
It takes extraordinary effort to keep the fleet operating even close to the required levels and the needed 'availability' rates are not sustainable long-term. By the end of the week of September 27, 2021, 52 F-35s sat idle because they didn’t have functioning engines. The problem is particularly horrid in the Air Force, since nearly all aircraft requiring an engine are F-35A variants. Service officials based plans on the promised performance rather than on the demonstrated performance and so underestimated the maintenance depot capacity they were going to need to repair broken engines. The unanticipated volume of work has overwhelmed the maintenance crews, and the backlog has grounded much of the fleet, including many aircraft being used in operational units. It takes more than twice as long as the program’s contract specifications to complete needed repairs= Constant issues, overly expensive, and unreliable.
Even if the F35 can equal the A-10 in the Ground Support role (which it can't), the pilot's experience and training count for a lot in overall effectiveness. This makes specialization prudent, if not critical. The same for the Air Superiority role, though likely not as stark of a difference than Ground Support missions. Additionally, there are a number of truisms in peace and war, one of which is to not put all your eggs in one basket. If A-10's and helicopters work the Ground Support, dedicated bombers (stealth to huge missiles), it leaves the F35 to fill in as needed and free to handle any Air Superiority roles that become necessary. I'm a huge fan of the F35, but let's be smart - reducing single points of failure in favor of robust redundancy and flexibility.
I believe the Air Force will save the A-10 or order new aircrafts and continue it’s specialty pilot training, because like you say the training those airmen do is all about supporting the men and women on the ground and they do that being proud and with high efficiency
So.... if the camera system below it that allows them to see through the bottom of the airplane gets shot.... are they just blind? Or can they revert back to the tried and true method of using you're eye balls to look through the windows? Obviously you lose the ability to look down but, what about the rest? Does the augmented helmet become useless when one of the sensors get damaged?
I don’t believe so, they hopefully designed the aircraft like a escalator would function, you can stand still on it while it moves you to your destination or if it doesn’t work you can still use it as stairs. Hopefully that analogy is part of the development process of this aircraft.
It was supposed to replace F-16, F-18, A-10, AV-8… it’s a jack of all trades, a master of none. They should have limited to replacing the A-8 Harrier, which it outperforms.
Gifted with unmatched capacity regarding AI. and stealth, multirole fighter of actual technology. It will pay its cost and improved maintenance will stimulate potential NATO buyers.
🤭... The opening photos with the accent lighting, that was at Edwards 2017 I helped set that up with the tow vehicle for the photographers. I've got some of my own photos.
Don’t get me wrong I love the F-35 JSF, and I realize that pretty much all fighter aircraft have bugs to work out. But this particular fighter jet has had ongoing mechanical and technical issues than any plane that I’ve seen. I hope that they can figure it out
When your pushing the limits of technology your bound to have issues, but like many other fighter programs before it, it wouldn’t be allowed to fly if it had dangerous and critical failures, and I am sure the ones that are crucial for the best operational capability are prioritized over time there will most likely be less and less bugs.
When speaking of the Navy's variant, and its overall size/design, to accommodate for fuel, did you mean"20,000lbs.". or 2000lbs. of extra fuel capacity??
Nobody has Answered my Question, Specifically, What Physical Attributes Or Qualities Of the F-35 Would cause it to be more Agile then The Fighting Falcon???
The most important part to any aircraft is the avionics! Top speed is neat, payload is great but these aircraft are nothing without their avionics.. hence why we sell them to other countries but they’re not the same aircraft.. we sell the shell not the avionics!
Dream on my man, the F-35 is exactly the same plane if it’s used by the USA or any of its allies. Trust me no allies would have bought the plane if they didn’t get the same plane and all its specifications and functionality everything is the same
Kind of odd that the VTOL capability was what won them the contract but of the three F-35 variants, the F-35b is the only on that has the VTOL ability. So many other elements are the real innovation to this plane... but I find it odd to already be calling it "One of America's most iconic aircraft." Lets see how it actually performs in combat in a few years first.
That wasn’t the whole reason, however it did play a key role. Not only was the f-35 able to to take off vertically from a harder location they also managed to be to go supersonic in the same flight which neither the x-32 nor the harrier could do. Another thing is the intake the x-32 had exposed compressor fans.
STOVL not VTOL. There was no KPP requiring the JSF to be able to perform a vertical takeoff. The fact that the F-35B can is simply gravy. The X-35 was chosen over the X-32 for far more reasons than its ability to perform a vertical takeoff .
lol dude, stovl was not nearly the only reason. and it has been used many times in combat already and has returned untouched back to their airfields before iran or syria even knows they have been attacked. considering ukraine is can still putting aircraft in the air against russian air defense, the russians nor anyone else stands a chance.

I'm sorry, but everytime Russia is brought up when talking about Superiority. I just chuckle! They are struggling with a very new military in Ukraine! The men in the military in Ukraine have a fraction of the experience as any other military. Yet they are holding them off quite well! So with our Technology and the actual combat experience that we have in the United States, Russia doesn't worry me a bit. Aside from their nuclear weapon arsenal. Which is imo the only thing keeping them from being bullied like the redheaded step child that they appear to be...

The F-35 can, in fact, out maneuver the f-16. "...rumors were that the f-35 was a pig. The first time the oppents showed up... they had wing tanks along with a bunch of missiles. I guessed they figured that being in a dirty configuration wouldn't really matter and that they would still easily out maneuver us. By the end of the week... they had dropped their wing tanks, transitioned to a single centerline fuel tank and were still doing everything they could not to get gunned by us. A week later they stripped the jets clean of all external stores..."
This is a quote from f-35 pilot "Ian Knight" on training exercises with the f-35 against the f-16.
The F-35 also has one of the highest scores in the red flag exercises, and if I remember correctly, it is beaten only by the f-22.
So please for the love of god,, before you go spit balling that stupid fucking quote, do some research beyond reading an article title listening to fakes like Pierre Sprey.
@@Smithgirll even though it is a multi role and isn’t an f22, the f35 is still an excellent dogfighter if need be, though it can take out targets bvr
@Penguin Noodles true, most kills are bvr now days anyways
"but oftentimes better than master of one”
Can't wait for the UK to get is full procurement of F-35B Lighting jets. 74 but hopefully the 138 as talked about by the Air Marshal Knighton in Sept 2022.
JSF¡ Like our British Lads would say¡👍✌
Brilliant¡

It takes extraordinary effort to keep the fleet operating even close to the required levels and the needed 'availability' rates are not sustainable long-term. By the end of the week of September 27, 2021, 52 F-35s sat idle because they didn’t have functioning engines. The problem is particularly horrid in the Air Force, since nearly all aircraft requiring an engine are F-35A variants. Service officials based plans on the promised performance rather than on the demonstrated performance and so underestimated the maintenance depot capacity they were going to need to repair broken engines. The unanticipated volume of work has overwhelmed the maintenance crews, and the backlog has grounded much of the fleet, including many aircraft being used in operational units. It takes more than twice as long as the program’s contract specifications to complete needed repairs= Constant issues, overly expensive, and unreliable.
I was wondering how does it defends itself against a magnetic pulse, with all its fly by wire computer
18:15 "Plevious" LOL
I only have one thing to say when it comes to the best airplane ever built. F22 for the win.
su 57 on the top
Only the person that has flyied both knows which is better 😅
@@edossp133 Not even close. F22 buries every other fighter including the SU57, The F35 or any of the Chengdu series of jets.
Ground"braking"?
:/ Surely your browser comes with spell check?
USA rocks!!!!!!
It has ground braking?
Every aeroplane has that 😂
BAE Systems should have insisted on their own production line.
Even if the F35 can equal the A-10 in the Ground Support role (which it can't), the pilot's experience and training count for a lot in overall effectiveness. This makes specialization prudent, if not critical. The same for the Air Superiority role, though likely not as stark of a difference than Ground Support missions. Additionally, there are a number of truisms in peace and war, one of which is to not put all your eggs in one basket. If A-10's and helicopters work the Ground Support, dedicated bombers (stealth to huge missiles), it leaves the F35 to fill in as needed and free to handle any Air Superiority roles that become necessary. I'm a huge fan of the F35, but let's be smart - reducing single points of failure in favor of robust redundancy and flexibility.
I believe the Air Force will save the A-10 or order new aircrafts and continue it’s specialty pilot training, because like you say the training those airmen do is all about supporting the men and women on the ground and they do that being proud and with high efficiency
So.... if the camera system below it that allows them to see through the bottom of the airplane gets shot.... are they just blind? Or can they revert back to the tried and true method of using you're eye balls to look through the windows? Obviously you lose the ability to look down but, what about the rest? Does the augmented helmet become useless when one of the sensors get damaged?
I don’t believe so, they hopefully designed the aircraft like a escalator would function, you can stand still on it while it moves you to your destination or if it doesn’t work you can still use it as stairs. Hopefully that analogy is part of the development process of this aircraft.
It was supposed to replace F-16, F-18, A-10, AV-8… it’s a jack of all trades, a master of none. They should have limited to replacing the A-8 Harrier, which it outperforms.
The F-35A is currently the cheapest Western fighter jet available to buy. No longer is it one of the most expensive.
😁
Gifted with unmatched capacity regarding AI. and stealth, multirole fighter of actual technology. It will pay its cost and improved maintenance will stimulate potential NATO buyers.
👍👍👍
Oh no.
I forgot about that Boeing plane.
I won't sleep tonight now.

When do we start building enterprise?

What Physical Attributes Or Qualities Of the F-35
Would cause it to be more Agile then The Fighting Falcon???
Don’t get me wrong I love the F-35 JSF, and I realize that pretty much all fighter aircraft have bugs to work out. But this particular fighter jet has had ongoing mechanical and technical issues than any plane that I’ve seen. I hope that they can figure it out
F-16 had more and most problems are from the B model
When your pushing the limits of technology your bound to have issues, but like many other fighter programs before it, it wouldn’t be allowed to fly if it had dangerous and critical failures, and I am sure the ones that are crucial for the best operational capability are prioritized over time there will most likely be less and less bugs.
f-15 still the king.
When speaking of the Navy's variant, and its overall size/design, to accommodate for fuel, did you mean"20,000lbs.". or 2000lbs. of extra fuel capacity??
Nobody has Answered my Question,

Make it more Agile than
The Fighting Falcon?????
I hope Canada selects this aircraft. But our current government doesn't believe in defending Canada. Our defence is so unprepared for war.
You don't know what you are talking about. Simply repeating right wing agitprop. An agitprop victim.
They just announced they are buying it. Canada always intended to buy it. They’re tier 1 partners after all.

Thrust vectoring, for one
if f35 have 2 engine..how it would be
🤔
The most important part to any aircraft is the avionics! Top speed is neat, payload is great but these aircraft are nothing without their avionics.. hence why we sell them to other countries but they’re not the same aircraft.. we sell the shell not the avionics!
Dream on my man, the F-35 is exactly the same plane if it’s used by the USA or any of its allies. Trust me no allies would have bought the plane if they didn’t get the same plane and all its specifications and functionality everything is the same
Me laughing in my f35 cockpit laughing at the su-57 in battlefield 2042 🥹😂😂😂
I'm a fighter jet pilot for the Air force. I fly f22a Raptor / f35 b variant. Both are air superiority complex current gen fighters
Fighter that don't dogfight
Kind of odd that the VTOL capability was what won them the contract but of the three F-35 variants, the F-35b is the only on that has the VTOL ability. So many other elements are the real innovation to this plane... but I find it odd to already be calling it "One of America's most iconic aircraft." Lets see how it actually performs in combat in a few years first.
That wasn’t the whole reason, however it did play a key role. Not only was the f-35 able to to take off vertically from a harder location they also managed to be to go supersonic in the same flight which neither the x-32 nor the harrier could do. Another thing is the intake the x-32 had exposed compressor fans.
STOVL not VTOL. There was no KPP requiring the JSF to be able to perform a vertical takeoff. The fact that the F-35B can is simply gravy. The X-35 was chosen over the X-32 for far more reasons than its ability to perform a vertical takeoff .
lol dude, stovl was not nearly the only reason. and it has been used many times in combat already and has returned untouched back to their airfields before iran or syria even knows they have been attacked. considering ukraine is can still putting aircraft in the air against russian air defense, the russians nor anyone else stands a chance.

Ive heard its a fast accelerateing jet which is more useful than a hight top speed typically jets dont bast around at top speed much anyhow
The F22 has a nosale tag, we should've made the F35 a nosale also, that may come back to haunt us. 🇺🇸
The f22 has a no sale tag because it's too expensive and the us doesn't produce them anymore
Did any one notice ski jump at 5:00 in the video i don’t believe U.S.A. has ski jump on there carries
I'm sorry, but everytime Russia is brought up when talking about Superiority. I just chuckle! They are struggling with a very new military in Ukraine! The men in the military in Ukraine have a fraction of the experience as any other military. Yet they are holding them off quite well! So with our Technology and the actual combat experience that we have in the United States, Russia doesn't worry me a bit. Aside from their nuclear weapon arsenal. Which is imo the only thing keeping them from being bullied like the redheaded step child that they appear to be...
Deluded.
Sooner or later the PAF can acquire this kind of Aircraft to combat and shoot down any intruder in our skies.
I want one
,,The F35 has a targeting approximately good in air to air battle and it's proven enough
I invented this jet in 1998, so, you are wrong about not being able to come up with this technology in 2000.
And why do you compare the F-35 with the Yak-38, instead of the Yak-141, on the basis of which the F-35 was created!!!?
@@dod_the_angel Thomas Hayhurst,You're right, there was such a project, but it's just a project.
Ik one of my homies got the color blind setting on
Does the F22 and F 35’s have hard drive modules that can be changed out as upgrades are designed??
The f-35 is literally designed to be upgraded as we go on, the f-22 I'm not so sure of.
Both can and have been upgraded
👏
