Plus, when our defensive missile misses, it's speeding out of the area, while loitering nets stretched between drones, would still be there, ready for follow-up salvos. I also don't see why we can't design loitering drones with CIWS, so that CIWS doesn't have to be a last-ditch defense.

Imagine a swarm of these. The enemy wouldn’t know how many of what. Couldn’t get a lock. Then the signal gets attacked. Then if “all is lost” it takes an L while the actual 35 was a ghost bumblebee that quarterbacked missiles from a naval destroyer 150 miles outside of engagement range. Radar still shows a mixture of 3-50 enemy airships of varying makes and model radar signatures as you eject out of your fighter right before a missile screams in and blows it to smithereens
my man, you don't know what a couple of E/G18's with TALDs can do. the F35 can just sit back and shoot as necessary, playing mini spicy AWACs for them.
Tally 1, 5 o’clock, 28 miles locked him at 27 miles Angels 11. He’s got a missile off defending hard 1 o’clock. Yea my RWRs tracking missile tracking me chaffing until 15 miles. Alright still on me emitting jammer. Jammers workin.
It should be mentioned however that the ALE-70 on the F-35 is said to be a generation ahead of the older ALE-55. There’s also the fact that the decoys jamming ability gets a boost purely because it’s connected to an F-35 and can use its jamming array.
@@swiffersweatjet7815 Actually, how it works is that whenever it detects an incoming threat, the decoy transformes into a bald eagle that rips the incoming missile apart in its vibranium claws. xD But fun aside, I don't doubt that decoy on the F-35 is pretty advanced stuff, wouldn't surprise me if its a little ahead of the british stuff too. All this thing is missing is a proper long range missile like Meteor or so, and it will be unstoppable :D

20 years old, top secret top tier weapons are clasified that are used today. Thats why you dont know about them. That was probably used on on a f14-f15 yeeeaaaaars ago
Towed decoys have been public knowledge for a couple of decades now at least. The F-16 reels them out from behind the sidewinder pylons. The Eurofigher has them in the wingtips.
In war, we only use what is needed to stay ahead. I bet we have aircraft fashioned after the retrieved crafts that we won't see for 20 more years or unless China pulls out something that would cause a need to activate them
The British-made BriteCloud expendable radar decoy is the latest device to protect the F-35. Very small device (2”x1”x8”) coming out of the chaff/flare dispensers.
I know someone who worked on European project to improve on towed decoys. The next generation is disposable decoys that get deployed from flare dispensers. That way you can’t just track the jamming signal to target the plane.
As a person who worked on the design of certain helmet and cockpit systems within the Lightning, the F-35 is a marvel of electronic warfare, both offensive and defensive.
@@TJ-o7f Sure dude…a stealth aircraft that is capable of performing ground defense duties (like shooting down cruise missiles), can act as an AWAC, can perform ISR, can perform SEAD, doesn’t need to carry a full payload of munitions as its both Link-16/32 and MADL capable (allowing it to send targeting data to non stealth aircraft and ground launched munitions), can perform EW suppression and attack duties, and capable of using short runways or can be VTOL.

We wouldn’t know that until we were involved in a major conflict. It seems Israel’s F-35s are doing just fine currently. Either way, it is certainly a world class platform. Just how good it really is, if it’s “worth” the cost…time will tell. I’d rather have it than not have it, but that’s a low bar to clear given the circumstances.
@@elibnem4126 they serve different purposes. F-35s are more like generals on the field whereas F-22s are the tip of the spear. I suppose they could have spent a fortune giving the f-22 similar capabilities but I don’t know enough to know if it’s even feasible. Either way I’m a big F-22 fan as well!
What makes the f35 different is what it can control. Someone who’s mastered all capabilities of the aircraft could simultaneously man a whole squadron of aircraft alone. Yes you read that correctly. It don’t just stop there. This thing gets wicked. The US government wants everyone to think this aircraft is useless and overrated. But like all government topics of discussion, that couldn’t be any further from the truth.

All I can think about is how cars from the 80's & 90's had this exact technology and we never acknowledged the potential they had in averting potential contact from guided missiles 😍🥰😍
How interesting would it be if the tethered decoy could intercept the original coordinates of the missile launch site and re-direct our enemies missiles against them.
If air to air the plane that launched is also moving. Unless they had it update live. Also the this reminds me almost exactly of the opening scene of Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning lol
If you are talking about SAM launch the redirected missile would have long lost its energy before it returned to sender, if that scenario were even possible

Imagine a swarm of these. The enemy wouldn’t know how many of what. Couldn’t get a lock. Then the signal gets attacked. Then if “all is lost” it takes an L while the actual 35 was a ghost bumblebee that quarterbacked missiles from a naval destroyer 150 miles outside of engagement range.
Radar still shows a mixture of 3-50 enemy airships of varying makes and model radar signatures as you eject out of your fighter right before a missile screams in and blows it to smithereens
my man, you don't know what a couple of E/G18's with TALDs can do. the F35 can just sit back and shoot as necessary, playing mini spicy AWACs for them.

It should be mentioned however that the ALE-70 on the F-35 is said to be a generation ahead of the older ALE-55. There’s also the fact that the decoys jamming ability gets a boost purely because it’s connected to an F-35 and can use its jamming array.
@@swiffersweatjet7815 Actually, how it works is that whenever it detects an incoming threat, the decoy transformes into a bald eagle that rips the incoming missile apart in its vibranium claws. xD

I know someone who worked on European project to improve on towed decoys. The next generation is disposable decoys that get deployed from flare dispensers. That way you can’t just track the jamming signal to target the plane.
