F-35s are multi role but not particularly effective at air superiority or bunker busting. Both of these roles are better suited to other aircraft at a fraction of the cost.
They don't. Here's a very simplified scenario. You have 990 drones and 10 fighter jets, it overwhelm your enemy's radar systems. It would force them to activate all their ground radar systems. The fighter jets can then use radar and signal tracking capabilities to take out those ground radar systems. Once the radar is disabled, the fighter jets can target critical infrastructure like airports and highways, preventing the majority of enemy jets from taking off or landing. You don't even need to shoot down any enemy aircraft, the one in the sky will run out of fuel, the one on the ground cannot really take off unless they have vertical takeoff capabilities. At this point, using helicopter, old bomber jets, or F-35 do not make a difference, as the enemy's ability to respond is severely compromised.
@@anonEDM Air superiority is not its primary role... but it regularly achieves 20-1 kill ratio in exercises such as Red Flag. And when it comes to bunker busting... I'm curious to see a 4.5 Gen aircraft flying deep into a highly contested airspace in order to destroy some bunker or another target.
Drones don’t have a 700+ mile range, are visible to radar, are slow, very easy to shoot down, are not reusable, and are certainly not certified to drop nukes, if ever the need arose.
There are already drones that look like f35? They go faster , further , can do more crazy movement because no human is inside? And they have already been bombing places since iraq/afghanistan???
Yes but they do rely more on software, AI and satellites- oh, wait, do you see the conflict of interest? Musk looking to award himself some more government contracts.
@@appelbottemjeans And tbh, I don't believe that drones are useless either, they serve a complete different role, they are actually are a game changer, but only as a complement to human pilots. Elon edging at the mere idea of scrapping the whole F-35 program because it's expensive (it's actually not, the 2 trillion price tag it's for it's whole life span, which makes actually cheaper than other past programs adjusted by inflation) in favour of completely autonomous drones, lends credibility to the suspicion of him being subject to the influence of some foreign power.
@@danielwoods3563 Not me I think he is weird, but this is the reality of the F-35👉The F-35 with its extreme fragility, high acquisition cost, high cost of support and maintenance, inability to operate near the frontlines, poor low-speed maneuverability, lack of an effective gun, poor sortie generation rate, short loiter times, and lack of ability to carry a large weapons payload without inflight refueling, make the F-35 absolutely the antithesis of a CAS plane. Because the F-35 pilot, in his fragile, flammable, flying tinderbox, will be firing and fleeing many miles away from the frontlines... The F-35 also is troubled and maintenance-hungry. So that is why canceling the A-10 is on the "upside", this will free up the A-10 maintainers so they can be moved over to support the troubled, maintenance-hungry F-35s. On the "downside" the U.S. Air Force canceling the A-10 will be canceling the most important and effective plane it has to execute lifesaving, mission-advancing CAS, it will be killing the only plane that can do this dangerous close air support. This F-35 shitshow even gets stupider than what I have already said, sad incompetent/possibly treasons, this F-35 is. Musk did not just discover this major malfunction, everyone already knows this for many years.
Musk is a US citizen and has been since 2002. Being ignorant and lying doesn't give you any 'clout' or make you 'right', it just tells everyone that you're a Democrat.
Does anybody else feel that trump shouldn't have picked Elon musk now he's trying to cut production of the new backbone of Americas military being the 3 variants of the f35😮
Musk is mostly correct. While not necessarily idiots, the defense industry needs to immediately move on from producing manned aircraft to the more effective and inexpensive drone technology. Meanwhile, Tesla needs to do the same and evolve with the Cybertruck.
@chrisschneiders6734 The F35 Lightning II is an incredible machine and it certainly still has a role. However, its price tag is $80-100M each, not including maintenance, etc. It’s also manned, which comes at a priceless cost. Considering current trends in warfare, drones are more effective and less expensive in many situations advanced fighter jets and other aircraft are being used. I do believe the manufacturing would be tasked to current defense contractors. It would be a conflict of interest for Musk and his businesses to do so at this time.

This time Elon Musk is wrong. What if drones lose communication from control center during mid flight ? Or worse gets controlled by enemy ? The best solution is to have a super fast fighter jet that has two pilots, one to fly the fighter jet, and the other to control the drones as wingmen, and that's what the US military is developing at this moment.
If drone lose communication he will use IA and data from accelerometer to find and point it self at target. Hypothetically: Let's say you want to blow air field with $500mill of equipment parked on it. Then you send 1000 of $10 000 drones each powered by some efficient jet engine, move around 300km/h, with starling communication, if communication get lost drone use AI to hit anything that have shape of plain or hangar at pre-programmed location. When drone gets close to target it use rocket buster end preprogrammed maneuver to be harder to neutralize. Elon is right, 2-trilon on F-35 is waste Only thing cool about F-35 is stealth, whats is not important when you overwhelm your enemy radar with 1000-2000 drones.
"Then you send some 1000 of $10,000 drones each powered by some efficient jet engines" Congratulations. You re-invented the wheel, and came up with the AGM-65 Maverick, a missile that costs $17,000-$110,000, can only fly for a mere 22 km, and needs to be lobbed from the air by a fighter jet to do so. What other genius ideas already being used by the military will you plagiarize next? 🤔
NEVER use your imagination and certainly NEVER research a topic before commenting. F-18 swarms have been working off the coast of California and Mexico for over a decade but keep pretending drones are 'new', small and that Northrop doesn't exist.
I think F35 is cool tech ... Who doesn't want an F35? The issue is whether if an all out apocalyptic war broke out who would win; a person with 100 of F35 planes ... Or a person with equivalent cost in swarm of remote controlled drones powered by rechargable batteries.
The answer is the guy with the 100 F-35s. There's a reason the US has 11 super carriers on the water at all times. A single air craft carrier could bring an entire country to its knees in minutes. Guess what planes are on those aircraft carriers? F-35s. As good as drones are for infantry, the sky _belongs_ to the F-35. A drone can't shoot down a target from over the horizon, beyond visual distance.

I agree that at the time the F35 got shape, the drones were already getting better and better. I don't understand that my country even ordered a few more when the drones already were successfull.
he's actually right, why invest in technology that requires extreme skill with both engineer and pilot to execute while plane size drones can achieve much better.... without the risk of losing a pilot. jet's & drones can both be jammed , it's a matter of getting better at counter measures in shielding.
Saying manned fighters are stupid because drones can do it better.... Isn't that the same argument against building starship? Why do we need to send humans to the moon and mars when drones can do it better??
Depends on the engine type, you can convert old fighter jets into drones and they would be as or even more effective/cost effective. When you think of drones, you can only think of DJI's small propeller ones??? You are WAYYYYY behind on drone technology lmao
@ I’m aware that drones aren’t just little quadcopters but my point is that jets are just an engine with wings and they have a lot more utility and robustness than unmanned weapon systems that can be jammed relatively easily
@raccoon9023 That's still fighter jet with extra steps, you would still be using a jet but would then need to gut and retrofit as a drone,not to mention be prepared too lose the whole project if it gets jammed and noone is able to control it manually.
Imagine being so ignorant as to believe 'drone' means "tiny". Just because YOU are ignorant doesn't mean everyone is. Just because YOU have never heard of Northrop doesn't mean they haven't been developing UAVs for over 70 years. Just because YOU think the F-35 is great doesn't make it great. IF you knew anything, you'd know Lockheed has to bribe people and countries to buy their crap. Lockheed has many congress members and generals on the payroll to ensure they get those govt contracts. You're ignorance does not make Elon 'wrong', just proves you're ignorant.
@@raccoon9023 QF-4s used as targets for decades and yet, morons still think a 'drone' is a tiny quad copter.

Thank you for your honest, educated and knowledgeable answer. Seriously, it's nice to see.
The difference is that a f-35 can most likely be radar detected one small drone like this can do little damage but when it’s in swarms, that’s a completely different story
the chances of the f35 being picked up on radar is pretty slim, even the us military couldnt when they lost one. also a swarm of drones would be trival to take out

They have no sensors, no on-board compute. They're toys.
He better listen to the experts and not just himself, after all as Ryan McBeth has mentioned anti-drone technology is advancing as quickly as possible given the new drone threats. So dedicated fighter jets will still have a place in military’s. Though I saw on MegaProjects Channel that propeller aircraft might be making a comeback in military’s.
Yea go ahead this is what you guys wanted right "Change" and that musk is right about everything. Keep putting him as an Idol americans. That's what you get for bringing billionares into politics .

Not just today, goes all the way back to the. Clinton years, I just now realizing it? I Starr wasted time and effort harassing Clinton about sex with an adult intern. Meanwhile Prez-elect paid for sex with a porn star and K Star says what? Epitome of hypocrisy.
It reminds me of the 2019 movie Angel Has Fallen, a swarm of hundreds of drones were launched carrying suicide bombs to attack the target without any weapons being able to intercept them, if the US could create that in real life, it would be a great success in anti-access and area denial as well as preemptive strikes with almost 90% success rate. inexpensive & no needless sacrifice of life
If Elon Musk would be a real genius he would be able with the help his super smart Ai Grok and his Starlink to disable all nuclear weapons on the planet today and prevent WW3
Drones cannot carry big loads, that planes can with guided missile and longer range and cannot be easy jammed. Drones are good in short distance combat. and Drones cannot destroy bridge or bunkers, but planes can.
Being ignorant is not a virtue. Quit pursuing it. You really should know what you're talking about before speaking. You want to pretend the QF-4 and XB-47 never existed.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ONE NATIÓN UNDER GOD IN GOD WE TRUST IN JESUSCHRIST NAME AMÉN.
👊🇺🇸👊
It doesn’t feel under God anymore. It feels like we’re under trump.
And just so you know the footage is from Zhuhai air show
I smell a challenge what's 600 drones versus 3 F 35s
Stick to making your cheaply built electric vehicles!!
يا امريكا لا تطغي علينا بغير وجه حق و لا تعتدي علينا و *الله*يزيدك من نعيمه بلا حدود .🧢🧢🦅🦅
He knows the truth and fans hates it 😂
This the guy who claimed his Cyber-Trucks Windows were unbreakable, until he accidentally broke it with a tiny ball. Ooops!
I agree that at the time the F35 got shape, the drones were already getting better and better. I don't understand that my country even ordered a few more when the drones already were successfull.
Lockheed has along storied history of bribery to get contracts and the F-35 is just the latest example.
He doesn't have access to the design to be able to comment on it
Dont underestimate elon, he can build jet fighter that better than f22 or f35 if he want, you need to learn how he build space x rocket
Thing is we need both. You have to have multi strike capabilities.
Funny that Don Jr. just received a position on the advisory board of Unusual Machines, a drone making firm in Fl.
he's actually right, why invest in technology that requires extreme skill with both engineer and pilot to execute while plane size drones can achieve much better.... without the risk of losing a pilot. jet's & drones can both be jammed , it's a matter of getting better at counter measures in shielding.
Drones can be hacked
Saying manned fighters are stupid because drones can do it better.... Isn't that the same argument against building starship? Why do we need to send humans to the moon and mars when drones can do it better??
Imagine thinking the technological marvel that is the F-35, which does have problems, is worse than a tiny drone than can’t fly during high winds
Depends on the engine type, you can convert old fighter jets into drones and they would be as or even more effective/cost effective. When you think of drones, you can only think of DJI's small propeller ones??? You are WAYYYYY behind on drone technology lmao
@ I’m aware that drones aren’t just little quadcopters but my point is that jets are just an engine with wings and they have a lot more utility and robustness than unmanned weapon systems that can be jammed relatively easily
@raccoon9023 That's still fighter jet with extra steps, you would still be using a jet but would then need to gut and retrofit as a drone,not to mention be prepared too lose the whole project if it gets jammed and noone is able to control it manually.
Imagine being so ignorant as to believe 'drone' means "tiny". Just because YOU are ignorant doesn't mean everyone is. Just because YOU have never heard of Northrop doesn't mean they haven't been developing UAVs for over 70 years. Just because YOU think the F-35 is great doesn't make it great. IF you knew anything, you'd know Lockheed has to bribe people and countries to buy their crap. Lockheed has many congress members and generals on the payroll to ensure they get those govt contracts. You're ignorance does not make Elon 'wrong', just proves you're ignorant.
@@raccoon9023 QF-4s used as targets for decades and yet, morons still think a 'drone' is a tiny quad copter. B-17s were radio controlled, used as targets and also how Joe Kennedy was killed, but morons still want to pretend RC aircraft (aka 'drones') are tiny... The ignorance and stupidity, along with the lack of imagination, of the YT comments section is always a great reflection of just how stupid people can be.
Thank you for your honest, educated and knowledgeable answer. Seriously, it's nice to see.
The difference is that a f-35 can most likely be radar detected one small drone like this can do little damage but when it’s in swarms, that’s a completely different story
the chances of the f35 being picked up on radar is pretty slim, even the us military couldnt when they lost one.
also a swarm of drones would be trival to take out
Sooo, when we talk drones, are we still talking delivery drones ??
UAV is future! Any sane same person would agree!!!
Finally someone spoke the truth
Look how much the Leftist want to call Elon Musk a dumbass and how great the F-35 is as a weapon of war.... They will say and do anything no matter how absurd their stance is.
@@bigslinkingcan the drone fly in high winds? Can the drone have morality? Can the drone give you good memories? Can you make good movies out of drones? Can you carry heavier bombs on drones? Can a drone carry a nuclear bomb? Can a drone think?
@@mattstudios740 Bro relax, I linked your options for everyone here or there.... big or small.
can drone carry 1000lbs jdam?
@@handsomemann01 Of course, and you can have a "tranny" on the ground via an eyepad uplink target threw a sniperpod allowing to have eyes on the proper intended intel target in real time. But the point Elon is making is the F-35 deal was not "great and everyone knows it".
To be fair F-35 and F-22 have no track record of success thus far. Shooting down a weather balloon does not count as an air to air kill.
F-35 slipped into Iran which was guarded by s 400s blew up nearly all of their air defenses and left without a single plane lost
"No track record of success" GTFO
Elon has been silent about all the recent drone sightings, I wonder why?
Elon is the only human who can make a train slide on air cushions in vacuum.
I thought that the billionare was just another rich busy body but, hey; the guy got a wonderful brain! This is it!
مسيرة موفقةحفظك الته ورعاك 💚💚💚💚💚🍹🍹🍹🍹👍🏼👍🏼
It’s not even about Musk . Drones are it
Driverless cars...unmanned drones😂🎉❤U rawk dude
🎉Great job sir
Money makes people think they are a lot smarter and an expert authority on everything under the sun.
Look who’s talking! Its like the teapot calling the kettle black 😂
There's the mysterious drone explanation 🛸🛸🛸🛸
I see Elon deployed his most servile drones in this comment section.
Elmo posts a video of decorative Chinese drones which are used for fireworks displays as proof that the most advanced stealth fighter on Earth is obsolete 😒
Those Chinese drones are NOT autonomous: they're controlled by a microcontroller connected to a PC, and they're just moving to fixed offsets. They have no sensors, no on-board compute. They're toys.
Drones are vulnerable to electronic warfare, and drones can't operate in the event of cyber attack, although it will also limit the f35 capabilities
Hes not wrong
Elon->🤡
$1000/ea.vs.$100000000/ea.: idiots?, really?!?
He better listen to the experts and not just himself, after all as Ryan McBeth has mentioned anti-drone technology is advancing as quickly as possible given the new drone threats. So dedicated fighter jets will still have a place in military’s. Though I saw on MegaProjects Channel that propeller aircraft might be making a comeback in military’s.
Yea go ahead this is what you guys wanted right "Change" and that musk is right about everything. Keep putting him as an Idol americans. That's what you get for bringing billionares into politics .
Finally! Someone says what’s so painfully obvious. People are looking to EM and DT as idols
We can have drone domes for defense and F-35s for offense and guys and girls on special teams. War is a multifaceted game. If drones gave you air superiority, the war in Ukraine would have been over by now. Thanks Elon, but i’ll wait until I hear the Joint chief suggest this. Lol
Drones don't have limitations of a jet.
What about the prediator drone?
Drones have more limitations
Anyone noticed the news has been all about division today?
Not just today, goes all the way back to the. Clinton years, I just now realizing it? I Starr wasted time and effort harassing Clinton about sex with an adult intern. Meanwhile Prez-elect paid for sex with a porn star and K Star says what? Epitome of hypocrisy.
No to trumpers
You would be saying no to everyone 😉
@ typical that trumpers can’t understand anything unless they are told how to think! Lol
@@googleuser-rr9wr ah ok 😄👍
Elon: Manned plane bad, embrace drone
U.S.: then make a 5th generation fighter drone
Elon: error code (Son name)
It reminds me of the 2019 movie Angel Has Fallen, a swarm of hundreds of drones were launched carrying suicide bombs to attack the target without any weapons being able to intercept them, if the US could create that in real life, it would be a great success in anti-access and area denial as well as preemptive strikes with almost 90% success rate. inexpensive & no needless sacrifice of life
Would be defeated by a single Growler.
Now Elon is also a military expert.
We are so fooked if he has a hand in national defense
F35 vs. forcefield. Game over, 1up
An-ti Humanity and peace Tech ...Beware of E.M
He just wants to setup Skynet so earth will be destroyed to justify his billions to soon to Mars
If Elon Musk would be a real genius he would be able with the help his super smart Ai Grok and his Starlink to disable all nuclear weapons on the planet today and prevent WW3
Nuclear weapons aren't networked, Starlink wouldn't be able to do anything.
@JP-fq5zj I heard that Grok AI is so smart that is capable of doing the unexpected and unthinkable.
Dude, nuclear weapons are controlled via analog technology, you can’t hack them.
Everything is hackable including Blockchain and Pegasus.
Drones cannot carry big loads, that planes can with guided missile and longer range and cannot be easy jammed.
Drones are good in short distance combat.
and Drones cannot destroy bridge or bunkers, but planes can.
Being ignorant is not a virtue. Quit pursuing it. You really should know what you're talking about before speaking. You want to pretend the QF-4 and XB-47 never existed. You want to pretend things that have been developed over the past 70 years don't exist, to support your idiocy... You really should research just so you can find out how WRONG you are. But, you won't, I can tell.
Of course they are, US built over priced crap!
THIS 100%
I’m not American but I think elon might run for elections someday in the future. He might even help his dream to put man on mars with government funding 🤷♂️
Why send people to Mars when you can just send drones?
@ who knows ask him😆 im worried about finding a job here 🤣
Elon is not an american, he can't become president
Why should we trust Elon when he’s failed to meet every other “man on mars” goalpost and already owns some of the most subsidized companies in the US?
We need people on Mars right now for what? Literally, zero benefit to anyone for anyone to be on Mars now or 4-8 years from now
