The warthog is a phenomenal machine, or at least it's mega cannon, but it's to slow for a modern battlefield full of manpads and even drones. It would be in serious danger.
@@johnarnold893 It comes in after the skies are cleared to support troops. When its engines are heard by the enemy it all of a sudden gets extremely quiet. They know what will come next and it’s very terrifying.

The Airforce does not want to differentiate between a high speed fighter and a close air support system. The A10-Thunderbolt is a proven platform for close air support, but it is getting dated...it's time to build a replacement for the A10 without losing the current system's advantages. Speed is the only thing the Airforce has on its mind but that is saddly at the expense of ground troops.
It's prove to he great, against people in sandals.. but not as good as an Apache. And they'll both easily get knocked out of the sky in contested airspace
@@rogerwilco5918 Hahahaha, helicopters are sitting ducks in general and require close air support themselves. The beauty of A10s is that they do take a licking and keep on ticking. It is typically hard to completely disable an A10 immediately. The triple redundancy in flight controls let them limp home more times than not.
You know what? I am a regular viewer of your RUclips Channel. I have seen all your videos and your content qualities are very good. I learned lots of things from you. Your channel has great quality contents but still it is not delivering its right audiences due to SEO problems. You should focus on your SEO so that You can get a big fanbase, Thanks.
The ppl making these videos needs to stick to the topic of the description of the video, instead of talking about everything else but what the video is supposed to be about. If the F35 is suppost to be so advanced what about the new NGAD or the dark star or the new FX plain for the navy that supposed to replace the F18 supper Hornert. You can't replace the Thunderbolt it is to detriment in supporting ground forces, cause know other plain can go that slow without stalling while delivering munitions to support ground troops
So like is this an old video from 2006ish or is this video really just talking about the 35 which was revealed when I was 7 ...... two decades ago .....
It is interesting to note that VERY little solid fact is disclosed about the latest updates, and nothing said about the ongoing delay situation as to the actual implementation of the Block 4 release. This is very disappointing. It also does not mention the halting of actual production - why would they build new (but obsolete) planes that can't be upgraded? Not discussed. The the BIG elephant in the room! Will the Block 4 release allow future F-35s to mount the NATO Meteor missile? No-one seems willing to commit to a definite yea or nay! Why is this? The Meteor is clearly superior to even the very latest AMRAAM missiles, and the F-35s of NATO allies cannot use Meteor! All of the NATO allies have planes that can mount Meteor (Typhoon, Rafale, JAS39 Gripen), but not F-35! It's little wonder then that NATO allies (like the Royal Navy) are very reluctant to buy further F-35s (except for use in roles not requiring long range air-to-air interception). Why no info?
I like that idea coming down the pipe of minaturization. The AIM-260 JATM and Anduril Barracuda hopefully is making it out to the fleet sooner rather than later. I just hope we have been able to identify how to keep our systems secure from China.
Yes even I understand it's difficult to replace multiple planes - in this case ; with just one but for what the F-35's ( A-B-CM ) do it's an amazing feat. The newer Gen-5 or later planes can ber used in a conventional mission in addition to their stealth mission. I feel that the F-35 and F-22 wouldn't be at that much more of a disadvantage if used with external mounted weapons for a greater capability. You have the " stealth " configured planes go ahead of the not-so stealth configured planes.
The F-35 is the best air superiority aircraft ever built. And it has enough computing power to be its own mini awacs. The combination of F-35’s and F-15EX is a deadly duo. The only comparable aircraft is the F-22, but its electronics and data integration is subpar compared to the F-35.
I was going to mention that as well. I worked at Boeing during the competition and no where did I read anything that JSF was designed to replace the A-10.
The Hog will is as venerable as the Buff. They're just gonna keep upgrading it, Forever. Like the Buff, they'll have Warp Engines and Photon Torpedoes. Mark my words.
With a thousand-ish of these in service in various air forces, my take is this is a likely successor to the F-16. The F-15 and F-22 just aren't what everyone's buying.
@@threebox11 I'd guess it's a case of, do I buy 2x Z-06 'vettes or do I buy one Ferrari? The F-22, from what I understand, is about the most hellish dogfigther that ever existed. But is that an advantage in 2025?
@@andym4695 one thing that does concern me is that enemy fighters don't really have to go against the Raptor, they just have to take out the refueling aircraft
@@andym4695 Cost, cost, cost. The F-16 is a capable fighter and with sufficient numbers, dangerous enough. Not every nation can afford the F-35 or the cost of maintaining it. The F-16 Viper Block 72 is around $60 million. F-35 is $90 million and updates are going to push the costs even higher.
Nah, that would be far to boring, and guys are willing to die just to drive a car in circles, so they are certainly going to want to get up there and mix it up themselves regardless of the risk. Not every bloke is a wet blanket.
The unveiling of the world’s most advanced fighter jet by the US Air Force is fascinating! It highlights cutting-edge technology that’s transforming modern military defense and pushing the limits of aviation.
I wonder if the useless thing can now fly through a thunderstorm and is not a servicing nightmare, I doubt it. The Russian Su -35 has twice the range twice the speed and it can fly through a thunderstorm without its electronics melting down.
Future all unmanned that is fact also the Future aircraft significantly jumped there never know which direction for me only unmanned also about costs.The same infantry never need a Tank only thing with self protection system less armour but quickly quickly change position that also for next year's directly in or on the front unmanned to better protect the Solders....
You can throw all the money you want into the flying duck 🦆 F-35 and it will fall short of a true fighter that will dominate a battle space. Each modern battle space entails distinct set of challenges requiring specific capabilities (physics as well as environmental) for specific set of missions and requirements. The F-35 is adequate for a less than “near peers” missions. However, the F-35 against a “near peer” adversaries will be inadequate when pitch against many different “specific” set of “challenges” will be far less than adequate for its mission. All the modifications and enhancements cannot overcome shortcomings for missions it is physically incapable to overcome. An analogy an 80-ton MBT will become mired in a swamp. This is a simple illustration, but a good description of aerodynamics and physics in a modern-day combat. Whereas a well combined balanced of capabilities assortments of aircrafts can and will provide capabilities to a successful mission. The continuation of a flawed strategic planning will only engender a colossal and devastating loss in the ever-changing and shifting amorphous future battlefield environments. This is my amateurish assessment and having no knowledge of what an actual battlefield and the evolution of future political and military threats and coalition(s). My humble opinion.
It's not meant to replace the F-14. That jet was already out of service long before the navy declared IOC for the F-35.

Gravity bomb is a well known term since guided munitions became a thing.
I can't wait until they come out with the guided gravity bombs. Didn't they learn to control gravity in Interstellar?

The F-22 is the most advanced threat stopper.
The f35 may be capable, but it can never be the best in any individual role. Like any compromise it is simply not the best option.
It’s computer system is the best
It's not designed to have an individual role, it's designed to be part of a highly integrated team.
Is the best fighterjet now, multirole. Only thing close is F22.
The F-35 is the best air superiority aircraft ever built. And it has enough computing power to be its own mini awacs. The combination of F-35’s and F-15EX is a deadly duo. The only comparable aircraft is the F-22, but its electronics and data integration is subpar compared to the F-35.
That cannot replace a "low and slow" A10 strafing run with pilot eyes on target.

It is not pushing aviation forward. It is slow to fly, turn, gaining altitude and needs an army to serve it.
