It will never happen. We're not going to Mars anytime soon. Humans haven't even been to the moon yet. The moon "landings" were filmed on a large set. I know you like to deny science and pretend that humans have been to the moon, but it's a scientific impossibly.
To fake the moon landing they still had to go to the moon and build a huge fuckoff rocket so when people say how did you get there? they can say with that huge fuckoff rocket you watched us launch and then was tracked by a whole bunch of different people.
Why when I was an EE undergrad, weee didn't have those fancy-schmantzy computers-on-a-chip.
Why, weee built our computers out of 7400-series NAND chips. And wire-wrapped all the connections! And stripped each wire to feed into the hand wire-wrap tool. And we did this until our fingers bled . . . and we liked it!
Not quite but it does heavily promote taking animals from the wild, imprisoning them and then forcing them to fight each other for your own amusement. No matter how you cut it that's some pretty dark shit. Animal cruelty means nothing to these people:O
So, this and the Plan9 post got modded down, but not the bolded post full of bigotry up at the top of the page. It's a shame that the moderators apparently are bigots.
FFS, the mods are the users. The lowest a thing can be is -1, which it it. It's up top because it was posted before what is below it. This isn't reddit with up and down shit and namby pambies unable to ignore obvious trolling. Comments don't get deleted, the get modded by the users. If you can't hack being exposed to it and putting it aside as the obvious troll shit it is then maybe you'd be happier on safespace.com discussing my little pony with your interlectual peers. As long as the discussion doesn't get too heated that is of course.
Probably the higher-ups who decided that redundancy is not required are long gone and doing something different now. They could show off how nicely they could cut so many costs to their bosses and probably got a big bonus for the two quarters they were employed before going to the next job.
Would that have been before or after they pointed out all these planes have two engines, we could cut costs massively by removing one from each?
For quite some time now, I've been thinking that missiles with computer vision are the future. Although packing the computational process into a small-enough power envelope is going to be interesting (ASICs?).
You thought vintage radar would detect stealth tech? Seriously? That's like... W T F level stuff.
The thing about stealth is it's effective vs certain things. Most are designed to be stealthy against the type of high frequency radar employed by modern aircraft. Low frequency radars can pick them up much easier. Fun fact, if they all flew the channel at 1946 at the primitive radar sets then they would all be detected because they're not designed to deflect/absorb that type of signal.
It's not just about weight carried though. Number of pylons increases the amount and types you can carry. I misread your last sentence though and that is a valid point but that's internal stores only which is an absolute max of six missiles so it's a trade off and you'd probably rather be in a raptor in an air to air engagement.
Let's see shall we. Just using wiki the F35A has 6 external pylons (massively increasing rcs) and 2 internal with a total of 8100kg storage or 1360kg if we're preserving stealth and using only internal. Gripen, quite an old jet relatively also has 8 hardpoints with about half the wingloading. Eurofighter has 13 pylons for 7500kg a 600kg difference. So closer to a quarter of a quarter. However that's fully loaded with rcs out the window remember. That's basically the same as what you get on an f16. If you want a big hit you want the F15 E that can carry 10,400kg on 11 pylons. Bottom line is the f35 adds nothing and can't do anything better than anything else. It's not particularly a bad plane it's just very expensive and not really needed.
Darkstar, Judy, Judy. I'm going in for guns! Protip, launching a missile isn't a stealthy business. The F22 is a stealth jet, the F35 has stealthy characteristics, neither are invisible. Firstly it has a curved body which is not good for stealth. I'd wonder about the capabilities of the launchers in this case rather than the plane.

Donald Trump eats babies on toast! Why does nobody care?
Baby whats? Context is king.
Many people are also saying that Trump makes regular donations to NAMBLA, and that's why he won't release his tax returns.
What's peoples problem with the North American Marlon Brando Lookalike Association?

You're completely correct that you need the high frequency to actually target stuff, however my point was vintage radar would in fact detect stealth
No, dipshit. Collecting evidence on criminals destroying a city.
Fuck your false equivalence and fuck you.
Wait, when did a city get destroyed. Godzilla Lives Matter?
Grammar is not what you need to worry about. They are right outside your door! RUN!
you've watched to many movies.
too many

So who are we looking for?
This twat in the big hat who thinks he's clever.
The FBI says they're only using the planes to track specific suspectds in serious crime investigations
As most of it is generally negative, not enough.

Sounds like one of those bugs that can disguise its self as a leaf. That's what they should call it, the leafy bug.

Also rcs is unrelated to the range of your weaponry.

Because of it's overwhelming armament capacity that it doesn't have?
The claim isn't missiles are useless. The claim is don't rely on them and keep a gun on board.
You're right it's not. It's called beyond visual range. These engagements don't happen over the horizon like naval battles.
