>year of our lord 2026>we still fly F5's, and in double digits>our replacement are 4+ gen'sin the air force credit its hard to justify the buying/building of 5th gen's when we didnt enter a war since WW2
>>65621766Excuse you, the F-5 is god's fighter, perfect in every respect.
>>65621777ok, then show me the range and its max takeoff weight
>>65621766The F-5 is incredibly based>>65621777Checked
>>65621766I was informed by reputable sources that the United States would not stand a chance against Brazil
>>65621766>its hard to justify the buying/building of 5th gen's >F-35 is proven to not be a stealth figher at all>Su-57 is a unicorn>J-20 is unobtainiumYou'll be fine for another 20 years
>>65621766Soul. Also, everyone that would possibly fight you is even worse so who cares?
>>65621993>F-35 proven not to be a stealth fighter at allThe hook and the sinker. Perhaps even the bait itself.
>>65621993>F-35 is proven to be [thirdie delusion inside my head]you're retarded and wrong lol>b-but i was merely pretending to be retar-not real trolling, you were getting bullied for it twenty years ago, you're getting bullied for it now.
>>65621766the Brazilian Air Force is the earth's first line of defense against the alien menace. Those F-5s have been smoking ayyyys since the 70s
>>65622041It's true. The F-35 is stealthy to 1960-80s tier Soviet radars, which admittedly is what most hostile countries use. Newer radars will inevitably catch up and detect stealth planes. >Inb4 Amazing China copypasta Western radar manufacturers are also working on this and AI can be trained to discriminate faint signals. It's a literal arms race. Plane manufacturers are already hedging their bets by implementing longer ranged standoff missilles and unmanmed wingman drones.
>>65621846 range is not a relevant concern for Brazil
>>65623060stealth is not a binary on/off solution retard, whatever level of masking of your RCS is still widely preferable to having no RCS reduction since those means of detection are just that much more effective
>>65621766do you really need more to shoot down narco planes?
>>65623060>m-muh low frequency radar copeLow intelligence retard detected.Less radar return lowering your enemy’s effective range is ALWAYS good, there is no “counter” to it you dumb retard.You’re only targeting an F35 from 30 km out or closer period, by which point it will have already dropped a bomb on you.
>>65623494>will have already dropped a bomb on you.Will the bomb hit, though? Can The US produce enough bomb, tough?Will we surrender afeter being bombed, though?Have The US think about the retaliation strike, though?
>>65623511>will the bomb hitYes>can the US produce enough bombsYes>will we surrender after being bombedYour surrender is not required for us to win the engagement, you can claim that you won because we didn’t genocide every last one of you but we don’t really care.>b-but what about our retaliation strike that will do barely anythingdon’t care.All of this being goalpost moving after you were reminded that the F35 and F22 are the only true stealth fighters in existence and you can’t do anything about it.
>>65621846Ah yes the classic heavy fighter cope. Seethe more.
>>65623524>Your surrender is not required for us to win the engagement>Admiting can't win wars because the enemy wont surenderLmao, strait status?>Ib4 M-mods ban him. He write the S-word.Do it faggot. I have been warned multiple times just because you faggot reporting anyone whi ask the strait status, lol.
>>65621766And quite frankly you don't need better stuff considering what all your potential adverseries are fielding.
>>65621766Why does Brazil need jet fighters anyway? Latinx's biggest threat down there are macacos with AKs.
>>65623613because muh external threat
>>65621777I work on them and they’re fucking pieces of shit
>>65623593yep, definitely brown
>>65623593>strait status?Open. Has been for the past month or so.You need new metodichka, brownfren
>>65623524I would argue against the incorrect assertion that they're the only two 5th gens but the thing with these bots is that it isn't even about Russia or China. If any of the European powers, Japan, Korea, Turkey, etc. managed to enter a real stealth fighter into service they'd call it fake too because it isn't American.
>>65623552Pierre Sprey lost
>>65623916the world lost when the f16 became the export model of choice instead of the f20.
>>65623917Arguably correct
