F35 Lightning II:
MY MITIGATING COMMENT: "Underplays the dogfighting issue, but gives potentially mitigating info to it in the armaments discussion."
MY MITIGATING COMMENT: "Underplays the dogfighting issue, but gives potentially mitigating info to it in the armaments discussion."
A10 Thunderbolt II:
MY MITIGATING COMMENT: "Underplays real-world testimonies and the recent Third Workl interest in acquiring the plane should it be retired. But makes reasonable point on intended anti-tank capabilities."
MY CONCLUSION:
I've long said the F35 will turn out to be a far better machine than many critics in the past said. At the same time, the A10 remains effective in many settings the F35 and others would have difficulty handling.
