And you an always trust Israel to get the best - nuf said

I don't know about you, but the pilot was a Norwegian in Norway. I didn't see anything about Israel or Israelis; and its an almost 2 years old puff piece (01 March, 2016). F-35, POS, boondoggle = synonyms.

The point is, Israel has committed to the F-35 for their air force.

[PIF]

The Israelis have no choice if they want to counter Russian planes sold to the various ME countries - they must purchase F-35s. good or bad. in hopes they can fix all the problems the Pentagon is loath to spend money to fix - or even put on the list to be fixed. Still Israel will have no counter to the SU-35 which terrifies F-22s ...

Since this is an anal and silly article, may I point out:

maybe they are trying and make it seam like the type can compete

The word be seem, dude.

[impactplayer]

Wow! Now the F-22. I sense a trend - Lockheed Martin - not good. Boeing - really good.

I doubt that anything will change that . . .

[eddie willers]

which terrifies F-22s ...

Don't anthropomorphize jets.
They hate that.

[PIF]

Don’t anthropomorphize jets. They hate that.

Sure ... I see what you did there ...

Not mentioning manufacture just a reality - F-22s and SU-35s won’t mix well. Does an F-22 see the SU before SUs long-range BVR missiles take it out, or does the F-22 remain ‘invisible’ until it closes near enough to take the SU out? No one wants to find out just how good the SUs radar actually is.
