That is a wicked cool aircraft. The pilot can see “through” the skin of the plane, using cameras of course.
Putin announced his new planes the other day, and some military guy on FNC laughed at him. He said they will be 10-15 years getting them to fly, and be invisible. The F-35 is ready to kick butt now.
Joint Advanced Strike Technology (JAST) program was created in 1993.. 22 years later and it’s still not fielded and probably won’t until 2018 if they’re lucky. That would make it 25 years from design to deployment.
It’s a very costly POS.
