Best options for Indian Navy : F-35 or Rafale

October 7, 2019

Welcome to WARN,
Best options for Indian Navy : F-35 or Rafale Imagine, if you will, a single fighter aircraft. That fighter aircraft needs to fulfill multiple
roles, in multiple services. This includes, but not limited to, air-superiority,
ground attack and reconnaissance. This fighter must also have a carrier variant. This single fighter type will make up the
majority of the fighter fleet and must serve as a tireless workhorse. These two fighters represent that ideal. Both the F-35 and the Rafale epitomize the
“multirole” fighter type. These aircraft are true “jack-of-all-trades”
following in the footsteps of aircraft like the Mig 29K. Despite their similar design goals, these
aircraft are extremely different. Not only in design, but their construction
and the very philosophy behind them. The F-35 is a multinational effort with investors
(and potential buyers) from all over the world. Parts from the F-35 will be built all over
the globe. This was done as a deliberate attempt to lower
costs and promote investment into the program. In contrast, the Rafale was designed and built
in France. All of its various component systems, including
engines, radar, sensors, EW suite, and most of its weapons are all sourced from France. This was done as a deliberate attempt to keep
French defense and aerospace firms on the cutting edge. So which one got it right? Let us find out. Air-to-ground:
Interdiction/Penetration: The Rafale’s SPECTRA suite has gained notoriety for being one of
the best EW suites available. Given that benchmarks for these sort of things
are classified, and not available to a part-time blogger like myself, I cannot say just how
good it is. There is a good chance it is the next best
thing to a purpose built stealth aircraft. The F-35 is a purpose built stealth aircraft,
however. There may be some debate over whether it offers
sufficient protection against current and future threats, but the truth is that the
JSF is currently the stealthiest aircraft available. This may change in the future, but right now
the F-35 is the best choice for sneaking past enemy ground radar. Advantage: F-35 Deep strike: Well… This one is easy. Both aircraft have a similar combat radius
and ferry range using internal fuel only. So it simply comes down to which one can carry
more external fuel. The Rafale can carry massive amounts of fuel
in external drop tanks. It can also be utilized for “buddy” refueling. If that was not enough, every Rafale has the
plumbing to mount CFTs, which have been tested but not implemented. As of now, the F-35 has no external fuel tanks. Some concepts exist, but problems with separation
have pushed external tank capability back indefinitely. The JSF will carry the AGM-158 JASSM-ER, but
that missile’s extra range cannot make up the difference from having no external fuel
options. Advantage: Rafale Payload: The Rafale makes for an impressive
bomber, able to carry over 20,000lbs of ordinance on 14 hardpoints. While its not a bomber per se, it certainly
comes close. The F-35 has only 10 hardpoints and carries
one ton less than the Rafale. The JSF also has the limitation of its internal
weapon bays. While those bays are necessary for stealth,
their size limits the type of weapon that can be mounted inside. Anything longer, wider, or heavier than a
2,000lb JDAM will have to step outside. This one goes to the French. The Rafale offers nearly the same ground-pounding
capabilities as the much larger (and more expensive) F-15E Strike Eagle. Advantage: Rafale Close air support: The F-35 is destined to
replace the A-10 its iconic role. Not many are buying that. It is simply too fragile an aircraft and it
burns through its fuel too fast to spend any time on station. To its credit, its EOTS acts as a built-in
targeting pod and it will be outfitted with MBDA Brimstone missiles. This means it will likely be able to take
out a few targets as it zips buy. 25mm cannons will be built into the A model,
and available in external pods in the B and C model. While it currently lacks a low collateral
damage weapon like the Brimstone, the Rafale still gets by okay. Its airframe is more durable than the JSF,
has twin-engine redundancy, and it does quite well flying low and slow, thanks to its carrier-friendly
design. While it has a 30mm cannon like the A-10,
it is not the same weapon and it carries far less ammo (125 rounds). If the Rafale had Brimstone missile (or similar)
capability it would get an easy win here. Even still, its ability to loiter more with
external tanks give it a slight advantage. A Rafale pilot is also far more likely to
fly closer to the battlefield, confident that a stray bullet will not bring the fighter
down. Advantage: Rafale Air-to-ground winner: Rafale. While the F-35 may do a fine job at slipping
through enemy defenses, the Rafale does a better job at just about everything else when
it comes to ground attack. It flies further, can carry more bombs, and
its more likely to mix it up with the troops. Air-to-air:
First look, first kill: The JSF is being marketed with a massive emphasis on its ability “see”
everything around it without being detected itself. With an advanced AESA radar, EOTS, and DAS
(which replicates IRST) the F-35 certainly will be able to get a good look at what is
around it. While the Rafale lacks the F-35’s stealth,
but it has a similarly sized AESA radar and a IRST. Part of its SPECTRA suite puts IR sensors
high up on both sides of the tail, giving a similar “god’s eye view”. The Rafale is certainly good in this department,
but the F-35 is just as good if not better, plus it has its stealthy design. Advantage: F-35 Beyond Visual Range: The F-35 pilot better
hope it gets a successful sneak attack in, because after that first shot, all bets are
off. The Rafale is not just faster in a straight
line dash, but it climbs faster and cruises faster as well. On top of that, it will carry the ramjet powered
Meteor BVR missiles, which look to be superior to the F-35’s AMRAAMs. Unfortunately for the F-35, it may not even
get the chance for that sneak attack. It would likely have to enter into the Rafale’s
passive sensor range before it gets a clear shot. Its stealth may keep it safer from radar,
but not much can be done to shield its big, hot engine. The Rafale’s better high speed performance
and better BVR missile make it the easy pick here. Advantage: Rafale Within Visual Range: By now most have realized
my disappointment with the Rafale’s current lack of HMD. One has been tested, but it has yet to go
operational with one. HMD’s really do help a fighter’s WVR capability
when combined with HOBS missiles. Despite all this, the Rafale is still a very
good WVR fighter, with impressive maneuverability, thrust-to-weight, and the ability to fire
HOBS missiles with the help of data links and LOAL (lock on after launch capability). While the F-35 has excellent HOBS potential
thanks to its various sensors, it misses the mark somewhat with its disappointing wing
loading and thrust to weight numbers. This alone is not enough to delegate it to
second-rate WVR status. What does is the fact the F-35 cannot carry
an internally mounted WVR weapon. Plans to carry the ASRAAM internally have
been shelved. Any F-35 in “stealth” configuration will have
to rely strictly on 2 to 4 AMRAAMs. This is really an “either/or” scenario. If the Rafale had an HMD, it wins. If the F-35 is carrying external WVR missiles,
it wins. If we give a “best case scenario” for both
aircraft (HMD for the Rafale and WVR missiles for the F-35), then the Rafale wins based
on its superior maneuverability and thrust-to-weight ratio. Advantage: Rafale Dogfight: Thanks to its close-coupled canard
design, the Rafale is just as happy playing it low and slow as it is supercruising. It has plenty of thrust and a big gun. No problems here. The F-35… Notsomuch. While the F-35 said to match the low speed
performance of the F/A-18, there are still concerns about its fragility and its lack
of cockpit visibility. If the JSF pilot finds themselves in a dogfight… They are going to have a bad time. Advantage: Rafale Air-to-air winner: Rafale. The supercruising, Meteor slinging, tighter
turning Rafale gets a clear win here. The F-35 will need to rely on guile and sneak
attacks, a tall order given the Rafale’s excellent sensors and defensive capabilities. Versatility/Logistics:
Versatility: Hoo boy… Both of these fighters were designed as “all-in-one”
systems capable of fulfilling all of your fighter needs… With a few caveats. The Rafale has three different flavors available. A single-seat CTOL air force variant, a two-seat
CTOL variant, and a single-seat naval variant capable of CATOBAR operations. All versions carry similar weapon loads, with
the naval Rafale M sacrificing a weapon pylon. The Joint Strike Fighter has three versions,
the CTOL capable F-35A, the STOVL F-35B, and the CATOBAR F-35C. Sadly, no two-seater versions are available. So which one is more versatile? If you need a STOVL, then the F-35 is the
way to go. Otherwise, a two-seater version may be preferable
for both training and high workload tasks. I’m going to give this one to the Rafale since
STOVL operations are rather limited in real-world usefulness. Advantage: Rafale Logistics: Long term support is where these
two aircraft differ the most. The Rafale is completely single sourced. It is currently in use by a single nation
with maybe a second coming soon. Parts and maintenance could be an issue, but
Dassault is willing to grant complete access to the Rafale’s software and intellectual
property. Customer nations have the option of producing
any and all spare parts and modifying the software as they see fit. The F-35 is the polar opposite of this. Parts should be plentiful with JSF squadrons
located all over the world. The Pentagon and Lockheed Martin are keeping
close tabs on F-35’s hardware and software, however. Any modifications to the JSF’s hardware or
software has to be done through them. This is like taking your laptop back to where
you bought it in order to add an external hard drive or to install a new app. Something as simple (yet necessary) as a drag
chute might have to wait until Lockheed Martin gets around to it. Both aircraft have their advantages and disadvantages
here. Advantage: Tie

World’s most dangerous weapon in China’s 70th National Day Military Parade

October 6, 2019

Hello and welcome, my name is Shailesh Kumar
and you are watching National Defence. People’s Republic of China is going to celebrate
70th anniversary parade on 01st October. This year’s parade is the first military
parade held on the occasion of the National Day after the Central Committee of the Communist
Party of China with Presient and Comrade Xi Jinping at its core began to lead the whole
Party, the military and Chinese people of all ethnic groups to enter a new era; it also
marks the debut for the whole of the PRC’s armed forces after its comprehensive restructuring. The parade will feature 59 phalanxes, about
15,000 soldiers, 160 aircraft and 580 other pieces of weaponry and equipment. About 300,000 civilians will participate in
the parade. Some new weaponry including DF-41 & other
hypersonic weapons are likely to feature in this parade. In last 70 years, Chinese leadership has made
sure of a constant rise of China in the world. At the parade of the ceremony of the founding
of the People’s Republic of China 70 years ago, the number of Chinese planes was inadequate
– only 17 aircraft! Then-Premier Zhou Enlai ordered to fly the
same planes twice. Time flies and world witnesses a new era of
China projecting itself as world superpower. All these years, Chinese leadership has imposed
strong discipline across the rank and files. This reflects in this years parade when one
participant was quoted by Chinese official mouthpiece Global Times saying “Practices
of the parade are certainly very tiring as they often take place at midnight. It takes a lot of time and stamina. The organizers even gave us adult diapers
because we do not have time to go to toilet during practice”. This parade will highlight Chinese military
power, at a time when Sino-US relations are deteriorating and international arms control
treaties are being called into question. Chinese relations with India are stable except
China is seen to use Pakistan as it’s proxy to advance it’s territorial ambitions. A defence analyst Antoine Bondaz claims that
their research indicates that unprecedented conventional and nuclear ballistic capabilities
will be paraded, some for the first time, demonstrating the quantitative and qualitative
modernization of China’s ballistic arsenal. Highly rapid, even hypersonic weapon systems
could also be shown, illustrating that China is, in some respects, at the forefront of
global innovation. The star attraction of this year’s parade
is likely to be Dongfeng-41 or DF-41, world’s longest range intercontinental ballistic missile
capable of 10 MIRV delivery with a range of 12000 Km to 15000 kilometer that can travel
at the speed of 25 mach that is 25 times the speed of sound. There may also be some hypersonic UAVs like
DR-8 and Sharp Sword developed by China’s indigenous defence industry. Another ballistic missile system, the DF-17,
which is reportedly able to carry a hypersonic glide vehicle as that of Russia’s Avangard
system will also feature in the parade. Such vehicles are able to manoeuvre evasively
at incredibly high speeds in order to evade missile defence systems. More new missile systems including anti-ship,
anti-aircraft and cruise missiles, as well as a new long-range multiple rocket launcher. Besides, Y-20 transport aircraft, J-20 stealth
fighters will also take part in the parade. The parade will see soldiers as young as 20
years to generals over 60 years as well participating in the parade. First time ever, two female generals will
also be leading the female formation to be reviewed with their glamourous charms and
valiant spirit. China denied the logic that exhibiting weaponry
is “flexing its muscles” and attributed parade a contributing factor for transparency. The military parade, consisting of two parts
– inspection and marchpast – will last around 80 minutes. The military forces to be reviewed will line
up in formations and receive inspection from President Xi Jinping. Then, the air flag guard formation, foot phalanxes,
armament phalanxes and aircraft echelon formations will cross Tian’anmen Square in succession. The foot phalanxes consist of 15 formations:
guards of honor, formations drawn from all branches of the services, formations of female
soldiers, representatives from the research faculties of various institutions and universities,
civilian staff in the armed forces, reserve forces, militia and peacekeeping troops. The armament phalanxes consist of 32 formations
in seven modules: ground assault weaponry, offshore assault weaponry, air defense and
anti-missile weaponry, information equipment, unmanned combat equipment, logistic equipment
and strategic strike weaponry. Aircraft echelons consist of 12 formations:
leading aircraft echelon, early warning planes, bombers, carrier-based aircraft, fighters
and aircraft from the army aviation unit. The joint military band, with the Military
Band of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army as the mainstay, is supplemented by more than
1,300 people drawn from other units. A total of 188 defense attachés from 97 countries
will be invited to watch the military parade on Oct. 1. No troops from foreign countries have been
invited to participate in this year’s parade, and no military leaders of foreign countries
have been invited to watch it. For the first time, a contingent from China’s
8,000-strong UN peacekeeping standby force will participate. China might try to showcase its military prowess
through the parade but facts remain that it still faces stiff competition in defence spending
with United States of America. However, China is Asia’s biggest defence
investor, who spent over 56 billion dollars, just over 33% of China’s overall defence
budget. USA on the other hand spent over 643 billion
dollar in 2018. It will be good if these weapons of mass destruction
are just used for showcasing the power rather actually using it. Any such use or counter usage will put human
race in danger. Thank you for watching National Defence. Hope you like this story. If yes, do give it a thumbs up, share the
video link and subscribe National Defence. Hope to see you soon with a new story. Till then take good care of your self. Jai Hind! Vande Matram.

75 Years: Air Force Plant 4’s Enduring Legacy

October 6, 2019

I think one word that I would choose
to describe the plant and its effect on the community is “security”. I think I
would say “service”. “Amazing.” “Reinvention.” Air force plant 4 represents a huge
impact of reinvention. Reinvention in our company. Reinvention in our community. Reinvention with our employees. As we have evolved over the 75 years, we
reinvented ourselves from being a bomber factory to now being a fifth generation
fighter factory. That’s the legacy that we have. The impact that we have. Not only in the city of Fort Worth, but also in the state of Texas. When you figure out
that we are probably the largest economic development project ever in the
history of the state of Texas by one contiguous company. I think about the
time I came here in the late 80s. General Dynamics at the time was the center of
the city. Fort Worth is also known as the crossroads to aviation. Our facility Air Force plant number 4 and then across the runway to the east
is NAS Fort Worth JRB. When I first started the paperwork – by hand paperwork. Now it’s electronic and it’s amazing change. One of the big changes I’ve seen since I’ve
been at the plant was basically almost the same thing the waiting line has
changed. When I first started it was so many people in so much noise. I
remember the days when we used to create rivets we…we produced rivets at the
south end of the factory and it was a very industrial intensive production
operation. When I look today at the facility, I look at all the manufacturing
innovation from the robots in the build process to the finishes and there’s been
a tremendous transformation of technology in the manufacturing floor.
Air Force plant 4 is like a little city to me you know from the factory
line to just all the people that you get to know here there’s so much opportunity
for growth and there’s so much opportunity to not only be good at what
you’re strongest at but to also cross train and learn other work here at the
plant. When the community look west from Fort Worth and saw the B-24s going out
in the 40s to the F-111s, F-16 now F-35. I think they really see that we are
providing those airplanes that they use to maintain the security of the nation.
Strength is what Fort Worth and Texas is to our nation and the vision of our
forefathers to be able to have a facility that can change over year to
year, decade to decade. And you look at this plant today over a mile long and
the thousands of people who have worked here. The generations of families that
have worked here. And the relationship to the to the plant, our company, the city,
Texas and our nation is significant. you

Who has the Stronger Military Power INDIA vs CHINA

October 3, 2019

Who has the Stronger Military Power INDIA
vs CHINA . Who will Win if they Battle each Other How India stacks up against China, and why
China can’t win despite its military superiority. Whenever India and China face off on the border,
the immediate question that arises is, who is the bigger military power? Obviously, it’s China. China dwarfs India in overall defence capabilities. Its defence budget stands at $152 billion
against India’s $51 billion, which is three times that of India. But that doesn’t mean China can subdue India. Governments on both sides believe that the
next India-China conflict would be limited in scope and short in duration instead of
a protracted, large-scale, force-on-force campaign. That’s due to the threat of nuclear attack
as both the countries have sufficient nuclear capability. Below is a detailed comparison of the military
strength of the two countries: Army
India has around 1.2 million active personnel, 4,426 combat tanks, 6,704 armoured fighting
vehicles, 290 self-propelled artillery, 7,414 towered artillery and 290 rocket projectors. On the other hand, China has around 2.3 million
personnel in active service with 6,457 in combat tanks, 4,788 armoured fighting vehicles,
1,710 self-propelled artillery, 6,246 towered artillery and 1,770 rocket projectors. Navy
China’s naval assets include 714 vessels, with one aircraft carrier, 51 frigates, 35
destroyers, 35 corvettes, 68 submarines, 220 patrol craft and 51 mini warfare vessels. India’s naval assets include 295 vessels,
with three aircraft carriers (one each in service, under construction and being planned),
14 frigates, 11 destroyers, 23 corvettes, 15 submarines, 139 patrol craft and six mini
warfare vessels. Clearly, Chinese naval power overwhelmingly
exceeds ours. However, Indian Navy is acquiring as well
as building vessels to expand its fleet. Air force
India’s total aircraft strength is about 2102, with 676 fighter aircraft, 809 attack aircraft,
857 transporters and 323 trainer aircraft. Total helicopters are around 666, including
16 attack helicopters. China’s total aircraft strength is about 2,955,
with 1,271 fighter aircraft, 1,385 attack aircraft, 782 transporters, 352 trainer aircraft. It has 912 helicopters out of which 206 are
attack helicopters. Nuclear stockpile
India’s nuclear stockpile has around 130 warheads. Minimum tactical missile range is about 150
km, farthest strike distance tested successfully is 5,000-6,000 km (Agni -V). Surya, an intercontinental ballistic missile
being developed, has a range up to 16,000 km. China has a nuclear stockpile of 270 warheads. Chinese Intercontinental ballistic missiles
can strike targets as far as 15,000 km. A missile shield guards China from incoming
missiles by intercepting them before they reach Chinese territory. China has at least 90 ICBMs out of which 66
are land-based and 24 are submarine-based. China has upper hand but, India is in Very
fast in Modernization and will catch up with China within a Decade. If we look at the Chinese Defence Budget. It is $161 Billion USD and India’s is $51 Billion USD So the Winning Percentage will be India is
46% and China’s 54%. If we look at the Allies and Axis of India
and China India’s Allies are United States of America,
Israel, Australia, Japan, France, United Kingdom, Indonesia, Singapore, Vietnam, Canada and
Thailand. If we look at the Chinese Axis Russia, North
Korea, UAE, Iran, Philippines, Qatar and Mexico So when we compare the Allies and Axis winning
Percentage it will bad for China’s Axis. China’s axis is 33% Percentage and India’s
Allies is 67% Percentage. So to the Conclusion India and China go to
a Battle it will be no Loss for no one and no gain for no one. Particularly if they to have to Battle with
both sides, they will be having allies with them. And with these said Allies. India will be having the much much upper hand
than China’s. China will be having a Lower hand. So what do you think Military Powers of India
and China. Does India is ready for China or China is
Ready for India. Will they both have Battle in the Future or
in the coming years. Post your Comments below

US F-35 vs Russian Su-35 Fighter Jet – Which Would Win? – Military Comparison

October 2, 2019

The USA’s global military dominance is unquestionable,
partially owing to the fact that it outspends other countries by a long shot. As we saw in our recent episode, “Top 10
Most Powerful Militaries in the World,” America has a staggering $639 billion defense
budget, which is around 10 times larger than the defense budget of second-placed Russia. That isn’t to say, however, that Russia
doesn’t own some of the world’s most devastating military technology. Even though Russia also comes in second with
regard to world’s most advanced air force, it is, nonetheless, the owner of one of the
most feared and respected flying machines ever made: The Sukhoi Su-35. We thought it would be fun to see how well
that machine would fare if it were pitted against America’s pride and joy of the skies,
in this episode of The Infographics Show, Dogfight: America’s F-35 Fighter Jet vs
Russia’s Su-35. Don’t forget to subscribe, and be sure to
click the bell button so that you can be part of our Notification Squad. Let’s start by looking at the Su-35. The aircraft is a vastly upgraded version
of the Sukhoi Su-27, which makes-up most of Russia’s 3,547 fleet. The single-seat, twin-engine, multirole fighter
had its maiden flight as a prototype in 1998, and has since been modernized. The Russian Military of Defence has boasted
that it has the most advanced aircraft ever created, hoping other countries might bite
and import some of its Su-35s. A handful of countries such as India, Indonesia,
and Brazil have expressed interested in purchasing a number of these fighter jets, but only China
so far has showed the money, reportedly spending $2 billion on a 24-strong fleet. The first batch of four jets became property
of the Chinese late in 2016; the second batch of 10 was delivered in February this year,
and the rest will arrive in China in 2018. Earlier this year Russian Defense Minister
Sergey Shoigu said cooperation between the two countries in terms of defense was “at
an all-time high.” In light of this ever-expanding and sometimes
confounding arms race, we’ll introduce America’s newest weapon of choice in the air, the Lockheed
Martin F-35 Lightning II. Currently the F-35 comes in three models,
each with a varying capacity for different types of warfare. The F-35A is for conventional takeoff and
landing; the F-35B is for short takeoff and vertical-landing, and the F-35C is for Catapult
Assisted Take-Off Barrier Arrested Recovery for use on an aircraft carrier. The single-seat, single-engine, multirole
stealth fighters’ first iteration flew its maiden flight in 2006. In 2015 and 2016, the F-35B and F-35A respectively
were said to be ready to be deployed. The USA is set to buy 2,457 of these aircraft
from aerospace company Lockheed Martin. U.S allies, including the U.K., Canada, Australia,
the Netherlands, and other countries, have helped shoulder some of the burden of the
cost of developing this supreme flying machine, contributing somewhere in the region of $4.375
billion. Development costs are expected to be around
the $40 billion mark, although the purchase of 2,457 jets will be an estimated $200 billion. If the aircraft is delivered as promised,
it will make the F-35 one of the world’s most numerous fighter jets. Interestingly, despite U.S. allies investing
heavily in the development of the F-35, the U.S. military has said that no one but itself
will have access to the software codes required for the fighter to function. A number of allies have expressed dissatisfaction
at this, believing it to be a rebuff from the U.S. The secret to the F-35’s magic is in the
code, as we will see. One thing experts seem to agree on is that
a dogfight between these two mighty machines is a highly unlikely scenario. If a dogfight did occur, one air combat researcher
said in 2016 that the F-35 would not beat the Su-35 in a million years. It was also reported, somewhat controversially,
that the F-35 came out the loser in simulated dogfights when it came up against its aged
predecessor, the F-16. So why then is America’s newest aircraft
called the most advanced fighter jet the U.S., or anyone for that matter, has ever created? The reason is simply because it was designed
to do a lot more than meet in a head-to-head battle in the sky. Experts have said comparing the F-35 to older
jets is like comparing an iPhone to a wall-mounted telephone. “We don’t even know 50-80% of what this
airplane can do,” one former F-35 commander was quoted as saying. We do know its stealth attributes, mind-boggling
computational power, and complex use of data are designed to make it neither seen nor heard. At the same time, it sees everything, able
to detect an aircraft such as the Su-35 from a very long distance. The F-35’s active electronically scanned
array radar system is said to be able to spot another aircraft from as far as 186 miles
(300 km), which is far superior to the 30 miles (50km) range of the Su-35’s infrared
search and track system. The electronic warfare suite of the F-35 makes
it a flying hacker like no other, being able to jam another aircraft’s radio frequencies
better than previous technology has been able to do. It’s also said to have an unprecedented
situational awareness, meaning it’s one step ahead of its foes at all times. One U.S. air force commander put it like this:
“The pilot sees a beautiful God’s eye view of what’s going on, and it’s a stunning amount
of information.” What would an F-35 do if it came close to
an Su-35? It would probably head-off in another direction,
is the consensus from experts. The Su-35’s supermaneuverability is way
ahead of the F-35, which has an inferior thrust-to-weight ratio. In terms of dogfighting, it’s just not as
nimble as the Su-35. The F-35’s main strength is to know how
to avoid ever being in a position in which it would have to engage with an Su-35, thanks
to its game-changing computational power. This brings us to some head-to-head facts
about the two fighter jets. Note there are slight differences between
the F-35 A, B and C. Speed: The F-35 can reach up to speeds of
1,200 miles per hour, whereas the Su-35 has a maximum speed of 1,726 miles per hour. Likewise, the Su-35 has a superior rate of
climb at 280 meters per second, to the F-35’s 230 meters per second. This is why one outspoken researcher said
the F-35 “can’t turn, can’t climb, can’t run”. The U.S. military’s rejoinder to this criticism
is that it doesn’t have to. Range: The F-35 can fly 1,200 nautical miles
between take-off and landing, while the Su-35 has a 1,940 mile range. The service ceiling, which means how high
the aircraft can reach using its full potential, favors the F-35 at 65 thousand feet. The Su-35’s service ceiling is 55 thousand
feet. As for offense, the aircrafts are quite different. The F-35 is said to have superiority at long
distance with its MBDA Meteor Beyond Visual Range missile. The Su-35’s AA-12 Adder missile has received
good reviews, but is said to be slightly inferior. The F-35 also packs an IRIS-T infrared homing
air-to-air missile, an AIM-9X short range missile and an AIM-120 Advanced Medium-Range
Air-to-Air Missile. It carries 7 types of Air-to-surface missiles
and two types of anti-ship missiles. Similarly, the Su-35 carries an assortment
of short, medium and long range missiles. In terms of bombs the F-35 carries a larger
selection, including a B61 nuclear bomb. As for pricing the F-35 costs somewhere between
95-121 million dollars per unit, while the Su-35 is less than half that at 40-65 million
dollars. Some critics have said the F-35 is almost
too big to lose, in terms of cost. Adding to budget woes is the fact that its
futuristic design has resulted in developmental pains and costly defects. Who would win in a dogfight between these
two kings of the sky has become a somewhat divided matter between those who’ve been
following the development of fighter jets. Luckily for everyone the fight is purely hypothetical
at the moment, but given what you know now, which machine would you put your money on?! The fast-moving, aerial grappler, or the patient
super-brain pegged by some as a quantum leap in aircraft technology? Let us know in the comments! And if you want to see more American and Russian

Antonov an-2 55 it spans almost 6 meters and weighs just 25 kilograms the two
aircrafts were merged aerodynamically well the small baby space shuttle was
placed on the back of the Antonov an-2 55 Maria aircraft in addition a single

real one actually it retract it’s a landing gear for a better flight number
9 ch 113 Labrador this keep toy is towing an incredibly
designed helicopter which has two excellent rotor blades in swiss heli
challenge 2016 it’s not every day you see a fantastic artistic masterpiece of
an RC plane or helicopter if someone is going to spend a year building something
not to mention spending thousands of dollars they better know how to fly if
not that’s a quick way to lose all of the time and money that you worked so
hard for this military tandem helicopter is 2.3 meters long and weighs just 22
kilograms moreover its dual 20 centimeter long rotary blades are
powered by contra neck pyro 850 motor which is controlled by contra net cosmic

70 kilograms ah deep it’s built it and it’s pretty damn incredible it sounds
like the real thing it takes off it lands and flies like the real thing and
from far away it really does look like the real thing
altogether the project took more than 2,000 hours to accomplish probably
making the pilots somewhat nervous during its first flight for IQ hammer
