It's all just a waste of tax money putting a woman through flight training and a dog and pony show all just to emasculate and downplay males. Well if that's the way it is, they can stick their planes and military up their butt :moon:.

Sad thing is not a woman pilot, sad thing is that F-35, the most expensive fighter jet in the world! Why is that sad? Because just like in Bosnia it can be shot down by an anti aircraft system designed in 1950s. Secret is using long wave length radar. After a certain wave length stealth simply does not work. You don't need expensive anti aircraft systems to shoot down stealth planes, existing anti aircraft systems, even those designed in 1950s that were used in vietname war will do. Secret is in wave length of the radar. If the most expensive plane in the world can be shot down by the most cheap and the most abandoned anti aircraft system, what's the point? Super manuvering? MIGs and Sukhois have much better vectoring engines capable of 360 axis vectoring and can out manuver. Vertical take off? That's a plus, I guess. The new super pooper radar system capable of out detecting? That would be a plus, but I doubt it.


United States could have just put vectoring engines into F-16s, it would've been much cheaper.


Here is the photo of ЗРК С-125, designed 1956 - 1961, took down F-117 once uponn time in Ugoslavia. Since S-125 there was a dozen or two more AA systems, all are capable of shooting down stealth.


Theoritically a plane could be coated with paint that will consume all incoming radar waves, but that coat of paint will have to be meter in depth.

My point is, how would one use such a plane? More precisely, you can't use it against Russia, China, India, Syria, Belarus, Kazahstan, Uzbekistan, Mongolia, Cuba, Venesuela. What is left are really 3rd world countries populated with either indians with bows and arrows or arabs. Here in lies the mystery, at least to me, why not use existing planes like F-16 and what else you have there against those countries?


By the way, stealth technology was born in Soviet Union, it was Petr Ufimtsev who first come up with equivations that described the shape of stealth. In America there was a team researching the stealth and with their, back to that day, super computers they could not come up with proper shape. It just merely by accident that the American team come across the work of Mr. Ufimtsev. The minute that the Americans took hold of stealth secret, Ufimtsev come up with anti-stealth, i.e. the long length radar. As history showed, the existing S-125 already could detect and shoot down stealth aircraft. So the point in stealth guys?


I mean, so here you have a super expensive aircraft and it can only be used against some 3rd world country, preferably without any kind of anti aircraft system. I'm at odds with logic, I can't handle this sh1t! I bet the woman test pilot is some sort of PR movement to make that thing popular. What's next, the all gay mechanic team?

Even in the last few Call Of Duties there are women on your team when you play. I dunno, I just stopped playing, shît was annoying me. I can imagine dealing with that in real life.

What if she's on the rag but has to fly an important mission? She gets excused, just like that? Shît's kinda whacked, son. My understanding of the world is decreasing as time goes on.

Remember when people used to be scared of the military and the 'government'? We used to actually think they were high tech and and innovative.

Now I literally laugh. All this in a 20 year period.
