We should have named the XM-8 F-35 instead

But the multirole isn't a meme.
A F-14, a Rafale B/M, a F-15E, tandem seat Su-27, etc… are perfectly fine multirole fighters, they have the range, the payload and the performance to do both things appropriately.
The F-35 just isn't one of them…
I mean there isn't even a two seats version!
Nolan Moore
The day we completely retire the F-15 is the day America will be invaded. We should push for the F-15 to get it's final upgrade with that stealth package so we can justify keeping it around till 2030.

I thought the Pilot couldn't fire the gun at all until a scheduled software update in 2019?
Easton Morris
What the actual fucking hell.

F-35 not scrapped yet? Its Chinese clone will kick its ass!
Andrew Thompson
Gee xi, your peasants let you have two engines?

A WW1 biplane could kick its ass in a 1v1 by virtue of not having its heat/radar signature recognized by the hyper-advanced avionics suite, thus automatically disabling master arm without pilot input thanks to heightened gun control requirements among the USAF.
The only option then would be to ram the wildly maneuvering biplane, but such maneuvers would in all likelihood either crush the Pilot's neck or overtax the FBW system.

Italy bought some of them and is also participating in the cost.
I don't want to be a colony anymore,let Aermacchi or Piaggio build our plane.
