It’s not a speed thing (though it can get to that point). It’s more about total
Engagement envelopes affected by stealth, counter measures, mission degrading, etc.

I don't get how jet fighters are still a thing anti air missiles nowadays are faster than planes and they are just getting better. Planes should be as fast as the x 43 doing mach 9+

As badpvtdan1 @badpvtdan1 said.
Our anti-aircraft missiles have had the speed to beat anything flying forever, including our old SR-71.
The F-14 for example carried the Phoenix AAM which in its best day saw speeds of Mach 5 40 years ago.
I don't know the stats off-hand but I don't think the U.S. has even 1 confirmed kill with a Phoenix.

The X-43 was a proof-of-concept platform for scramjet/ramjet tech.

I really only think the F-47 is likely a high-tec fast-moving control platform and/or money grab.
But still cool to see a new piloted jet.

Legit, non-snarky question:

How can (will) next gen manned fighter aircraft compare to unmanned, remotely flown drone technology?

The name is an obvious dig at the president.
I could see that...but it'd also be a huge backfire when it turns out to be a huge ass-kicker that takes out enemy targets with reckless abadon, too.

I would hope that the reason we're being bled dry is because the DOD is 30 years ahead of the cutting edge of military tech, and that this latest welfare payment to Boeing is a gambit to lull our enemies into a false sense of normalcy.

No idea... But you probably don't want to be caught out with China leading you in a class of military vehicle.

I love you @ thuglife13 and I don't expect you to hate Jew's or anything like I dislike them , but I really wonder, what is the line where you are opposed to to them
As in " fuck you ,your on your own."
Is their a line at all ?
If they find a red heffer and kill it and usher in the Armageddon, are you cool with that ?

Can they do no wrong? Cos they are God chosen ones ?

An unmanned plane would not have a G force restriction on the pilots we could build planes that can take 20 Gs without a pilot.

Oh yea which unmanned plane is that then?


How fast do you reckon unmanned planes are going?

I have no problem cutting all countries off, even Israel and taking care of our own first. As long as Israel keeps killing radical shitty mudslimes I'm all for it. If we start cutting countries off, Israel should be towards the last of the list way before every POS mudslime country we give aid to...

I would argue they should be cut off immediately purely due to them selling military tech.
China's fleet of fighter jet's are a direct rip off of the F-35 which they got from Israel.
That's a fact that everyone in congress are aware of yet isreal paid zero consequences for.
That's why they didn't give the F-22 to Israel. Because they knew they couldn't keep it secret if they did that. Israel has promised not to sell the tech many time and repeatedly broken that promise.

My question is . Is Israel just in the conflict with Palestinians. If they ( Palestinians)were Christian or Jewish would you still support Israel?
Are you ok with them sacrificing a red heffer ?
