Interesting, especially the F-117 shootdown account. Thanks.

The SU-35 is far superior and is more reliable than the F-35 and the F-22 but costs far less. Why? Because the US government is a criminal enterprise.

A major problem with the F-35 is they wanted an all-in-one military aircraft for all branches of the military. Needed it to be carrier capable as well as an interceptor and a bomber etc, etc, etc. I think it was billed as a money saving thing but it's quite the opposite.

My beef is that when hardware like this becomes so incredibly expensive, it means fewer units can be purchased. During WW2 we made 10's of thousands of some fighter aircraft, but that is impossible with these modern jets. Supposedly we can fight a world war with just a few hundred of them.
