Title: Japan's new stealth fighter?
Post by: DaveBB on January 29, 2016, 05:26:25 PM: What's the initial thoughts on Japan's new stealth fighter? I thought it looked very unstealthy. Perhaps it is only meant to be stealthy from the front aspect? Quite stubby wings too.

Why would it be a joke? Japan is undoubtedly one of the few countries we know have the materials knowledge to build such aircraft.

I understand Godzilla is rather near sighted so it does not need to be that stealthy. Makes sense :aok

That's a mean thing to say! :rofl

I hope it is awesome. We can't seem to build anything that can take on future threats, perhaps we can buy some from Japan.

Of course they do; I only took a quick look and thought so.

I am more concerned about Singapore, the HMS Repulse, and the HMS Prince of Wales.

Post by: wil3ur on February 01, 2016, 12:14:29 AM: It actually looks fairly small, so from a 'stealth' point of view, maybe the enemy will think it's just a cesna at 30k doing mach 1.5?

Actually, first thought's when seeing it reminded me of this:

We would help but our new carriers equipped with f35's aren't finished yet and are way over budget. Plus our new frigates haven't got enough power, so need a refit to install a third generator to keep the lights on. :rolleyes:

Bruv,

We have a few canoes and a few kayaks that we could lend you if needed!

We were going to get a few F35's but we found out there was no place to fasten the sled dogs to so we canceled the order! It makes no sense to build a fancy sled and not have a place to connect the dogs to it...... :confused:
