The pro-Ukraine person responding to the zigger is a retard because 1 plane, of any kind, would do precisely fuck all. Even assuming it is such a quantum leap over the Russians that it's essentially invulnerable (which it's absolutely not), the odds that it would be in place to do anything about any given Russian airstrike is basically nil.
This also ignores that one of the major but almost-never-talked-about advantages of the F-35 is its networking and squadron integration capability. The F-35 is not a lone wolf air superiority superfighter, it's specifically designed to hunt in packs and rely on low observability, advanced sensor and electronic warfare capability, and tightly integrated communications and battlespace management to detect, co-ordinate against, and destroy the enemy from beyond visual range before the enemy even knows your squadron exists.

Yes this is boring and gay and muh F-14 dogfighting Top Gun SOVL is a lot cooler, but it turns out that boring and gay is more effective, and effectiveness matters more than looking cool.
 
Everything about that retweet was just bad.

The zigger is a retard because it doesn't matter how cheap your planes are if you're not building them in relevant numbers. He talks about 1 F-22 vs 9 Su-57s, while ignoring the fact the US has ~180 F-22s, and Russia has 22 Su-57s (not including the test aircraft). It gets astronomically worse if you bring F-35s into the equation because the US is currently building more than 2x as many F-35s per year as Russia s planning to build Su-57s in total.

Zoomie zooms playing too much Helldivers and assume it's like Eagle-1 where it can divebomb Putler's automatons and fly off without any risk to itself. Or get into top gun dogfights and destroy the enemy planes.

Tell 'em what a water balloon full of paint getting sucked into one of the engines would do, you fat retard.

ps patrick is very fat and obese by every medical standard
 
IIRC the germans in WW2 had tons of equipment that outclassed the US/Allied shit, but the US could make a billion shermans an hour whereas the tiger had to be sent back to Berlin to change direction.
While it's nice to have a lot of great equipment, it's not going to do much without fuel and by the end of the war we had all but strangled the fuel supplies of the Axis by "persuading" most of the people who had oil to spare not to sell to them. The Germans made some pretty important discoveries in the desperation to make fuel, like using the Fischer-Tropf process on a mass scale to generate usable fuel from (mostly) coal, but it was too little too late.

How about a fat pig getting sucked into one of the engines. Just kidding, that could never happen, because he's fat.

Ironically the F-14 was amongst the first aircraft to be designed for that kind of doctrine. It was not a dogfighter at all, it was a point defence interceptor with a massive and incredibly advanced radar designed to blast TU-22Ms out of the sky from a hundred miles away with the Phoenix, the most advanced and expensive air to air missile ever created, in concert with a specialist naval AWACS and the carrier itself. The Tomcat was big, heavy and the early models were badly underpowered. It turned like a truck and bled speed horribly when it turned. The F/A-18 was a much better dogfighter.

Also Patrick is fat.

And the F/A-18, like the F-35, was a multi-role aircraft first and foremost, not a dogfighter. The US had realized that dogfighting was stupid and abandoned it in favor of team-focused boom-and-zoom tactics relatively early in WWII.

Patrick is fat and I would not put him in charge of fighter procurement.

Given he's a professional comic I'm not even sure how Rick can be mad about this.

Journalist Pat
Pat's comfort zone is firmly at the top-left of the dunning-krueger effect graph. If you put a gun to his head and asked him how an air to air missile works, he couldn't explain it even if you allowed him to use the Internet.

He doesn't know a damn thing about the engineering, he sure as hell has never read any of the secret documents that describe the true performance of the weapons systems he's blubbering on about, but he's happy speaking to the public as an authority on the subject.

I wonder if Fatty recognized Lee "Angel Eyes" van Cleef (the "Bad" in "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly") (as well as dozens of other cowboy movies).

Also the Germans literally couldn't mine enough coal to feed their electricity needs and steel needs and fuel needs, Germany really was up shit creek resource-wise.
 
Foolish childs, dont you know that Fatrick S Bloblinson is a sci-fi author? As such he is an expert on all technology, tactics, and science. Noted Scifi author Arthur C Clark first conceptualised geosynchronous satelites for communications and Fatty Pigtits does the exact same thing. I'm sorry you're too stupid to understand this. You are guilty of felonius ignorance, enjoy prison.
