@@BGRUBBINthe harrier has a long and lustrous career as an extremely useful aircraft, it is most certainly not pointless. They were able to be launched off of container ships in the Falklands War after the carrier was sunk, and Italy, who has few suitable runways, has put them to great use (and they want F-35Bs too). The Harrier was so advantageous that the US marines were willing to sink millions into developing, updating and improving it to maintain its ability to remain operational. It’s not as lethal as other jets, but it can be based out of areas completely inaccessible to those jets. By your reasoning helicopters are useless. That’s absurd.

. Big talks don’t make killer birds… Korea’s KFX-21 would probably be more than capable of handling this sucker than the 35 itself… Comfort food is contagious however so brag on!!! . .

F35A the best performing but limited if range because it cant be launched anywhere without a land base. F35B the best variant that can be deployed anywhere but the worst performing once in the air i hope that other countries would not developed a plane with the same stealth, same tech but better raw performance because this plane will be like a devastator fighting a Zero. F35C meh basically an F35A with larger wings trade the guns for fuel capacity much heavier but aesthetically the best. So in conclusion, we can understand why Marines love the F35B is because it wasnt build for dogfights so they dont care about going toe to toe with another 5th gen fighter and they hope BVR is the way, Navy is less satisfied and i can understand why they basically have a ripped off version of F35A instead of having an aircraft design that really is for Naval use like before but now they are recycling air force toys unlike in the 40s to 60s where grumman design aircrafts that are really intended for naval used hence no performance tradeoffs. Air Force is the child who is really happy, fortunately they have bases abroad so their pilots aint going to watch navy pilots in the news doing all the work.

I think the F-35B is brilliant but the A & C are compromised aircraft. I also think that when designers were planning aircraft like the NGAD or FA/XX that they turned to the F-35 suppliers. For example, the YF-23's cockpit borrowed from the F-15. The F-35 does not carry a Halon tank for fires, it makes it's own CO2.
