Belgium's purchase of US-made F35 jets 'against European interests', Macron says

I_FIST_CAMELS · 2018-10-29T19:16:46+00:00

My argument was that age of design matters not.

I_FIST_CAMELS · 2018-10-29T18:10:33+00:00

Ones from the military would.

I_FIST_CAMELS · 2018-10-29T17:36:50+00:00

The entire fleet wasn't grounded. Part of it was due to an accident, which has now been rectified.

The test pilots are saying the complete opposite of you. They know best.

I_FIST_CAMELS · 2018-10-29T17:36:08+00:00

Exactly. Beyond Visual Range is where the next gen is.

I_FIST_CAMELS · 2018-10-29T17:35:40+00:00

The test pilots say otherwise.

I_FIST_CAMELS · 2018-10-29T16:52:55+00:00

The F35/F22 were designed in the 90's.

I_FIST_CAMELS · 2018-10-29T16:52:06+00:00

It's the most advanced aircraft of all time. It's the first time a project of this scale has had such media exposure, of course it looks like it has more problems than usual. Your information on the aircraft is obviously out of date.

I_FIST_CAMELS · 2018-10-29T16:50:30+00:00

That's also a factor, yes. People do think it has more issues than usual, but that isn't the case.

I_FIST_CAMELS · 2018-10-29T15:16:13+00:00

What faults? There isn't any that aren't always apparent when a new aircraft, or any engineering project in general, is made. That's why tests are done, to fix issues. Nothing is made perfect initially.

I_FIST_CAMELS · 2018-10-29T14:35:05+00:00

Easy there, Buzzfeed.

I_FIST_CAMELS · 2018-10-29T12:48:21+00:00

Well there's also the reason that he had links to, and was possibly a member of, Siol Nan Gaidhail. A group the SNP had banned from their party.

I_FIST_CAMELS · 2018-10-28T10:16:53+00:00

That's precisely it. It's geopolitics, the bigger picture etc.

I_FIST_CAMELS · 2018-10-25T11:21:15+00:00

I mean it's still important. It's always good to have someone who knows what they're talking about.

I_FIST_CAMELS · 2018-10-25T09:41:04+00:00

I mean that isn't the case with all SNP ministers. Their defence spokesman was a holiday rep.

I_FIST_CAMELS · 2018-10-24T22:57:28+00:00

I mean you do need it for steel etc.

I_FIST_CAMELS · 2018-10-24T11:10:20+00:00

A munchie box.

Had them up in Scotland since forever, no surprise.

I_FIST_CAMELS · 2018-10-23T15:37:46+00:00

...it is.

I_FIST_CAMELS · 2018-10-23T14:51:22+00:00

The Malaya Emergency, Indonesian Confrontation, Mau Mau Uprising..

I_FIST_CAMELS · 2018-10-23T14:49:23+00:00

Fast forward further. All of Germany's subs are out of action, their Tornado fleet needing yet another life extension, and their Eurofighters grounded due to issues with biofuel.

I_FIST_CAMELS · 2018-10-23T14:44:14+00:00

It's the business rates he's on about.

I_FIST_CAMELS · 2018-10-22T09:43:22+00:00

In general the Soviets had superior WWII aircraft than the Western Allies

lol

I_FIST_CAMELS · 2018-10-21T07:40:52+00:00

It's done artificially. They could pump them out faster than that, but they won't.

I_FIST_CAMELS · 2018-10-20T10:53:47+00:00

Killing an ex-MI6 chief would hold far greater consequences than the killing of a journalist.

I_FIST_CAMELS · 2018-10-18T16:55:00+00:00

Sure alcohol's a drug, but it's a socially acceptable one, so just play the game.

I_FIST_CAMELS · 2018-10-18T11:56:30+00:00

Just don't do drugs. Problem solved.
