The F-35 initiatives for a "one platform for all branches" mirrors the F-4 Phantom and McNamara's push for standardized platform to emphasize on a perceived technologically advantage-guided missiles that made dogfighting rebundant.... We all know that played out in vietnam.... Now they are saying it's okay if the F-35 is beta, nobody can detect our stealth planes! Like the unshootable Nighthawk stealth bomber in Belgrade that was taken out by a SAM. Of course the f-22 has no equal but I wonder just how much this stealth edge is going to last. Somewhere someone is sitting on a slush fund to figure out (or have figured out already) how to detect stealth and counter measures.
