Does the F35 JSF have the same material? Will that mean spiralling maintenance costs for both fleets (US and allies)?
Surely its better to invest in SEAD (AA suppression) and better counter measures like lasers?
- SEJeff 7y agoThe ideal modern SEAD combo is the F22 flying ahead to designate targets and using the F35 as the "gun truck" to launch missiles at targets the F22 sends it.
- thunderbird120 7y agoNo it does not. The F35's radar absorbent material is much more baked into the actual airframe rather than being essentially a delicate coating.
