Rear for wheels, front barelly for 1 AA missile IMO.

Dont really see a place for weapon pods. :rolleyes:

Interesting that X-32 design without horisontal tail did not work very well, so for production model they planned to change it to normal one:

Combination of X32 and F-35.

yes seems like this.

Its not exactly the same but similar from what I see. Really strange shape. But maybe they put something to conceal the shape. Soon we will see. It also has strange belly. Maybe it is a detachable weapons pod?

:rolleyes:

Looks very similar to F-35 except tail section. I think it is just mockup.

1) There is no datalink on missile, only a reciever. 2) You dont need anything complicated, just simple directional antenna looking backwards. It will be virtually impossible to jam.

1) All modern missile systems use radio command for midcourse guidance (except very short range). That does not make them vulnerable, on contrary. Pantsir uses radio command for final guidance as well. 2) There was no Pantsir in Karabakh. 3) Tamir has EO seeker.

This is very very old brochure. In modern brochures u wont find RF seeker.

Iron Dome has optic seeker (radar seeker is too expensive). You can see separation of nose cone in this video (0:57-0.59): As u can see nose cone is made of metal, not transparent for radar waves:

Iron Dome has discardable nose cone.

In Syria there is a full network. sure IRCT range from front is pretty low, plus u cant guide radar missiles with them (radar missile need midcourse guidance). F-15 and F-16 were not wonder weapons either. F-15 was much slower than MiG-25, MiG-23 was much faster than F-16. But we know what...

And Pantsir was made to create an impenetrable shield against stealthy cruise missiles. F-35 beats Su-57 in stealth. F-35 beats Su-57 in ECM. F-35 beats Su-57 in RWR. F-35 beats Su-57 in situational awareness. F-35 beats Su-57 in networking. F-35 beats Su-57 in sensor fusion. F-35 beats Su-57...

The Air Force’s deputy chief of staff for strategy, integration and requirements said in a recent interview that the force will begin to phase out the F-22 and A-10 in about nine years, by 2030 or so, opting for greater reliance on autonomous and unmanned aircraft...

Why we need them if US itself getting rid of them?

F-35 is much more effective actually. It has more advanced avionics, better networking , better sensor fusion, much better strike capabilities. It is not so fast and maneuverable, but these things are good mostly for hollywood movies.

They have J-20, why copy trash F-35? Why unmatched F-22 stopped production after 180 and will be phassed out while trash F-35 will be produced in thousands and remain in service for decades?
