The thing with the F-35 is you’ll never actually hear about it being “better” because there is no dogfight. It shows up, you die, that’s it. In the real-world it would be like one guy showing up to a boxing ring to fight, and the other guy dropping a nuclear bomb on the stadium. The whole point of 5th gen fighters is that they don’t engage, they have so much technology that they blow up the opponent before the opponent even knows they showed up.

Meanwhile, Russia’s “5th gen” fighters can’t get near the airspace because they both don’t have the proper smart munitions, and don’t have the physical capabilities to fly into an area blanketed in US AA weapons.

All part of the attempt to sway the next election. Gives Cucker Tarlson an interview where he (Putin) proceeds to paint all of his actions as a poor humble Russian leader just trying to protect his own people from the big bad Ukranians. Then follows it up with an offer to negotiate peace, which shockingly the evil dictator Biden refuses to do. If only we had someone like the Cheeto Benito who’s interested in peace leading the US, everything would be so much better for everyone! Queue troll farm spamming Twitter
