Very interesting interview. I think they were training specifically for close air combat in the scenario, which is not something the F-35 is meant to do. But it makes sense to at least train for it. They just really briefly mention my point in the video at this timestamp.

I mean, most role playing will be as other humans, and we are animals. So that explains most.

After that I feel it's mostly other mammals. I guess it's easier the more similar the body is to ours?

The Eurofighter is first and foremost for fighting other aircraft, while the F-35 sacrifices some capability in that regard to be better at blowing up stuff on the ground.

The only major thing the F-35 is giving up is super-cruise, which makes it less suitable as an interceptor specifically.

I don’t doubt that the F-35 could take on most other aircraft very effectively

For general air-to-air combat and establishing air-superiority the F-35 is still vastly superior. Their stealth allows them to engage other air targets BVR before being spotted themselves. They have been wiping the floor with every other NATO aircraft except the F-22 in past red flag exercises.

I don't think that Trump would be allowed to fuck with Lockheed Martin's stock price.

A good amount of the parts are already produced in Europe. Also there is over 20 F-35 operators already, almost all friendly to each other. Unless the US would cut of everyone from crucial spare part deliveries, they could still be sourced.

Also if the US would actually do such a thing that would guarantee that no one will ever buy their fighter jets again and they love selling fighter jets. It's just not a realistic scenario.

The "kill-switch" is a myth.

And as much as I'd like to piss of Trump by denying the US the business, it shouldn't come at the expense of our military capabilities.

None of those is superior.

Reddit for nerds and political extremists.

That's a different word.

I must have gone through all the options twice, but can't find it. Not a super big deal, but since you already have the library button below, it's a bit redundant and unnecessarily taking up space.

A noble false widow, Steatoda nobilis (though this is an odd one, but don't see what else it could be).

I've been appointed as a mod 3 times now.

The action shows up in the modlog straight away, but it always takes a couple of hours until it actually works. Then, serveral hours later it seems to just reverse itself.

I suspect it has to do with ongoing federation issues on the side of lemmus.org (the instance of the head mod account). All post from lemmy.world are delayed by about 12 hours on that instance.

Maybe the delayed federation somehow messes with the mod appointments?

I really have no idea why I was banned from those two communities specifically. I don't think I've interacted with any of them (apart from reading/voting) for weeks. It's not an instance ban.

If there is a better place to post this, please tell me.

EDIT:

I posted a link that was falsely flagged as malicious, have been unbanned! See comments for more details!
