Tenchu's Thoughts: Why the Muskperger is full of Bullshishka when it comes to the F-35
So the Muskperger decided to come out and show us how he's smarter than everyone else.
And the first target of his oh-so-superior intellect is the F-35 Joint Strike Boondoggle.
His reasoning is that drones have overtaken the battlefield, and that the F-35 is just too damned expensive and not useful anymore.
Really?
I agree that the F-35 is super expensive and might not be worth it. But it is already being used by our allies, including Israel who used F-35 fighters to strike Iran, Syria, and other targets.
Moreover, when China starts fielding its J-20 stealth fighter, does the Muskperger really think that Taiwan could fight back with a swarm of drones? LOL ...
But here's the real kicker.
If drones could replace strong aviation, then Ukraine would be winning against RuZZia.
Easily.
Instead, Ukraine has to rely on drones not because they choose to, but because they have no other choice but to.
RuZZia also uses drones, but not as well as Ukraine. However, RuZZia still has a vastly superior air force.
And while said RuZZian aviation is performing a lot worse than expected, it is still being used to bite off bits and pieces of the Ukrainian defensive lines, even from afar.
So even a 4th-generation fighter fleet that is being utilized by nincompoops is still finding some use in Ukraine.
And although Ukraine's superior fleet of drones is doing very well, Ukraine would LOVE to also get their hands on more F-16s, or better yet, F-22 and F-35 stealth fighters.
So sorry, all you fans of the Muskperger, but in this particular case he doesn't know what the Brandon he is talking about.
