Perdonad mi ignorancia, pero ¿no se decía que la suite electrónica y el radar del F-35 era mucho más capaces que la del resto de aparatos y que no necesitarían pod de EW?......

Ya, ya, pero yo había entendido por los comentarios al respecto que el avión ya disponía de él, no que se le fuese a integrar ahora......no sé, a lo mejor estoy diciendo un disparate....

[Billie Flynn] A: So right we went from World War one the Red Bear and get the world war two like you're talking about p38 it's Spitfires it's against the great German pilot we get to Korea and fighter jets. we get to Vietnam same sort of thing we get to Top Gun thirty something years ago in that movie of dogfights.
That's not my world anymore.
I see the enemy 200 miles away.
They'll never see you you'll never get to look at an F-35 in a dogfight. Because, he will have killed you many many policies it's significant distances away and you'll never even know that it happened to you.

@49:00~
[Billie Flynn] A: If by chance you ever end up in a dogfight then you're gonna end up in a dogfight with an f-35 that does that kind of have that capability to do a spiral maneuver like I mentioned a petal turn and super maneuverable and you're not gonna do very well. As the f-18 and the f-16 find out today when they train against f-35 doesn't end well for the f-18.


@64:30~
Q: another super chat question coming in here thinking technology will keep you out of a dogfight has never worked out in the past I believe that train of thought always backfires your thoughts on that.

[Billie Flynn] A: it no it's really true so I mentioned that you should never get yourself into a dogfight in an f-35. but that that's a whole bunch of assumptions and that assumes everything goes right and that's never the case in combat and it's why we built an airplane that can pull 9g can go 600-700 or knot nautical miles per hour can go 1.6 Mach. and can fight as slow as 50 degrees angle which is slower than any other airplane in the Western world except for the f-22 Raptor.
you have f-35 dogfights better than a Hornet better than an f-16 Viper both airplanes that I love so much it'll hold its own against anyone and if you ever degraded an engagement and found yourself across the circle so face to face with someone I would rather be in enough f-35 than any other airplane remember every all my weapons are cued with my helmet so where I look isn't where the missiles are going and if I look at you you're probably dead.

@73:30~
Q: one quick question that keeps popping up and if you can if you could talk about it what's the max altitude an f-35 or what what is published.

[Billie Flynn] A: so the limit for all of us who don't wear special masks is 50,000 feet. and at some point above that at 50,000 feet you know fighter jet in the West is generally the rule and that's, because above that you'll if you lose pressurization you'll you have a risk of carbon carbon monoxide or carbon. dioxide and contamination nitrogen contamination in your blood and so that's where we limit that it used to be that pilots would cheat that they get 260 or step a thousand feet you'd only find out about it if they have an engine failure you.
probably don't want to spend any time there with an f-35 we have Big Brother watching everything you do there's nothing you do in an f-35 it isn't recorded it isn't found out afterwards so the first guy or gal that thinks they can cheat the system and take an f-35 above 50,000 feet who's going to have a one-way conversation with their commanding officer when they land after it's all over those days of cheating things are over.
