China, Fearing US Aggression, Accelerating Nuclear Arsenal | Newsmax https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/china-nuclear-threat-ukraine/2022/04/09/id/1065031/?dkt_nbr=6F1212kj50mz
Read the article before critiquing the source. I have seen a video on YouTube from Russian television showing that the F-16 could beat the F-35 in a dogfight. The Russian television video had the designer of the A-10 Warthog and the F-16 discussing the pros and cons of each plane.
Now recently, Popular Science has come out showing that the F-15 Strike Eagle has the new Echo x-ray model that has a lot of advanced semi-stealth features so the United States Air Force could dog fight with a 4th generation fighter against our adversaries. Something the F-35 isn't designed to do and the USAF is making contingencies.
It's good to know that the u.s. Air Force is purchasing 4th generation Fighters and improving them. That being said..
Remember to use your critical thinking skills and to read the article first and not just look at where the story is coming from because Progressive news outlets have reported similar reports about the Chinese build up of nuclear missile silos not knowing which ones are empty and which ones have missiles in them.
China still supports the nuclear Test Ban Treaty. China has vowed to not use its nukes as a first-strike weapon. I wonder if they would make an exception if it was over the United States and Pacific allies defending Taiwan against China?
Hopefully, the developments in Ukraine and the awareness of defending the sovereignty of Nations will put pressure on China to back off. China already is warning the world that the issue between China and Taiwan is an internal affair.
'When in peace prepare for war' is what I had written on my binder in my command and general staff officer common core class.

Well comparing apples to oranges might work, but frankly if an F-16 could get close enough to an F-35 to get into a dogfight it would be something close to a miracle. And exactly what does comparing the A-10 to the F-16 have to do with anything? The A-10 was designed to be a Soviet tank killer and the F-16 was designed to be a low cost air superiority fighter. The missions and performance characteristics don't even cross paths unless of course you say they are both airplanes.

I'm sorry it was confusing the same guy who designed the A-10 Warthog and the F-16 was discussing the merits and demerits of the F-35. I wasn't trying to compare the modern Stuka with the F-35. My point being is that I saw a Russian sponsor TV channel actually have a challenging and thought-provoking comparison of the two. I know the F-35 is a supposed to engage the F-16 but thank goodness the Air Force woke up. You remember John McCain arguing with the 4-star Air Force General. The Air Force General said they couldn't afford the A-10 Warthog anymore. We'll now they can afford the A-10 Warthog and the F-35 and now they're adding more F-15 Echo x-ray models. As you know, I am upset that the Air Force wants to get rid of some of the A-10 Warthogs and the Biden Administration is getting a 15% raise to a couple Federal agency so they can help with the gulf Delta climate change but they only give a 4% raise to the defense budget which means it's - 4%.
Correction, I said it was from Popular Science. It was from Popular Mechanics. Here is the article.
People will automatically see that is Newsmax or Fox News and automatically decide it's not something worth reading. And I'm trying to prove a point that I looked at something that I knew could be tricky or misleading and the story about the F-35 versus the F-16 was actually credible. The Air Force reissuing new models of the F15 Echo x-ray validates at. Thank goodness the Saudi Arabians in the Koreans were asking Boeing to make modified models for their needs and those Legacy models interested the Air Force and now we have our own version. By the way, we also have a semi stealth F-16 model also available as well. So you can still add things to a 4th generation fighter that will still make it harder to see on radar and yet be able to dog fight when needed.

LTC (Join to see) I've been a fan of the A-10 since I was at SOS and the PM was giving us a briefing on the aircraft. In the middle of his briefing he was interrupted and after that he told us that the first production decision had been approved. I've never understood why the AF wanted to get rid of it but as an F-111 series flier I do understand the cost of maintaining an aircraft leading to its demise.
