F-35 News. What we all missed..Quote of the week.


 Check this out....
"[Stealth] is needed for what we have in the future for at least 10 years out there and there is nothing magic about that decade," Greenert said. "But I think we need to look beyond that. So to me, I think it's a combination of having aircraft that have stealth but also aircraft that can suppress other forms of radio frequency electromagnetic emissions so that we can get in."
That's Admiral Greenert, Chief Of Naval Operations talking.

He let the cat out of the bag but no one was paying attention.

Basically he's telling us that in 10 years, the stealth advantage that the F-35 brings to the party will no longer be good enough.

How did we all miss that?

NOTE:  Could this explain why the Russians built the partial stealth PAK-FA instead of a full stealth airplane?
