F-35 Lightning II Fighter Fighter “continues to do the story” and “scares Russia,” says 19FortyFive edition, commenting on the first successful landing of the aircraft with a short take-off and vertical landing of the sea case (CMP) of the USA to the TRIPOLI landing ship .
According to the US publication, thus F-35 Lightning II demonstrated that it will be universal “in the event of a conflict with Russia or China.”
19FortyFive writes that the use of fifth generation fighters on landing ships will strengthen the possibilities of US naval forces (Navy). “The advantage in the presence of several ships, regardless of their type from which aircraft can take off, knocks down the enemy with a sense and makes it difficult to calculate his calculations,” the publication says.
In January, the Edition of Defense News admitted that the fifth generation fighter F-35 Lightning II produced by the American company Lockheed Martin as a possible candidate for replacing the German Tornado aircraft may threaten the joint program of France, Germany and Spain to create a European fighter Future Combat Air System (FCAS).
