My source on the 8MB broadband on the QE is from page 18 of "maximum value of the F-35" by Justin Bronk of RUSI.

Definition of incredible
1 : too extraordinary and improbable to be believed

? LOL

Every documented comments that I have seen from pilots who have flown 4th gen fighters and then have the opportunity to witness the capability of the sensor fusion in the F-35 all have the same Saul like type expression i.e. Saul's conversion experience when he was on the road to Damascus and his eyes were opened by God. We don't have privy to what God's eye view would mean but "incredible" is not an over statement. To Saul it was a miracle.

Brumby I believe in miracles in biblical sense, so I'll respond in a separate post (right below), to separate The Acts of the Apostles from, well, the Joint Strike Fighter

"15:1" not enough: "Although they don’t have an updated figure, the pilots told us that the F-35 kill ratio was higher than the 15-1 figure they initially reported."
will they make it 20 and revoke one "loss"? LOL

LOLOL they just made it 20: "Indeed, while early reports suggested a

recent Air Force testimony by Lt. Gen. Jerry D. Harris, Vice Commander of Air Combat Command characterized the kill ratio as “20-1” meaning that, for one F-35A “lost” in simulated combat in a high threat environment that the aircraft destroyed 20 simulated enemy aircraft."
Looks like the F-35 achieved an impressive 20:1 kill ratio at Nellis Air Force Base’s Red Flag 17-1

...
to 24:0 “In our own analysis we're seeing a consistent ratio more like 24:0 – we're not losing aircraft at all in our scenarios, and we set the conditions for other legacy fighters to be successful where we can.”

increasing even like prediction from Feb 15, 2017

I'm showing you this in reference to the definition of "incredible", and in reference to the US Military spin-doctoring, which sometimes produces output that might be hard to believe even for brainwashed individuals

EDIT I've now checked all these links still work, telling a truly incredible story LOL

If you are suggesting "incredible' is grounded on the high kill ratio which may be just spin I can agree that there is the possibility of spin coming off Red Flag. The tag incredible is a cumulation of evidence over a long period of time that the F-35 is indeed incredible in its capability based on first hand accounts. This consideration is divorce from the other factors such as it being overbudget, behind schedule and that currently it has problem coping with scaling.

MTLS and ASROC – killing the submarine without a helicopter

:
With eight years until the first Type 26 frigate is at sea, there is plenty of time to consider the options and allocate funding but at present, there is no commitment in the MoD equipment plan to purchase any weapons for the Mk41 cells.

 

[asif iqbal]

There is talk of UK building fleet of SSK to ease the pain on the SSN fleet

Good idea also more port visits it’s essier without nuclear powered submarines
