You are definitely gonna see a hit to RCS, even frontal in the optimized cone, when you do external carry. There is no way around it. But the penalty may be acceptable depending on the mission profile.

I am rather sceptical about how some it really is, but overall - yes.
Raptor as is is apparently combat ineffective for far eastern theater. Would be ironic if right wing pod is not just datalink, but also EW one. Then this configuration will be overturning all F-22 design compromises, just to achieve an improved, somewhat, F-15...
Not like i can't understand them (all current wide area detection capability is limited to navy E-2Ds; best fighter available can't even properly be cued by interlinked 4th gen fighters), but still, rather stupid position to be in after decades of denial.

I mean the external fuel tanks could probably be dropped along with the hard points once it is in theater. You probably want to keep the IRST though.
USS Potty
Wonder if he leaked tactics employed by and against F-35…

Beast mode. Lion. Hopefully he gets a good lawyer for a leniency
Why did he even head back especially now when law enforcement is going full retard? He wouldn’t have gotten away with it under Branden. Under Mango it might go federal and he’ll get the chair or life in prison.
Ignorance, or innocence. We also shouldn't rule out that they just stack bogus accusations on him as a patsy.
